Helpful Hints to Get Through Easter Dinner Cheat Free
Please add any additional ideas or recipes. I went off this diet during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. It really was counter productive, (think of where I'd be had I not gone off). With a little thinking ahead and some early preparation there is no reason you cannot enjoy the meal with healthy, delicious, lo-carb alternatives. Here are my ideas.
1. Instead of Ham or with ham try a whole chicken or small turkey breast as ham often times is loaded with salt and or sugars that would up the carb consumption.
2. There is a great green bean casserole alternative that is sooo yummy and atkins legal, even during induction. Just be careful as you don't want to go over your cheese allowance for the day. I'll look for the link. IF I can't find it I'll type it up in a post to follow. I make mine using all fresh ingredients.
3. there is this wonderful recipe on here at http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ad.php?t=28708 . I'm going to try to make this ahead of time in 16 equal servings in a muffin pan. I'll let you know how it turns out. You could make this and freeze it and have it at Easter dinner and enjoy it while other people are eating their sugar desserts. The best part is you can eat your whole individual pie and have 15 more in the freezer for those 'cravings'. Again just dont eat more than one a day as you don't want to go over your cheese allowance. Depending on what rung you are on you could put berries on top. I can't wait to try this one!!
Like I said any of you out there who have had experience in keeping clean through the holidays share your Hints. Right now is about the time people are planning their menu's for their dinners.
