So what's for dinner at your house tonight?

Hubbs is finally embracing the low carb thing, so it's gotten a ton easier and more fun to cook around here. The only problem now is fitting in enough carbs for my 18 mo old daughter

Tonight we had teriyaki marinated, pan fried (for the color) and then baked chicken cutlets, with an amazing teriyaki glaze/pan reduction. Deglazed the pan with low-sodium chicken broth, add in teriyaki glaze, minced garlic and (dried) minced onion, and boil, then simmer, until reduced to the consistency of a thick bbq sauce. 1 Tbsp of sauce only has 6 carbs, and that's more than enough sauce for my 4 oz of chicken at one sitting.

I also wanted (and made) artichokes, but the darn water took forever to boil. End result was that they weren't ready to eat until after dinner was over. So, I ate a couple leaves and packed the rest up for leftovers.

Also made "scallops scampi" and stir-fried some lemon-pepper chicken today. Amazing how much fun it is to cook when just the thought of food doesn't make me feel guilty and ashamed!

We had Shrimp Charmoula; grilled shrimp marinated in a delicious Moroccan-inspired marinade. My daughter had her fave veggie (Brussels sprouts) on the side. We made two pounds of shrimp so there will be plenty left over for shrimp tacos (on low carb tortillas) for lunch tomorrow.

Okay....now I need the Shrimp recipe! That sounds delish!!!

Hey Yorkie,

How do you make your cauliflower mash?  I am always looking for new options.

I make mine the old WW way, one of the few things taken from ww.

1 head of cauliflower or half a large bag of frozen - boiled and drained
3 laughing cow FULL FAT swiss cheese wedges
cracked pepper
Molly McButter - as much as you want to taste.

I could eat the whole bowl. LOL

Wow, you guys are good!! we have some terrific cooks on this board and such an inspiration to newbies who can see ultimately, the kind of foods we eat after we're healed, and how great our culinary quality of life is.

I agree with april, my DS reawakened my love for cooking as I no longer feel guilty or ashamed about it. My fav channel is the food network andI can sit and talk to my friend Nick for hours about recipes and food - we don;t shut up!!lol
