Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Buffalo Stuffed Chicken (IF)

I wanted to release quick, easy Induction friendly recipe perfect for the grill and a lot less time than some of my recipes. This combines all the flavors of great Buffalo wings and my stuffed hamburger recipe together. I would encourage you to try it tonight. If you don’t have a food processor, you can use ground chicken instead. If cooking indoors, you might want to use a George Foreman grill or a good non-stick pan as the chicken will tend to stick.

Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Whoopie Pies (E-IF)

I was turned on to these treats watching late night shows on the Food Network channel, and I was pretty sure I could make this low carb. After a couple days of trying, I hit upon a winner, and my wife agreed it was ready for prime time. These Whoopie Pies get their name from supposedly Pennsylvania or North Eastern farmer wives who packed these pies into their husband lunch pails, and when the husband discovered them he cried “Whoopie!” Either way they are delicious, and I’d urge you to try them out.

Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Chocolate Chia Pudding (E-IF)

I have been making a lot of low carb puddings recently from Chia seeds from banana to cherry for me to chocolate for my wife.  Chia seeds have some definite health benefits and also work well in thickening sauces. Here are some of the health benefits of chia seeds:

** Help weight loss. Chia seeds are popular for weight loss. They reduce food cravings by preventing some of the food that you eat from getting absorbed into your system. This blockage of calorie absorption makes them a great diet helper.
** Feel fuller faster: They can also help your diet by making you feel full. This is because they absorb 10 times their weight in water, forming a bulky gel.
** Hydration for athletes: They are also great for athletes because the “chia gel” can hydrate the body.
** Reduce your blood pressure: There’s evidence to suggest they can reduce blood pressure.
** Omega-3: They are the richest plant source of Omega-3 (the vital fats that protect against inflammation—such as arthritis—and heart disease). In fact, they contain more Omega-3 than salmon!
** Benefits for diabetes: Because chia seeds slow down how fast our bodies convert carbohydrates into simple sugars, studies indicate they can control blood sugar. This leads scientists to believe chia seeds may have great benefits for diabetics.

Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb “Smoked” Pulled Pork (IF)

I am a huge fan of barbecue cooking and smoked meats, but I don’t have two things — a smoker or the patience to sit with the smoker and ensure a constant temp. This recipe solves that situation by infusing a ton of some flavor into the pork roast through the brine and utilizes the oven to gradually cook the roast. While this recipe may take 12+ hours to cook, I spent only about 20 minutes actual time in the kitchen. It is somewhat the ultimate in the “Set it and Forget it” type recipes to quote Ron Popeil. This is the same recipe I prepared for Tasha’s graduation party, which received rave reviews. Some attendees said it was better than other BBQ food prepared at other parties, including legendary Hickory Park BBQ joint in Ames.

Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb “Smoked” Pulled Pork (IF)

Prep Time: 4 hours, 5 minutes

Cook Time: 8 hours, 00 minute

Total Time: 12 hours, 5 minutes

Yield: 10-20 Servings

Serving Size: 6 oz of pork

An awesome pork roast with all the flavor of a BBQ smokehouse, but none of the babysitting or requirement for smoke.

Ingredients

• 8-10# pork roast (picnic or Boston butt)
• 1/4 cup dry rib rub
Brine
• 2 qts Water
• 1/2 cup salt
• 1/4 cup dry rib rub
• 2 tbsp liquid smoke

Instructions

1. Butterfly the pork roast along the bone to increase the surface area.
2. In a medium pot on the stove, dissolve salt into the water. Add the dry rib rub and liquid smoke. Remove from heat, and add ice as needed to cool the brine.
3. In a cooler, place the rib roast. Pour the brine over the roast and ensure it is covered. Refrigerate 4 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 275F. Remove roast from brine, and pat dry with paper towels. Add dry rub to the inside of roast, and the top. Wrap with two sheets of aluminum foil in opposite directions, and place in oven for 6 hours.
5. Once the roast reaches an internal temp 180F, remove the the aluminum foil from the top of the roast. Bake in oven for another 2 hours to develop a good "bark" or crust on the outside of the roast.
