I think the recipe thread is a grand idea sandyfanny .... it is getting to be a bit of a chore looking for the ones I want too!

Sandyfanny, I think your notion of a recipe thread is good. I didn't know that "notion" was a Southern word. What would you think of an Induction-friendly title, so everyone could eat what's posted?

Dinner today:

2 eggs and 1 egg yolk scrambled in beef drippings, 2 T. sliced okra, dipped in egg and then almond meal, and fried in bacon fat and clarified butter. Mmmmm.

Scrumptious and no casein or lactose.

Silver - I love liver but I've given myself food poisoning twice from it (campylobactor or something like that). Chickens in my area have a lot of it. It is safe so long as you cook it through, but I am one that likes my liver pink! Don't worry - it wasn't bad food poisoning and I still eat liver (thats how much I like it!) I just don't cook it myself anymore hehe.

Soaking in milk is quite common here too!

today -

bfast 2 eggs (2), coffee (2)

snack - string cheese (1)

lunch - turkey and cabbage (6)

dinner - 2 cans tuna w mayo and mustard (1) on 2 cups arugula (6)

total - 18

Readyfreddy, thanks for the warning about the liver. Good thing I like it well done.

How did you cook your cabbage for the turkey?

I'm eating it raw w vinegar and turkey - salad style!

Ah, I do that, too, sometimes.

I tried some raw turnip and cream cheese dip today. I liked it.

Thanks for all your suggestions and ideas, everyone.

I don't want to title the section "Induction Friendly Recipes" because I think it implies a greater degree of Atkins expertise and carb-counting and research than I intend to do. I certainly don't want to make a mistake and mislead anyone that I'm some kind of Atkins expert. And Jersey Gyrl will give me a virtual smack (or two) if something we post isn't absolutely Induction perfect. LOL!

Example: I have a recipe adapted from Hungry Girl that is delicious, but uses ricotta cheese and 2 T. sugar-free vanilla pudding mix. Jersey Gyrl correctly called me on the ricotta cheese (for OWL only) and figured out the number of carbs in 2 T. of pudding mix. It's not really for induction, but I've made it and eaten several times and LOVE it...I didn't lose so much either those weeks!

So, I think I'll just pull recipes from our postings at "What's for Dinner" and leave it at that.

I think "get a notion" may be a Southern idiom, but maybe other folks say it too.

I'll start the thread and build it as I have time to pull the recipes out of everyone's postings. If I post anything you've contributed, you'd rather I not post, just let me know and I'll delete it.

Thanks!

Sandyfanny, your recipe plan sounds super. Thanks very much for doing that.

I don't what's going on, but I don't have much appetite at night. Maybe I'm too tired to be hungry, or maybe the Atkins magic has kicked in:

I'm having a small scoop of ham salad: deli baked ham chopped very fine in the food processor, mayonnaise, a little grainy mustard. I used pork rinds to scoop the ham salad.

When I got home from school, I iced the last cup of coffee from this morning, added a packet of Splenda and some heavy cream for a delicious, refreshing treat. Maybe it cut my appetite?

SF, your ham salad and pork rinds sound great. Iced coffee treats are nice, too. Yeah for that keto-effect!

I haven't been feeling well today. I have a nagging headache and absolutely NO energy. This morning I made breakfast burritos for the family but skipped the tortilla and ate only the filling which was ground sausage, eggs, and shredded cheese. However, it's the only thing I've eaten today. I'm not in the mood to cook so tonight's dinner will be a low carb burger from Carl's Jr with no ketchup, only 1 slice of cheese and some jalapenos. I know I haven't eaten enough but it's just one of those days.

Last night I made yummy "stuffed" bell peppers, which was hamburger, canned tomatoes, onion, a little beef broth and seasonings put into boiled bell pepper halves then topped with cheese and baked. They were great and everyone in the house loved them.

Thanks Sandy! I'm feeling better already. I think the culprit might have been dehydration. I don't think I drank enough water yesterday but I drank 67 ounces today and feel MUCH better. By the way, I think the recipe thread is a great idea!

If you want the stuffed bell peppers recipe, I made my own version of the one on the recipe website in the "Atkins Induction Basics" sticky by JersyGyrl: genaw.com/lowcarb/make_me_stuffed_peppers.html

tomorrow-

2 hard boiled eggs (2), coffee (2)

lunch - sausage (1)

snack - sausage (1)

dinner - veggies and miracle pasta (10)

total 16

gym after dinner!

Readyfreddy, what is miracle pasta?

Today's dinner: liver, bacon, and leeks in beef fat
