Chicken Alfredo, it's heaven and I still love to eat it beyond induction.

Re: Favorite Dish For Induction

My favs:

Fresh Salmon with homemade tarter sauce (mayo, finely chopped onion, dried dill weed) - I bake the salmon with dots of butter on it, a little salt and pepper, then top it with the tarter sauce.

Mock Pizza - use ground sausage for the "crust" by spreading it in the bottom of a pie pan. Bake at 350° until browned, drain off all of the fat, then top with pizza sauce (just a small amount, watch the carbs!), pepperoni, mushrooms, and if you like you can add some finely diced onion and/or green pepper. Top with tons of mozzarella cheese and bake for another 30 minutes. Delicious and satisfies any pizza cravings.

Chicken Cordon Bleu - split chicken breasts and stuff with a slice of deli ham and swiss cheese. Close the chicken breast around the stuffing, then dip the whole breast in melted butter, then dip in ground up pork skins, coating well. Place in baking dish and bake for 40 minutes at 375°

Taco Salad - brown a pound of ground chuck and add taco seasonings (make sure you don't get any kind with sugar added...if you can't find any prepackaged seasoning, make your own using chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, garlic salt/powder, onion powder). Add 1/4 water to the mixture and let simmer until the beef has absorbed all of the seasonings. Serve the seasoned beef on top of lettuce, with a tablespoon of your favorite salsa, grated cheese, sliced black olives, and a dollop of sour cream. You can even add some avocado if you like. For an additional treat - take some fresh grated parmesan cheese (not the stuff in the cans!) and mound in little circles in a dry, non-stick, skillet. Allow the cheese to melt and brown lightly. When browned on one side, flip and brown lightly on the other side too. When you take the cheese out, put on paper towels and allow to cool...they taste just like chips and go great with the taco salad.

Mock Mashed Potatoes - I know you said no cauliflower, but you did say you liked potatoes. Try cooking some frozen cauliflower (don't use fresh, works best with frozen) and drain it really, really, well. Mix in some softened cream cheese and a little heavy cream if you need to loosen the mixture. Add butter, salt and pepper...or even some roasted garlic, cheddar cheese, or even some crumbled bacon if you like. You won't miss potatoes with cauliflower made this way. It's worth a try, at least once!

Speaking of the ever versatile cream cheese - try softening a block, adding a little heavy cream until it's the consistency of a creamy soup. Add it to 2 boxes of frozen spinach (thawed, drained and squeezed as dry as possible), a can of artichoke hearts cut into quarters. Mix together lightly and put in a casserole dish. Make a topping of 1/2 cup mayo and 1/2 cup sour cream, spread on the top. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes.

Thanks very much for taking the time to post all that and help out.

Re: Favorite Dish For Induction

biscuit, just a friendly reminder that veggies are a requirement of the plan. There are things in veggies that you just can't get from meat...and lettuce. Maybe buy a veggie at a time and try them...like I tell my son, if you try it and don't like it you, DON"T have to eat it, but at least try.

Also, I've found that now that I'm trying veggies that I haven't had before or swore up and down that I wouldn't eat...I'm finding i like them now. I guess my "taste" senses are changing.

I'll make a bargain with you...I'll try something I've always just absolutely hated before if you will too...mine's pumpkin, or beets. Wanna give it a go???

Re: Favorite Dish For Induction

lol, nice try, and thanks for the encouragement, but I'm not falling for that trick....I'll make due with the couple that I tolerate

Re: Favorite Dish For Induction

But this is a plan for life, Biscuit. Now's the time to lay the groundwork. Heidi usually suggests trying something 3 ways before dismissing it. Do you like cabbage? My mom used to boil it. Boring. I sautee it in butter and olive oil, sprinkle some spices on it and it's just yummy. My dh says he didn't know cabbage could be so good. Sautee it with some ground beef and throw in some tomatoes and shredded cheese and there's dinner! I agree with Validrouge though. Try something new every week. I now have favourite veggies that a year ago I hadn't even heard of!

Re: Favorite Dish For Induction

I like one dish meals. Since I've recently purchased a slow cooker, it's made my one-dish meals alot easier to do.

Pork and Cabbage: toss country style pork ribs or pork chops into the slow cooker with shredded cabbage and a little chopped onion and some caraway seeds.

Chicken: toss chicken pieces, with half a green or red pepper sliced, half a tomato cubed, half an onion chopped, 1 garlic clove chopped, about a 1/2 cup water, salt and pepper to taste all into the slow cooker. Cook.

I also love stir-fries and skillet dinners.

All I'm going to say about the veggies is that the majority of your daily carbs are to come from those veggies. There are 21 veggies listed on the "salad" list and 34 veggies on the "other" list. If you've given all 54 vegetables a fair try and still only find a handful that are edible for you, then by all means, stick to those handful. When you move to On-Going Weight Loss phase, your vegetable selection will increase and you'll be able to find more that suit you. Speaking of the other Atkins phases (OWL, Pre-Maintenance and Maintenance), you should know that the 3 cups of Induction vegetables become your minimum daily vegetable intake. So get used to eating those 3 cups of veggies daily.

Re: Favorite Dish For Induction

Re: Favorite Dish For Induction

Go have a look at Linda Sue's recipe site. The ones with the "*" beside them are induction friendly. I'm especially fond of Italian Casserole, Coney Island Chili Dog Pie, and the Pork Rind Pizza (you don't taste the pork rinds, honest!).

Re: Favorite Dish For Induction

My fav are Feta Turkey Burgers... (I know u don't like spinach -- perhaps u can just omit it) ... but I mix up some crumbled feta cheese, sundried tomatoes, and chopped spinach directly into the ground turkey... then bake or grill. I can eat those ALL DAY. One of my friends cooks hers a little differently -- she uses fresh tomatoes and hamburger meat in her rendition -- and then frys them in a little extra virgin olive oil.

Re: Favorite Dish For Induction

This was a great thread to bump up.

Yummy!

I'm printing off some of these recipes now.

Re: Favorite Dish For Induction

Oooh. Hubby is not a veggie kinda guy so I have to be creative with him. I can slip spinach in a lot of things and he never even notices.


I was craving hot wings a few days ago and I searched restaurant nutrition information online and came back with such varied results so I decided to make my own. I hope they are induciton friendly because YUM YUM!!

I learned a lot from searching restaurant nutrition info. SO many things that you can make at home and be perfectly fine are chock full of carbs if you get them outside the house. What do they do? Do they have a little jar-o-carbs that they dump in before serving?

Re: Favorite Dish For Induction

My favorite induction meal is lobster dipped in butter.

Also, why not try some saurekraut for a vegetable.
