    Sausage & Egg Casserole
    2 lb. Sausage, browned and drained
    6 eggs
    2 cups of grated cheese
    1 cup soy flour
    1/4 cup chopped onion
    1 few good dashes of hot sauce
    Mix all ingredients and press into a 9"x13" pan. Bake at 350* until lightly brown. Cut into squares to serve. Can be made the night before and warmed in the oven.
    Variation on a theme: leave out the soy flour and substitute slices of green chile rellenos peppers. Layer the cheese, sausage, and peppers like lasagna if you let it cool, it is less liquid.


    Skillet Meatloaf
    Serves 4
    2 1/2 lb. ground beef
    1 small onion grated
    1 garlic clove minced
    1 egg
    1 Tbsp. catsup
    Salt and pepper
    Sauce:
    1 can of tomato puree
    1 tsp. sugar (omit or substitute with sweetener)
    Several fresh basil leaves chopped
    1 small can of mushroom pieces drained
    1 large onion sliced
    Worcestershire sauce
    Make meatloaf mixture by combining meat, onion, egg and seasoning. Form into a round loaf. Heat some olive oil in a heavy-duty skillet. Pat meat into pan and brown on both sides; carefully turning with wide spatula. Mix tomato paste, an empty paste can of water, sugar and basil and pour over meatloaf. Add sliced onion and mushrooms to pan. Sprinkle with a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce. Cook covered over low heat for 1+ hour or until meatloaf is tender. Occasionally stir sauce in pan and baste top of meatloaf. Serve meatloaf with some of the thickened sauce.

    Dry Rubs for Meat
    Barbecued Beef Rib Rub
    1/3 cup ground black pepper
    1/4 cup paprika
    1 tablespoon salt
    1 tablespoon chili powder
    1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
    1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
    Danny's General Purpose Dry Rub
    3/4 cup paprika
    1/4 cup black pepper
    1/4 cup salt
    2 tablespoons chili powder
    2 tablespoons garlic powder
    2 tablespoons onion powder
    1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
    Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly. Rub meat to be barbecued with the dry rub and allow to marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
    Jack's Dry Rub
    1tsp.sage
    1tsp. salt
    1tsp. pepper
    1/2 tsp. ground cumin
    Combine all ingredients, and mix well.
    Gary Howard’s Rub
    3 tbsp. paprika
    1 tbsp. onion powder
    1 tbsp. garlic powder
    1 tbsp. ground basil
    1.5 tbsp. dry mustard
    1 tbsp. red pepper
    1/2 tsp. black pepper
    Combine dry rub ingredients and rub onto ribs or meat.
    Cajun-flavoured Steak Rub
    Scrape a halved garlic bulb on both sides, then rub in a half-teaspoon of home-made Cajun mix:
    1 tsp. dried basil
    1 tsp. thyme
    1 tsp. cumin
    1 tsp. black pepper
    1/2 tsp. hot red pepper or cayenne.
    Jerk Dry Rub from Andrew Gnoza
    Pastes made of spices, herbs, and onions are the authentic jerk flavouring method. You rub the paste into the uncooked meat to add flavour. This is a medium-hot paste; it can be made hotter with the addition of more hot peppers or hot pepper sauce. If you want less heat, remove the seeds and membranes containing the seeds from the
    peppers before grinding them. Scotch bonnet or habanero peppers are preferred, but you can substitute the milder, or more readily available jalapeno or serrano peppers.

    1 onion, finely chopped
    1/2 cup scallions, finely chopped
    2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
    2 teaspoons salt
    1 teaspoon Jamaican pimento, (allspice)
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    4 to 6 hot peppers, finely ground
    1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

    Mix together all the ingredients to make a paste. A food processor fitted
    with a steel blade is ideal for this. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in a tightly closed jar for about a month.
    Jerk Dry Seasoning

    This seasoning mix is excellent to have on hand to sprinkle on cooked and uncooked fish, vegetables, or snacks. It does not have quite as strong flavour as the rub and the marinade. To increase the heat, add more cayenne.

    1 tablespoon onion flakes
    1 tablespoon onion powder
    2 teaspoons ground thyme
    2 teaspoons salt
    1 teaspoon ground Jamaican pimento, (allspice)
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    2 teaspoons sugar ( substitute EQUAL )
    1 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground
    1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    2 teaspoons dried chives, OR
    2 teaspoons green onions, dried

    Mix together all the ingredients. Store leftovers in a tightly closed glass jar. It will keep its pungency for over a month.

    Swedish Meat - from Laura La Gassa
    I don't call this Swedish Meatballs because it's too carby and too much work to add the bread and flour and make little balls. So we're left with just Meat. :)
    1/2 cup minced onion
    4 tbsp. butter
    1 1/2 lb. ground meat
    2 eggs, slightly beaten
    1 tsp. salt
    1/2 tsp. pepper
    1 tsp. nutmeg
    1 tsp. paprika
    1 cup water
    3 tbsp. Atkins Bake Mix or other low-carb flour
    1 cup sour cream
    1/2 tsp. dill (dried, or 1 1/2 tbsp. minced fresh)
    Cook the onion in 1 tbsp. butter until soft, about 4 minutes.
    Mix the meat, eggs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and paprika in a bowl. Add the onions and mix well.
    Melt the remaining 3 T butter in a frying pan on medium heat. Put the meat mixture into the pan when hot, and let it cook for a while as one big chunk (it helps to spread the meat out like an omelette). When it's brown on one side, break up the meat into smaller chunks and flip them over to brown the other sides. Continue cooking until the chunks are browned and cooked through, then remove them from the pan.
    Turn the heat down to low, and add the water. Using a sifter or strainer (to avoid lumps), sprinkle the Atkins Bake Mix into the pan while stirring. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until thickened.
    Add the sour cream, a spoonful at a time, stirring until well mixed. Add the dill, and mix well. Add back the meat, and cook on low for about 10 minutes.
    Carb count: About 22 for the whole batch.

    Cabbage with Sausage
    1 head cabbage
    1 cup beef broth (one bouillon cube and a cup of water)
    1 package beef smoked sausage (keilbasa)
    1 medium onion
    3 cloves garlic (I love garlic)
    Butter
    Core the cabbage and chop into approximately 1.5 to 2 inch pieces.
    Chop onion and sauté in large soup pot, adding minced garlic near the end.
    Cut sausage into 1/4" thick slices and cook in onion/garlic/butter for about 5 minutes.
    Spread sausage over bottom of pot evenly and place cabbage on top, and pour in broth
    Cover, reduce heat, and let steam till cabbage is tender (about 10 to 15 minutes).
    Stir and serve (salt/pepper to taste of course)


    "Hungarian" Beef and Cabbage
    I lb. hamburger
    1/2 to 1/4 small head of cabbage, shredded
    1/2 can or less of Hunts tomato sauce (or other sugar-free)
    Dash each salt, pepper, garlic powder
    Small dash cinnamon.
    Brown ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder; drain - reserve 1 Tbsp. fat. Move beef to one side, cook (wilt) cabbage in the remaining tbsp. of beef fat in other side. When wilted, mix together and add tomato sauce. Continue to cook for about 10 more minutes. Add tiny dash of cinnamon (to taste). That's it. Basically it tastes like stuffed cabbage leaves without the hassle of stuffing and rolling (and without the rice, of course).

    My Favorite Cuke Salad
    Sliced sweet onion
    Sliced or chunked cucumber
    Sour cream
    Vinegar to thin
    Dill to taste, (or tarragon, or any fresh herb chopped)
    Salt & pepper
    Use only enough vinegar to thin out the sour cream to mixable not pourable consistency, the cucumbers will through a lot of moisture as well. Great with salmon or any fish. Can substitute for tartar sauce if you chop fine.

    2 tablespoons mayonnaise
    1 tablespoon milk
    1/2 teaspoon minced fresh jalapeno chile (wear rubber gloves)

    1 large carrot
    1 scallion

    2 C. diced cooked chicken
    1/2 C mayonnaise
    1 1/2 sticks celery, chopped
    1/4 C. chopped walnuts
    2 Tbs. curry powder
    Just add to a bowl and stir! This is great for lunch or as a quick dinner, for those nights that I get home late and REALLY don't want to cook - it keeps me from grabbing something carby just because it's fast...


    Cabbage and Ground Beef Soup
    1 to 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
    1/2 onion
    1 large head Cabbage
    Salt, Pepper, Soy Sauce, Garlic to taste

    Variations on Sugar-Free Pudding Mixes
    The sugar-free pudding ranges from 6 to 8 carbohydrates per serving, WITHOUT milk added. When we use it in recipes, most of us use real cream, which has 6-7 grams of carbohydrates per cup, mixed 1:1 (or less cream even) with water or coffee. This turns into quite a very rich dessert and you can get up to 12 servings out of it rather than 4 or 6. Some people just use a tablespoon of the pudding mix in some cream and cream cheese for a nice treat. Or they drop a tablespoon of the dry mix into their shakes. You just need to count the carbohydrates and be aware.
    Another idea - mix a package of SF chocolate pudding (powder, not mixed) with an 8oz package of cream cheese. Form into about 24 little balls and roll in crushed nuts. Watch the carbohydrates in the nuts, though. Without nuts, the total carbohydrate count comes to about 40. So, this is about 1.6 g per candy. Keep refrigerated.
    Put 8 oz of Creme Cheese in the blender, mix it up some. Add 12 oz of sugar free Jello BEFORE IT SETS mix all together. Pour it in a bowl or whatever to set. It will set up with a creamy consistency sort of like pudding

    Pumpkin Cake
    2 cups Splenda (48 carbs)
    2 cups soy flour (64 carbs)
    1- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
    1 tsp. salt
    2 tsp. baking soda
    1 Tbsp. cinnamon
    1 tsp. nutmeg
    1 can pumpkin (40 carbs, minus 16 fiber = 24 carbs)
    Total carbs=136 grams (about 8.5 grams per slice)
    Combine and mix all ingredients, and pour into one or two loaf pans or a tube cake pan. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour (1 hour was a bit too long when I did it the first time) at 350 degrees.


    Low-Carbohydrate Pancakes
    6 eggs
    1/2 cup soy flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 tablespoon oil
    1/2 cup liquid (we used 1/4 cup half n half, 1/4 cup water)
    2 packets equal
    Optional: boil the 1/4 cup of water, and add 1-3 teaspoons Sugar Free Strawberry Jello
    Use a mixer, as the blender didn't want to catch all the flour. This is what we will add next time... 1 more teaspoon baking powder for fluffiness and a bit more artificial sweetener.
    Now, when I just talked to my mom on the phone to get the recipe, she said to tell everyone the the mix comes out runnier than the high carb version, so keep that in mind when you're making pancakes

    Honey Mustard Salad Dressing
    1/2 cup oil
    1/4 cup Dijon mustard (I just use French's, we like it better that way)
    1 cup mayonnaise
    3/4 tsp. vinegar
    Dash of garlic powder
    Dash of onion powder
    1/4 cup spoonable sweetener
    Blend it all together and you are finished! This is quite thick and can be thinned down with water if you like a "runnier" dressing. Great on grilled chicken too

    Donna;

    Have you tried the "No-Bake Pumpkin Pie"?

    I made it last night. It is good, but did not set up really well. I put it in the freezer and will take one piece out at a time.

    BTW, heavy whipping cream really DOES have ZERO carbs. [​IMG]

    I had to bake a cake for hubby and I made up a low carb icing that is very easy and it is delicious.

    Melt 1 box of cream cheese and 3 squares of chocolate in microwave. Blend well and ice the cake!

    JERKED CHICKEN Serves 4; 1 breast half per serving

    2 teaspoons whole or ground allspice 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons light soy sauce 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 2 medium limes) 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped 1 shallot, peeled and chopped 1 tablespoon rum or 1/8 teaspoon rum extract 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon acceptable vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 4 ounces each), all visible fat removed In a small skillet over medium-low heat, dry-roast the whole allspice for 1 to 2 minutes (1 minute for ground allspice). This will help bring out the full flavor. Grind whole allspice in a mortar and pestle or coffee grinder. Put allspice into a blender or the work bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add the remaining ingredients except chicken. Process for 20 to 30 seconds, then pour into a shallow nonmetallic bowl. Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Place chicken breasts in mixture and let marinate for 2 to 10 hours, covered, in the refrigerator. Turn breasts twice while marinating. When ready to cook, prepare grill or preheat broiler. Grill chicken over medium-hot coals or broil in a broiler-safe pan, 4 to 6 inches from heat, for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through. Cook’s Tip: Cook extra breasts for "planned-overs", such as sliced and used in a fresh green vegetable salad or wrapped in a warm low-fat flour tortilla and topped with shredded lettuce, nonfat cheese, and fresh tomatoes for a tropical soft taco.
