Topic: Cold Steak and Cucumber Salad With Ponzu

I am eating more protein so I eat less crap.  This means I sometimes eat steak for days - it's far more economical when you only eat 4 ounces.  I truly suffer, I tell you....

Anyway, I hate reheating steak so I've been making this.  It's amazing.  Ponzu is a vaguely citrus japanese sauce.  If you want to go vegetarian or save calories, you can make this dish with firm tofu.  I often will, after weighting and draining the tofu, slice it thin, top with shredded daikon, and then toss ponzu on top for a fast and low-calorie high protein meal.  It's got a lot of salt, but I need more salt apparently, so...

Here's the link to the recipe I used.

I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

Topic: Great Recipe Website!

A colleague shared with me the website skinnytaste.com.  I hadn't heard of it, but it's wonderful!  You can search by recipe types (gluten-free, low carb, pressure cooker, slow cooker....) and each recipe has a picture and nutrition info too.  I'm thinking of trying the reuben stuffed pork tenderloin (or maybe with chicken instead) this weekend, though I might try to reduce the fat content a bit more.

Topic: Paleo "Granola"

I missed granola, and regular granola is tres carby.  This "pseduo granola" was inspired by many a paleo and autoimmune diet website/recipe.  I use this to top yogurt or cottage cheese.

Toast lightly in coconut oil (or fat of choice) equal parts of:

1 part unsweetened coconut flakes 

1/3 part chia seeds

1 part chopped walnuts

1 part shelled pumpkin seeds

1/3 part sunflower seeds

1/3 part sesame seeds (optional)

a pinch of salt (more for larger quantities)

 

Optional spice mixes to add:

cinnamon & truvia

for savory topping I add curry powder or garlic & onion powder.  Great for savory cottage cheese!

pumpkin pie spice for fall!

Topic: Carb friendly bread

Bariatric bread

Servings 20 slices

Cook Time
30 minutes

Ingredients
1 1/2 Cup Almond Flour
6 Large eggs Separated
4 tbsp Butter melted
3 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar You can omit this. It only slightly improves the bread.
1 pinch salt

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375.
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Add Cream of Tartar to the whites and beat until soft peaks are achieved.
In a food processor combine the egg yolks, butter, almond flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until combined.
This will be a lumpy thick dough until the whites are added.
Add the beaten egg whites to the mixture and further process. Be careful not to over mix! Once the whites
are incorporated stop mixing. (If you do not have a food processor you can use a blender. You can try by
hand but it might be tough to pull off)
Pour mixture into a buttered 8x4 loaf pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Check with a toothpick to ensure the bread
is cooked through. Enjoy! 1 loaf makes 20 slices.

Totals per slice 90 calories, 2 carbs, 8 fat, 4 protein, 56 sodium
