I adapted this from a recipe I found online at Wholesome YUM (https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/broc
coli-cheese-soup-low-carb-gluten-free/ ). I like a bit more flavor in my soups, so I added ground mustard, white pepper, and salt. If you, like me, need a good portion of protein with every meal, you'll like this recipe. I serve it with 3 oz of Tyson or Johnsonville's ready grilled chicken strips (1/2 a bag, not included in calculations). Just heat the chicken in the bowl and add 1 cup of soup on top. This is a great winter treat of a meal and I like to make one big pot and have it each day for lunch for a week.
My son and I just tried guava for the first time and loved it! It tastes a bit like a spicy apple. This smoothie is my way of sharing our new favorite fruit with my son as an afternoon snack. You can use any protein powder you want, or skip it if you don't need the protein.
I adapted this recipe from Tova's Carbquik recipe page at http://www.tovaindustries.com/carbalose/re
cipe2.php?c=99 . Their recipe calls to make eight scones, but I felt those were too big. i make them into about 10, but you can make them smaller if you want fewer calories per scone. One thing I absolutely love about these is that they are high in fiber!
Shakshuka is an Israeli dish often eaten for brunch or breakfast. It is typically meatless with more vegetables, but I have added mild Italian chicken sausage for extra protein. It's easy and delicious! All you need is a good 12-in cast iron or otherwise oven-safe skillet.
This is one of the easiest recipes I have that always makes my husband happy. I use my own coffee rub, which you can find here: https://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-det
ail.asp?recipe=3148450 .
This rub is great for steaks, pork chops, chicken or other meats. It makes a big jar of it. I use about 1/6th of it for four steaks.
I extrapolated this recipe from Destination Delish's recipe for Paleo peach cobbler. http://www.destinationdelish.com/slow-cook

I was looking for something more interesting than my regular boring chocolate shake. So tonight I found a recipe from wellplated.com that looked good. I changed a few things up--replaced the Greek yogurt with ricotta cheese ('cause I didn't have yogurt). Enjoy!
This crust is perfect for those on a high-protein, low-carb diet.
A quick and easy casserole with just three ingredients! It reheats really well, too. I like to divide and wrap each portion separately so I can grab it and take it to work.
I adapted this from a paleo recipe online. It's most definitely NOT paleo now! This is adapted to fit into my diabetic husband's diet.
This is a slight makeover of Giada's crab salad recipe on FoodNetwork. I remade it for a smaller portion since I'm not serving at a party and using more affordable crab meat.
This low-carb recipe came about due to a quick five-minute spot I saw on television yesterday. Iron Chef Mike Symon was talking to one of the Chopped judges (Amanda) did a quick and dirty beef stew with the wine and beer. I took that and made it into something my men would enjoy. I hope you enjoy it, too. I replaced the potatoes with carrots to lower the glycemic load for a lower-carb dish.
A crunchy and bright slaw to lighten up those cook-out meals. Great on barbecue sandwiches, too!
Three ingredients in the slow cooker. This quick and easy dish goes great over whole grain rice with a salad on the side.
This is super quick to make, even from frozen! If your sausage is frozen (like mine) thaw it mostly in the microwave. Veggies can be thrown in the pan frozen.
I wrote this up so I would have a record of my slow-cooker pot roast that is low-carb-no sugar added.
This shrimp scampi is delish and easy to make. The perfect light dinner after a long day. Serve over brown rice in later phases.
I made this to go with our cookout for Memorial Day. It takes almost no time, except for the marinading.
A Mexican delight for those who like a spicy breakfast to kick-start their day.
This was an experiment I tried for New Year's and it was great. Lemony and light, and also satisfying.
This is a perfect summer-time treat! Eat your fruits and dairy while satisfying that sweet tooth. Perfect for picnics!
This three bean salad is delicious and allowed on phase 1 of the Fat Smash diet. Easy to make!
This slow-cooked chicken is easy, delicious and versatile. Leftovers are great for a fetticcini alfredo or salad the next day.
This is a fun and healthy way to have your favorite Mexican food. Kids love it, too!
Bay scallops are excellent in a cream sauce. This recipe is adapted from an exboyfriend who really had a way with scallops.
This is my favorite way to make steak. The mustard sauce takes no time to put together and it's delicious.
This delicious recipe is easy and a perfect way to use fresh apples with dinner.
This South Beach-friendly vegetarian chili has won awards and is easy to make.
