NO COOK SHRIMP CONCOCTION and the SUNDAE

 I was in a local $$ discount store wandering around looking for low carb possibilities. What can I get here to show people that it can be easy to do low carb and low cost.
My cupboard at home had the nutritional yeast, curry, nuts and seeds.The Spanish section of the store offered some fun ingredients to play with:
guacamole salsa
Giardiniera  (pickled mixed vegetables)
coconut milk


 I thawed the shrimp...poured the coconut milk (1/3 c.= 3gms.)  add the rest of the ingredients  (cross my fingers.)


This is a food experiment for sure.


I am thinking while concocting" I am putting a curious mix of ingredients together here. I have no clue how it will taste"
Some carbs are from the coconut milk , a few cashew nuts,  nutritional yeast, a little curry powder (have to look curry up),the alfalfa sprouts


Tasty and fast, ,a surprise treat. It was good!


I had it cold for lunch ..and then warmed it up for dinner.....either way was fine.


I am eating  different combinations of flavors on LGHF.


I don't try to make things that are going to taste like foods that I was "addicted" to. ,like chocolate cake or potato chips .. ice cream.. the list goes on  ...............
THE SUNDAE



I find myself looking for new foods that are low in Carbs and high in healthy fat  to nourish and support this body .It surprises me sometimes to be in a grocery line and realize that the candy has no draw for me.I see the wrapping and notice the colors and fun looking packages and it isn't registering as FOOD.


Now.. that being said .. I was at a party where I wanted to be social and enjoy the treat someone had brought,,, ingredients for make your own hot fudge sundaes,this was early in my LCHF weeks ,It came to me that I could do low carb in the situation, and BINGO!
Bowl + whipped cream  + peanuts = sundae
The variation shown is Whipped Cream with almonds and bacon bits.




Olives for example...never ate green olives before...when in SPAIN...they were everywhere..so I acquired a taste for them.. very satisfying, no carb snack now...Interesting to notice.
I read the lable...ahh! there is a clue as to the reason I am now drawn to the OLIVE.I was surprised to find that FAT is the primary macro.Almost all of the calories come from fat,Lots of vitamin E as well.Cool!  That tells me why they are a satisfying snack for me now.





 
cool version with the green guacamole salsa

(got to be careful with the cashews, too high in carbs in general)
