RECIPE THREAD!

Chris's Indian Curry

Saute 1 lg onion ...set aside
Saute 1 green pepper ... set aside
Saute 8oz of sliced mushrooms...set aside

1lb of chicken...breast or dark meat if you choose.

Then add all the above ingredients with...

1.. 28oz can of tomatoes
Coconut cream to taste
Add Patak's mild/hot curry paste... Yummmy..

He does add fresh garlic when cooking the meat and other spices, I will have to get into the cupboard tomorrow and guesstimate...He says it's a secret!!!...I do make it too, but it's never as Yummy as his.

Simmer for a couple hours to reduce liquids.

Add 1/2lb of scallops about 10 minutes before serving.

Eat this over rice,  pasta, or a Patak's Pappadum with it. adds carbs though...



PS...We use beef with this a lot to and shrimp. Some times all together.

I've not tried these, yet--they come from my 6 ingredient low carb cooking book:

Lemon Cheesecake (makes 12 servings / Per serving: 213 cal / 17 g fat / 7 g protein / 2 g carb / 0 fiber)

Ingredients:
1 (3-oz) pkg sugar free lemon gelatin
2 (8-oz) pkgs cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup Xylitol
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup heavy cream

Thoroughly mix the gelatin with 1/4 cup boiling water, stirring until dissolved. In mixing bowl, combine remaining ingredients and beat until smooth and light. Add gelatin and beat until smooth. Spoon into a lightly sprayed 9 inch pie dish and chill 4 hours until set.

Regular Cheesecake

Makes 16 servings (Per Serving: 233 cal / 21 g fat / 6 g protein / 1 g sugar / 5 g carbs / 0 g fiber)

*For a Smooth Cheesecake, important to have all ingredients begin at room temp*

3 Tbls graham cracker crumbs
3 (8-oz) pkgs cream cheese, softened
4 large eggs
3/4 cup puls 1 cup sour cream
1 cup Splenda, plus 1/4 cup more (can reduce carbs by 2 per serving by using Xylitol---texture will be different, though)
4 Tbls lemon juice divided

Preheat oven to 350*. Lightly spray a 9" springform pan. Add graham cracker crumbs and rotate to cover bottom and sides. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, and mix well. Add 3/4 cup sour cream, 1 cup Splenda and 2 Tbls lemon juice. Mix until smooth. Pour into pan and bake 35 to 40 minutes until "just firm" (the center should still jiggle just a little). Combine 1 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup Splenda and 2 Tbls lemon juice. Gently pour over baked cheesecake and spread over top. Bake 5 minutes. Place pan on rack and cool. Cover then chill

Thanks so much.  They sound delicious.

What is Xyitol??  A sweetner?

I modified an easy brownie recipe to create this cake.  It came out well except for the frosting.  It was a litle stiff.  I'd try it with regular cream cheese spread or add a little smart balance light to it for texture. 

The recipe that follows is as I made it, flawed frosting and all.  I used special dark cocoa but natural cocoa will do just as well. 

If you try it let me know how it turned out.  If you can improve on it, please post your version.
