Sauté an entire green cabbage (sliced like for large coleslaw pieces) in lots of olive oil. Browned it slightly and cooked it until it is thoroughly wilted then added a couple of pieces of sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil. Continue to cook. Turn off the heat and add a splash of sesame oil and about a teaspoon or 2 of balsamic vinegar (2 carbs per 3 teaspoons (1 TB)). Serves 2.
Salmon steaks baked in a sauce made from olive oil and lots of mustard (good mustard, not yellow) with a bit of soy sauce and sherry vinegar. For dessert: squash seeds baked in tin foil in the oven (from when the fish was baking). Take the clean, dry or damp seeds from your winter squash, put them in a bowl. Coat generously with olive oil, add a few drops of soy sauce, and a sprinkle of paprika. Bake in a single layer on tin foil until brown and totally crunchy.
4 scrambled eggs cooked in lots of butter. The secret is to cook them very very slowly on low for 20 mins or so. Remove them from the heat the instant they start to stick to the pan. This produces very rich thick eggs. This technique is only worth it for those of us who like our eggs "undercooked." Don't bother if you like yours "brown." Half piece of whole grain toast (whole slice has 9 grams of carbs).
A HUGE salad with 2 kinds of lettuce, spinach, broccoli, small amounts of avocado and tomato, cucumber, red cabbage, and whatever other low carb veggie you can think of with Italian Dressing. Whole boiled artichokes (one per person). You can dip them in butter. You can pick one of these main dishes: 1) frozen okra, collard greens, and mustard greens, with a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a dash or two of teriyaki sauce. 2) fresh mushrooms and celery sautéed in olive oil. 3) more olive oil, this time used to pan-fry fresh cod pieces.
Sauté sliced mushrooms in olive oil (you can add more veggies if you like) then added a package of Yves Veggie Ground Round (one package has 3 grams of carbs and 72 grams of protein). To this add some organic prepared spaghetti sauce (amount depends on your CCL) and paramecian cheese. Served it over spaghetti squash with shredded cheese (mixture of mozzarella and lappi).
Throw the following in a pot: 1 lb frozen spinach, 1 lb frozen bell pepper strips, about 1.5 lbs of little frozen shrimps. Cook them till almost done then add a few TB of sherry, lower the heat, cover the pot until the alcohol evaporates. Turn off the heat, add curry powder and about 2/3 of a cup of whole milk organic yogurt. Add 2 TB of wheat germ to help thicken it (2 carbs a TB). Serve this in soup bowls.
Snacks usually involve vegan baloney often rolled up with melted cheese and maybe a pickle slice. Or vegan chicken slices, Canadian bacon, or hot dogs. If you carb counts can handle you can make a very thick sandwich with one or two slices of whole grain bread (8 carbs per slice) and lots of baloney, cheese, pickles, some lettuce or sprouts, avocado and enough mayo to ooze all over the plate. You can also use a wasa cracker. You can also grab a handful of nuts here and there to keep your calories up. Almonds, brazil nuts, or filberts/hazelnuts generally. Sometimes blister peanuts (lower carb than most peanuts because made from spanish peanuts) or soy nuts.
Drink tons of plain water and don't touch Artificial Sweeteners. If you crave something sweet, make it with stevia and a touch of organic evaporated cane sugar to cover the bitterness.
