Birthday Suggestions

So Monday is my birthday and we always have a little office party to celebrate, but this year my boss is confused as to what foods to have. I am only on rung 1 so I have gave veggies, chicken wings, and jello (homemade) & heavy whip cream. Ofcourse the other staff isnt to thrilled. Any one have any ideas?

If you already passed the two weeks of induction you might try some dessert... Atkins style of course would be nice to share with your partners this lifestyle eating...

I think you'll be able to have Dom's cheesecake. It uses cream cheese, sour cream, and heavy cream, all in legal amounts.

For snacks, you can have jalapeno poppers, chicken wings, veggies and dip, a cheese and meat platter (with crackers for non-Atkineers), and all sorts of delicious things! Here's a great recipe for jalapeno poppers:

Re: Birthday Suggestions

for the jalepeno poppers...try this mixture in them sometime...way better than plain cream cheese...also you can stuff it in mushrooms and bake or grill..yummm..

8 oz cream cheese
1/4 c. mayo
1/2 c. cheddar cheese
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp or a little more garlic (i use granulated)
a little salt and pepper
for a little zest try a few red pepper flakes.
mix and stuff. fry, bake or grill the peppers or mushrooms...yummy!

for main dish...meatloaf! (w/o crackers/oatmeal/bread crumbs) I use parmeasean cheese, 1/2 ground beef 1/2 sausage.

for my friends b-day, we made her a meatloaf cake, baked it in a bundt cake pan, turned it out, and for the *frosting*, melted swiss cheese! Awesome! She loved it! Candles lit and all!

Well done on staying strong and sticking to your guns . Sooner or later your family will realise your dedication is not going to waiver and they will be less insistant you eat "off plan" . I am still trying to get it through to my darling mum that " a little bit wont hurt you" is very detrimental to Atkins! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BY THE WAY!

Good job!! It's hard to stand our ground when well meaning family and friends just want us to "enjoy" something because they are. But the more we do it, the better we get at it.
