I ate leftover lowcarb pizza that I froze and a small part of my salad with disgusting walden farms sugar free ranch-i let the dogs finish my salad it was that bad!

Ladynredd that spanish rice sounds delish. I actually made cauliflower rice last night and served it topped with balsamic/tomato sauce crock pot roast (wasn't too fond of that sauce)

Sandyfanny-those chicken tenders sound great

Tiff, I only used half the head of cauliflower to make the Spanish Rice. Tonight the rest of it is going into a ... wait for it ... pizza crust! I sure hope it turns out well cuz I am VERY fond of pizza.

I started Atkins a week ago and have lost 9.8 lbs. so far. I know the weight loss won't continue at that rate but WOW it sure feels good! :carrot:

Pecan-Crusted Chicken Tenders are DELICIOUS and so quick. Just put them on a foil-lined, non-stick sprayed baking sheet, top with 2T. melted butter, and bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes, turn them and bake 5 more minutes. All done! I'm going back to the store for more of these; I don't see any reason I couldn't freeze some.

Ladynredd-let me know how that pizza crust comes out. The crust that I made was pretty good-made with mozzarella cheese, eggs, and seasoning.
And congrats on that big first week loss, I know it feels wonderful!!

Edit: I used my leftover uncooked riced cauliflower to make stir fry, it was yummy!

Tiff -- the pizza crust was DELICIOUS! I incorporated some of the suggestions people left -- I started with fresh cauliflower, grated it, added a teensy bit of water and nuked it for about 8 minutes. I dumped that into a strainer and while it was draining & cooling I beat two egg whites really well and approx. 1/4 C. parmesan cheese. When the cauliflower was cool I used my hands to squeeze out as much liquid as I could, then dumped it in a clean dish towel and wrung out even more liquid, then added it to the egg whites along with mozzarella cheese. Spread this out on a piece of parchment paper I had sprayed with Pam, patted it out very thin, and put just a little fennel and Italian seasoning on top. From there on I pretty much followed the directions. I did use the trick of placing another piece of parchment paper on top at the end of 15 minutes and using that to flip it over and baking the "under" side for another 10 minutes. Topped it with 2 or 3 tbsp. of Italian sauce, lots of mild Italian sausage, more cheese and a light sprinkle of sliced olives.

Sandy, I would love to try the pecan chicken tenders but no store around here carries them. :( I am envisioning pecans ground to about the texture of corn meal and since I don't have a food processor I don't think I can chop them that fine. Maybe it's time for me to start looking for a small food processor ... I don't have a lot of room in my kitchen for "gadgets."

Ladynred, there's no room for gadgets in my kitchen either, so I have a mini-Cuisinart food processor. It's earned its space; I've used it for almost twenty years!

Steak Kabobs...
 

Tonight it's steak kabobs - steak, cherry tomatoes, chunks of Vidalia onion on the grill, asparagus sauteed in a little olive oil, spinach salad with English cucumber (love them), red bell pepper, and bleu cheese dressing.

I found Black Angus fancy steak kabobs in the "quick sale" section of my grocery. Yum! (I check that section every time I go to the store.)

Ladynredd-that method of making the crust sounds wonderful, thanks for taking the time to explain your tweaks :)I think that you should definitely get a mini food processor - they can make your life so much easier!

Sandyfanny-those kabobs sound yummy! I do love the "quick sale "deals as well.

Tonight's dinner: leftover cauliflower fried "rice", and later I will have a salad for a snack with a deviled egg.
Took my son swimming today and had a blast, worked up an appetite too lol

I'm going to make some cauliflower fried rice...of course, I love fried rice. If this is close, I'll be all about it. Maybe tomorrow since I also have some of the cooked kabobs left...steak fried rice? Sounds good.

It was good, used the recipe off of genaw. I am thinking if I had a wok it would of had a more "fried" consistency. I used coconut oil to "fry" it with.

Steak Salad...
 

Yummy salad!

My dinner will be tilapia with cooked in butter with some seasonings and a salad

Good idea, fish! I live on the coast; I'm going to get myself to the seafood market and buy some flounder and shrimp. I LOVE crab, but it's really pricey.

Dinner at the German Restaurant...
