Today's menu consisted of the following:
Breakfast: 3 large eggs + green peppers + chipotle mayo
Snack 1: Cottage cheese + banana + peanut butter
Lunch: Butternut Squash Soup
Snack 2: 3 Minute Chocolate Cake
Supper: Eye of round roast with chipotle mayo
Today was interesting because:
1. I got to try out the homemade chipotle mayo. This is right now one of my favorite dips. Chipotle is a nice slow burn.
2. I finally found something to mix with cottage cheese that made it enjoyable.
3. Butternut squash was something we had never had before. Making the soup was a bit more work than I like, but in the end it turned out to be a huge bowl of win.
A majority of the recipes I use will come from Linda's Low Carb - http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/. Thanks to her trial and errors, we have been able to adjust to a low carb lifestyle and enjoy it.
I also use AllRecipes.com for some of the carb-y recipes. They have a low carb section, but it doesn't compare to Linda's recipes.
I should mention that the cake found on Linda's website is probably one of the best low carb desserts ever - along with being the healthies. Using my numbers, it works out to 236 calories, 12 grams of fat, 9 grams of carbs (!!!) and get this - 24 grams of protein!! That's absolutely outstanding.
