Wow Michelle! That is so cool about your HGB A1c. It sounds like you have your diet well controlled.

First, congrats to all for working with the significant other's diet diversity and upholding yours.

I thought about this problem.
1) Please send me his veggies I will eat them.
2) Lyssie has it right:

No shirt
No shoes
No veggies
No entry.

Aha good he is eating flax seed and the other stuff. The husks are good.

There is no way I will get him to eat veggies. As I said he is a grown man in his 40's and he has done without them this long. I made a meat loaf tonight that had flax seed powder in it. We will be looking at ways to add the flax in more.

Thanks for all the replies.

hahaha. I would like some meatloaf as well. Having been raised vegetarian, it's a food I really like but it kind of grosses me out to actually make.

Meat loaf had 23 carbs total by fitday when I inputed all the ingredients. I didnt minus the fiber so it will be less carbs than that. I use the 73%-80% hamburger meat because lean meat on the meat loaf is tougher to eat. He didnt even know it had the flax in it. I couldn't tell either.

Here is what I did.

3.4 lbs of hamburger 0 carbs
herbs and spices 0 carbs ( garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasonings, salt and pepper)
6 tbsp low carb ketchup 6 carbs
4 tbsp flax seed powder 8 carbs 8 fiber
2 eggs 1.2 carbs
2.5 cups shredded cheese
4tbsp Worcestershire sauce 4 carbs

Put hamburger in large bowl, mix in spices and herbs, 4 tbsp low carb ketchup, 4 tbsp flax powder, 2eggs, 4tbsp of worcestershire sauce.

Lay out long peice of wax paper/foil and dump the mixture on it. Flatten out into a long square about 1/2 - 3/4 inch thick. Once flatten sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheese evenly over the meat. ( note: you can stuff other ingredients inside at this time, I have used olives, onions, pepperoni, mushrooms ) After cheese is on fold one end over, then fold over again or you can roll it like you would a jelly roll. Tuck in the ends to seal bake at 400 degrees until done. Usually 35-45 mins. 5 mins before taking out top with 2 tbsp of low carb ketchup and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.

This can be made up ahead of time and frozen. It actually keeps more of the cheese inside when done that way as it cooks from the outside in.

Enjoy

Note: this is my usual meatloaf I just tweaked it for atkins. I usually add A1 sauce, can speg sauce instead of the low carb ketchup and more Worcestershire sauce but this turned out just as good.

Mmmm, that meatloaf sounds yummy!!

You know I was thinking about you the other day and this book came to mind...I don't know if you ever heard of it "Deceptively Delicious" by Jessica Seinfeld. Well it's a bunch of recipes with veggies hidden in them...I have had a few of these recipes from a friend of mine who's kids wouldn't touch veggies with a 10 foot pole...lol Well, if she hadn't told me I wouldn't have known any difference!! I'm sure you could turn a lot of these recipes into low carb friendly ones...

She uses fresh veggies in her recipes and makes a puree out of them, so there is no texture to the veggies when you eat them.

here is the link if you are interested:
Deceptively Delicious - Get Your Kids Eating Good Food!

I just added a recipe from her site as an example, and tweaked it a little to make it low carb by replacing the bread crumbs with powdered parmesan cheese. I have coated chicken like this and it works good to fry up!

Chicken Nuggets
Ingredients:


Serves 4

  • 1 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup flaxseed meal
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup broccoli or spinach or beet puree
  • 1 large egg , lightly beaten
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken tenders , rinsed, dried and cut into small chunks
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
In a bowl, combine the parmesan, flaxseed meal, paprika, garlic and onion powder on the paper or foil and mix well with your fingers.

In a shallow bowl, mix the vegetable puree and egg with a fork and set the bowl next to the breadcrumb mixture.

Sprinkle the chicken chunks with the salt. Dip the chunks into the egg mixture and then toss them in the 'breadcrumbs' until completely coated.

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the oil. Place the chicken nuggets in the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to crowd the pan, and cook until crisp and golden on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Then turn and cook until the chicken is cooked through, golden brown and crisp all over, 4 to 5 minutes longer. (Cut through a piece to check that it's cooked through.) Serve warm.

Thanks for the book tip. I will check it out and see what I can get him to eat!

Yes, the stuffed meatloaf is very good. I am cooking cabbage fried in bacon drippings as we speak. I love fried cabbage!!
