And I'm trying to encourage her (as an aside, I'm back to cycling again, so I don't want to go low carb because I can use an extra carb here and there -- that said, I'm down 9 pounds) ... anyway, she tagged me in a post on Facebook the other day with several low carb recipes using avocados.
Not sure what to call them -- baked/roasted avocados with chicken and bacon?
I started with some boneless/skinless chicken thighs. Browned them a bit and tossed them in the oven in the same pan (note ... these take NO time at all to cook -- probably didn't need to put them in the oven and could have just finished them on the stove)
A pound of thick cut bacon, cooked in a pan (only used half of the package - saved the unused for my wife)
Six Avocados, cut in half, pits removed.
After the chicken is cooked you chunk it up, and then cut up the bacon. Set the avocados in a baking dish, load up with chicken and bacon, and then I sprinkled a little shredded colby jack on top. Put them into the oven at 350 for 20 minutes.
These were MUCH better than I expected. Wasn't sure how the avocados would be after baking, but they weren't mushy at all (I bought them on the firmer side) ... about the only thing I'd do next time is salt and pepper the avocados before loading them up with the chicken and bacon. I sprinkled Cholula on mine and they were very tasty.

). Basically Keto. I feel much better on this type of diet. Breads and pastas always make me feel blah. Anyway here is a low carb recipe:
