Stuffed Chicken

2-4 boneless skinless chicken breast
mayo to coat and marinate chicken
Italian seasoning
Pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce (I use Pizza for lower carbs)
mushrooms
Mozzarella cheese
Parsley to top
Parmesan Cheese

_________________________________
Place chicken breast in a baggie and flatten, then add some mayo to the bag to coat the chicken breast - (the amount will depend on how many of the chicken breast you do).
Add Italian seasonings to the marinade and let marinate for a couple of hours in the frig.
When your ready to cook, saute your mushrooms in butter and set aside,
In a baking dish (I covered mine with foil), add a thin layer of pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce.
Put some Parmesan cheese on a plate or in a bowl and roll your marinated chicken breast in it to coat and then place in your pan on top of the sauce.
Put a little bit of sauce on the chicken breast then mozzarella cheese, then your mushrooms and then fold the chicken breast up with the folded side down, sprinkle a little more Parmesan on your chicken if needed so it will form a crust and then bake @ 350* until the chicken is completely done

For this recipe you add whatever you want for the filling like green peppers, pepperoni, onions, etc.

Mediterranean zucchini boats

6 medium sized zucchini cut in half - long ways
1 lb of hamburger meat
1 tbls of minced garlic
1 egg
mozzarella cheese
7 spice to taste
salt to taste
1Roma tomatoe

After you cut you zucchini in half, place in a large pot and boil for 10 minutes
while your zucchini is boiling, brown your hamburger meat, adding minced garlic and your spices.
Once the meat is done, drain off any fat and set aside
When your zucchini is done, take out and scoop out the meat of the zucchini and place in a strainer to strain off any juice in it
Take the inside of the zucchini after it's strained and mix it with your meat mixture and add a beaten egg.
Take your mixture now and place inside the scooped out zucchini and sprinkle mozzarella on top and then bake at *350 for at least 25 minutes, about 5 minutes before it's done take a sliced up Roma tomato and place them on top to finish cooking with the dish.

cilantro

1 maggies chicken cube

minced garlic to taste

while I am frying the meat, I add minced garlic, cumin, onion powder (or real onions), chili powder, salt and pepper

when meat is down, strain and set aside in a bowl

___________________________________

in a non stick pot I add a little oil and saute cilantro (chopped), onion if you like (chopped), maggies cube (break up), and minced garlic

once it is sauted I add the can of tomato sauce and then fill up the can with hot water and add it.

Then add cumin, chili powder, onion powder, curry powder, pepper, and lime juice

___________________________________

I let the sauce cook for just a bit, and then add about a cup of it to the meat mixture.

___________________________________

In a cake pan I line with foil

I add a little of the sauce to the bottom just to coat

Put 6 of you cooked cauli rounds

then sauce all over them

then meat mixture and then cheese

and then repeat...

with cheese being you last topping

if you have any sauce left over, just pour on top

Lasagna Casserole

Lasagna
12 cauli rounds (recipe for the cauli rounds are not mine, recipe can be found in link below)
I make the mixture and bake them in muffin top pans
http://blog.yourlighterside.com/2009/05/low-carb-enchiladas-recipe.html
 or you can use the same mixture and put it on a cake pan or pizza pan, cook it and then cut into strips...
*note* to me the cauli rounds are more fulfilling, then if you cut the cauli mixture into strips like lasagna noodles...so yes it different but more satisfying..

1 lb of hamburger meat
cottage cheese or ricotta (ricotta is better for induction)
mozzarella cheese
Italian seasonings
minced garlic
Make your own spaghetti sauce or use No sugar added spaghetti sauce 
fresh parsley

Make your cauli rounds first
brown your hamburger meat with minced garlic and Italian seasonings, strain and set aside..
add your sauce to the meat mixture

layer some meat mixture
then cauli rounds (6) of them
then cottage cheese or ricotta
then a layer of mozzarella
then repeat
top with fresh parsley 
Bake @ 350* until cheese is melted
