Atkins Diet, Easy to Cook Recipe to feed 7?

Question

I am having a small dinner party but I'm not the best cook. I would like to make a good meal rather than finger food. Any recommendations, recipes would be a help...some of my friend are on a diet too so pls bear this in mind. Also I'm not the best cook and dont want to spend hour in the kitchen after work! Help!

Answer 1

here are two FABULOUS low carb recipies that would be perfect for your low carb dinner party and wont break the bank.....first do a broccoli salad....get 2 heads(or enough to accomodate your guests) of fresh broccoli, 1 lg red onion, one cup shredded cheddar cheese,1 cup of fried crisp bacon chopped into small pieces,cut the broccoli into bite size florets and add to a nice salad bowl...dice the onion into the bowl add the cheese and bacon....salt and pepper to taste and use ranch dressing on it.
The next recipie is for a fabulous roasted pork loin or shoulder(shoulder is cheaper) get a fresh pork shoulder and season it with salt and pepper and garlic powder....then brush on grey poupon dijon mustard all over the shoulder and cover it loosely with foil and bake on 350 degrees til completely cooked.(dont cut it right away let the juices re-distribute)
For a great low carb starter ....take english(seedless) cuccumbers and wash them and leave the skins on....slice the cuccumbers in rounds and top with philidelphia cream cheese(the garden veggi flavor). This doubles as a low carb cheese and crackers tray

The Atkins website has recipes for all 4 phases of the diet. That's where I get my low carb recipes from. Another good source is Low Carb and Lovin' It with George Stella on foodnetwork.com

You can always roast a couple of chickens with onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, garlic, lemons, and celery. Just line a roasting pan with foil. Cover bottom with chopped veggies and stuff the chickens with veggies and lemons and lay on top of bottom layer of veggies. Rub a little olive oil, italian seasoning, salt, and pepper on the chickens. Cover and put in 400 degree oven. Cook for 1 hr and then remove lid and cook another 30 minutes until chickens are golden brown and juices from leg and thigh run clear. Serve with a big green salad, creamed spinach, green beans, or cabbage.

Answer 7

A low carb diet is also a high fat diet. It doesn't work unless you increase the amount of fat you're eating. If you eat fat you train your body to burn fat and it will then go on to burn your stored fat. If you eat carbs all the time then your body only knows how to store fat. So go buy yourself a lot of butter, ghee, lard, dripping, duck fat & coconut oil. I always make sure I have two of each of these available all the time. When I get down to my last one of any of these I immediately put it on my shopping list. Now cook everything in one of those fats. I even cook bacon in a big dollop of lard! You chicken will be delicious if you cook it in duck fat. And make sure you keep the skin on. I don't steam or boil vegetables. I bake, fry or roast them in ghee, butter or dripping. If you cook a steak make sure you keep the fat on - ask your butcher for one with all the fat. Then after you cook it add a big lump of garlic parsley butter on top. Delicious! That's the way to go with low carb. It makes everything taste great and you can make some wonderful meals.
