Re: Swiss Miss with Splenda and lunch ideas

[Guest guest]

I almost always have soup and a lowcarb tortilla roll-up with roast beef and

cheese or tuna salad or devilled egg or pastrami or bacon-avocado

inside...sometimes I make a big pot of soup and have some every day or if I

don't feel like cooking I have a whole can of lowfat chicken broth. Also a

dill pickle and sometimes pork rinds...half a lowcarb chocolate bar for

dessert. Vicki

<<

I've been having a cheese and bacon omelet for the last few days, and I'm

getting a little tired of omelets. I used to always have cheese and

crackers... but without the crackers, it's not much of a meal. Any low carb

ideas for lunch that take a minimum of cooking? I need inspiration, as what

often happens is that I don't eat lunch, and then I'm ravenous and grab

something I shouldn't :-)

How about cold cuts (real meat, not the ones with filler) sliced thin and

rolled with flavored cream cheese?

You can sign up for the CarbSmart lowcarb recipe exchange -- lots of good

soup recipes (and others) there via email every day.

Vicki,

I haven't made soup in ages... I need to do that -- I like it so much

better than the canned stuff.

---I roll swiss cheese up in the middle of ham or turkey. CHicken

salad is good as is egg salad. Have to cook the chicken or boil the

eggs but that really doesn't take too much time. Can serve on

crackers or eat with fork. I use very little mayo but I do use a lot

of spices in mine and add celery to the chicken salad and sometimes

onion. I use the instant soup on cold days. Tuna is good as well

and also filling.

If you just tired of cheese and bacon omelets, how about new taste

omelets, like tofu omelets, onion omelets (you will say it's still

omelets . Just trying to help, Sandy :-).

maybe you can find great recipes/ideas from www.cooking.com;

www.verybestmeals.com, not all the recipe is lowcarb but you can

choose; www.lowcarb.ca/low-carb-recipes.html or just click

www.lowcarb.ca/links.html and you'll find a lot of lowcarb recipes

web,

Happy cooking and lowcarbing

Robin,

Sounds good too :-) Lots of good ideas... thanks to everyone!

How about cold cuts (real meat, not the ones with filler) sliced thin and

rolled with flavored cream cheese?

[Guest guest]

Sandy,

Since I love good food, but don't have unlimited time to prepare, I plan Lots

of leftovers. Sometimes I have to eat my meals in the car or nibble a few

bites at a time when I'm with groups. I frequently use the high fiber/lower

carb tortillas to wrap chopped roasted veggies and some protein from the

previous dinner or I'll use hummus with lots of raw veggies. Last week, I

made the chili-relleno-like quiche and squished some of that in a tortilla.

I've also grabbed salmon patties with lettuce, tomoato and onion and wrapped

that. I'll also take celery stuffed with hummus or eggplant. I've also

used large well-dried lettuce leaves as wrappers.

Wrapping deli meats and cheeses were also mentioned...I've wrapped meat

slices around pickle spears.

Breakfast:I use eggs in cooking, but rarely just eat them straight. I'll eat

some of the same wraps I mentioned above or a boca or gardenburger with lots

of horseradish. On cold mornings, I may have a cup of soup with the

veggie-burger thrown in or even a cup of chile. This morning, I'm eating a

salmon patty broken up with some roasted broccoli.

I love salads for lunch .. I use the new Best Foods Too good 2 be true

mayo :-) Its wonderful and 2 grams of carb for a serving. I am telling

everyone about this but it does have a tad of sugar and so it may raise

your sugar levels. It doesn't raise mine and I have tested at 1 and 2

and 3 hours...this tasts like real live mayo...

Last week I have had bacon and tomato salad..I use 6 slices of

Myer lean center cut bacon for 150 calories and no carbs. (I count

calories too) and I add a bit of tomato and romaine lettuce and then I

make a dressing with the mayo and a bit of lemon juice and a bit of

splenda..

Its wonderful...and the fat in the bacon keeps me full until dinner...

Also.taco salad...with, ground beef, lettuce, tomato, and cheese (and a

bit of baked tortilla chips if u are not low carb) add a dressing of

mayo and sugar free salsa..

23 carb grams, and this is 10.
