Plans for Protein

I'm not just done to jump into things.  I have to give things a great deal of thought and preparation.

I've been thinking about the protein aspect, and what I have in my freezer an how that can be turned into dishes I like.

Steak -- I love steak, and I think in moderation it can be a good meal.  It has a lot of iron and frankly it's tasty.  I love it with mushrooms on top!

Pork chops -- These are pretty stocked in my freezer because they've been so cheap lately!  I like to cook them with a little balsamic vinegar.  Yum.

Shrimp -- I don't know if I have any, but they are such a great snack.  Just need to find some cocktail sauce that is without sugar.... which I have done before.

Sausage -- I love the chicken sausage from sprouts.  I am hoping we'll have some tomatoes from the garden and I make a sauce out of those and combine with the sausage for a yummy meal.  Maybe add some roasted cauliflower... yum.  I can also make some pasta for the kids.  I'm not a huge pasta fan, more of a sauce fan -- so if I put that over the cauliflower and I'm 90% sure I'll be just as satisfied. :)

Eggs -- I love veggie fritatas.... love finding what's in the fridge and throwing it in.

The problem with a no-carb diet is the fact that cheese is totally in-limits and I'm going to have to be careful with that one.  I love my cheese.  I mean, L-O-V-E and I don't think that a low carb diet is healthy when you're using cheese and pork rinds as substitutes.

What about you, what do you like to eat when you're emphasizing proteins?
