    Married To A Greek!!

    I live in a 100% greek household with his mom (not much english) and my husband (speaks both). I know a little. We cook Greek food all the time. My favorite food is eggleveno soup. Eggs, lemon, rice, broth.. I know the rice is off limits, however you can take a few eggs and lemon and use broth from a roast and blend it and then dump it on the roast? Does this sound ok? does lemon juice have alot of carbs?

    Now only if i could make baklava Atkins friendly

      Fresh lemon juice is allowed, but limited to 2-3 tablespoons per day. According to FitDay, it has 1.15 net carbs per tablespoon, with 0.05 g dietary fiber.

      Maybe you could make some cauliflower rice instead of real rice? This is the recipe:

          Sounds good. I wonder if you could replace the rice with cauliflower rice?

              I know you didn't ask for this one, but I love moussaka and have been making it a lot since I discovered an alternative to the Bechamel sauce. For a 9 by 13 pan I mix 2 eggs, 2/3 cup cream, and a 16 ounce tub of ricotta, add in nutmeg to taste, and throw that on top of my eggplant and lamb layers.

              I figured this might come in handy for you too.

               It's not about the results. Its about the process.

                  Ricotta for the bechamel is a great idea for OWL Phase. But for Induction phase, something like cream cheese would be more legal. The other alternative would be a cauliflower-cream cheese puree (years ago, I saw a low fat cooking show that substituted a potato puree for bechamel).
