Dinner...

[APanthesilia]

I don't know what to make for dinner tonight. I made meatloaf last night and had onion, mushrooms, and green beans for veggies with it (and potatoes for dbf). Any suggestions for tonight? I'm not bored with the food and I'm not tempted to go off plan, just wanted to get a few ideas from my fellow stacers! Hope all are well today!

Re: Dinner...

Here are some of my favs:

Chicken, mushrooms and onions cooked in Boursin (garlic and herb full fat one) and a dash of cream (takes no effort to cook and is delicious)

Roasted pepper with goats cheese

sausages with mashed cauliflower

Buffalo mozerella, parma ham, one tomato, half an avocado drizzled with extra virgin olive oil

Burger, cheese and mayo on a small salad

Pepper stuffed with cream cheese (or goats cheese) wrapped in bacon

Mushrooms stuffed with cheddar and mayo mix baked in oven then topped with crispy bacon

Crustless quiche

Hope this has given you some ideas. Be strong - you are doing so well xx

Re: Dinner...

Zarabelle, the fist dish you listed sounds SO good! I love boursin! I'm making that tomorrow as soon as I can get the ingredients! The stuffed mushrooms sound great, too! Thanks for the ideas! I'll let you know how they turn out, but I'm sure they will be good!

Re: Dinner...

The chicken and boursin is DELICIOUS! You can just make mushrooms and onions (and courgette) with boursin too which is scrummy. As it is high fat, it really hits the spot too.

I pinched the mushroom recipe from Come dine with me (do you ever watch that?). It just happened to be low carb!
Serves 5

Ingredients

10 portobello mushrooms

500g scottish cheddar cheese

3 heaped tbsp mayonnaise

3 tsp dijon mustard

5 rashers of bacon

1. Preheat oven to 180°c, Gas Mark 4.

2. Wash the mushrooms and grate the cheddar cheese. Mix the cheese with the mayonnaise and mustard in a bowl, then fill the mushrooms with the mixture.

3. Pop them in the oven, at 180°c (Gas Mark 4) for 20 minutes or until the cheese has browned.

4. While the mushrooms are in the oven, cook the bacon until crisp, then take the mushrooms out of oven and crumble bacon on top.

5. Serve with a side salad and dressing.

Haven't tried them yet but they looked delicious and everyone on the program enjoyed them. Am going to make them next week.

Let me know how you get on.

BTW Have you seen 'low-carb meals in minutes'? It's available from Amazon and full of brilliant recipes. For some reason they use low fat stuff but that's easy to change!

Re: Dinner...

I had hot wings for breakfast.... that's always good and easy

I'm making bbq pulled pork for dinner in the crock pot (I found bbq sauce with no carbs yay, I'm still only using a touch)

also made whipped cauliflower with butter, garlic and dill AND I'm so excited, it's the first time I got the consistency right. I used the blender and added a touch of sour cream.

Also made coleslaw to go with it.

Re: Dinner...

If any of you are looking for good barbq sauce, I can't recommend this stuff enough: http://www.smokinjoejones.com/site/1322890/page/903663

Last time I did atkins with the wife we bought a case of it. It's amazingly good.

Thanks, I'll give it a try..... the pulled pork tonight was AWESOME. The BBQ sauce was pretty good but if I can get better I'll be forced to make this meal a regular addition, even the kids loved it and I payed all of about 4 bucks for the meat can't get better than that.
