non-dairy low-carb recipes and non-meat low-carb recipes
Hi,
I find that many low-carb cookbooks I have glanced through seem to have many recipes containing meat and cheese together. Anyone know of any way to substitute in these recipes (for the dairy part or meat part) or find recipes which are basically non-dairy... On the flip side, coming up for me is what is commonly referred to as "the 9 days" where there is no meat eating. Any ideas about low-carb non-meat recipes too? Sounds like fish and eggs, but my wife is sick of omlettes and there is only so much you can do with tuna (or maybe there is more...). thanks, Ben -- "What passes for wisdom may only be eloquent foolishness" Cheap long distance calling using Onesuite (http://www.onesuite.com). 2.5 cents/min anywhere in the U.S., to Canada or the U.K. No monthly or connection fees! Use promotional code 038664643 for 20 free minutes. |

I don't remember her name but her page might be in the ASDLC FAQ Guess it is too bad Myra never published her cookbook.

non-dairy low-carb recipes and non-meat low-carb recipes
There are lots of substitutes you can use as "meat" (e.g. Morningstar
Farms Grillers crumbles: http://kelloggs.com/cgi-bin/brandpag...324&company=23 can be used instead of ground beef). I'm not conversant with kosher dietary restrictions so I can't help you there. Sick of plain eggs for breakfast? Try eggs Italian style (eggs baked with marinara sauce). Eggplant is also very versatile. Stir frys can be made with extra firm tofu cubes instead of meat (tofu soaks up flavors very well). You can make oven baked veggies (e.g. yellow and green squash, peppers, portabella mushrooms, eggplant, etc.) by chopping them, tossing in olive oil and Italian seasoning, bake at 350 to taste (15 - 25 minutes). May you do veggies and cheese together? If so, that's a good dinner. Spinach with feta - mock spinach pie. You can make a meal out of a big bowl of raw baby spinach, cheese and LC dressing. There are many tasty-looking recipes and ideas at Linda's Low Carb Menus and Recipes: http://users3.ev1.net/~fontlady/main_dish_recipes.html. Hope that helps.

Hi, I find that many low-carb cookbooks I have glanced through seem to have many recipes containing meat and cheese together. Anyone know of any way to substitute in these recipes (for the dairy part or meat part) or find recipes which are basically non-dairy... hello Ben ! I am a vegetarian low carber. (I eat dairy but no fish) Many times what I have done in recipes that use ground beef is substitute morningstar veggie crumbles. They work nicely as a substitute and I have had no problems with that. You could also use a veggie burger for burgers, etc. I am a big dairy fan but some recipes/meals that you could could leave out dairy on are (but some use meat substitutes) George Stella's chili recipe on foodtv.com fried rice using grated cauliflower spanish rice using same taco salad (can use veggie meat or soy beans in it) with salsa, slices of avacado, olives, peppers Indian curry recipe chinese style stir fry with tofu various salads or vegetable dishes with a side of protein (such as veggie burger) Hope that might help! |

I enlarged the image of the product and saw what looked like a certification and a quick google confirmed it. So this is a real help I must say! I still need to look into recipes (and how much these morningstar things cost - probably not more than kosher meat I imagine) and I will be really cooking... A big thank you...
