Hello friends,
It's been a while since I've updated my blog, although I have been working on many delicious healthy recipes, and have some inspiring writings, and movie recommendations I'd like to eventually share on my blog; all in good time. Since I have a moment I wanted to post a recipe I prepared for tonight's dinner:
Turnip Au gratin with Chicken Friend Steak, a low carb and healthy version of your typical steak and potatoes meal. This meal total has only 9 net carbs per serving, and I'm thrilled about that since I've lowered carbs out of my diet my eliminating simple carbs, also known as white carbs like potatoes, rice, cereals, etc.
In just 2 weeks, I've dropped 15 pounds, and for the first time since I can remember completed 10 military style push-ups, so needless to say what I've been doing has been working nicely for me. Please note that I am not on a quest to lose weight, but along with my diet it's been a wonderful plus and advantage for me. Please also note that I drink 6-8 full glasses of water per day, and do yoga and core exercise about 20 min per day as well as take multi vitamins.
Not to interrupt myself, but let me please share my recipe with you!
Turnip Au gratin:
2 turnips, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin)
layer turnips with real butter, thinly slices of onion, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese until the baking dish is halfway full from the top. Pour about 1/4 cup of heavy cream, then top with bacon, cover in foil and bake in a 400 degree oven for 25 min. Uncover and bake for 5 so the dish can nicely brown.
Chicken Fried Steak:
Heat up 1/4 cup of grape seed oil in a skillet (about Medium heat)
In a dish, place 2 eggs and 2 tablespoons of milk; whip
in a separate dish, place about 1 1/2 cups of almond flour. Add 1 tsp of salt, 2 tsp of pepper, and garlic powder; stir.
Place the pieces of round steak in the egg mixture, then flour mixture and directly into the hot skillet of oil (make sure the oil is hot). Brown the round steak on both sides and let rest on paper napkins to soak up extra grease. Serve with a fresh tossed salad.
Meals such as this have helped me drop considerable weight and given me energy, but I've come to realize it's not so much what I'm eating...it's what I'm NOT eating. I am addicted to carbs in all forms, especially simple carbs found in orange juice, cakes, potato chips, ice cream, etc. I already love veggies and fruits in all their forms, and previously dropped 20 pounds through juicing in the past year. I've come to realize that the only way to kick the habit is to eliminate simple carbs from my diet, then slowly reintroduce complex carbs such as fruits, and other healthy & delicious foods in moderation to live a healthy balanced life.
