Effort: Easy

Ingredients:
4 boneless chicken breasts or boneless thighs
1 lg onion
1 pkg mushrooms
garlic powder
black pepper
4-6 oz cheese (swiss, provolone, cheddar or mozzarella)
4 slices bacon
2 tbsp white wine

How to Prepare:
Fry the bacon in a large skillet. While the bacon is
frying, slice the onion and mushrooms. When bacon reaches the desired
crispness, remove from pan. If there is too much grease, pour
some off, there should be enough to coat the bottom of the pan.
Butterfly the chicken and/or pound thin , as in scallopini.
Place the chicken in the pan. Add onions and mushrooms to
skillet, heaping around edges of chicken.Season to taste and sautee until
done, flipping half way through (about 5 minutes each side,
depending how thin). Add the white wine. When done, scoop
up all the onions and mushrooms and place on top of the
chicken. Break up bacon and place that on top. Finally, top
with cheese. Place a lid over to melt the cheese for a minute or
two.

Carbs: essentially zero.

Effort:

Ingredients:
10 pounds coarse (Kosher) salt — (3-4 boxes)
1 beef prime rib roast — (three-bone; about 5-6 lbs)
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
pepper

How to Prepare:
Preheat over to 500º F. Pour a small amount of the salt in a large roasting pan until
bottom is evenly covered, and then spray a fine mist of water over salt with a hand-held sprayer until salt is moist and sticky.

Place prime rib in the pan.

Mix Worcestershire sauce and the paprika in a small bowl and pour carefully over prime rib. Using your hands, rub the mixture all over the meat. Season meat with pepper.

Cover meat completely with remaining salt, heaping into a dome shape (there may be some extra left over) and spray entire surface of salt with water until moist and sticky. You may need to spray water to during the doming process to help the salt hold its shape. Place in oven and bake for 15 minutes per pound (roast will be medium rare inside).

Remove from oven, let meat stand for 5 min then carefully break salt away with a kitchen mallet and remove. Brush any remainng salt off and carve.

Fear not the fatty bits! Yum!

Carbs Per Serving: about 7

Effort: Average

Ingredients:
Crust:

1/2 C ground nuts (macadamias or walnuts)
2 packets Splenda
1/4 C Atkins or comparable bake mix
3 T melted butter

Filling:

1/2 Pint (8 fl oz) heavy cream
1 package sugar-free Lemon Jell-o
3/4 C water
1 packet Splenda

How to Prepare:
Crust:
Chop nuts in a food processor, or by hand. Try to get as fine a
grind as possible without turning them to butter. Combine nuts, bake
mix, and Splenda in a bowl. Add in melted butter and blend until you
have a crumbly mixture that will hold its shape if pressed together
(you may not need the entire 3 T of butter).

Grease a pie dish (7-8″ works best), and pour in crust mixture.
Press firmly into the bottom and sides of the pan, coming up the
side about 2″. Bake this in a 300º F preheated oven for about
10-14 minutes, until it just barely begins to darken (careful -
don’t overbake). Remove from oven and cool.

Filling:

Heat 3/4 C water in a small saucepan. When boiling, add the package
of Jell-o. Stir to dissolve completely, then take off heat. Chill
until the Jell-o liquid is cold, but not starting to set (about 20
mins in the refrigerator).

Pour 3/4 C of heavy cream into a chilled bowl (the other 1/4 C will
be whipped for a topping, but this is to be done just before
serving). Beat until very stiff peaks form. Add the chilled Jell-o
liquid to the whipped cream. Beat for a few seconds, just enough to
fully mix. Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust and spread to
form an even top. Place in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3
hours.

Just before serving, beat the remaining 1/4 C of heavy cream, adding
Splenda to taste. Cut the pie into pieces and serve with a dollop of
whipped cream.
