Place a large nonstick skillit over medium-high heat. When hot, add the olive oil, then the mushrooms and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, untill the mushrooms are tender and excess moisture is evaporated, 6 to 8 minutes.

Add Worcestershire and pepper and cook until any additional moisture is evaporated and the mushrooms are lightly browned, 7 to 9 minutes. Season with salt and serve.

Healthy, low carb, low cal. low fat recipe.

Prepare this fast, easy, delicious recipe in the crockpot.
Directions for stovetop or oven casserole are also given, as well as info on low sodium alterations and a delayed crockpot start.

It's even faster (10 mintes to prep) and easier (just dump all ingredients into crockpot) if you brown quantities of hamburger in advance (4 pounds fits nicely in my large skillet), then degrease and season it with beef soup base and dried onions. Freeze it in 1 to 1.5 # ready-to-use Zip Loc freezer bags; be sure to note the weight on each bag, for calculating nutrition.

Based on a recipe from a superb low carb cook, I've "Texanized" the original. Have it plain OR garnish with your choice of salsa, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), chopped pickled/fresh jalapeños, chopped tomatoes, sliced/chopped avocados. The almond flour is really optional, but included in the nutritional statistics. The ricotta cheese blends in so well, you won't know it's there -- but adds some wonderful protein to the stats.

I love broccoli crunch salad, but have loathed the 400 calories per cup of some of my favorites. I've tried multiple times unsuccessfully to create a healthier version that still tastes like my favorite and that helps me enjoy eating these cruciferous powerhouses without the payback. I think I have finally got it.

Kudos to LIBRARYCAT for the initial recipe I found on Sparkrecipes that led me in the right direction. I still wanted something with less calories and sugars. . .and a bigger portion.

Have fun!

Submitted by INDEJAM09

A fantastic cheesecake, rich and creamy, altered for use in Atkins and other low-carb diets.

(The original is the same but with 2 cups sugar in place of the sweetener and with a standard graham cracker crust.)

When made in a 10-inch springform pan and cut into 16 servings, this delicious cheesecake has only 4.4 net carbs per serving.

I am counting net carbs as:

Total carbs - fiber.

Truvia counts for zero carbs because it is made with non-glycemic stevia and erythritol.

Each Splenda packet is one carb. So is each Equal packet.

Together they add 16 carbs to the entire cheesecake so that comes out to 1 carb per slice.

(This exactly cancels out the fiber which was subtracted so the Nutritional Value's carb count to the right is an accurate net carb count when you add back the other sweeteners.)

-------------

If you make it without the crust (omitting all the nuts), the total carbs drop to 3.6 per slice.

Makes an interesting dessert.

This recipe is delicious and easy!

I threw this together from what I had in my pantry at the time. With proper planning, I'd use fat-free soup and sour cream. It is delicious as-is, but fat could certainly stand to be cut.

You can put the chicken into the slow cooker while still frozen, so prep time is virtually non-existent! A great choice to throw in before bed for lunch at work or in the morning for that night's dinner.

This recipe calls for two pounds of chicken, also because it was what I had available (three large breasts), but would make a great meal with just one pound, too.

I served this along with brown rice and black beans. Tasty!
