House Dressing
Serves:??,10
CarbsPerServing:Not darn many!
Prep Time:One minute or less
Effort:Easy
Ingredients:
Mayo
White wine Dijon mustard
Steak sauce of your choiceThat’s it!

How to Prepare:
I usually make it 3 1/2 parts mayo to 2 parts mustard to 1 part
steak sauce. Since the steak sauce has carbs, I’ve been cutting
back. You can do it to taste! You won’t need much steak sauce.This
is great for shrimp, Wasa crackers, chicken, veggies, anything!
White Dipping Sauce for Shrimp, Veggies or Porkrinds

CarbsPerServing:12g total
Effort:Easy
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce1 teaspoon fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce — or red pepper
1 clove garlic

How to Prepare:
Mix all ingredients until smooth. Chill for 3 hours. This is best
used to dip cocktail shrimp or veggies and dare I say pork rinds
(ewwww) I have been told by several people in the chat room (that I
gave the recipe too), that they love it. I am not a fan of
horseradish sauce, but there is something about this dip that makes
it so good. It is extremely low carb also! Enjoy!

    Effort:Average
    Ingredients:
    1 cup chopped cooked
    turkey
    1 cup chopped ham
    6 eggs
    3 tablespoons oil
    2 medium tomatoes —

    recipe should be about 6-7 carbs or less and is wonderful.

    1/2 teaspoon paprika
    1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
    1 teaspoon salt

    How to Prepare:
    Line bottom of 10 X 13 pan with sliced cheese. Mix sour cream with
    paprika, dry mustard, and salt. Spread over cheese. Crumble browned
    sausage evenly over sour cream mixture. Pour beaten eggs on top of
    sausage. Top with shredded cheese to taste. Bake at 325 for approx.

    Pickled Eggs / Red Beet Eggs (PA Dutch)
    Serves:varies
    CarbsPerServing:minimal
    Prep Time:30 mins
    Effort:Easy
    Ingredients:
    2 cans of beets w/juice (sliced, whole, etc)
    5 packets (or more to taste, you can add more later) Splenda
    1 C water
    3/4 C cider vinegar
    3 bay leaves
    2 tsp mustard seed
    1.5 tsp salt
    1 tsp ground cinnamon
    1 tsp whole allspice
    1/2 tsp ground cloves
    1/2 tsp ground allspice
    1/2 tsp celery seed
    1 doz small peeled and cooked hard cooked eggs

    How to Prepare:
    Put all ingredients except the eggs into a sauce pan. Bring to a
    boil. Simmer for 10 minutes. COOL COMPLETELY. (If you don’t and add
    the eggs, you will get a totally inedible egg). Refrigerate for two
    days. Then enjoy!

    Note: I have left out ingredients I didn’t have at various times.
    I’ve substituted Coleman’s mustard powder for the seed, omitted
    allspice, celery seed, etc. And they’ve been fine.

    If the solution after cooled tastes too vinegar like, add more
    splenda to cut the vinegar taste.

    Serves:5
    CarbsPerServing:2
    Prep Time:40 mins
    Effort:Easy
    Ingredients:
    1 tube of jimmy dean breakfast sausage (I like the HOT)
    5 peeled dry hardboiled eggs

    1/4 inch.. tke your hard boiled egg and place it between the 2
    patties and seal the egg inside and roll it like a meatball and make
    sure its sealed inside. Repeat with the rest of the eggs.. I find
    this is enough meat for 5 Jumbo eggs you might be able to make 6 or
    7 with smaller eggs.. place “meatballs” in a baking pan and bake at
    350 for 30 mins.. They might split while baking but thats ok still
    tastes the same.. store in the fridge for a nice grab and go
    breakfast just microwave for 30 seconds to reheat! Also great topped

    Low Carb Sugar/Chocolate Cookies
    Serves:4,4
    CarbsPerServing:11g carbs total
    Effort:Easy
    Ingredients:
    1/2 Cup atkins bake mix —
    or any low carb flour
    substitute
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/8 cup artificial sweetener
    — 10-12 packets
    1/2 Cup butter
    1/3 Cup brown sugar twin
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 egg
    1 teaspoon unsweetened
    cocoa — optional

    How to Prepare:
    Preheat Oven to 375.F deg.

    Mix flour, salt, and baking
    soda in one small bowl.
    In another bowl, blend
    together butter, sugars, and
    extract until creamy with
    electric mixer.

    When creamy, add egg to
    mix and beat again until
    even more creamier.
    Gradually add dry mix into
    the
    wet mix bowl and continue
    to beat until dough like.

    Optional: Add cocoa into
    mix and beat well.

    Plop onto greased (I use Pam) cookie sheet, flatten
    out if you want to and bake
    for 15-20 minutes. Take
    out when done and let sit
    for another 5 minutes.
    Makes about 12 2×2in
    cookies.

    I got this recipe from the
    back of chocolate chip bag
    and switched some of the
    ingredient to its low carb
    equivalent. It tastes really
    good but it never hurts
    to add more sugar
    sometimes.

    Broccoli Onion Swiss Quiche
    CarbsPerServing:30 total recipe
    Effort:Easy
    Ingredients:
    3 cups chopped broccoli — cooked, drained, cooling
    1/2 cup chopped onion — favorite color
    3 tablespoons butter — (or less)
    1 1/2 tablespoons soy flour
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    pepper and nutmeg to taste (pinch)3 eggs
    1/2 cup heavy cream
    with enough water to equal 2/3 cup liquid
    4 slices cooked bacon — crumbled or cut in
    small pieces
    2 ounces shredded swiss cheese

    How to Prepare:
    9″ pie plate sprayed with non-stick spray
    375 degrees, 25 minutes

    1. Set aside cooked broccoli
    2. Saute onions gently in butter, when tender add soy flour and cook
    a
    couple more minutes.
    3. Whisk together eggs, cream & water. Blend in salt and spices.
    4. Combine egg mix, prepared vegetables and cheese.
    5. Pour into prepared pie plate.
    6. Bake until puffed and browned.

    Personal notes: Next time I will increase the 2 oz cheese to 4 oz
    because I
    want the swiss flavor more pronounced. Also I think this would make
    a great
    appetizer if baked in a 7 x 11″ chilled and cut into small squares,
    served
    cold or reheated. Very pretty if topped with small strips of pimento
    or red
    bell pepper laced through a slice of black olive?

    Fantabulous Creamed Spinach
    Serves:4
    CarbsPerServing:6.5g tot - 3.25g fiber = 3.25g digestible carbs
    Effort:Easy
    Ingredients:
    1 package (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed
    1 cup chopped mushrooms
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    2 Tbsp. butter
    2 Tbsp. heavy cream
    2 Tbsp. cream cheese
    2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
    1 tsp. Thicken/Thin not StarchVege Sal (or Salt) & Pepper

    Optional: 2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

    How to Prepare:
    Saute onion in butter until transluscent in a medium skillet. Add
    mushrooms and saute until both onions and mushrooms are soft and
    cooked.

    Add in thawed chopped spinach and mix well with mushrooms and onions.

    Add cream, cream cheese, and mayo. Stir in until everything is
    melted and/or incorporated. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle
    Thicken/Thin not Starch over entire pan and stir in until the
    liquids thicken. (Optional: sprinkle 2 slices of crumbled bacon over
    everything.) Serve hot.

    Notes:The Thicken/Thin Not Starch is optional, but it makes things
    really nice and creamy. Guar/Xanthan gum could also be used for this
    (although I do not know what amount).

    If you don’t use Thicken/Thin, it won’t change the digestible carbs
    because it is all fiber. If you add bacon, it adds a bit more
    protein and fat, but no carbs.
