Low Carb Cooking

Since I'm only working 2 days a week in the summer, I decided I should start cooking more.  When I was working and going to school I got out of the habit and hardly ever cooked.  This week I actually planned out 4 meals.  Since Karson is doing a low carb diet, I did my best to find meals that were low carb and something I would like too.  Here are 2 of the meals I made:

Chicken Divine (a family favorite)

2 pkgs. frozen broccoli florets

6 chicken breasts, cooked & boned

2 cans cream of chicken

1 cup mayonnaise

3 tsp. lemon juice

3/4 tsp. curry powder

1/2 cup toasted bread crumbs (I did not add b/c of carbs)

1 T. melted butter/margarine

generous dash of cayenne pepper

shredded cheddar cheese

garlic powder

Preheat oven at 350 degress.

Cook broccoli according to directions, drain and place in greased

9 x 13 baking dish.  Place chicken on top of broccoli (I cut into small pieces).  Sprinkle with garlic powder.  Mix soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry powder & cayenne together.  Pour over chicken.  Cover with shredded cheese & bread crumbs & sprinkle with melted butter.  Bake @ 350 for 30 minutes or until bubbling.  Can put together the day before and bake the next day. 

*Makes 6-8 servings

Since there are only 2 of us, we had it for dinner and then Karson had it in his lunch all week and I ate it one day for lunch too.  It gave us a lot of meals.  Good thing Karson really likes it.

                                      Grilled steak

I uses the top sirloin from HEB and seasoned steak with lemon pepper and Tony's Creole (my favorite).  Then I also marinated it with Cookwell & Co. garlic and molasses marinade for about an hour before Karson put it on the grill.  It was really yummy.
