Low Carb Recipe

• 2 3/4 lbs green beans, trimmed; strings removed
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 3 Tbsp heavy cream
• 3 Tbsp finely chopped mushrooms
• 1/4 cup walnuts, coarsly chopped
• 2 1/2 Tbsp scallions, freshly chopped
• Salt to taste
• Garlic to taste
• 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

In a 4 1/2 quart saucepan, bring 2 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add green beans. When the water returns to a boil, cook green beans for 5 minutes. Drain water from beans. Set aside.

In the same saucepan, add butter, cream, walnuts, scallions, garlic and salt. Heat to a small boil, stirring constantly. Heat until slightly thick. Return beans to pan and heat thoroughly. Top with bacon just before serving.

To add a bit of Christmas color, if desired, sprinkle a few chopped pimientos on top around the bacon. It adds only an extra trace of carbs.

Here is a way to cut back on the carbs. My wife makes this and it is great. Just don’t go overboard and eat twice as much.

1 head cauliflower
1/4 cup of no fat milk
5 yucon gold patatos
1/4 no fat magarin
1/4 no fat sour cream

Steam cauliflower until it is tender.
Boil the patatos until they are tender.

Cut up the patatos in to quarters and break up the cauliflower.
Place all the ingrediants in to a large mixing bowl and whip them until its smooth.
Place into a baking dish and place in a 400 degree oven. Bake just long enough to add a golden brown to the top.
This cuts way back on the calories and tastes good to boot.
