MOM'S SALAD DRESSING
1/2 c. olive oil
1/2 c. vinegar
1/2 c. water
1/4 c. Splenda
1 t. seasalt
Mix altogether. Can add garlic, oregano, hotsauce, etc. to your taste.

Don't know if this is legal or not...but it sure beats WF dressings.

Note: I usually had used canola oil. I find with the olive oil, I have to remember to take it out earlier to liquify - or zap it in the microwave for 30 seconds.

1 package Ideal butterscotch or chocolate pudding
1/8 cup rolled oats
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 tsp Splenda (or stevia)

Here is my "modified" version of the WW zero point soup.

3 c. chicken or beef broth (fat free and reduced sodium)
2 garlic cloves
1/2 c. celery
1 T tomato paste
2 c. chopped cabbage
1/2 c. onion
1/2 c. frozen or fresh green beans
1/2 c. chopped zucchini
1/2 t. dried basil
1/2 t. dried oregano
sea salt and pepper to taste

Spray the bottom of a medium sauce pan with olive oil cooking spray. Saute the garlic and celery on medium-low heat until celery starts to soften. Add 1/2 c. of the stock, cabbage and zucchini and saute for a few more minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir around. Add the rest of the stock, green beans, onion, basil, and oregano. Let simmer for 10-15 min. Sea salt and pepper to taste.

This recipe has 4 cups of vegetables added so I just considered it 2 servings.
I also counted it as 1/2 cup of restricted veggies since it has green beans and tomato paste.

MARINATED VEGETABLES
1C vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar, but can use white)
1C salad oil (i use olive oil)
1T splenda
1T dill weed
1tsp salt
1tsp pepper

Add in quantities that you want - celery, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, etc. Marinate overnight and enjoy. (you can tell when it is time to throw out if you haven't eaten it completely - it gets "slimy" when old)

Juicy Chipotle Roasted Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients:
1 pork tenderloin (1 - 1 1/2 pounds)
Chipotle Rub by Pampered Chef*** (some other rub options are at the bottom of the page, if you don't have this)

1) Preheat oven to 350.
2) Sprinkle rub on outside of Pork Tenderloin until coated
3) Heat olive oil in pan over med-high heat. (preferred is a cast iron pan, or any pan that can go from stovetop to oven).
4) When pan is hot place pork tenderloin in pan, searing on all sides. Searing is important here - it seals the juices into the meat, so don't skip this step! To sear, turn the meat after about 1-2 minutes on the heat. Keep rotating until all sides have been seared.
5) Transfer the pan into the preheated oven (if you don't have a pan that can go from stove to oven, transfer into an oven-suitable pan).
6) bake for 20 minutes.
7) Remove from oven, slice and enjoy.


Other Rub Alternatives
If you don't have the awesome Chipotle Rub (and no - I'm not a PC rep!), here are a couple of alternatives:

Herb and Garlic Rub
1 tbsp parsley, minced
1/2 tsp fresh thyme, minced
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp rosemary, minced
1/2 tsp sea salt

Garlic-Rosemary:
2 tsps Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp rosemarry

Garlic-Rosemary:
1 tbsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp rosemarry

Curried Rub
1 tbsp. curry
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
Pinch of cayenne

Be really cautious about buying pre-made rubs from the spice section. I've noticed many of the nutrition info shows 0 calories, but will list sugar as the 2nd or 3rd ingredient.

These are not my own, I read them somewhere on the internet. I haven't tried either of them yet, but certainly will as soon as I begin Ideal Protein.

Large zucchini can be peeled, then sliced lengthwise and seeded. Now slice crosswise to make pieces that look like apple slices. These are seasoned with cinnamon or apple pie spice and a bit of allowed sweetener. Microwave in a small glass dish with a lid for a few minutes for a "baked apple" dessert.

Or, the same ingedients can be simmered in a saucepan with a little water on the stove top until it is cooked down to "apple butter" and can used as a spread on crepes or topping on vanilla pudding.

I love the idea of turning a veggie into dessert... and no need to waste the zucchini peels - I would chop them and add to soup or maybe a stir fry. Be creative! Ü

Just an FYI I do not do well with an "actual" recipe but I'll try and put it in recipe form!

I just made this for dinner and WOW I totally loved it! (I don't know if I was totally staving but still :lol:)

1lb ground turkey
1 garlic clove-chopped
about 2 pinches of sea salt and then pepper
a head of romaine lettuce -cleaned
handful of bean sprouts
teriyaki sauce what ever kind you like just watch the ingredients that it don't have MSG's or high carbs.

So easy, So good and feeling and Totally legal for your dinner.

Hi, All. I was somewhat underwhelmed by the chocolate pudding, when that was the thing I was most looking forward to trying. Last night I fiddled around with it and came up with a great recipe:

Instead of very cold water, I mixed it at room temp.

Added to the water beforehand:

splash of real french vanilla extract
dash of sea salt
1 1/2 packs of splenda

shake until salt and splenda are dissolved. Add pudding packet and shake the **** out of it in a sealed tupperware. Put in freezer for 30 to 45 mins. I had the idea of making it into some kind of "ice cream", but I think the alcohol in the vanilla extract keeps it from freezing. I think the alcohol also changed the texture from doughy to a smooth real pudding texture. Man was it good.

Echobaby, I did try the zucchini baked like apple slices at lunch today. I wasn't bad... I think it will all depend on the sweetener. I used vanilla stevia and stevia is not a favorite of mine. Ü

All of these recipes look delicious! Yeterday was my first day on IP - for dinner I got a little creative and made this:

7oz shrimp(raw, peeled, deveined)
3/4 cup frozen broccoli pieces
1/4 cup shredded red cabbage
1 tsp minced garlic
Hot Red Pepper sliced/chopped (the amount you put in is up to you - I used the whole thing because Im a heat junkie)
Low Sodium Soy Sauce

Add a little olive oil to your pan - heat it over medium
Add the garlic into the oil and cook it out for a few mins
Throw the cabbage into the pan and cook for 2-3 mins
Then add the Hot Pepper pieces - Cover with a lid for a few mins
Add the frozen broccoli and cover for 7 mins
Add the soy sauce(I use less than the suggested serving size because Im not a fan of soy or tamari)
Throw the shrimp into the pan and cook until pink - stirring frequently to blend all of the flavors together
Once the Shrimp is pink, remove from the heat and let sit covered for 2 mins.

**While the above was cooking and resting - I used the in between time to chop up the other 1 cup of veggies allowed and made a salad**

I love this pot roast!

Put your pot roast in the crockpot. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper and cover with minced garlic. Then add about half a jar of sliced peperocinis along with half a jar of the juice. Cook on high all day. Enjoy!! You can even start the potroast from frozen. Yummy...

These are so good. I use them on a salad or just as my protein for the day. You can use this brine for vegetables (asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower) also:

PICKLED EGGS
3 dozen boiled eggs, peeled 5 bay leaves
1 qt. vinegar 3 Tbsp. salt
1 cup cold water 1 Tbsp. garlic pepper
1 jar hot chili peppers

Peel the boiled eggs and then put all of the ingredients together in a large glass jar and refrigerate for 3-4 weeks until pickled to your taste.

Ingredients:


1 pound mahi-mahi fillets
8 ounces fresh sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 - 1/2 cup finely chopped onion


How to cook Easy Baked Mahi-Mahi with Mushrooms:
Combine marinade.

Ingredients

4 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia
4 cloves crushed garlic
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions
Rub the fish fillets with the crushed garlic, then place them in a shallow, non-reactive dish. Spoon the olive oil over the fish until they are coated. Place the onion on top of the fish. Cover the fish and refrigerate overnight to allow the fish to soak in the marinade.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
If baking the fish, transfer it to a 9x13 inch baking dish along with the olive oil, garlic, and onion. Sprinkle the fish with the cayenne or white pepper. If you are grilling the fish, wrap the fish and oil, garlic, onion, and pepper in aluminum foil.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees F) for 30 minutes.

Ingredients:

6 tablespoons olive oil
***Cajun spice blend:***
4 tablespoons Spanish paprika
1 1/2 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons white pepper
2 tablespoons black pepper
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried oregano
***fish:***
4 Alaskan halibut fillets (8 ounces each)

Directions:

Clean grill with wire brush to get it as smooth as possible. Heat grill, using mesquite charcoal. When heated, wipe grill surface with a towel lightly saturated with soy oil. Repeat this process two or three times before cooking the fish, always remembering to wipe with oil immediately before placing the fish on the hot grill. (This prevents sticking.)

To make spice mix: Mix all spice mix ingredients in a bowl. You will end up with 2 cups of spice mix but you will need only 1 cup for this recipe. Tightly cover the remaining spice mix and use another time.

Put 1 cup spice mix on plate and dredge one side of each fillet. Place halibut fillet on hot, oiled grill, seasoned side down. Place the fish at a diagonal on the cooking grill. This reduces the chance of the fish falling through the grill or falling apart when turning the fish over.

Cook first side of fish 3 to 5 minutes or until fish turns from translucent to opaque/white halfway up thickness of fillet.

Use fork and spatula to turn the fish over. Place fork under fish to gently lift it free of grill while you are easing the spatula under the fish. Turn the fish over, then lightly baste with soy oil.

Cook until fish turns from translucent to opaque and white. Be careful not to cook the fish beyond the point of doneness; otherwise, it will dry it out and become toughened. Remove from grill and serve immediately.

hi there,

I am going to another info seminar on the 16th of November where an IP worker will be providing info and fielding questions. I have a few myself, but for those who are on this diet independently, i would be happy to put some questions forward. Seems like most people are on this diet with assistance through a coach, or their health workers. In our area, it was simply introduced when a local person tried it themselves, liked it, and is now our local outlet to purchase the products. They have offered to be coaches, and are hugely helpful in the motivational department with weekly weighins and measurements etc. I think due to such demand and popularity of this diet, they have requested the IP to come again - i think it is great because i was so skeptical the first session i really did not ask any questions that i now need answers to. Not skeptical anymore! 7th weigh in tomorrow - and feeling positive about it.. have a good day everyone.

In a large skillet or heavy wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the shallot, garlic, scallions and ginger root and cook for about 1 minute to release the aromas. Add the kale a bunch at a time and cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until the leaves have softened a bit but the kale retains its shape. Remove from heat and add the soy sauce. Divide among individual plates, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, if using, and serve hot.

ABOUT COOKED KALE: Some people like their greens on the softer side. For this recipe, author Robyn Webb suggests two techniques to achieve that result:

After the 3 to 4 minutes' cooking time (but before the soy sauce is mixed in), add water, cover and let steam to desired texture. Continue the recipe with the soy sauce step as stated in the recipe directions.

The kale can first be plunged into boiling water and cooked for 3 to 4 minutes, then drained. Proceed with cooking the shallots and then add the kale as stated in the recipe directions.

INGREDIENTS:

4 (1-pound) trout, scaled and gutted
2 good handfuls of fresh thyme
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsps olive oil
2 lemons
4 fresh bay leaves

METHOD:
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Wash the trout inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Using a mortar and pestle, smash the thyme (or finely chop) with 1 tsp salt, pepper and the olive oil. Rub this mixture into the trout, covering the belly cavity and the skin. Cut lemons in half and remove the ends so they have a flat edge. With the point of a knife, make an incision into the flesh of each lemon half and stick a bay leaf into it. Place trout and lemons on a roasting tray and bake, approximately 10 minutes. The trout is cooked properly when the meat is easily pulled away from the bone at the thickest part of the fish. The skin should be crispy and the roasted lemons should be beautifully sweet and slightly jammy in flavor. Serve the trout with the lemon, which you can squeeze on to the fish.

• A bunch of red radish – contains 6 to 8 radishes.
• Onion- one small, sliced.
• Garlic- 2 or 3 small cloves crushed
• Green chilis – 8 small, crushed
• Turmeric powder- a pinch.
• Oil for sauté
• Mustard seeds – a pinch
• Curry leaves- a sprig
• Salt to taste
• The leaves: Roll all the leaves together and slice into long shreds.

Method:
Clean the radishes and cut them as you would slice an apple. Clean the leaves, if you want to use them in the dish.

In a pan, add some oil. When it is hot, add the mustard seeds.

When the mustard seeds splutter, add curry leaves and onions. Saute for 3-5 mins till edges of the onions turn slightly brown.

Add the crushed garlic and chilis, and turmeric powder. Saute for about a minute or even less.

Add the radishes, mix well and add salt. Cook covered for about 3-4 mins.
Once the radish seems soft, remove the lid and crank up the heat. Saute on high heat for a couple more minutes. The radishes will be soft yet crunchy.
After you remove the radishes onto a plate, in the same pan quickly saute the leaves for a few seconds and add it to the top of the radishes.

For best results, serve right off the stove. The dish takes less than 15mins. Make this right before your meal.

This is so easy it's barely a recipe. My favorite kind of cooking - prepare everything, dump it into the oven, set the timer, and come back when it beeps. Cooking things in packages is always fun too. Opening the packet almost feels like unwrapping a present.

6-8 cups of cut-up rhubarb (5-6 stalks). Be sure to cut off any leaf parts.
1 1/2 - 2 cups sugar
1 vanilla pod (optional)
Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F.

Toss together the sugar and rhubarb. Put a double layer of aluminum foil on a baking dish, and put the rhubarb in a pile in the middle. If you're using a vanilla pod, place it in the middle of the rhubarb. Seal up the foil securely so you have a pouch. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until the rhubarb is tender. Chill before serving (though frankly it's good at any temperature).

If you want the rhubarb to disintegrate even more, bake for about 10 minutes longer.

If you want it to be more acidic, omit the vanilla and add the juice of half a lemon

This is so easy it's barely a recipe. My favorite kind of cooking - prepare everything, dump it into the oven, set the timer, and come back when it beeps. Cooking things in packages is always fun too. Opening the packet almost feels like unwrapping a present.

6-8 cups of cut-up rhubarb (5-6 stalks). Be sure to cut off any leaf parts.
1 1/2 cups stevia
1 vanilla pod (optional)
Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F.

Toss together the stevia and rhubarb. Put a double layer of aluminum foil on a baking dish, and put the rhubarb in a pile in the middle. If you're using a vanilla pod, place it in the middle of the rhubarb. Seal up the foil securely so you have a pouch. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until the rhubarb is tender.

2 large bunches of spinach, about 1 lb
Olive oil, extra virgin
3 cloves garlic, sliced
Salt to taste

1 Cut off the thick stems of the spinach and discard. Clean the spinach by filling up your sink with water and soaking the spinach to loosen any sand or dirt. Drain the spinach and then repeat soaking and draining. Put the spinach in a salad spinner to remove any excess moisture.

2 Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until the garlic is just beginning to brown.

3 Add the spinach to the pan, packing it down a bit if you need to with your hand. Use a couple spatulas to lift the spinach and turn it over in the pan so that you coat more of it with the olive oil and garlic. Do this a couple of times. Cover the pan and cook for 1 minute. Uncover and turn the spinach over again. Cover the pan and cook for an additional minute.

4 After 2 minutes of covered cooking the spinach should be completely wilted. Remove from heat. Drain any excess moisture from the pan. Add a little more olive oil, sprinkle with salt to taste. Serve immediately.

Take 4 to 5 pounds of broccoli (I just got two large bunches), cut into florets (but relatively big ones.) Here's the key that she doesn't mention in the recipe: dry them THOROUGHLY. That is, if you wash them.

Now, it's easy. Put the broccoli on a cookie sheet. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. (She says 5 Tbs olive oil, 1 1/2 tsps kosher salt, 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper, but I just eyeballed it.) Now add 4 garlic cloves that are peeled and sliced and toss them in too.

Roast in the oven 20 to 25 minutes, until "crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned."

I shook the pan around a bit as it went, but not sure that's necessary.

When it's done, take it out of the oven--and here's where it gets really good--zest a lemon over the broccoli, squeeze the lemon juice over the broccoli, and add 1.5 Tbs more olive oil.

1 head radicchio di Treviso or medium round radicchio
1 tablespoon olive oil
vegetable oil for frying
4 kale leaves, tough ribs discarded, washed and patted completely dry

Preparation
Cut radicchio into quarters through root end, cutting away any tough core but keeping quarters intact. In a skillet heat olive oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté radicchio, turning it occasionally, 5 minutes, or until tender. Season radicchio with salt and pepper and keep warm, covered.

3 tablespoons lemon (or fresh lime) juice
1 lemon wedge
A little each thyme and basil
Several sprigs of parsley
1 teaspoon salt
Several peppercorns
3 celery stalks with leaves
Aspic
3 tablespoons chicken broth
Gelatin, as required
3 tablespoons lemon juice
How to cook Portuguese Hake in Aspic (Pescada en Gelia):

Cut the pieces of hake into steaks about 1 inch (2 1/2 cm) thick, not more.

Take a wide earthenware or other cooking vessel, large enough to accommodate the pieces of fish side by side.

Into it put 2 1/2 pints (1 1/2 liter) water and the ingredients for the Court-bouillon.

Bring this to the boil and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

Slide in the pieces of the hake, bring back to the boil and continue simmering until the fish is cooked (10 minutes or less).

Remove the hake, rid it of skin and bone and divide it into bite-size pieces. Strain the stock. This should yield nearly 1 3/4 pints (1 liter).

Add the chicken broth and the gelatin (following the directions on the packet as regards quantity and method). Add also the capers and the lemon juice.
Arrange the pieces of hake in an attractive and shallow dish so that they almost fill it. Pour the stock gently over the fish, which it should just cover, filling the dish almost to the brim.

A little chopped parsley or some thin slices of cucumber with scalloped edges can be placed on top as decoration.

Put the dish in the refrigerator to set. This will probably take 4 hours, but allow 6 or 8 to be sure.

Bring the Hake in Aspic to table in its dish and serve separately a Cucumber Sauce.

Cucumber Sauce Ingredients:

1 large cucumber
1/2 pint (1/4 liter) double cream
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives

How to cook Cucumber Sauce:
Pare the cucumber and cut it into fine slices or thin strips.
Drain these well and pat them dry with a towel.
Beat the cream until it is stiff. Add the lemon juice to it gradually, then the onions and chives (with salt if needed), stirring throughout.
Combine all this with the cucumber and chill it slightly before serving.

Ingredients:

1 pound crab meat, combination of lump and claw
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot or onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons finely chopped dill
1 teaspoon lemon zest (grated off the outside of a lemon)
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/3 cup olive oil

Directions:

Bundle the crab in a thin dishtowel and give it a few hard squeezes to release moisture. You’ll probably be able to get a couple tablespoons of liquid to drip out.

Whisk the egg yolks. Add the shallot, celery, dill, lemon zest, hot sauce and paprika. Gently mix this into the crab. The mixture is not going to look like it will hold together, but don’t worry.

To form the crab cakes all you need is a round cookie cutter about 2 inches wide. Using a tablespoon measurement, scoop 2 generous tablespoons of crab into the cookie cutter.

Press the crab down very firmly with your fingers. Gently lift the cookie cutter.

Using this method, you should be able to make at least a dozen crab cakes. Cover the cakes and refrigerate for one hour or more. This helps the ingredients bind together.

Preheat your oven to 375. On the stovetop, heat the olive oil in a pan. When the oil starts to sizzle, use a spatula to slide the crab cakes into the pan. Cook about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned and crispy. Don’t put too many in the pan at once.

Use a spatula to scoop the cakes out the pan and onto a cookie sheet. Put in the oven for another six minutes to make sure they are warmed through the middle. Garnish with dill.

The most important steps in this recipe are using the cookie cutter to shape the crab cakes and refrigerating them for at least an hour before cooking. Other than that, let your regional tastes take over. Add red pepper if you like or mustard. Play around with the seasonings. But forget all about the breadcrumbs. You won’t even miss them.

This is NOT IP compliant, but it is lower in carbs/sugars/fat than standard stuffings.

Ingredients:
• 1 loaf low carb bread, crumbled or cut into cubes
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 6-7 cups chopped celery - about 2 small bunches
• 1 green Bell pepper, chopped
• 1 zucchini, chopped
• 1 bunch parsley, chopped (about 2 cups)
• 4 teaspoons poultry seasoning, such as Bells
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• Salt - start with 1/2 teaspoon, or 1 T chicken or turkey soup base (see below)
• 1 cup water or broth, plus more according to moisture needed
• 1 egg
• 1 T cooking oil
Preparation:
1) 1 - 1½ lb loaf of low-carb bread if you have access to it. Different types of bread will bring different results, so you may have to adjust the amount of liquid, seasonings, etc.
2) Sauté' onion, celery, zucchini and pepper until soft. Add parsley and cook for a minute or so, until wilted. Add seasonings.
3) Mix together the vegetables and the bread. Add a cup of broth or water, egg, stir, and taste. Adjust seasoning and moisture. If you're going to stuff poultry with it, leave it on the dry side because it will absorb a lot of juices during cooking. Mix well and bake at 350 F. for about half an hour, or until browned on top.

This is a modified version of Emeril's bourbon sweet potatoes, modified to be lower in carbs, lower in sugar, higher in fiber.

Bourbon Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients
• 1 3/4 to 2 pounds sweet potatoes
• ½ can Pumpkin pie filling
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Stuffing is going to be my enemy....so if I have an alternative....

Low Carb Stuffing

PREHEAT OVEN TO 350.

1 head cauliflower
6 links of frozen sausage
One can of mushrooms (small)
Chopped onion
Chopped celery
1 tablespoon (or more) garlic (I use the jarred kind)
Fresh cilantro if you have it (I actually buy this frozen in a bottle and use that)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Take one head of cauliflower and chop it up pretty fine (I actually used the high slicing blade in the Cusinart -- there were a few larger slices, but it worked fine. Of course, you can use a knife. My husband tells me my chopping skills are nonexistant so I rely on the machine. Oh well, I can type.) Steam it for 5 minutes or so to get it a little soft. (I used a double boiler.) You will cook it some more later.

Nuke about six links of sausage so they are unfrozen.

Meanwhile, in the Cusinart, chop up one small onion using the lower blade. (Leave the onion and other ingredients that you add in the Cuisinart. This makes it easier.)
Add two long stalks of celery
Add one can of mushrooms
Add one small carrot (for color -- unless your kids hate carrots, then omit)
Add the garlic)
Add the cilantro
Add the defrosted sausage

Saute the Cusinart mixture for 5 minutes in 2 tablespoons butter in a large pan, and then add the cauliflower.

Next mix:

2 Eggs that have been mixed with a fork
8 oz. cheese in a small bowl

Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the large saute pan, stir, and then take the whole mixture and put it into a large casserole dish. Cook it for 15 minutes at 350 or until it is bubbling.

Eat!
