I've not long joined this forum and have just come across this thread! Eeekk... I'm so excited to get going on some of these recipes and planning meals. I move in with my OH in just over a week, so was going to be planning meals anyway. He is slowly turning veggie (yay!) and wants to lose weight, so these will be perfect for us both! Thank you so much for putting this together @purplekat xxx

This sounds awesome. I have yet to meet an avocado I don't like. I always think of blending it but I just love my guac breakfast. I do mix my guac with turkey and green beans and mushrooms but I never blended it. I also haven't met any broccoli I don't like but roasted is always my fav
Not authentic but very nice nonetheless LOW CARB VEGETARIAN OKONOMIYAKI (Japanese Savoury Pancakes/Omelettes) Makes 10 - 12 pikelet sized okonomiyaki INGREDIENTS 320gms chopped green cabbage 200gm grated or spiralised & chopped zucchini 100 gm grated carrot 4 spring onions, thinly sliced 110gm almond meal 2 TBS (20ml) coconut flour mixed with 1/2 tsp baking powder 6 eggs 2 TBS (20ml) tamari 2 TBS (20ml) sesame oil 2 TBS (20ml) sweet chilli sauce (I used chipotle sauce with a few drops of stevia) Cooking oil of choice Avocado mashed with wasabi & mayo to serve METHOD Add oil to frypan & bring to a medium heat. Beat the eggs with the tamari, sesame oil & chilli sauce. Add the almond meal & coconut flour/baking powder to eggs stir to combine. Add the vegetables & mix well. Panfry pikelet sized amounts (lets say a scant quarter cup or scant ladles worth) until bubbles appear & underside is lightly browned. Gently flip & cook the others side. Original recipe from here http://food.ninemsn.com.au/recipes/icabbage/9017097/low-carb-japanese-pancakes Made a couple of changes but nothing too drastic. Added carrot (cause I like it) & also some coconut flour/baking powder as the eggs I used were rather large & the mixture a little tricky to work with.
Made these little lovelies largely because I had some leftover ricotta that needed using - they were better than the recipe I had originally needed the ricotta for Subbed vintage cheddar for the parmesan but may try haloumi next time. Also added only a pinch of salt (versus the 1 tsp called for in original recipe). They are very delicate & a bit tricky to turn in the pan but oh so worth it. Lemon Ricotta Gnocchi (Pan Fried) Recipe from here http://divaliciousrecipes.com/2011/09/12/lemon-ricotta-gnocchi-pan-fried-2/ INGREDIENTS 1 cup Ricotta cheese 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 egg yolk Zest of one lemon 1 tspn salt 2 tblspn coconut flour 1 tblspn parsley, chopped 2 tbslpn butter 1 tblspn olive oil METHOD Combine the Ricotta, Parmesan, egg yolk, lemon zest, parsley and salt in a bowl and mix well. Add the coconut flour and combine well. Take small amounts of the dough and roll into pieces, about the side of a walnut and flatten. Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan. Add the Gnocchi and fry on each side for 2 minutes, until golden brown. Serve with a sprinkling of lemon zest, parsley and Parmesan. Eat and enjoy!
I'll admit to not liking green tea ... and when I first read this I immediately thought, use as lavaotory cleaner?
I regularly use this list of ingredients without the eggs and cheese for a vegetable dish cooked on the top of the stove - nice with a portion of broad beans.
My favourites soups are mushroom celery and celeriac tomato and basil Maybe have a quick google to find a recipe that suits your preferred carbiness and creaminess.
I tend to just make up soups according to what vegetables are available - but because I don't usually have cream in the fridge, I'd completely forgotten about it as a possible ingredient! Thanks for the reminder.
