Get series about HEALTHY, and LOW CARB FOOD

This, and future threads, will attempt to answer some of your questions and requests regarding HEALTHY food in general, and LOW CARB, LOW CALORIE diets and recipes in particular.

With my background as a Master Chef, and Natural Foods Sexonutritionist, aka SexyChef  (/dreamer) Bwhahaahahahahah, it affords me a wonderful vantage point to assist in creating this forum, where everyone can contribute, exchange ideas and voice their valuable opinions. Moderating in no way qualifies me as an authority on this, or any other subject.*..heheheh ..that has never inhibited me before.. blush
* (a cheap unofficial GENERAL ESCAPE CLAUSE.. HA!)
 
There are many other FReepers, (you know who you are.. LOL) on this amazing site that have a great deal more detailed knowledge and information on specific topics, that will no doubt emerge. Sooooooo, lets get started..

This TRAIN IS LEAVING THE STATION... chew, chew
(chew chew,not Choo, choo,  get it?  food)..  Hahahahhahaha...  {{{{{crickets}}}}} .....GULP!....this is gonna be a long thread..  :)

Stop the Pop & drop 5 Lb. in a week or less!

I find a dash of lemon juice in my water makes it easier to drink all day.

Please add me to your ping list.

I have been doing Atkins for 30 days now and I am down 10 lbs.

[Servant of the Nine]

any ideas for "fake sweets"? I'm also getting tired of sugar free jello and pudding. I'll try the pumpkin pie.

Give them up. Just hold out and then about once every six weeks buy 5 pounds of the richest chocolates you can find and gorge till you blow chunks.
It's almost carb free if you do it fast enough, and it will ruin your apetite for sweets for another 6 weeks.

If you are annoyed that you were pinged in the first place, please accept my apology, I have lost my ping list because of a computer crash.

Mediterranean Pork Medallions
 
Forget the Frogs, I call this is the Italian-Greek version...Hahahahaha

• 1/2  whole pork tenderloin (approx. 2 lbs.) cut into 1/2" thick rounds
• 2 Tbls. butter or pure olive oil
• 1/4 cup sliced shallots, or scallions
• 4 Tbls. heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 3 Tbls. Chianti wine (optional, I put it in just to call it Italian..HA!)
• 3 Tbls. capers, drained
• 2 Tbls. coarse grained mustard (you could use Dijon, but don't tell anyone)

1) Use a mallet or rolling pin, to flatten pork rounds slightly to scant 1/2" thickness. Sprinkle w/salt & pepper.
2) Sauté in butter or olive oil until brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer pork to a plate.
3) Add shallots to skillet and stir 1 minute.
4) Add chicken broth and cream. Boil until sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon, stirring up browned bits, about 3-5 minutes. 5) Mix in capers and mustard. Return pork to sauce. Simmer to heat through.
Makes 4 servings - 4 carbs per serving.

There are all kinds of low-carb chocolates and bars on the market now. I buy mine from Trader Joe's and Wal-Mart. A little more expensive than the real stuff, but it actually tastes good. At Wal-Mart you can find it in the pharmacy. Albertsons carries some Atkins food. TJ's also carries Atkins ice cream.
