Atkins Induction-Friendly Favorites

A collection of tried and true low carb faves and some recipes I created or tweaked, plus a few from other Sparks folks that sound good. All should be very "legal" on Atkins induction with the caveat that some need minor substitutions to be truly low carb, but it's only ever one obvious ingredient.

Cookbook creator says: Variation - Pan Seared - I make in a high end nonstick pan & use FROZEN steaks - really sears the fish to a beautiful brown without overcooking. Serve it sliced & fanned out on round serving platter - decorate w/sliced lemon, fresh herbs, steamed asparagus stalks, etc. Fantastic dish, super quick!

Cookbook creator says: Nix breadcrumbs for induction. I use flax, but some people without dairy issues use parmesan. Avoiding carrots on induction? Sub with celery, spinach, string beans, etc. Portion size is unrealistic - 12 servings from a 2-lb. meatloaf? Adjust your counts according to what you ACTUALLY eat. :-)

Low Carb Cranberry Muffins
Very Good 4.4/5

Cookbook creator says: I do both flax & cranberry on induction - no problems staying in ketosis & losing, but know your own body. To reduce the sour precook fresh cranberries in a covered microwave dish just until tender, then coat them with sweetener. To make cranberry orange muffins, add a tbsp. of fresh orange zest.

Zuccini Gratin
Very Good 4.8/5

Cookbook creator says: This also makes a great frittata or quiche - simply add 6 beaten eggs, double the cheese (put on top of everything) and cook at 350 for 45 mins. to an hour. You can use a pie plate or round pyrex, but I always line mine with parchment paper for easy cleanup and transfer to storage.

Cookbook creator says: Any kind of white fish fillet will work for this recipe, but be careful it's the same thin cut as tilapia! A thicker fish will be raw in the middle when the spice rub is blackened, or by the time the fish is cooked, the blackened coating will be burnt.

This was very good and much easier than stuffing the cheese into the chiles, but with pretty much the same flavor of the traditional method. If you don't care for hot food, you could use plain Monterey jack cheese instead of the pepper-jack. For myself I added more pepper.

These low carb Pancakes are soooo good. They have a nutty flavor and are very satisfying. They are also SBD phase 1 friendly. (Flaxseed counts as daily nut allowence)

Try rolling up turkey sausages with the pancakes and drizzle with sugarfree syrup.

Take a table spoon or two of lowfat creamcheese and mix with splenda and vanilla and warm in microwave for a "frosting" to spread on top

Cookbook creator says: I add a bit of flax to the parmesan - helps it to create a better "batter" and sticks fairly well. Parmesan alone tends to fall off. Flax adds fat and cals but no carbs, as it's all fiber carbs. I did this with artichoke hearts and it was pretty incredible, fyi.

This incredibly easy recipe (not mine, it's from a low carb board but I have slightly tweaked it) makes a roll that is easy to slice, toast, and use for sandwiches, burgers, grilled cheese, etc. It's not really suitable for eating on its own; if you want something that is delicious without anything else, try my Herbed Parmesan variation!

This is not my original recipe - although I have made it my own with the addition of parmesan & seasoning. It's floating around on various low carb boards, and is ABSOLUTELY delicious, fast, and healthy. Toasts well, makes great sandwiches. It's fluffy and really wholegrain tasting. You will never believe there is NO grain in it!
