Day 14 on Atkins 20

Father's Day was a blast with my family. My wife decided to really spoil me with some yummy low carb alternatives for all three meals. I am still trying to figure out the carb and calorie counts for each so I don't have my numbers below. I do have pictures and recipes for each though. I am pretty sure I might have went over a bit but not too far. Monday morning is weigh in day so this won't be long as I will be doing 2 posts today. I do have wonderful pics for each of these dishes though and if I can get the numbers on each I will amend this post later.

Here is breakfast

These are pancakes made from eggs and cream cheese. They were terrific! The syrup is a no sugar syrup with a few blueberries added in. The whipped cream is from heavy cream. This was quite a treat and very filling. Just 2 pancakes and I was full. This comes in at just 3.5 net grams of carbs. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients 2 Eggs 1/2 tsp Cinnamon 1 tsp Granulated sugar substitute 2 oz softened Cream cheese

Lunch was excellent as well

This is a pretty simple meal. Mix together canned chicken with mayonnaise, then cut up some tomatoes and romaine lettuce. topped with a little bit of ranch dressing as well. Very easy, very low carb and very yummy.

Dinner consisted of pork chops cooked in the the slow cooker with a cream cheese and mushroom sauce along with garlic mashed cauliflower. These pork chops were so tender they wouldn't even stay together long enough to get out of the slow cooker. The garlic mashed cauliflower was a favorite as well. Ingredients: 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 clove garlic, smashed, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon reduced-fat cream cheese, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Cook the florets in a bowl of water in the microwave or on a pot on the stove until tender. Strain and pat dry on a paper towel. Put florets and all other ingredients in the blender and blend until pureed. These taste a lot like potatoes but with more flavor. Definitely one of my new favorites!
