I love these particular meals because they are fast and easy
but they have big flavor and make me feel pampered. Atkins is
known as a meat eaters diet, but we should be known for eating
lots of fish and veggies!
Scallops and Shrooms
Cook Scallops on top of the stove
with bacon, a dash of lemon, and any kind of dry or wet garlic
Serve over 1 cup mushrooms boiled until tender
in water and a pat of butter
(Measure your mushrooms before cooking)
Crab Quiche
1 cup crab meat
1/4 cup of swiss cheese
3 eggs
1/4 cup of cream
seasonings of choice - i like a little pepper,
a little italian seasoning, and a shake of powdered garlic
you could also add some cooked veggies to this quiche if you like but I prefer nothing to distract my tongue from the crab
spray baking dish, i prefer glass, with carb free cooking spray
layer crab on the bottom of the dish
seperate eggs - whip egg whites and put aside
beat yolks and cream and seasonings together until smooth
fold in whites
pour entire mixture over crab
sprinkle swiss cheese over egg mixture
bake for approximately 20 minutes - until fluffy
(ovens vary)
Makes 4 servings - make sure to count the cheese and cream per slice in your daily totals
Salmon with Rice
Lay fresh salmon on tin foil
Squeeze lemon on top of the fish
Sprinkle Rosemary on top of the fish
Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to allow the fish to absorb the flavors
Then bake for 12 - 15 minutes - depends on size, oven
Eat with a cup of faux califlower rice
YUM!

Steam 1 head calliflower.
Drain water from pot and re-add tender calliflower
Add 3 Tbl heavy cream
3 Tbl butter
1 C shredded chedder/jack cheese
I then use my beater to blend together and chop calliflower until it looks like cooked rice. (food processor or blender would work too)
Season with salt and pepper and heat on stove until hot.
This dish has been the most satisfying as it has the texture of lumpy mashed potatoes and gives you that same full feeling.
Make sure you limit yourself to the daily allowed 1 cup.

5. Taco salad
6. Roast chicken or turkey with faux mashed potatoes OR with faux mashed sweet potatoes (pumpkin puree with butter and cream) OR roasted curried cauliflower
7. Cheese Burger with mayo and low carb ketchup and a side of turnip fries
whip whites of eggs & set aside. in another bowl, add cooked meat, cheeses, and egg yolks. blend really well, then slowly add in whites. Poor mixture in a greased muffin pan. Bake 375 for 20 mins. Makes about 9 muffins.
I love this because you can customize it how you want. The original recipe called for bacon. I like it with sausage and mushrooms. The last time I made it I had sausage, mushrooms, and red bell peppers.
You can also add more eggs or more cheese to make more muffins
I also just made this this morning and it was uber tasty. I'm not to sure of the measurements cuz I just threw everything together, but this is about right:
2-3 oz of sausage.. give or take...cooked.
3-4 mushroom caps, chopped up & stemless
1 oz cream cheese
2-3 eggs depending on how hungry you are
after cooking sausage, drain grease. add mushrooms and cream cheese and cook till cheese is melted and everything is coated. then add eggs and scramble.
Next time I make these I'm going to add some red bell peppers before adding the eggs... I've been on a red bell pepper kick, what can i say?
