Looking for recipes!

Hey Neon and any other good cooks in the invaders world! I do I lot of cooking for the residents at the group home I work at but I feel bad for them cuz they seem to eat the same things over and over (just cuz they don't talk doesn't mean they don't have tastebuds). I am looking for new and interesting recipes (e.g. something other than tuna helper, tater tot hotdish and mac and cheese with hot dogs). We do have a few residents who are diabetic so if anyone has a good recipe to fit a low carb high protien diet without breaking the bank I would love some suggestions! Thanks!

I will have a lookie loo tomorrow and see what I can come up with for ya!

Shepards pie is easy to make. If interested. It's pretty much Mash patatos ground beef and veggie cassarole

Eh..Shepard's Pie is cheap but not carb and protein friendly with the taters...maybe sub the mash potatoes with mashed cauliflower. Also, Em I used this site when I was on the Atkins diet. I'm not sure how well it will be for you since you're feeding a few more than 2 people. Maybe you can get some inspiration from it though.

Mix all them badboys together and if it's too moist add a bit more cheese or pork rinds. Shape into a loaf pan, cover with tomato sauce or ketchup. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Only carbs are the tomato sauce or ketchup!
