Kitchen Experiment FAIL: Low Carb Crock Pot Chicken Curry

I was WAY out of familiar territory here, and now have a pot full of food sitting in the fridge I know no one will go near. I can’t even begin to pretend that this one has any redeeming qualities. Experiments sometimes lead to failure – and this one was a big failure. This was [...]

Kitchen Experiment – Crock Pot Cabbage and Tomato Soup

‘Kitchen experiment’ posts are where I totally risk time, money and energy trying to concoct something I’ve never tried before. Sometimes they work out great. Other times, it goes straight to the trash – or it gets hidden in the fridge until it becomes a health hazard and can be thrown away without guilt – [...]

Low Carb Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore Recipe

I do this all the time. I come up with some concoction off-the cuff and riff on it, trying to make it simpler, and either make a dish so inedible that I never want to try it again or end up eating it for so long that the monotony kills my interest in it and [...]

A List of Low Carb Recipe Sites

“If I go on low carb, what the heck am I going to eat?” It seem I hear that a lot – most people think it’s bacon, eggs, butter and steak. The problem is that most people go on a low carb diet before they read up on it. They usually end up eating eggs [...]

More Food Journaling 12-07-08

Had 3 eggs in a tablespoon of butter around 10am. I was hungry maybe an hour and a half later, so I had some cream cheese mixed with pumpkin and Splenda as a spread on low carb bread, then some of the cranberry sauce I made as the ‘jelly’. I really like the cranberry sauce. [...]

Day 23: Yada Yada

Breakfast was an Atkins bar. Lunch was a healthy portion of that London broil soup, which held me until close to 8pm, when I had a few of PF Changs Northern Style Ribs as takeout. They are very low carb. I also had 2 hot dogs on low carb bread – and a lot of [...]

Day 22: Crock Pot London Broil

I mentioned food boredom in yesterday’s posting, but what I didn’t mention – and haven’t talked about as of yet – was how I spent my summer and fall regarding diet. I didn’t post much, but I was busy experimenting with the notion of eating simpler, more raw foods – nothing wacky, like the raw [...]

Day 14: A Kitchen Experiment…and a Baguette

I wanted something Italian, and I wanted to buy some chicken – and do it in the crock pot. Chicken Caccitore seemed to fit the bill. As usual, I found a recipe, then threw it away and came up with my own version: 4 chicken leg quarters 2 yellow onions 2 small yellow squash 4 [...]

Recipe – Crock Pot Pork Shoulder

This is from a recipe lifted from Cooks.com. As simple as their recipe was, it wasn’t simple enough for me – and they are certainly fat phobic – which I am not. Important to note: make sure the pork shoulder you buy fits in the crock pot! I have the larger, oval version and it [...]
