Well, since it's about zero here tonight, we made something similar, but made it hot. It's delicious. I think a sprinkle of cinnamon enhances chocolate. I don't think we'll try it with ice for a few months.

I dont know what you would call this, but I make it for breakfast all phases. Kinda like a quiche, or a baked omlette. Easy and lots of variations. I see alot of similar recipes posted. Here is my version:

6 eggs
8oz package RF cheese
chopped meat and/or veggies as desired.

beat eggs, mix in cheese and chopped ingredients. Pour into a sprayed pie plate. Bake 1/2 hr at 350. Makes 6-8 servings.

This week I made mine with tomatoes, onion, and sharp cheddar. I've done hot peppers, mushrooms, and swiss cheese too...sometimes ham, bacon, sausage. Lots of different ways. I have also doubled this recipe (dozen eggs, 2 packages cheese) and baked in a 13x9 pan.

We do something similar. Dozen eggs, 12 oz. grated cheese, 6 c. sauteed veggies, cut into 12 pieces. Each piece then has 1 egg, 1 oz. cheese and 1/2 c. veggies. Great any time of day and we even eat them cold for lunch sometimes. You could take a piece to work.

Does anyone have some good recipes for cauliflower or can your direct me to the links? Not the mashed cauliflower stuff (I've grown tired of that). Just looking for something delicious to do with a head of fresh cauliflower that is phase one friendly and fairly easy.
Thanks!

[Radmom413]

Try roasting it!
Yum!!!

[rose1]

Cut into very small florets. Steam and drain very well. (I hate wet cauliflower.)
Load it like a loaded potato; cheese, bacon, chives or scallions, butter, whatever, then bake until melted and gooey.

Cream of cauliflower soup.

[buckhuntress]

I wound up roasting it last night, turned out yummy, thanks for the suggestion!

Rose, loading it like a potato is something I never thought of but sounds delicious! I will definately have to try that soon!

[buckhuntress]

AND once you can have your grains; there are alot of wonderful whole wheat tortilla's out there!

[Berta48]

Morning Cindy and EVERYONE

It is sure COLD here this a.m.

I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION PLEASE.
Phase two... grains are added are they whole wheat or just have to be whole grain?
AND one more
is Velveeta light allowed?

I have certainly been finding some very good sounding recipes on the internet. Can't wait to try them.

Where can I find Linda's recipes I have seen so many speak of?

Everyone have a great day!

[Radmom413]

Here is Linda Sue's Site Berta:

Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes - Home

You really have to read the labels with the grains; 3 or more grams of fiber is what you are looking for.

Honestly, I am not sure about the Velveeta Light. Are you making something specific with it?

Thanks for the site.
Well I am wanting macaroni and cheese and I love the velvetta light.But can't make it until I go to phase 2 Thursday. Thought I might add some lean cubed ham to it and maybe some broccolli ?

I know I can use cheddar or other but I love the velvetta.

Whole grain crispy chicken strips
Submitted by: ZORBS13
25 Minutes to Prepare and Cook

Poultry |
Ingredients
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
Salt and ground black pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch wide strips
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup oats
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon onion powder (substitute any spices you like, I use Montreal steak spice)



Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

In a shallow dish, combine flour and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and black pepper.
Place milk in a separate shallow dish.

In a third shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, combine parmesan, oats, garlic powder, onion powder. (I whizz this in the food processor for a few pulses) You can also add any spices you like here - sometimes we add some Italian seasoning, other times some chili powder if we feel like spicy, etc.

Dip chicken into flour and turn to coat.

Dip flour-coated chicken into milk and then transfer chicken to oat mixture.

Turn to coat chicken (or shake bag) until well covered with oat mixture.

Place chicken on prepared baking sheet and spray the top of chicken with cooking spray.

Bake 15 minutes, until crust is golden brown and chicken is cooked through. (I bake, then turn on the broiler for a few minutes to really brown/crisp them and get the coating crunchy)

Moroccan Chicken (Phase 1 Friendly!)

1 tablespoons olive oil
1 large sliced onion
6 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
28 oz canned diced tomatoes (drain a little liquid off, but do not strain them)
juice of 1 lemon
4 to 6 large chicken breasts with bones, skinned

1 large eggplant, peeled, cut into 1-inch cubes

Chopped fresh cilantro


Heat olive oil in heavy large wide pot over medium heat.

Add onions and garlic. Cover and cook until onions are soft, about 10 minutes. Add paprika, salt, turmeric, fennel, pepper, cumin, and ginger; stir 1 minute. Add tomatoes and lemon juice; bring to boil. Arrange all chicken in pot; spoon some sauce over. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes. Turn chicken over, cover, and simmer until chicken is tender, about 20 minutes longer. (The object is to cook the chicken on very low heat, very slowly so it doesn't dry out. This recipe was meant for dark meat orginally.)

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F. Cover a baking sheet with foil, spray with olive oil cooking spray. Place eggplant cubes on sheet and coat with ,more cooking spray (or toss with olive oil). Bake until soft and brown, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. (Chicken and eggplant can be made 1 day ahead. Refrigerate separately.)

Stir eggplant and cilantro into chicken. Simmer uncovered 10 minutes to heat through and blend flavors.

Notes: OK, I love to cook so I have all these spices readily available. I realize not everyone else does! The paprika and fennel seed give a lot of flavor, I would not skip those. But don't go out and buy a can of turmeric if you will never use it again. However, you will see that the turmeric is what gives the sauce and chicken a lovely yellowish color.

The reason for a stainless pan is that lemon juice reacts with aluminum or telfon and will have an off taste and the acid also pits the cookware. A glass or corningware type pot will work well, too. How many servings does this make?

Enjoy!
