I love cabbage...
and I always forget about it. Glad you reminded me. It's going on my shopping list today.
Dinner tonight:
Steak pan-grilled in brown butter, mixed green salad, cucumber, black olives, red onion. Bleu cheese dressing. Yummy!

BBQ pork chops and salad with blue cheese dressing.
Trying to figure out what to make for company on Wednesday. I think bbq chicken, salad and (for them) spiced rice and a blue berry cobbler with ice cream. (I will have blue berries and whipped cream)

Great menus!
These are excellent menus, Frazzeled and Shells! I haven't cooked a pork tenderloin since I've been on Atkins...it's easy to get stuck in an eating rut. This week I'm going to cook one and have cabbage with it. Maybe even sauteed with onion and bacon AND Atkins' coleslaw!
Shells, that's a great company dinner menu. Everyone will love it, and you'll stay on plan. (But, Lord, I love a cobbler!...Get Thee Behind Me, Satan!)

I thought to do Atkins properly, you were supposed to eat the skin. I am new to low carb eating, but I got inspired when I read Primal Blueprint - it's similar in lots of ways to Atkins, but eating the skin (and lots of fat) is a big part of why it works. Anyone have more info on this?

Hamburger cooked in bacon fat atop a salad of romaine, half an avocado, garden tomato, and dressed with sesame tahini/tamari dressing. It was good!
I'm starting two weeks of induction today... never done the VLC before, so wish me luck. I will be coming here for ideas, so keep 'em coming!

Dinner at Chili's
Today was horrendous...my last day of preparation before my students come on Wednesday. It was so exhausting I'm taking the optional teacher work day; this teacher ain't working.
We had to work from noon until 8 - orientation for ninth-graders. Okay. I ate brunch before I left for school at 11:00. Ate a slice of American cheese about 2 and drank 30 oz. water between 12:00 and 4:30.
Then dinner at Chili's with teacher buddies. I ordered the cheeseburger with sauteed mushrooms and jack cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion. Ditched the bun, gave the fries away. Drank another 20 oz. of water with lemon.
My big treat: 1/3 cup of Atkins' recipe ice cream when I got home at 8:45. Woo-hoo! I'm glad I made it last night; it was just what I wanted when I got home. It made watching teacher buddies eat Chili's Carb / Sugar / White Flour atomic bombs no problem. I feel very superior!

Good for you for staying on plan. I fall back at the hospital cafeteria is always a burger (no bun) with bacon and onions, a slice of cheese and mushrooms if available. Good and filling
Tonight it is grilled pork chops and greenbeans

Shells, you're so clever! I do that with asparagus, but I like green beans...I'm going to try them your way. I bet I could take them to school and eat them cold at lunch - that'd be a big plus. Thanks for posting.

Pork Tenderloin Barbecue!
I'm very excited about my dinner tonight:
Pork tenderloin marinated in Scott's barbecue sauce and fresh garlic
Red Cabbage Cole Slaw (Atkin's for Life):
1 head of red cabbage, cored and sliced thinly
Whisk together 3/4 c. mayonnaise, 1/2 c. sour cream, 1 tsp. celery seed, 2 T. cider vinegar, 2 pkgs. Splenda, 1 tsp. salt (if desired). In a large bowl, combine the cabbage and the dressing. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 min. to blend flavors.
This makes A LOT of cole slaw, but it's really yummy. I'll take some to school this week to go with my lunches.
