Ingredients:
2 small bags prepared shiritake noodles
1tbsp butter
1tbsp grated parmesan cheese
6 Kalamata olives, sliced
1/2 portobello mushroom, diced
20 medium shrimp, peeled and deviened
2tbsp kraft light sour cream

Cook everything together except sour cream, and add sour cream at the end to make a sauce. Garnish with salt, pepper, and chili flakes.

Counts for whole recipe:
401 calories/21.5g fat/13.87g carbs/3.8g fiber/10.07g net carbs

I know that seems like a high carb count for one meal, but I had plenty to spare yesterday. You could omit the onion/tomato/sour cream and the carbs would be 7.46g total. I just added them because I had plenty to spare.

Fish Tacos




The ricotta shells are about 1/2 cup ricotta cheese and 4 eggs. Mix it all very well, I put a little garlic powder in them, and it makes about 8 shells. Don't grease the pan, put the batter in a very hot non stick pan and coat the bottom, like you would a crepe. Let it cook and get very brown so it doesn't tear when you try to flip it.

I would say it's about 2-3 tbsp of batter per "shell".

I used 1 Gortons garlic butter tilapia filet for both, a little shredded romaine (I didn't have cabbage), some sliced green onions, and the sirracha mayo (4tbsp light mayo, 1tbsp sirracha hot sauce for the base sauce, I didn't use that much obviously.)

The whole meal had:

Lemon Custard "tart" on WPP/Almond Flour Crust


Lemon Custard "tart" on whey protein/almond flour crust:


Ingredients:
2 servings almond flour (1/2 cup)
2 servings syntrax vanilla whey protein powder (2/3 cup)
2 servings great value butter (2tbsp)
2 servings silk almond milk (2 cups)
2 serving Lemon kool aid packets
1 large egg
2 large egg yolk
3 tbsps lemon juice
1.5tbsp glucomannan powder
1-drop EZ sweets for the crust
About 10 drops EZ Sweets for the filling (I just kept tasting until it was as sweet as I like)

Mix protein powder and almond flour well, add 1 drop EZ Sweets, and add 2tbsp melted butter. Mix well. It will be dry. Add a few tbsp of water until it is mixed and workable. Put in an 8" pie pan and spread out over bottom and up the sides. Bake in a 350 oven for about 8-10 minutes.

Put all other ingredients in a bowl, except glucomannan powder, mix well. With an electric mixer, hand mixer, or whisk, slowly add the glucc powder and mix for 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken up. Pour in the crust and bake at 350 until center is set (about 25 minutes). (You will have left over filling, I baked those in cupcake tins without a crust)
