Hey i was just curious if your recipes are available in a book? I know this is an old post but im hoping you'll see this because if it is I'd buy it! It'd be much easier having the recipes available in a book versus searching through you blog, though i love reading it, its not easy searching for the recipes when your ready to go make something unless you bookmark ahead of time.
I just posted it on the recipe.

Do you have the nutritional info for this recipe? It sounds WONDERFUL!!
I was told that celery, cauliflower and broccoli were no longer allowed on the foods list. I hate carrots and sweet potatoes so those I would not even consider, but what about home made celery soup thats pureed. Or even pureed cauliflower and broccoli soups? I dont understand why these foods would be forbidden, Any Ideas?
High Protein/Low Carb Meatloaf
Ingredients
1lb. 90% or higher ground beef
1 egg
1/2 med. onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 TBL dried parsley
1 tsp dried parsley (this is not a typo, just a separate measurement of the parsley that will be used)
1 tsp of either dried oregano or Italian seasoning
1/2 cup (split) Heinz Reduced Sugar ketchup
1/2 cup (split) grated parmesan cheese
1 TBL Worchester sauce
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 cup to 1 cup of ground rolled oats (grind the oats in a food processor or blender until they are very small pellets)
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, onion, celery, salt, pepper, oregano, 1 tsp of parsley, 1/4 cup of ketchup, (1 TBL) parmesan cheese, Worchester sauce, poultry seasoning, and a 1/2 cup of the oats.
With your hands, knead the mixture together until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. To see if more oats are needed, hold a large clump of the mixture in your hand over the bowl, tilt your hand to see if the mixture stays clumped together. If it doesn't then add a little more oats, test again. Keep adding oats to the entire mixture and thoroughly combine, keep testing until the test clump no longer falls apart.
I like to make 2 meatloaves from this mixture...freezing leftovers if any. In a glass baking dish (9x11 or something like that) split the mixture and shape them into 2 loaves. Spread the remaining ketchup over the entire top and sides of the loaves (or loaf if making 1 large), sprinkle the remaining parsley flakes and parmesan cheese over the top of the loaves.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350° for 70 minutes.

I posted this to the DS page with my daily eating but thought other might want it as well. As I noted this is for one serving but I couldn't imagine eating it alone. I split it with my BF who hasn't had surgery and even 1/2 of this recipe fills him up.
This recipe is different and you definitely need to keep an open mind. BUT, they taste so good. My boyfriend couldn't tell what the different ingredient was. I top them with homemade no sugar apple butter and no sugar added peanut butter.
"Pancake" recipe
1.5 ounce plain pork rinds (Crush them - I use my ninja)
2 eggs
1/4 milk or whatever milk alternative you use (i.e. almond, soy, hemp, half&half - I have whole milk so I used that)
1-2 tsp cinnamon (I use closer to 2 tsp but i'm not big on measuring it out)
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla
1 TBL Erythritol (the recipe I got this from used 20 drops liquid stevia, but I don't have that so I used what I have, i'm sure any sweetener would work)
Butter, coconut oil, etc for frying (whatever you feel comfortable with - I personally use butter because, well, butter)
- Finely crush your pork rinds - again I use my ninja equivalent - the original recipe used a rolling pin and a ziplock bag - my theory was the finer the better - set aside
- In a bowl mix the eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and sweetener
- Add the pork rinds to the liquid and mix until you get most of the lumps out (I usually have a few small ones)
- Let the mix sit for 5 minutes.
- Note on the batter - I noticed that it appears grainy - but thats okay - and it gets thicker than it started out as - thats what we want
- Pour about 1/3 of the batter onto a heated skillet with your melted butter (I would say I use about 1/2 TBL for each pancake)
- Let cook for about 1-2 minutes
- These will not "bubble" like traditional pancakes. For me I know its time to flip when they are pretty much set and move around the pan when I shake it
- Flip over, I remove them from the heat at this point and move them around the pan to soak up whatever butter was left
- Put onto your plate and enjoy with whatever toppings you enjoy.
- Start over with the melted butter and 1/3 batter for the next batch.
- Also, another reason I remove from the heat to finish off each pancake is so the pan cools slightly for my next batch.
Note to RNY'ers - I wouldn't recommend eating more than 1 of the 3 pancakes this recipe makes. They are filling and because of the pork rinds they do expand in your stomach. Just my 2 cents though.
Hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

I make a fat free mug cake for my mom from Trader Joe's. The mix is 2 tbls of brownie mix and 1 tbls of yogurt. She loves it. If you feel like playing around, try replacing your water with yogurt - I'm betting it will make it more tender.

How do you like CarbQuik? was going to try it. Any stores carry it?
I have an old seal-a-meal too. You can use the same bags as the foodsaver.... yes the outsides have gotten fancier, but it is the same technology- that hasn't changed.

I use those and also Toufayan Pitas. I can buy them on Netrition.com or sometimes local. Anything bread-like I try to keep in my freezer so I am not tempted to eat it every day. I also keep low carb tortillas and Ezekial bread. also I occasionally do 100 calorie english muffin.
