| Sheila's 20-Carb Veggie Platter Perfect for busy Inductioners! 1 mini cucumber, sliced 1 8-ounce package button mushrooms, sliced 1 cup cherry tomatoes Don't forget the dip! (I use Hidden Valley Ranch packets made with heavy cream instead of milk!) This is a simple, beautiful little platter that's the perfect way to meet your Induction veggie quota. Great to snack on while watching TV or if you're always on the run like me! |

Whip this decadent shake together & watch even the fiercest cravings just melt away ... you'll swear you're at Braum's! 6 grams of fiber. I sometimes have one of these before bed if cravings are getting to me ... ½ cup pasteurized eggs (Or raw eggs - my preference - at your own risk) 1 ounce heavy cream 2 scoops protein powder (I love Cookie-type flavors!) 1 (3-oz.) cube cream cheese, softened 3 T organic flax seed meal 2 handfuls of ice cubes (Any more will cause it to taste icy rather than ice-creamy) Large shake straw (I haggle a big box of these at Sonic for just $3) Blend together for 30 seconds & enjoy. Delightfully fills a 28-ounce aluminum tumbler all the way to the brim ... Let me know how you like it!! * For an even longer-lasting treat: Using a popsicle kit, one shake will go an extremely long way in making homemade low-carb fudgesicles. |

| Sheila's Black-Bottomed Broccoli Stir-Fry Approximately 16 total carbs for entire recipe - and 8 grams of fiber! 1 thin boneless chicken breast, diced up 1 (12-oz.) package fresh Induction-friendly stir-fry vegetables (Broccoli is my favorite veggie for stir-fry.) Butter to taste Onion (minced/powder/fresh) to taste Garlic (minced/powder/fresh) to taste Pepper to taste Dice up chicken; add to heated Wok layered with a good amount of extra-virgin olive oil. I keep my heat between 4 & 5, but this can vary. Flip once sides are very lightly browned. Add 12-ounce bag (or 2 bags for 18 grams of fiber) of broccoli, florets side down; then go nuts adding your pepper, onion, & garlic to taste. This goes on for at least 20 minutes - I love my florets crunchy & full of flavor. This quick meal tastes incredible & is perfect for meeting your Induction veggie quota! I just love how the broccoli florets soak up the scrumptious olive oil, butter, onion, & garlic flavor, & I eat every drop of what is in the pan - and never without chopsticks! 2 sets of photos below: once ingredients have been added, & the finished product. Sometimes I add 2 bags of broccoli for 16 grams of fiber. |
| Crispy Fried Chicken Nuggets Approximately 4 total carbs for entire recipe Induction-friendly! Great with Mock Mash Potatoes!!! 2-3 chicken breasts, cut into chunks 4-5 eggs, whisked ½ cup grated Parmesan, tossed into Ziploc Immerse chicken chunks in egg mixture, transfer to Ziploc (coating them well), then move things along to pan filled halfway with oil. Heat kept at Medium-High. Move them around every few minutes so as to ensure the chicken is cooked evenly. Chicken is done once golden brown & stark-white on the inside - and looks almost "string-cheesy" when cut open. Enjoy - looks & tastes just like bread-fried chicken!! |

| Mom's Homemade Cheese Chips (My mom thought of this one - an Induction-friendly cheese-flavored chip you can enjoy with sour cream!) Small pinch of grated cheddar for each "chip" ½ tsp. onion powder ½ tsp. garlic powder Bake on cookie sheet at 400º for approximately 6 minutes until flat, hard, & crisp - not burned! Remove with spatula & place on paper towel. |

Preheat oven at 350º & rinse the 'shrooms! Remove stems from mushrooms & coat each with 1/4 cup canned diced tomatoes. Top with Mozzarella, then add pepperoni slices.

| Spaghetti Squash Approximately 12 total carbs for entire recipe - and Induction-friendly. 8 ounces spaghetti squash (best to use a food scale!) extra-virgin olive oil to taste ¼-½ cup Parmesan cheese Rinse squash, cut in half lengthwise, & remove seeds. Place squash side down in a large, Pam-sprayed casserole dish. Bake at 350º for 40-60 minutes, or until inside of squash is tender. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then scrape inside of squash with tines of a fork into pasta bowl. You'll really get a pasta effect. Stir in "pasta fixins," & you're all set. |

| Sheila's Deviled Eggs (Approximately 4 total carbs) © SugarFreeSheila.com 2009 6 eggs Mayo to taste (I add quite a bit in there!) 2 T dill pickle relish 1 T mustard Garlic to taste - powder, fresh, or minced Onion to taste - I use ¼ tsp. ½ tsp. paprika Hard-boil eggs. Cool & slice in half. Remove yolks & add these & remaining ingredients to a Ziploc bag. Seal bag & smash; really go at it until ingredients are combined well. Next, with scissors, snip a small corner of the bag. Now you are the pastry extraordinaire you've always wanted to be as you fill each "egg half" with the mixture - and how about that, with no cleanup afterward. Garnish with parsley & paprika. Enjoy! |

| October 22nd, 2008 - Camera phone alert! I roast a turkey breast every other week or so for dinner. Such a nice change from chicken, & there's nothing to it: just toss it in there at 325ºF (163ºC) & take it out once the thickest part registers 160ºF (71ºC)! Plus, leftover turkey feeds others in the household in the day or two thereafter. |

| SFS Chicken Kelp Noodle Stir-Fry Chicken breasts, cut into chunks 12-oz. bag kelp noodles (3 total carbs) Bag of stir-fry veggies consisting of broccoli, snowpeas, bean sprouts, carrots (20 carbs) Extra-virgin olive oil Lots of butter Pepper, garlic, onion ½ tsp. (i.e., 3 sprays) of Bragg Liquid Aminos |
I sometimes use a pastry tip with the Ziploc to administer the yolks.
| SugarFreeSheila's 20-CARB CHOCOLATE PROTEIN BROWNIES 20-22 total carbs for entire batch 2 heaping cups chocolate protein powder (Optimum Nutrition Casein in Chocolate Supreme is a fave) 1½ cups unsweetened "milk" sub (Coconut, almond, hemp. Look for 1-2 carbs/cup) 3 eggs Transfer mixture to cooking-sprayed 9" pan. 350º (i.e., 175ºC) for 40-45 minutes. Ovens vary, so make sure a toothpick or fork prong comes out clean. Allow to cool as long as you can before digging in. These are also good chilled. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Note: Of course you can dress up a recipe like this by adding things like unsweetened coconut or cream cheese to it, peanut butter on top, and so forth. But the objective for this particular protein brownie was not only to have something tasty on hand that is also low-carb, but to make that carb count as miniscule as possible - and I'd say at roughly 21 carbs a batch, this qualifies. Your personal per-brownie carb count will of course depend on how you divvy up the brownies. Is this recipe safe for Induction? Well, here's the finite list of allowable foods straight from the text so you can make the call. Tip: If you have a lame-tasting protein powder you're trying to get rid of (we've all been there), you can add a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder for an extra 3 total carbs to help "choclify" the recipe. Tip II: There are lower carb protein powders out there; but I chose the aforementioned 3-carbs-per-scoop protein powder because it's the best chocolate one I've tried. Tip III: If you decide to use heavy cream instead of coconut/almond/hemp milk, use TWO CUPS - and bump baking time up to approximately 45 minutes. This renders my recipe 30.84 total carbs for the entire batch. If you ask me, though: using heavy cream only has the brownies tasting a trifle better - not quite enough to merit the 50% carb increase. Your choice. Enjoy! |
| SFS Parmesan-Roasted Eggplant 1 whole eggplant - either sliced or chunked olive oil to taste 4T grated Parmesan Directions: Drizzle lightly with olive oil. Top with Parmesan. Roast at 350º for 45 minutes. Simple! There's something about that olive oil/Parmesan combination that completely satisfies any cravings I might have for pasta. Plus eggplant has a very impressive amount of fiber and the most unusual, delicious, "meaty" texture. It's even excellent raw as makeshift chips. I just adore eggplant. |
| SugarFreeSheila's Chocolate Sunflower Seed Butter Fudge Here's the original recipe. Below is my revamped version, originally created for my nut-allergic niece - but it ended up being great in its own right! 1 stick butter 1 jar sunflower seed butter. (No measuring required AND it pours right out. Love that!) 4 oz cream cheese - i.e., half the block. 2 cups granular Splenda 3 scoops of your favorite chocolate protein powder Directions: Melt first 3 ingredients in mixing bowl. Incorporate Splenda & protein powder, mixing thoroughly. Transfer to 8x8 pan. Freeze. Note: For presentation and for fast clean-up once they've been gobbled up, I like to cut up the fudge in cubes and placing them in a little wax paper-lined square lidded tin container. Dollar stores. |

| Sheila's Low-Carb Butter Cream Toffee Ice Cream (5.3 total carbs for batch) You must have heard about low-carb ice cream. I sure have. Well, I wanted a piece of the action, so I picked up a $25 Hamilton Beach ice cream maker at Target. After 10 minutes of self-churning, this is the result. I think it's fabulous.
If you have a similar ice cream maker: thoroughly chill ice cream mixture in one bowl in fridge, & keep empty ice cream maker's bowl separate in the freezer for 8+ hours. When you're ready to actually go for it, simply transfer the former to the latter, turn on the churn for 6-15 minutes depending on volume, & that's it. Can you make this without an ice cream maker? You bet. Note: You can add all sorts of things to low-carb ice cream like Splenda, unsweetened coconut, unsweetened cocoa powder, nut butters, almond bits, berries, crushed low-carb cookies, sugar-free chocolate syrup on top - and all drive up the carb count. I'll be experimenting big time with this fun little maker, but my objective with this particular recipe was to make a great-tasting ice cream treat that did the least carb damage. Enjoy! |
| SFS Chocolate Protein Poppers Entire batch 15 total carbs; 3 net 4T unrefined coconut oil 4T hulled hemp seed 1 scoop chocolate protein powder ½ tsp. vanilla extract Blend above ingredients throughly. Using a teaspoon, scoop out small portions and roll each into a ball. Chill in fridge for at least 20 minutes to allow to solidify. Sort of between chewy & crunchy, the texture of these reminds me of Whoppers a bit - and they're great as a snack throughout the day, or right after a workout. |
| Sugar-Free Sheila's Lemon-Lime Nojito 1 oz water (or rum if virgin not preferred) 4 T organic lemon juice not from concentrate 2 packets Splenda 2 handfuls ice 5 mint leaves Blend until smooth; garnish with a couple of mint leaves and lime slices. |
