1/4 cup cream
salt and pepper to tasted

sautee the chicken breasts in butter and olive oil til brown on both sides
add mushrooms, garlic, ginger and thyme
sautee a few minutes then add booze
add cream a few minutes later and cook over medium heat til chicken is done and cream has reduced by half 5-8 minutes

You can eat all the yummy stuff on CKD???????

yes
all are at minamal carbs
i am working on compilinge the exact amounts but most are under 10 grams of carbs

i was on atkins for 3 months before switching

I have looked at the CKD thread and used MR. x's work sheet but never put it into practice the calories seem a little high to what I am used to eating.

it seems that way at first
i do not eat as much as he suggests either but i am actively losing weight not trying to bulk up
i am 5'5 and my lean body mass is almost 180
i presently weigh 240 i want to lose 40 more
am presently at a plateau so i went right back to atkins and skipping the carb up day
good luck to you and if you have any other questions feel free to ask
cheers from ottawa

chili Pueblo

1 pound pork butt, cubed*
1 yellow onion, diced
2 cans tomatillos (looks like little green tomatoes)
1+ jalapeno, seeded and chopped
juice 4 limes
4 tbsp cilantro, chopped
4 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

throw all into crockpot/slowcooker and let simmer a few hours
pretty damn good

* can substitute a leaner cut of pork such as porkloin or tenderloin but i like alittle fat

can also substitute chicken or turkey
would think beef would work too but not tried it yet

missing massed potatoes?
try this

boil a whole head of cauliflower in some salted water til tender
drain and either mash with a masher
or put in a food processor and whip away

add alittle cream, butter and salt & pepper to taste
there ya go

for alittle variety add alitte roasted garlic when mashing
or a couple tablespoons madras curry powder to the water

cauliflower soup

using the "mashed potato" recipe
add back some of the boiling water and alittle more cream til it comes to a nice creamy texture and add alitte madras curry powder if you wish

i like the curry powder in it, some shredded grilled chicken and alittle freshly grated parmesan

there ya go 5 recipes for one lowly vegetable
