love atkins

[sammy1]

Well have eaten the bake, wasn't really that keen on it tbh, the curdled a bit, so not great, back to the drawing board.
I did however make a lovely brocolli soup for tomorrow.

1 Leek, sauted in butter
500 gr brocolli
Enough chicken stock to cover
When brocolli is cooked liquidise and add 125ml cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg.

[ladyfelsham]

I love celeriac chips and egg, it's one of my Atkins comfort foods, for certain! So glad you liked the bark - its a daily treat for me right now as I'm aiming to keep my fats up, and definitely puts paid to any chocolate cravings. I gave some to my (thin, non Atkins eating) mum today and she thought it tasted just like her expensive chocolates too.

Morning all,
Brocolli f/p/c. 61.2/27/21 this is for the full pot, makes at least 6 portions, more if u don't like your soup thick. The stock added nearly 4 carbs, I need to find a diff stock or start making my own.
Yesterday, 70/25/5, although prob less, I could only eat a bit of chicken bake, it was not good
I am going to make cocoa bark today, with coffee essence. Will let you know how I get on
Today
B soup, I am out today and can't have it for lunchl.
L egg, mayo and lettuce wraps
D burger with blue cheese and bacon wrapped in lettuce with celeriac chips ( can't wait)

Hope you all have a good day

If anyone finds a diet that can make you more organized, let me know as I'm a hopeless case

75/20/5

Today
B American style pancakes with vain and "coke syrup" so nice receipe below
L brocolli soup
D fish with m&s itian stle salad

Pancakes
15gr flax ground
1 egg
1/4 teas baking powder
1 canderel tablet
1 tbs creme fraiche
1 tbs water
Mix together
Spoon into frying pan and cook for 5 mins

Coke syrup.( this needs to be tweaked)

Boil coke til well reduced, add 1 teas butter and 1 tbs of cream. Cook til about 2 tbs left in pot, allow to cool, when it will thicken.

Not quite American pancakes, with bacon and maple syrup but a great substitute. I will make it again.

 

[sammy1]

I have now reread the above post, I use my phone to post, and it decides the words... vain should say bacon, and another word there should say style...

Hope you all have a great day.

 

[coffeelover]

Syrup sounds really interesting Sammy. I did do a double take at vain lol Soup sounds great!

 

[stubbsey]

i saw that recipe on a site i was browsing last night, boiled coke lol i did make a bbq sauce once with diet coke so why not, might be really nice

 

[moonlights]

I wonder how bacon becomes vain? ESP as its just taken me three tries to get my phone to type vain! Bloody things!

Funnily enough I have cream cheese pancakes on my meal plan for later in the week (simpler recipe, no creme fraiche or flax). Might have to think about trying the syrup!

 

[Scrumbles]

Thanks for the recipe, sammy! ...will try it when my flax gets here.

And "coke syrup"??! Sounds fascinating!

 

[Kat1e]

Haha for vain

Sorry the coke syrup does not appeal we do have the lcm sf maple syrup but actually berries and cream are even better

 

[Ange7367]

Mmmm....coke syrup lol....think I might give that a go....just out of interest lol....BBQ sauce sounds a bit better must have a mooch about and find a low carb recipe for BBQ sauce x

Morning all, pretty good day yesterday 60/35/5.

Today
B pizza, receipe below, it was lovely although base wad not crispy
L egg ham and coleslaw lettuce wraps
D out for tapas with some friends, it should be ok except for the wine.

Pizza, I really enjoyed pancakes yesterday and wondered what else I could cook with the flax, yesterday was the first time I used it.

30gr flax
1 egg
1 tbs cream
Enough water to make it liquid enough to cover bottom of frying pan.

Cook over low heat, turn over and while bottom is cooking add your topping, I use tomato sauce, oregano, cheese and salami.

I want to eat it again now....

 

[Scrumbles]

I like the sound of that pizza!

Will try that...if my flax ever gets here! :sigh:
