Thanks for posting the link. I tried and made a cold greek quinoa salad and it was great. I cooked my quinoa in a rice cooker and it turned out perfect. Thank you!

I just googled low carb stuffed mushrooms and a lot of links came up.  This one had more than one recipe.

I haven't tried any of them

fat free ricotta and fat free cottage cheese have very little differences in nutritional value.  I think cottage cheese tastes better though.

Mock Calzone (Crustless Pizza)

Preheat Oven to 400.

Ingredients:

Canola Spray Oil

2 Cup bag of Sargento 4 Blend Reduced Fat Italian Cheese

10 oz. of Hunts Zesty and Spicy Spaghetti Sauce

1/2 Cup Egg Beaters

1 Cup of 2% Cottage Cheese

10 oz. of Frozen Spinach thawed and completely drained

 

In a mixing bowl combine spinach and cottage cheese with a fork till blended evenly, add the eggbeaters, 2 oz. of the sauce, and 1/2 cup of the cheese.  Continue blending till fully incorporated.  Turn out onto a metal baking pan that has been sprayed with the canola spray.  You can shape the mixture round or square, doesn't matter.  Make sure the mixture is of an even thickness in the pan with no holes or gaps.

Top with remaining cheese and drizzle with remaining sauce. 

Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is golden and bubbly.

Allow to cool before cutting into. 

Its extremely filling, I suggest cutting into 8 servings. 

Will hold up in fridge for at least a week. 

I cut mine and wrap up in foil packets to take to work for a meal.

Delicious Cold or Room Temperature.

 

Variation is Crustless Pizza

Leave out the Cottage Cheese

Replace Hunts Zesty and Spicy Spaghetti Sauce with Classico Spicy Tomato & Pesto Sauce

Follow the same instructions and quantities.

Some days your the dog and some days your the hydrant.

Here's what I've been living on for the past week.  (just one more week to go!)

Chicken and Pinto Bean Stew

1/2 ground chicken
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/4 tsp chopped garlic
1-2 Tbs olive oil
1 can stewed tomatoes
chicken broth
1 can pinto beans
Seasonings to your taste (I use worchestershire, La. hot sauce, chili powder, salt & pepper)
1 bay leaf

Lightly brown chicken, onion, bell pepper and garlic in olive oil.  Add stewed tomatoes and chicken broth.  (I filled the empty can with chicken broth and added that much liquid, but you can judge how much more/less  you might need.)  Add bay leaf and seasonings.  Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer about 30 minutes.  Add pinto beans, heat through. 

Very easy to prepare and I've had no problems with this dish on the soft food diet.
