Last night I made zucchini, onion and tomato in butter with a bit of garlic.

This morning I warmed up the left over (in more butter) and added three eggs. It was delicious!

I tried these last night for dinner. They were quite good.

I got this from some website (can't quite remember where). Anyway, I had a crepe in France with ham and gruyere cheese once and it was fabulous. I've been reading a book which references all kinds of french food and got me hankering for the crepes. So here goes...

Low Carb Ham & Cheese Crepes
Ingredients:
1/4 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
2 large eggs

Directions:
Whisk ricotta and eggs very well. Heat butter in a nonstick pan. Add 2 T of mixture in small frying pan and tilt till it covers whole surface. Only leave on for a few minutes ....until you can flip with a rubber spatula. Cook on other side for maybe a minute. Add a thin slice of ham and cheese, fold and warm on both sides.

Very primal I think....if you do dairy that is. My son ate them with honey.

a

Fresh Peach Salsa

2 peaches
2 slices of onion
balsamic vinegar
lime juice
a pinch of salt

I made this egg drop soup today and it was really good DH liked it a lot too... I had a couple of missing ingredients such as chicken broth, I just used water. I also didn't have any sesame seed oil so I ground up some sesame seeds and added it to the soup... It was delish

Ilene - that looks yummy! Did you use corn starch? I wonder if that's carby?

I used corn starch and it has about 2g per 1 tbsp, there are 3 tbsps in the whole pot of soup....

Another good recipe Homemade Mayonnaise

OK, I have a personal challenge today.

I work at an elementary school with an on-site cook (who weighs over 350). She is a fabulous cook, but I have been eating her lunches only very selectively because they are often high starch high fat. Today she is making turkey gravy over rice with homemade dinner rolls and butter. Absolutely a favorite of mine, but I haven't had it in a long time.

My significant other is doing some volunteer work on campus today and is planning to order lunch. I have decided to eat lunch from home because I have some excellent leftover roast pork I can eat with a salad.

I've gotten back to low carb eating after the holidays and I don't want to waste a day off on school lunch. I'd rather save it for a dinner with friends some time.

OK, I think writing this has helped me find the resolve I will need!

Another nice recipe :

Italian Sausage seasoning
o 1 teaspoon black pepper,
o 2 teaspoons dried parsley,
o 1 1/2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning,
o 1 teaspoon garlic powder ( you can use 2 tablespoons fresh garlic in place of the powder),
o 3/4 teaspoon crushed anise seeds ( can use crushed dried fennel seeds),
o 1/2 teaspoon paprika,
o 1 teaspoon minced dried onions (you can sub 1 small chopped onion for the dried),
o 2 teaspoons salt.
o Optional: 1/8 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes ( can use more if desired)
Knead into 2 lbs of ground pork, make patties and fry.

From my friend who is celiac.

Caesar Dressing: Make homemade mayonnaise with four fresh egg yolks and two tablespoons of either apple cider vinegar or fresh squeezed lemon in a food processor. Process and drizzle about a cup or more extra light olive oil. Stop when you see it gets nice and thick. I never pre-measure. Add salt and a tablespoon of dijon mustard. That's your mayonnaise. Caesar Dressing next.

Add fresh garlic (to taste - we like LOTS), parmesan cheese, pepper and spices that you like. You can add anchovies if you like them. Add a little water so it becomes runny like a dressing instead of thick like mayonnaise. Delish!

Brownies

But yesterday I used maple syrup and used a 1/3 of what they were asking for (1/4 if you half the recipe or 3/4 or you follow the recipe as is) and they were just as delicious.

Yes it uses natural sugar, but it is loaded with protein and healthy fat.
