I mostly cook with thighs and legs. Breasts that are thoroughly cooked are often dry.

I have not been following this thread since this is the first I have heard of it. Permit me to offer this as a way to cut the worst carb, sucrose or sugar. Men should ingest no more than 30 grams daily and I think women about 22 grams or so. We use whey protein powder to sweeten cereal and oatmeal. It provides very digestible protein and is very low in sugar. Just a suggestion.

Hands down, Linda’s LC site has best recipes. http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/

This guy is my second go to site. It’s mainly LC but he has some not LC. http://texascookin.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2012-01-01T00:00:00-06:00&updated-max=2013-01-01T00:00:00-06:00&max-results=20

We’ve been off LC the past two weeks mainly due to my pity party in not losing any weight for months despite serious trying and 1000 calories a day. Trying to get back on the wagon today with veggie sticks with Hidden Valley Ranch dip for lunch and dinner will be mashed cauliflower and grilled sausage links.

Thanks for the Stella Style link. I took advantage of his cookbook offer. I’ve been eating low carb since about 2000. There really aren’t any carbs I miss anymore because the few times I cheat and eat them, I usually feel awful afterwards- sluggish, indigestion, heartburn, etc. I love my spiralizer for zucchini and prefer that sauced rather than pasta. I like to cook cod pieces (the fish, not the wardrobe piece) in butter, garlic, lemon, and Parmesan and add the zucchini during the last few minutes of cooking. It’s a dish that has been well received by the family.

I gave up on trying to make ice cream because even with alcohol it’s hard as a rock. Now I just whip some cream with cocoa powder, Splenda and sugar free Torani syrup or almond extract. I drop spoonfuls onto a wax paper covered cookie sheet, freeze solid, then stick in a Ziploc. Usually just a couple take care of any desert / treat cravings.

Another treat favorite is pepperoni with a dot of pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese cooked in the microwave on 2 paper plates till crisp (about a min.) I use tongs to move the pepperoni to the paper plate on the bottom to continue to absorb the grease. It’s a nice substitute for pizza. I don’t like crust enough to bother trying a cauliflower one.

Maple syrup; crumbled bacon, and chicken thighs.

Awesome taste.

I marinate chicken breasts (with skin & bones on) overnight in Italian salad dressing and then sous vide them for a couple hours at 145f.

Discard the skin and pull the meat off the bone. Simple!
It’s the most tender and moist chicken you’ll ever eat. Great in salads, sandwiches, etc.

Milk works as a good marinade too.

We’ve been having a lot of salads lately.

I agree about the chicken thighs vs. the breast meat. Just more flavor. I’ll take a package of 4 thighs and debone them - very easy. Then marinade for 3-4 hours before putting them on the charcoal grill. Very tasty.

Thanks for the recipes...

I've never made this but it is no carb bread. CLOUD BREAD 2 eggs Separated 2 oz Cream Cheese 1/8 tsp cream of tartar Preheat oven to 300′. Separate eggs. Whites in one bowl, yolks in another. Add cream cheese to yolks and mix until smooth. In the other bowl add cream of tartar to whites, and beat with hand mixer on high until fluffy and peaks form. Carefully add the yolk mixture to the white mixture and fold to combine tupperware overnight. Like Magic they turn into “buns”.

Karen Barnaby is a chef from my home town of Vancouver BC. She lost a lot of weight on low carb. She’s written some terrific cookbooks( her low carb one is great).
Here are some of her recipes. I use many of them to this day.

Thank you so much for the low carb recipes.

[TEXOKIE]

Lo carb bump!

Thanks for the links!

Thanks for the ping. My Dr. has me on the low carb diet. So I have been collecting any and all recipes I can to help me along.

Today I made a dish out of some leftovers-I had some small amounts of stuff in bags from the produce section one patty of sausage and a quarter lb of hamburger.

So I fried up a little bacon to get the grease and crumbled that to use later. Browned the hamburger and sausage, and reserved that. Used the grease to saute the veggies:

Handful of cabbage slaw mix and handful of broccoli slaw mix. Diced onions, green bell peppers, and a clove of garlic. Seasonings: Soy sauce & equal amount of water, ginger, thyme, green onion powder, lots of pepper, several good squirts of Sirracha Sauce. Saute veggies a bit add the soy sauce/spice mix stir and cook till crisp tender.

Garnish with bacon and a handful of sliced almonds. Accompanied by pickled zuke and fresh cukes/onion refrigerator mixture which had marinated in Raw Apple Cider vinegar/water and pickling spices.

Pretty good taste. Hubby liked it too.
