Carlo, please add me to your ping list. Low carb has my attention. Makes sense. 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.
I have ben low carbing it since May but have really plateaued in the weight loss department. My problem is that I am nursing a six-month-old Freeperet and am ALWAYS STARVING! Also, we keep kosher so that complicates it a little (no dairy and meat at the same meal). I also HATE Splenda and other fake sugars, can only tolerate them in the Atkins protein bars if I have to.
I came up with two EASY EASY recipes. Try these:
One is for "ice cream," and you have to have lost your sweet tooth a little to eat it, but it is SO GOOD. In your food processor, mix about equal parts cream and frozen berries (raspberries or blackberries, no sugar added of course). It has great consistency and mouth feel of ice cream without the cloying sweetness. If you don't get the desired consistency, add one or the other ingredient til you do.
Add some unsalted chopped nuts and pretend they are chocolate chips. Yum.
NACHOS! I love nachos. I discovered the ONE VEGETABLE that stays crunchy in the microwave: JICAMA. Jicama is a big beige root in your local produce department. It's allowed in unlimited quantities on Atkins. Peel it (by chopping off the peel side with a knife is how I do it), and slice the white interior fairly thin, into "chip-sized" pieces. Spread over a decent paper plate. Top with lots of shredded cheddar and chopped pickled jalapenos. Microwave until cheese melts. It's really good!
