Tunasalad

The tunasalad can be made with mayo, or with mustard instead for a lower-calorie (and less fat) option.


1 box tuna
1 box tuna with thai chilli
3 eggs soft-boiled
Green onions, chopped
Salt & pepper
Mayones OR mustard (just add enough to blend in)

If you want, you can add other things to the mix:
sweet chilli sauce
herbs (cilantro, etc)
lettuce, chopped
red bell pepper, cut in small pieces
honey

Eat it on a small corn tortilla, or on low carb bread.
Or, just eat it as it is.

LASAGNE! (Raw food based recipe)

Came across a raw food recipe of lasagne (was a bit skeptical, but oh, I'm a little hooked..!), that was soooo good, I started getting the cravings for it, and since I can't buy it anywhere as take out, and was a bit too lazy and in a hurry to make the whole recipe (you're supposed to make the two different sauces from scratch with herbs and spinach and stuff) - I just cheated a bit with the sauces, to make a QUICK DINNER, and didn't use all of the ingredients, just the essential ones, and it was just as good! 
(It tastes a lot more than it looks like too!) 

So, instead of making the sauces, I used tomato purée (just added some basil herbs) and green pesto. 

See below for ingredients, and you just add in layers, like you would a lasagne. 
Doesn't need cooking, just ready to eat! :-) 



Ingredients:

Mushrooms, in slices (wash if you want, since not going to heat them, and dry off with some paper towel)
Squash / zucchini (use a cheese grader to make very thin slices, and use as lasagne plates)
Avocado (try to get somewhat slices, and spread out as a layer)
Onion (optional, in addition: garlic) (chop in small pieces and spread out as a layer)
Tomato purrée
Basil herbs
Pesto (green)
Salt & Pepper
Cheese (on top)

In addition, if you want (not necessary):
Cashew nuts (natural, non-salted) or almonds (chopped in very small pieces)
Chick peas
Corn

The Mushrooms are supposed to be marinated in olive oil, basil herbs, salt & pepper, and some lemon juice (or squeeze a piece of lemon over), but I forgot last time I made it, and didn't really notice a big difference, so you don't have to. There's alot of flavor (and oil) in the pesto sauce, so you could just put this on top of the mushrooms instead.

ICE CREAM!! :-)

Vanilla ice-cream!
(frozen on this picture)

Can you believe it?!! :-) That on this low-carb diet, you can actually eat ice cream, as part of the diet is high fat, and ice cream is made of cream - high in fat and protein - and eggs, and sweetener with no calories. Plus the flavor of your choice. Vanilla is a good choice, and vanilla contains no calories either.

Ingredients:

0,5 liters cream (2 cups)
4-5 eggs
Sweetener (like Stevia, erythritol/Sukrin), about 1 cup
Flavor (vanilla, for instance, 1-2 teaspoons of vanillapowder)


Split the eggs, and whisk the egg-whites until stiff (or, just foamy works too). Whisk the cream with the sweetener, until it becomes stiff (whipped cream), and then add the egg yolks and the (vanilla) flavor. Then add the eggwhites. If you're making it to eat later in the evening, you can put it in 2 bowls (if you're 2 persons eating) and it's paobably done about 3 hours later. If you wait too long, it will be too hard to eat, so check it every half hour or so. Or, if you're making it for later and to keep in the freezer, I would recommend to put it in 4 smaller bowls, as you don't really need more than that per portion, it's pretty sweet. And in a smaller bowl it wouldn't take as long to soften. Take it out a little while before you're going to eat it, though, as it is harder than normal ice cream. If you want it for dessert after dinner, take it out when you cook dinner and let it sit and soften a little.


Here are some other ice cream recipes with ideas for different flavors (as allowed on low carb diet; you can use berries, or nuts, coffee, vanilla, dark chocolate 70% cocoa, ginger, green tea.. or mint!) (most of these recipes used only egg yolks, not egg white, and some don't use eggs at all, and some use yoghurt to make frozen yoghurt, so there's many different ways to make ice cream, however, my recipe above, I've made myself and thought tasted good):  http://www.makeicecream.com/recformakice.html

Salmon sushi


Eat sushi without the rice. Salmon that has been in the freezer for 5 days is safe. Take it out of the freezer a few hours before the meal, or put the frozen piece in the refrigerator the evening before to let it defrost.
Cut it in pieces, and eat with soy sauce, and avocado on the side, as well as cucumber if you want.

Salt, 1 teaspoon
Sweetener (Splenda, 2-3 tablespoons)

Vegetable drink (or purée if thicker)



Boil some broccoli and cauliflower to make them softer. Then mix in the blender with water, and some plain yoghurt too, if you want. Add some sweetener (Splenda, or other). Actually taste pretty good :)
Drink as a sweet drink after dinner, in the evening, for breakfast/lunch/inbetween meals, or drink with dinner (along with the chicken/fish/steak, protein part of dinner, instead of having vegetables on the side).

If you use less water, so it's thicker, you can use it as purée along with your dinner.

Low carb LASAGNE - yummy yummy yummy!!

This low carb lasagne (without the lasagne plates, but you can't tell the difference,
 it's just as good as regular lasagne!) is super-delicious! :-)


Ingredients:
Cheese
Ground beef
Tomatoes, chopped (can)
Pizza spice
Onion
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Salt & pepper
Chilli spice
Tabasco sauce
Locust bean gum
Almond flour
Whole milk
Butter
Olive oil

Make the white sauce by melting butter in a frying pan (not too high heat, and don't let it get brown, just barely melt). Add a teaspoon of the Locust bean gum powder, and use two spoons of almond flour, use a wisp. Add little by little some milk, stir (while medium heat), add some more milk, just a little at a time. When you have enough sauce, stir while on heat until it thickens. When done, put aside. Then brown the ground beef in a frying pan (with some olive oil, or butter), and add salt, pepper, pizza spice, chilli spice, a few dashes of Tabasco sauce, the chopped tomatoes, and chopped onions. Boil the broccoli and cauliflower a few minutes to soften them (or not, if you prefer not to), then chop them in smaller pieces. Use some olive oil and smear out in the bottom and on the sides of the ovensafe casserole. Then start adding the layers in there. Start with the ground beef tomato sauce mix. Then add the vegetables, then the white sauce. Top with slices of cheese, then add another layer of ground beef (and some ketchup on top if you want), then cheese again, and put in the oven, on 375 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celcius) for about 15 minutes. Enjoy your dinner, it's super-delicious!








It's about 4 portions, so put the other portions aside, in your refrigerator, or in the freezer, and save for later. You can have it for breakfast again in the morning, or for lunch the next day, or as a low carb evening snack/meal if you get hungry again later in the evening.

Evening snack


This is a perfect low carb evening snack, and a good substitute for chips, as it tastes salty, but all protein (with some fat, which you need when you are on the low carb high fat diet).

Salmon with salad

Try this low carb meal for dinner.

Ingredients:
Salmon
Sweet chilli sauce
Soy sauce
Tabasco sauce
Ginger
Lettuce
Avocado
Feta cheese
Sugar peas
Cucumber

Mix some sweet chilli sauce (there's sugar in it, so only use a little.. or if you prefer, use olive oil with chilli spice and cayenne pepper in it instead), with a little bit of soy sauce and a few dashes of tacasco sauce. Chop ginger in tiny pieces (smaller than a pea), and put in the sauce (there's no sauce with the ginger on the picture above). Place the salmon in a pie dish or similar, and add the sauce on top. Heat in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celcius) for about 15 minutes. Mix the salad ingredients, and put the salmon on top when done. The gingersauce is very good! Adds a zest to the whole meal.
