I would like to see some as well. The only quick, kinda low carb meal I eat is a veggie wrap. I saute or steam some mix of veggies and warm a garlic pesto wrap. Once all is ready, I wrap together and eat.

My DH prefers lots of meat anyway with a meal, but usually it takes me some time to prepare.

I've found that just leaving out the starch in traditional recipes can open up a world of possibilies. You can make most Italian soups without rice, potatoes or pasta and they are just as good. Try this with fagioli:

http://www.chef2chef.net/featured_re...-bean_soup.php

Meatloaf pie:
Take your favorite meatloaf recpie and substitute in whole wheat crackers or whole wheat bread crumbs for white flour ones. Put mix in an glass pie plate. On top layer sweet potato fries. I put a layer of sliced onions in the bottom of mine since DH hates to eat onions, but likes the flavor it gives to the meat.

Chicken soup: I take one small chicken, rinsed, and put it in a pot of boiling water and broth mix to cover the meat. When chicken is fully cooked I remove to a cutting board and let cool. I debone and return meat to water and broth mix, salt and pepper to taste and add in lower carb veggies, some sage, oregano and parsley and one large onion, sliced. When pot is cool enough I put it in the fridge overnight. The next day I just take it out and boil until veggies are tender. Veggies I have used include carrots, peas (tender young peas are the best), kidney beans, corn and for a different taste whole tomatoes. You can also after deboning do the rest of the cooking in a crock pot if you want a more slow cooked flavor. If you are not avoiding fats, you can add in a whole or 1/2 stick of butter. If not add a few tablespoons of olive oil. You can also make dumplings out of whole wheat flour and drop them in, but whole wheat dumplings are probably not good if let to set overnight in the soup.

Hamburgers and hotdogs: I buy whole wheat buns and insetad of french fries we eat them with sweet potato fries or whole wheat onion rings.

Pizza: use whole wheat flour instead of white to make dough. Mix in garlic powder and a bit of oil into the dough as you knead it. Brush with olive oil and garlic powder before putting on sauce and toppings. You can do a calzone the same way. We buy whole wheat pastas which do well with most things. They are not good usually with just a butter and garlic sauce. For mac and cheese I buy the regular box kits and throw out the white flour noodles and use whole wheat noodles instead. You can if desperate use mushed up pig skins in meatloaf, but I wouldn't advise it. Interesting was about the best word I could come up with to describe the taste, lol.

Squash stuffed peppers:

Quiche: http://www.lowcarbnexus.com/recipes/quiche.html

I haven't tried all these recipes, but I've found chef2chef to be very consistant with showcasing excellent recipes. Lowcarb nexus usually has very good recipes that rotate on a pretty regular basis.

Check out this site - great recipes and a lot of them are very easy: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/

Also, try cooking your chicken in extra virgin coconut oil - It is SO good and the EVCO leaves you fuller longer.

I usually eat a protien and lots of veggies. I basically avoid the starchy sides. I found this fabulous pizza, it sounds kind of odd but it tastes wonderful.

enjoy and keep the ideas rolling
