I had shrimp and "grits" for lunch with some lettuce. The recipe was from Dana Carpenters Low Carb cookbook. The grits were made of cauliflower and lots of cheese.

Dinner will be a prime NY Strip Steak with spaghetti squash and Linda's low carb alfredo sauce. Finish the meal off with low carb tiramisu.

I realized that variety has made a big difference on how long I've been able to stay on this WOE this time around.

I love all the ideas I get from this thread. I am going to make the cheese biscuits soon... As soon as I am legal.
Last night I had pepper steak. It didn't turn out so great as DH is traveling right now and he does most of our cooking. I truly wish I was a better cook. My food is barely edible to me and that is a problem with this way of eating. He will be home tomorrow!!

My food is inedible to me too.....I chalk it up to the fact that after preparing it and cooking it, the aromas "fill" me up. So by the time I sit down to eat it----it tastes like nothing and is unappetizing. However, the people who eat my cooking seem to love it (eventhough I'm not entirely crazy about it.)

Anyhow, it's cold, rainy and miserable outside today: a cold or room temperature salad, ain't gonna cut it today. I'm cooking a big pot of chicken-seafood stew. It's essentially a paella recipe that uses less liquid and no rice.

I can't wait for my lunch today!

It's raining and cold outside today. So I have a thermos filled with tortilla soup, the tortilla chips in a bag, and I have a little fruit salad.

What are you having?

How do you make tortilla soup?????? This sounds very good!!! Please do tell

Here's a basic recipe. Amazing Chicken Tortilla Soup! - 108231 - Recipezaar

Other recipes add kidney beans and corn. And garnish with avocado chunks, more chopped onion, etc. It's very tweakable for OWL because you can add the higher rung ingredients once you get to those rungs.

Had some good meals the last couple of days. My DH is cooking. I love it.
He made chicken paprikash yesterday. It was great. I had mine with shredded lettuce. Today is bacon fried cabbage with some ribs. I am looking forward to it.

Yesterday I made a big pot of Kale and Cabbage soup with some kidney beans and Linguica in it. Came out very good.

Tonight was ribeye steaks and roasted brussel sprouts.

Trader Joe's Chile Lime Chicken burger (I LOVE these things) with mashed avocado, chopped tomato and a TBS of black turtle beans on it.

Re: What's on your OWL/Pre-Main menu today?

Today is St. Paddy's Day so I'm making a traditional Irish boiled dinner with Atkins-friendly veggies cooked in the same water as the slab of Irish bacon. Leftovers will make a most excellent hash tomorrow fried in Irish (Kerrygold) butter.

And for dessert: "Bailey's Irish Creme" and coffee using strong black decaf coffee, SF Irish cream syrup, vodka and heavy cream. It really does taste like Bailey's and coffee! It can be made without the vodka but it lacks that "bite" that only booze can give.

Re: What's on your OWL/Pre-Main menu today?

I just took a whole chicken and melted some butter and olive oil with 2 cloves of minced garlic. I let the garlic sweat in the butter oil mixture for a few minutes at a very low heat until the butter took on a garlicky taste. Brushed the butter and olive oil all over my chicken. Made a rub with cayenne pepper, crushed black pepper, granulated garlic and kosher salt. Rubbed that all over the chicken and threw a couple cloves of garlic and a couple shallots in the middle and roasted it. OMG it smells so good.

With that I have some fresh asparagus I am going to roast with shallots, salt, pepper and olive oil. When they are done I will grate some fresh parmasen cheese over the top and yummmmm.

Re: What's on your OWL/Pre-Main menu today?

Oh my goodness aprile!! That sounds amazing!!! Did you leave the skin on the chicken?
I may have to try this some day

Re: What's on your OWL/Pre-Main menu today?

Yes, I always leave the skin on. That is the nice thing about Atkins I can indulge in my favorite thing crispy chicken skin.
