1. Portabello pizzas. Take a portabello mushroom, turn it upside down, put a bit of marinara on it, some cheese (low fat if you can stand it), perhaps a couple pepperoni, etc. Heat until the cheese is bubbly.

2. Salmon with lemon, fresh veggies (mushrooms, zuchinni, crook neck squash), put all in aluminium foil, seal tightly. Cook at 350 F for 20 minutes. (Publix has a Jack Daniels marinated Salmon that is delicious and is alcohol free, very few carbs added by the marinade.)

3. Hamburger scramble. Brown hamburger, add some flavorings, add cheese. Add some low carb veggies and it is actually a satisfying meal, especially if you like hamburgers.

4. Chicken, oh man, I can't go there, too many. BUT, I do recommend you keep some of the frozen chicken tenderloins in the freezer. They thaw quickly and cook easily and so many things you can do with them.

There are lots of low carb recipes on the web. Google "low carb recipes" and you will get some really good sites with great recipes, all free. (Except that I hope you have a program that cleans up those pesky little ad plugins, etc. I run that once a week to keep the computer clean.)

OH, and I forgot eggs. Lots you can do with eggs, too. Crustless quiche, all kinds of scrambles. Walmart and other stores also carry low carb flat breads, etc, that you can use if you absolutely must have a wrap or burrito kind of fix. I usually cut them in half and only use half for a meal.

Make a mixture of 1 cup mayo 3/4 shredded cheddar 3/4 parmesan-regianno. add salt pepper and some dried basil. spread the mixture on top of the tomatoes evenly top with chopped green onion. Bake at 350 until golden brown. So good!

be careful with the low carb stuff, as drinkers our kidneys are already taxed and high protein diets are hard on the kidneys!

sorry to interrupt!

The portabella pizza is GREAT! My mom made us some a couple of months ago and they were fantastic!

I'm finding that shredded cabbage makes a great pasta substitute for low carb meals.

I also make various 'chef's salad' versions of cole slaw. Just imagine cole slaw but with everything including the kitchen sink tossed in. healthy and easy.

Hi Cindy!
What temp do you cook the portobello pizzas on?

[Prest4time]

Det,
I love the new face of cole slaw as well... and the great thing is you can make it ahead and it is not "wilted" the next day.

My current fav is probably boring, but take shredded cabbage, feta cheese (as much as you want), diced black or kalamata olives... some spring onions (they hold up well under fridge and dressing), and some good Greek dressing... just chop some fresh tomato and cucumber and add just before serving or privately indulging! Tastes fabulous the next day....almost better! Try this as a bed for a great chicken salad... yummers.

And I'm really hooked on the portabella pizzas as well! I just add a ton of other stuff.
