For those that eat little or no starch, what does a typical family friendly dinner look like?

You can tell no one around here cooks, except for a daily burger.
I mean, I also do Gordon Ramsey's scrambled eggs pretty regularly.

But again, just the eggs. I don't bother with the toast or mushrooms or tomatoes.
Thank you @Lejeboca! I do have quite a few ideas and I do everything from scratch. I include white jasmine rice, corn tortillas, and potatoes; along with meat I have developed quite a list of foods. Here are a few examples:Let me tag @Lollipop2 . She cooks all from scratch, and I remember reading some nice ideas from her.
I often serve meatballs with a lot of tomato sauce (kind of like a bowl of soupe).

* Do you have a recipe for meatloaf, by chance? I would love to try.Thank you @Lejeboca! I do have quite a few ideas and I do everything from scratch. I include white jasmine rice, corn tortillas, and potatoes; along with meat I have developed quite a list of foods. Here are a few examples:
*Chicken enchiladas
*Street tacos with corn tortilla, roasted red bell pepper, green salsa, grated cheese, sour cream, ground beef
*Meatloaf with chili sauce
*Mashed potatoes
*“Salad” without greens but with eggs, apples, crumbled cheese, grated carrot, sometimes tomatoes and I use a homemade dressing with fresh lemon, EVOO, garlic, Dijon mustard - yummy really
*Creamy mushroom soup
*Rice Pudding - super yummy
*Roasted cauliflower and garlic
*Beef sausage (not from scratch)
*Crustless quiche with mushrooms and cheese
*White Fish
*Shrimp sautéed with garlic and butter
*Beef Stew with chuck, onion, garlic, russet potatoes
ETC...
As you can see there is quite a lot of options if you get creative. I personally use organic, grassfed and pastured everything.
Hi @Lejeboca!* Do you have a recipe for meatloaf, by chance? I would love to try.
I have a simple recipe for beef heart. I've come to like this organ meat . Picks me up as good as liver does, probably because heart has some T.
* Do you make any corn bread? I'd like to try but don't know of a good recipe.
And final question in this barrage,
* Do you have favorite substitutes from non-peaty to peaty ingredients? For example, I cannot buy a good cream all that I see in the US stores has some carrageenan, gum, or other far-from-milk ingredients, so I've been using milk w/gelatin mixture as substitute but I is hard to get their relative proportions to resemble cream consistency.
Thanks so much.
Hi @Lejeboca!
I ask the butcher to combine organs in my ground beef. Liver etc. So good. Here is my meatloaf recipe and sauce. Instead of bread it uses oats. You could try without the oats but it sort of helps hold the loaf together and they disappear in the final product - you don’t even know they are there. I love it:
Lisa’s Yummy Meatloaf:
Ingredients:
2 tbls butter
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 small onion, chopped
2 pounds ground beef
2 large eggs, beaten
cup uncooked regular oats
1/4 cup chili sauce (I bought an organic one from Whole Foods - Peat Friendly)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Meatloaf Sauce (recipe below)
Instructions:
*Sauté in butter all the garlic green bell pepper and onion for a few min to soften.
*Combine 1/2 of the onion mixture, ground beef, eggs, oats, chili sauce, sea salt.
*Shape into a loaf.
*Place in a lightly greased 9- x 5-inch loaf pan. I use butter to grease pan.
*Bake at 350° for 45 minutes. *Remove from oven, and pour off pan juices.
*Spread half of Meat Loaf Sauce evenly over meat loaf.
*Bake 25 more minutes.
*Remove from pan.
*Serve with remaining Meat Loaf Sauce.
Meat Loaf Sauce
Ingredients
1/2 of the onion mixture sautéed above
3/4 cup chili sauce
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
*Mix everything together and cook on low until the sauce thickens to your preference. You might even want to add more chili sauce.
Interesting you should mention corn bread as I am currently trying to get a good one. Mine have been okay but not to my full satisfaction. I will let you know when I succeed.
substitutions:
Instead of cream look for “whipping cream - I have seen it in regular stores that is clean.
You might can use half and half in some recipes and you should be able to find it clean.
I have also used full fat Greek yogurt plain. It should be clean.
Brands that are good:
*Fage has sour cream with nothing else.
*Good has cottage cheese that has nothing else.
*Nancy’s has all of her products with nothing else: cream, sour cream, cottage cheese, cream cheese
*Maple Hill
*Look for local products
You are correct milk and gelatin wouldn’t work well in a lot of recipes.
Hope this helps!
Cool! Do you have any other substitution suggestions? I was drawing a blank and had to edit a bunch.The meatloaf recipe looks yummy! Thank you. I will cook it soon. Just happens that I have ground beef in the freezer ;-) and oats on the shelf. And I like experimenting with new things to cook.
