Anyone have a good, low-carb recipe to share??

Halupkis:
Boil cabbage (let cool, then remove leaves to wrap these ingredients
Uncooked ground beef
Sauteed onions
Chopped green pepper
Optional (white or brown rice)
Wrap in boiled cabbage leaves, stack in big baking pot with layers of canned crushed tomatoes. Rinse out empty cans with water and use it to fill the pot about 1/2 way.
Put in oven and bake for 2-3hrs on 350 degrees.

This is an old family recipe that has the same taste as those Stoufers stuffed peppers you see in the freezer isle. But the only difference really is swapping green pepper for cabbage because it's easier to wrap.
You could swap it back and just stack them on a cookie sheet, using the green peppers as little "bowls" for the ingredients.
For lower fat you might want to get a super lean ground chicken or turkey. Or get chicken breast and cut it up real well.

I recommend stuffing peppers with quinoa. You should check out Veganomicon from your local library (or interlibrary loan system). There are recipes in there for roasting peppers and making quinoa.

For the quinoa, I substitute chickpeas with frozen veggies like corn, peas and chopped carrots. Quinoa needs to be rinsed before cooking, but then after that it cooks like rice. Once the quinoa and peppers are done, simply stuff the quinoa into the peppers and voila!

Quinoa is high in protein and very yummy. Plus, there are numerous ways to prep it and use it. You should try a search for quinoa recipes--you'll find many!

Hope this helps--enjoy!
