This is a variation on my "Warm
Strawberry Cream Cheese Danish", originally published in LowCarb
Energy Magazine in 2004. It's great for breakfast, dessert, or anytime
at all when you'd really like a little treat. The real fruit version has
9.2 net carbs, but you can whittle that down to just 4.6 by using
sugar-free fruit-flavored syrup instead of the real McCoy. Employing
this variation means you can also make ANY flavor you like - not just
orange.

Originally created for SheKnowsLowCarb.com, this delicious molded salad
makes a lovely side dish or dessert and will grace my Easter table this year
alongside pineapple ham. Those with more liberal carb allowances can double
the amount of pineapple and/or add some combination of chopped mandarin
oranges, sliced grapes, and grated or diced apple. (Gelatin flavors, nuts,
and fruit can be varied as desired as well, but this particular combo is
excellent.) Unsweetened grated coconut, toasted or not, is another good
addition.

- This cold salad is a bit out of the ordinary. Makes a spectacular side
dish, or simply add in some cooked protein before serving to turn it into an
entree - I have used chicken, steak strips, tuna, and shrimp, which was my
personal favorite.

Garlic Cheddar Rolls
 At LESS than six net carbs, with 5 full grams of dietary
fiber and even loads of protein, you could almost say that this
bread is "good for you"! One thing is for sure - these
taste far better than just good! There's NOTHING lacking in the
texture - light yet chewy inside, with an audibly crunchy crust to
rival a traditional baguette, PLUS the savory taste of onions,
garlic, and cheese .... Mmmmmm! My husband and I, as well as my
non-low-carbing friends and kids, can't get enough of these.
Just 5.9 net carbs each: 151
calories; 8.4g total fat (3.4g saturated); 10.8g carbohydrates
(4.9g fiber; 0.3g sugar); 11.1g protein

- The ultimate in tasty convenience:
pre-cooked chicken strips with canned tomatoes and shredded cheese,
wrapped in low-carb tortillas, smothered with canned green chili, more
tomatoes. and of course, MORE CHEESE!
On induction or avoiding all grains? Just omit the tortillas and layer the
remaining ingredients in a 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish, which are delicious
simply served over shredded lettuce! This method also works well for those
with non-low-carbing familes, since the others can just scoop the cooked
ingredients out into a regular tortilla.
- Servings: 6 - Preparation time: 15 minutes -
Cooking time: 1 hour
12 Net Carbs per serving: 403 calories; 25.6g total fat (13g
saturated); 19.4g carbohydrates (7.4g fiber; 1.4g sugar); 25.9g protein.
- Carb Saver (No Grain) Variation: This
variation is perfect for those with non-low-carbing familes, who can
just scoop the cooked ingredients out into a regular tortilla, while
you use a low-carb tortilla or simply eat it over lettuce,
vegetables, or by itself.
- 6 Net Carbs per serving: 303 calories; 22.2g
total fat (13g saturated); 6.4g carbohydrates (0.4g fiber; 1.4g

- Ultimate Comfort Casserole
Net Carbs: 2.9 - Servings: 12 - Yield: 13x9 pan
Prep time: 20 minutes - Cooking time: 50 minutes - Ready in: 1 hour and 15
minutes
Very low carbs and plenty of fiber rarely equal comfort food, but they
do here! Perfect for any meal, this casserole features Carbquik bake mix
in response to your feedback, and no matter what you think about most
cauliflower-for-potato substitutions, this one works! (You can always make
this recipe with any variety of TLC Bake mix instead if you wish, of
course!)

- This soup was inspired by an old Greek recipe
that I stumbled across, but I think the finished product has more
of an Asian flair. No matter, the important part is: this is new,
interesting, quick and easy to prepare, AND very low in carbs!
Dairy and meat free, it makes a perfect side dish as-is, or you
can always add tofu, chicken, fish, or almost any desired protein
source (think: leftovers!) to make a complete one-pot meal.
- Yield: 6 cups

- Creamy Garlic Feta Dressing & Dip
Preparation time: 10 minutes - Ready in: 4 hours and 10 minutes
This is my new "family compromise" dressing - both Ranch and
Bleu Cheese lovers like this one, eliminating my need to keep two
different homemade dressings in the refrigerator at all times. Try this
one soon with salad, low-carb chips, sliced vegetables, etc. It’s sure
to be a hit on those holiday veggie and cracker trays!

tablespoons)

- TLC Green Chili
- My children love this soup, originally published
in Cooking TLC Vol. I way back in 2000! You can add jalapenos in
place of some of the green chilies, if you like things spicier,
and/or use chicken or turkey instead of pork.
- 6 Servings 3
Net Carbs per serving: 296 cal, 19.5 g fat (5 g sat.), 5 g carb (2
g fiber), 22 g protein
- Feedback posted by Ganette: I
LOVE this chili! It is one of my favorites to make once the
weather is getting cold!
I have made it with both chicken and pork and a combo of
these, it uses up leftovers! I have even thrown in some
leftover tomatoes I have had in the fridge that were getting a
little mushy.
I have also torn up pieces of tortilla and thrown them in
instead of crackers as I eat it, yummy!!
This a TRULY wonderful soup/chili!

Ready in: 45 minutes
This recipe allows you to transform everyday staples and miscellaneous
leftovers into a satisfying, down-home, no holds barred and no apologies
offered classic comfort-food meal you can enjoy at any time of day. I find
this meal especially handy on those occasions when I have failed to follow
the Sacred Rule of Ps (Plenty of Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance).

Black Forest Squares
An easy no-cook treat that's perfect for too-hot-to-cook
summer days, with VERY low carbs and dozens of potential variations... How
about a vanilla crust with lemon topping? Maybe a strawberry crust with
banana topping? You are limited only by your choice and selection of shake
mix for the crust and Kool-Aid powder OR other other kinds of flavorings
for the topping.

- Waffle-dillas
6-7 net
carbs per serving
This is more of a how-to than a actual recipe. I
am always looking for new ways to combine legal ingredients, to keep
things interesting. You can, of course, use anything for the filling, but
I'm going to give you nutritional data for a couple specific and different
ideas. I think my favorite combination of fillings may be pizza, so that
is what I have illustrated first..

- Hawaiian Pizza Pleaser - 9 net

Okay, so it's not really pizza ... it is close enough for me! Piling the toppings high and getting the tortilla "crust"
as crispy as possible helps the illusion along...

Old-Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream
This was such a big hit at the 2002 Retreat, that I
decided to serve it again this time, and to release the recipe in time
for Memorial Day parties. The full recipe fills an old-fashioned ice
cream maker and feeds a crowd, but a smaller version works great in
those quick-freeze makers too! This is technically "frozen
custard", but old-fashioned ice cream sounds much better.
With just 3 carbs per serving, making this from scratch is very much
worth your effort!
This makes a thick batter that was stiff enough to
scoop, even when prepared in a quick-free ice cream maker. Even non-low-carbers
are sure to scrape their bowls!
Servings: 16 ~ Yield: approximately 12
cups
Per serving: 2.9 net carbs: 384.4 calories; 37.9g total
fat (23.5 g saturated); 169.3mg cholesterol; 334.3mg sodium; ; 2.9g

the herbs as desired, serve this on a bed of spring greens as shown,
for a tasty all-in-one meal, use in a not-so-common sandwich, or
simply serve as an entree' with your favorite side dishes. Non-low-carbers
loved this, too.
