MSNative Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Let's post our low carb menu plans - 1 day, 3 days, a week, whatever you can contribute. I'm wanting to get back into the habit of menu planning but need motivation and inspiration. M- grilled pork tenderloin (marinated in soy sauce, honey, garlic and cayenne) blackberries, frozen broccoli and cauliflower sauteed in coconut oil. (For non-low carb people in family: added brown rice.) T - burritos - filling served over sauteed red peppers and onion. (or served in tortillas for the high carb life forms in the house) W - barbeque pork roast, green beans with almonds, sliced raw peppers (Cornbread) Th - grilled lime and garlic chicken, broccoli, avocado slices with lime juice (wheat rolls) Fri - Shrimp scampi - gobs of delicious butter and garlic, steamed artichokes to dip in lovely garlic and butter, mango slices. (french bread) Before I posted I did search but didn't see anything like this. If this has already been done, please ignore mine and point me to the other thread. Thanks!!

Georgiana Daniels Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Looks delicious! I'm not quite in the rhythm of planning a whole week yet, but I have a few staples I've started incorporating besides eggs and sausage ;) The two biggies are curry chicken where there's a bit of carbs in the curry sauce and veg, and chicken lettuce wraps with an Asian/ginger sauce. Got the cookbook 1001 Low-Carb Recipes and am trying to work my way through that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alenee Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Every meat we eat is paired with a large salad and for the carb-eaters, potato or rice or pasta. Occasionally we have steamed veggies with butter, rather than a salad. Here are some of my mainstays: Polska Kielbasa broiled with peppers, onions, and sometimes mushrooms Asian Chicken Wings (soy sauce, garlic, green onion, ginger, black pepper) Whatever Soup (typically chicken breast or ground beef with whatever veggies we have left in the fridge...add whatever seasoning: cajun, cumin & chili powder...) Burrito fillings (no beans) over salad (for me), tortillas for the fam Beef Roast Pork Chops with Montreal seasoning Cabbage Crack (ground beef in a pan, sauteed with cabbage, BUTTER, 2 T soy sauce, cayenne pepper) Loaded Cauliflower (cooked, riced cauliflower, mixed with ranch dressing or sour cream, bacon, green onions, a dash of garlic powder, cheese) Ham Steaks (mashed potatoes for the fam) Beef Stew Chicken Drumsticks (And rice) Recipe for Drumsticks In a 9x13 pan, coat a large family pack of drumsticks in butter Season one side with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, parsley, parmesan cheese Bake for one hour at 350* While chicken is cooking, steam 1 1/2 c rice. At the one hour mark, take chicken out of pan, and place rice IN baking dish...mix around in the juices. Return chicken to dish, unseasoned side up and re-season with above ingredients. Bake 30 minutes longer. Prep time: about 10 min. Total cook time: 1.5 hrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSNative Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Was gone this weekend and delighted to come back to see your posts. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to trying some of these recipes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moxie Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 All I've planned so far--stir fry with leftover ham and "loaded" cauliflower. One thing I tried last week that was a hit was chicken breasts dipped in eggs and then crushed pork rinds mixed with a little ranch powder. They came out of the oven nicely crisp. Even the kids ate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Tonight we had venison burger patties with cheese, sauteed purple cabbage with onion and bell pepper, and a garden salad with cheese, egg, and avocado. I'm not sure yet about tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elinor Everywhere Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Tonight we had my kids' favorite - shepherd's pie, recipe from Marks Daily Apple. Instead of mashed potatoes on top, you do mashed cauliflower. It's yummy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
