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..  :)

Add me to your low-carb recipe ping list please.

I have been doing semi-Atkins for a month now (down 18 pounds), and I am running out ways to cook the few things I do cook. I could use some ideas, preferably ones an amateur can reasonably approximate :-)

SCOTCH EGGS

6 large (or 8 medium) eggs
1 lb. lean bulk sausage
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. fine breadcrumbs
1 egg beaten well with 2 tbls milk or cream
oil for frying

Hardboil eggs, cool them completely and then peel. Divide sausage into 6 or 8 even pieces, depending on whether you used large or medium eggs. Take one piece of sausage, flatten it in the palm of your hand, and then wrap it around an egg. As the sausage gets warmed by your hands, it will be easier to completely cover the egg. Make sure there are NO white spots showing.

After all eggs are covered roll them lightly in the flour, dip in the egg/cream mixture, then roll lightly in the crumbs. You should have lots of flour and about 1/3 of the crumbs left.

Heat the oil and fry the eggs until deep brown. It will take several minutes to make sure the sausage is well cooked.

Drain on paper towels, and refrigerate eggs immediately. These are meant to be sliced in half and eaten cold. Yummmmmm.

Grilled Marinated London Broil

For my cook-out buds, this one takes the prize!

• 1/2 cup pure olive oil
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon-style prepared mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 pounds flank steak, or London broil (interchangeable) 


1 In a medium bowl, combine the oil, soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic and ground black pepper. Mix together well. Place meat in a glass bowl and pour marinade over meat, turning meat to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours.
2 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium high heat and lightly oil grate.
3 Grill meat over medium high heat for 10 minutes per side or to desired doneness.
This makes 4 good sized servings
