Calling all carbless recipes. I'm trying to cut back on my carbs and looking for some carbless/low carb dishes!
Foodnetwork.com...go to a show called "Low Carb and Lovin It".
I'll get you a couple of recipes..brb
***Low Carb Meatloaf***
Tomato Topping:
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
1/4 cup sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
2 teaspoons white vinegar or water
2 pounds ground chuck (may use meat loaf mix with ground pork)
2 eggs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup red onion, diced small
1/4 cup roasted or fresh red bell peppers, diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 pound prosciutto, or any type of ham, thinly sliced
1/4 pound provolone cheese, sliced
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a small bowl, mix together the tomato topping ingredients. Set aside. You may add a few drops of water to thin to a ketchup consistency.
In a large bowl, mix together the beef, eggs, Parmesan, vegetables, herbs, and seasonings.
Working on a waxed paper lined sheet pan or counter, form meatloaf mix into a 10 by 8-inch flat rectangle on the waxed paper. Place a layer of prosciutto slices on top, followed by a layer of provolone slices. Roll up the stuffed meatloaf mix like a burrito and seal the edges all around by pinching the meat.
Place the roll, seam side down, into a 5 by 9-inch loaf pan. Spread a heavy coat of the tomato topping to completely cover the top of the meatloaf. Place in oven and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the temperature on a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees F. Drain fat and let rest at least 10 minutes before slicing.
****Mock Garlic Mashed Potatoes****
1 medium head cauliflower
1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon straight chicken base or bullion (may substitute 1/2 teaspoon salt)
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh or dry chives, for garnish
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Set a stockpot of water to boil over high heat.
Clean and cut cauliflower into small pieces. Cook in boiling water for about 6 minutes, or until well done. Drain well; do not let cool and pat cooked cauliflower very dry between several layers of paper towels.
In a bowl with an immersion blender, or in a food processor, puree the hot cauliflower with the cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, chicken base, and pepper until almost smooth.
Garnish with chives, and serve hot with pats of butter.
Hint: Try roasting the garlic and adding a little fresh rosemary for a whole new taste.

1 1/2 tbs. of olive oil
2 cloves of garlic cubed
1 fresh lemon squeezed
basil
red pepper
black pepper
salt
parsley
Let the shrimp marinade for 1/2 hour in the refrigerator and then put on a george forman grill...they only need to cook for about 5 mins.
before i answer this - a warning: be careful! cutting out the good carbs is very bad for you, i learned that the hard way :P
i personally like pasta without the noodles....so bascally a stirfry with the meat and veggies you want, and pasta sauce and parasean cheese. You can even grate veggies (such as squash) to be like the base or noodle.
its amazing how many dishes you can make with a pan, diced meat and veggies and your choice of sauce (can use canned soup as well, very tastey)....you can also turn these into casseroles by baking them.
and every type of salad or egg dish are great.
jsut avoid anything white (sugar, pasta, potatoes, white bread) but dont cut out the grain...good luck!

Roasted Herbed Mediterranean veg with roast garlic cloves mixed with rocket leaves , serve with a red wine and balsamic reduction mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
To make the reduction use a glass of good red wine and a cup of caster sugar . bring to the boil and then simmer until slightly thickens add a good splash of Balsamic vinegar and reduce for a few more minutes . Leave to cool and it becomes sticky . you can then drizzle it over your dish and enjoy . ( I know its got shed loads of sugar in but you really only need a small amount to dress your dish , its also great for lots of other dishes and keeps well in the fridge for a good few days etc)

This is a menu service that provides weekly menus and accompanying shopping lists. They have a low-carb menu mailer.
The menus and shopping lists are paid for on line and come to you via a link in your e-mail to a PDF file. You can save them to your computer, or access them any time, even after your subscription is over.
A one-year subscription is (well, was - a year or two ago) about $30, there is a three month trial version available for about $10, and there are sample menus available on the website that are free. they have a number of different types of menu-mailers, including regular, thrifty, kosher, vegetarian, crock-pot and probably a few others. I don't really recommend the thrifty one - the sample menu didn't appeal to me. I ended up with a large pot of soup nobody in my family could stand.
I did the low-carb one for a year. I liked the food a lot, but my family wasn't too keen on it, so we are doing our own this year. It really, really made my life much easier, and simplified menu planning and dinner prep for me when I used it, though.
