A co-worker is on the Atkins diet and has a hard time with staying away from sweets and snacks. Does anyone have snack or dessert recipes I can share with her??

Surprised there are no follow-ups for such a long time! So, if you are still looking...

The Atkins web site has recipies and there are several very good low-carb cookbooks on the market with lots of good snacks. Also, low-carb is becoming so popular that you can find all kinds of very sweet tasting low-carb bars in many major drug stores and supermarkets. The Atkins and the Lowcarb.com website has a whole section on snacks that can be ordered on-line.

There are wonderful Russle Stover candies with less than 1 carb per piece. That helps a lot...
And suger free jello, whipped with powdered egg white equal to one egg....with either sour cream or whipped cream added.

RECIPE: Low Carb Cookbooks??
Q
Comments (2)
Here's a cookbook I've just gotten because I'm interested in using coconut flour, which is low-carb, high-fiber, and also gluten-free. "Cooking with Coconut Flour" by Bruce Fife, N.D. You can Google for coconut flour and purchase it off the Internet. Coconut flour contains the highest percentage of dietary fiber in comparison to other flours. This flour is ideally suited for low-carb diets. Coconut has three times as much fiber as it does digestible carbohydrate. Grainlady

I had this last night and it was very good. It's from lowcarbfriends.com MY BEEF STROGANHOFF (sic) by Kitryn Ellis 1 lb ground beef 1 pint sour cream 1 small onion rough chopped 1 large can or 12 fresh mushrooms sliced 1 tsp black pepper 3 beef boullion cubes 2 tbsp Worchestershire sauce salt to taste Brown beef with salt and pepper, add onion and mushrooms until soft, over low heat stir in sour cream and blend until smooth. Add boullion until dissolved, then add worchestershire. Blend until mixed and heated through. No need to serve over anything. Good just from the bowl!! Cooks notes - I made a vegetarian version using Morningstar Farms crumbles, Angostura worchestershire, and Telma beef flavor stock cubes. I added some tofu chunks - not enough as it turned out. A couple of cups would be about right. Teri

Well, I made the recipe tonight for dinner and it's a keeper, Ilene! I followed the recipe and for toppings, I used chopped yellow pepper, sliced mushrooms and sauted some spicy Italian sausage. I made it in a 8x11 pan, so I've got some for my lunch tomorrow as well. Thanks again for posting the recipe! Sue

I think I figured that a single Hershey's Kiss is 2.4 carbs and I'll have to check out those Russell Stover candies. Thanks, Linda. I've actually make some of the no carb chocolates posted on lowcarbfriends.com but the real stuff is soooo much better. And tell your friend to check out the health food bars. There are small, snack size chocolate bars with as little 2 net carbs.

For dessert, I like the sugar free puddings. And I often mix up this one from The South Beach Diet.

SOUTH BEACH RICOTTA CREMES
1/2 c. ricotta part-skim ricotta cheese
1/4 t. vanilla
1-2 pkts Splenda

You can add cocoa for flavor or substitute almond extract and add some almond slivers.
