How to Prepare:
Saute sliced mushrooms in butter until slightly browned. Add in onions and saute for 3 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients and let simmer, uncovered, until slightly thikened(you can whisk in 1-2 teaspoons of soy flour that has been dissolved in 1/4 cup water if desired for a thicker sauce).
Fry steaks in remaining butter for 2 minutes each side. Remove and stir fry pepper strips for 2 minutes. Add steaks and sauce back in and simmer 10 minutes or until steaks are at desired doneness.

Prep Time: 1 hr
Effort: Easy

Ingredients:

• 8 cups Atkins Bake Mix
• 2 Tbl. unsweetened chocolate
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup sugar (Splenda)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 lb bittersweet chocolate (I suggest you to use 1 bag of LowCarb Success sugar free semi-sweet chocolate chips plus 3 PureDelite dark hocolate bars)

How to Prepare:
First preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together bake mix, cocoa and baking powders and salt.
In a double boiler, melt 3/4 of the chocolate and all the butter; stir until smooth.
Remove chocolate mixture from heat and stir in sugar.
Mix eggs in one by one. Combine with dry ingredients and mix until just combined. At this point, I mixed in the additional chocolate chips, though you may want to save them to sprinkle on the dough before baking.
Chill dough, covered in fridge, for 10-60 minutes.
Drop rounded tablespoon measures of dough about 1 inch apart on greased cookie sheet.
Stud cookies with additional chocolate, if you didn’t mix it into the batter earlier.
Cook for 10 minutes. Pay attention not to overcook the cookies. Cookies will have a cake-like texture.

How to Prepare:
Drain pineapple and save juice. Set pineapple aside for later use. Now combine pineapple juice with water to equal 2 cups liquid and prepare gelatin according to package label using juice-water mixture for the liquid.
Once gelatin is dissolved, stir in lemon juice. Chill until partially set. In a separate bowl, combine the pineapple, sugar substitute, cranberries, orange, celery and nuts.

Do not use fresh or frozen pineapple in this recipe! It will not allow the gelatin to jell.

Effort:Easy

Ingredients:

• 1 thin slice deli turkey*
• 1 thin slice deli swiss cheese*
• 1 spoonful of Philadelphia
• cream cheese2 fresh chilled asparagus spears
• 1 paper towel

How to Prepare:
Lay the turkey slice flat on the paper towel, put the swiss cheese slice on top of the turkey, spread the cream cheese on top of the swiss cheese, cut the asparagus spears into thirds and lay them horizontally on top of the cream cheese. Then at one end of the layer start rolling until you’re able to hold the roll in one hand, then place the paper towel around the roll-up, eat, and go.

*You can substitute the turkey and swiss with your favorite meat and cheese. Boar’s Head brand is my favorite deli meat and cheese: it’s low on sodium, has no preservatives, and offers varieties like peppered Turkey, Virgina baked ham, and jalapano mozzerella cheese.

Ingredients:

• 4 Tri Tip Steaks (or Top Sirloin)
• 1/4 cup Table Grind Black Pepper (Very Course)
• Extra verginOlive Oil
• 1 package sliced Mushrooms
• 4 ounces Heavy Cream
• 1 shot Cognac

How to Prepare:
Spred pepper on a flat surface. Press the steaks firmly on each side coating the steaks with the pepper. Heat olive oil in a heavy frying pan and cook the steaks several minutes on each side. I suggest you to use medium heat. Once steaks are done to your liking, (ie: rare, medium,or done) remove the steaks from the frying pan and place in a warm oven to keep. Place the mushrooms in the frying pan to saute. Add just a little more olive oil.
Once the mushrooms are tender add the heavy cream and cognac. Let the sauce simmer and bubble stirring often. Pour the sauce over the steaks and serve.
