Low Carb Archive - Menus Aug 1st

This is the planned day...I will check in tonite and let you know if I made it.

B Bacon and Eggs

S Smoothie


L Salad of some kind. probably chicken salad.


D Bluebird (chick with blue and cream cheese), cauliflower and cheese fauxtatoes, green beans..

I'm pretty new to low carb -- 4 days new. What do you use in your smoothie? How do you make bluebird? What about cauliflower and cheese fauxtatoes? These all sound great!

Thanks!

Welcome Angie :wave:

I'm not sure but I think the fauxtatoes is when you cook cauliflower till it's very soft, mash it up and mix in butter , cheese and spices. It tastes alot like mashed potatos.

Welcome Angiepangy check out the recipe section there are some wonderful things!!

I stuck with my menu, except I had fried chicken, batter/skin peeled off and green beans for lunch.

Sue, if I ate as much eggs, broccoli and cauliflower as you, I'd be left to sleep on the porch!:eek:

Hi Angie! Sil was right about the fauxtatoes. I boil cauliflower with a little vinegar (cuts that strong taste) until it is soft. Drain it and mash a bit in the colander to squeeze out the water. Put in a bowl and mash to the consistency of your choice ( I usually leave mine rice-like these days) and add you choice of cheddar cheese, butter, salt and pepper, bacon, sour cream, anything you would add to fancy mashed potatoes. It is really good! I don't have the recipe for bluebird handy, but you pound the chicken out flat. Mix to taste cream cheese (about 1 ounce per breast) with a bit of blue cheese (about a spoonful per breast) and spread the mixture on the chicken. Roll the breasts up and secure with toothpicks. Salt the chicken roll-ups and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes or until done. Tonite my husband made it and he put crumbled bacon in the cheese mixture. Wow, that was good!
