Anyone else a Crack head? CrackSlaw..LOL

[NaNa 878]

I've been hearing about this low carb, recipe for awhile and I decided to try it this week, and boy was it delicious!

I've actually lost 3 pounds this week, and honestly this is all I wanted to eat all week, except for some homemade Jello.

Somehow after eating about 1 cup of this for lunch and dinner and I don't want to eat anything else, and makes me feel like I am eating a lot of yummy food.

I made a huge batch of it and put it in the freezer so I don't have to continually make it

Here are my version of the ingredients:

I don't eat ground beef I substitute with ground turkey and while cooking the turkey mixed with onions and garlic powder, I add a little olive oil to my turkey while cooking it to brown. Also I get those packs of shredded coleslaw instead of having to shred up a whole cabbage, much easier.

I use about 1 cup of sesame oil -- but you can add more or less, the recipe calls for 2 tablespoons, also, I use two packages of coleslaw and add cut up green peppers, it really gives that Chinese food type sweet tangy taste and it make the entire meal yummy.

Enjoy!

Oh I am so trying that this weekend! YUM Sounds like you could really rif on this to add just about any vegetable you wanted to incorporate like snow peas or whatever. Throw in some ground up peanuts to make it a little more Thai leaning.

Please note that the Crack Cabbage recipe calls for two (2) Tablespoons of sesame oil. That is 1/8 cup not the one(1)cup she used as a substitute. Keep in mind that one gram of fat is 9 calories. 1/8cup fluid=1 Fluid oz, and 1 oz=28.35 grams. That is 28.35 x 9 = 255.15 calories as opposed to the recipe's 1 oz= 9 calories. Use one cup of oil if you like, but be aware that the recipe is 1/8 cup.
