In this Induction-friendly recipe video, I demonstrate one of the most versatile side dishes or main dishes on the Low Carb lifestyle. From Chinese main meal or accompaniment to an Italian replacement for pasta, this faux rice recipe is versatile to say the least. Note: for the Italian alternative, I would eliminate the Chinese flavorings (Soy Sauce, meat, sesame oil, and egg) in favor of more garlic and Italian seasoning and spices. For Induction, you are limited to 1 cup of Cauliflower per day.
This recipe was developed from the original at Linda’s Low Carb recipe site. (http://genaw.com/lowcarb/fried_rice.html)
Here is the ingredients:
2 TBS Cooking oil
4 slices Bacon
1 Medium Size head of Cauliflower (~2 pounds), grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 oz of Ham
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 egg, beaten
4 green onions, chopped
Black Pepper to taste
* Heat the oil and bacon in large skillet until bacon is slightly browned.
* Grate Cauliflower in Food Processor
* Add Cauliflower, Ham, and Garlic and cook until the cauliflower begins to stick (internal water is evaporated) and getting browned
* Add Soy Sauce and Sesame Oil, heat for 1-2 minutes
* Drag Cauliflower to half of the pan
* Cook beaten egg until scrambled, and mix with Cauliflower mixture.
* Add Green Onion, and Pepper to taste
* Cook 4-5 more minutes
Makes 6 servings

These wings are some of the best reasons to go on the Atkins Diet. They are completely legal for all phases of the diet and absolutely delicious. The Diet Coke is a unique ingredient, but it really does the trick. I think by adding the wings to the simmering sauce, the collagen helps thicken the sauce as well.
Ingredients
3 pounds chicken wings, separated at joints, tips discarded
1 cup Louisiana-style hot sauce (Franks Hot Sauce recommended)
1 can Diet Coke with Splenda
1 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 tsp ground black pepper, or to taste
1/2 tsp Thyme
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 TBS Dried Chopped Onions
Instructions:
* Cut the wings into pieces.
* Mix other ingredients into large pot and start simmering.
* Add wings to pot to give flavor
* Heat Oil to 350-375F degrees
* Add wings to fryer and cook until done (12-14 minutes)
* Add wings back to Buffalo sauce and coat thoroughly

My second cooking show on how to make low carb comfort foods. Fauxtatoes are a great dish to have at Thanksgiving or for those who typically have to fight to get their veggies. A couple of my kids and my wife even make cameo appearances in this video. It’s the least I can do for all the taste testing I make them endure as I try new recipes. My non-low-carbing family members even like this recipe as an alternative to starchy mashed potatoes.
Try this recipe; I think it’ll be a hit with you as well!
Recipe:
1 Head Cauliflower
2.5 TBS Butter
1/3 cup Heavy Cream
1 Chicken Bouillon cube
1 tsp salt
White pepper to taste
Directions:
* Cook Cauliflower until fork tender. Drain well.
* Place cooked cauliflower and other ingredients (crush bouillon cube first) into the food processor. Run on high until consistency of mashed potatoes. You may need to scrape the sides of the bowl a couple times to prevent lumps.

** Watch HD version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF2Tk0GFO9k&fmt=22 **
What better use for a HD Camera than to use it for a cooking video, and this just happens to be one of the absolute simplest low carb treats you can make. Today’s recipe is Low Carb Chocolate Covered Peanuts or Chocolate Bark for those still on Induction.
The only difficult thing is finding the Coconut Oil — Super Wal-mart sells a good brand for day to day cooking needs. The Recipe is:
1/4 cup of Coconut Oil
1 packet of Truvia or Artifical Sweetener (liquid Splenda is fine) – **update from recording
1.5 TBS Cocoa Powder
1 oz Peanuts (optional)
Mix together, and spread into lined loaf pan. Freeze for 5-10 minutes or until ready to eat. Makes 4 servings.
Info with Liquid Splenda:
Calories- 178, Fat- 18g, Carbs- 3 (1g Fiber), Protein- 2g
**Truvia Net Carbs would be higher due to the Erythitol

Is eating out at restaurants possible on Atkins Diet or while low carbing? I certainly go out to eat a few times each week and can say conclusively there are a number of options for low carb’ers when eating out. The most important thing is to not be shy with servers about questions about the menu or in asking for substitutions.
Here are some of my favorites:
* Buffets – go to high quality, and stay away from anything breaded, sauced, or full of non-legal ingredients
* Salad Bars / Deli’s – nothing better than a fresh vegetable deli – watch for high carb dressings or highly processed deli meats
* Brazilian Steak Houses – stay away from the bean dishes or the potato-filled side dishes
* Mongolian Grills – caution on the sauce – research before hand; oils, garlic, and spices should be fine
* Mexican – fajitas without the beans, rice, or tortillas – yum!
* Wings Places — ask if the wings are naked or breaded
* American / Steakhouses / Burgers – just simply exchange high carb sides for vegetables, and ask for no bun
* Fast Food – get a high quality salad or simply ask for a burger / grilled chicken without the bun
These are just some of the options. It would be hard to find a restaurant without any possible options for the low carber to partake. You might have to ask a few questions than other diners, and be sure to tip well and patronize those places which go out of their way to accommodate you.

I performed my first low carb cooking demonstration and showed the world the wonders of the mock danish. Mock danishes were one of the new comfort foods that I learned how to cook and was used to kill cravings that threatened the diet early on. Some qualifications for Kent’s comfort foods were it had to be both easy and quick to make, and it could not have a lot of ingredients to prep. Most of the recipes, I will be demonstrating have my seal of approval for taste and ease in preparation. 
Here is the Mock Danish recipe:
2 oz Cream Cheese, softened
1 egg
1.5 – 2 tsp Splenda (**count against artificial sweetener count for the day)
1/2 tsp Vanilla
1 TBS Ground Flax meal (optional)
Topping
1 TBS Butter
.5 tsp Splenda
Dash Cinnamon
