I’m always looking for easy, low stress recipes to help me stay on track. Even though I love to cook, sometimes I just wanna eat! Sound familiar? Well, I decided to make a post with all my favorite “no recipe” meals so I would have them all in one place. Most of these recipes require pretty basic ingredients. Check them out and add to your grocery list the items you don’t normally keep on hand. Then you can tackle the week with fork in hand and low carb confidence ~(insert picture of yourself on a mountain top looking superhero-like).
1.Patty Melt Wraps- cook up a pan of cheeseburgers and wrap them in lettuce leaves instead of buns.
2.Grilled Chicken Salad- grill chicken tenders and add to salad bowl of lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, low carb dressing. Top with a few avocado chunks if desired.
3.Baked Fish and Oriental Salad- season fish filets with old bay seasoning and bake at 400 degrees until cooked -about 20 minutes.
Add low carb Asian dressing to a bag of slaw mix- toss in a few roasted chopped peanuts and toasted crushed ramen noodles for crunch as desired.
4.Zoodles and Meatsauce- brown ground beef or ground turkey and add low carb spaghetti sauce or a can or seasoned tomatoes. Serve over a bed of zucchini noodles. Top with parmesan cheese as desired.
