ok to thicken sauce or drink for extra protien or in mims half linseed/protien just as nice a little lighter in texture
 
Yum. I made pancakes with flax and loved them. Where do you buy it? I may just have to invest. Like the idea of a thickening agent, missed my thick gravy stews/casseroles. Lol
 
Do you know Ste, i never thought of using that to make my mims. Mark has it and i did have a few shakes before. Didnt think to use half whey protien and half flax. Is it nice?
 
Yeah a lighter texture and less carbs i use the unflavored one
 
Mine is low in carbs but i only have a mim when i have carbs to use up anyway. Think is chocolate. Mmmmmm. Low carb dinner for me, i want to try a mim with that
 
Pork Chops with Dijon Sauce Recipe

INGREDIENTS
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp olive oil
4 center-cut rib or loin pork chops, bone in (preferred), about 1 1/4 inch thick
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped green onions or shallots
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup chicken stock*
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
*If cooking gluten-free, use homemade chicken stock or gluten-free packaged stock.
METHOD
1 Melt the butter in the oil in a large deep skillet over medium high heat. Season chops with salt and pepper and brown them, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Reduce heat slightly if the chops brown too quickly.
2 Remove chops from the pan and pour off most of the fat. Add the green onions or shallots and cook on med high heat until softened, about 1 minute. Add wine and bring to a boil, scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the stock and return chops to the pan. Bring sauce to a simmer and cook until chops are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
3 Remove the chops to a warm platter; cover with foil to keep warm. Raise the temp of the pan to boil the pan juices, reduce the juices by half, about 2 minutes. Add cream and boil 2 minutes more, until sauce reduces and thickens. Remove from the heat and whisk in mustard and parsley. If you want, add more mustard to taste. Spoon sauce over chops and serve.
Serves 4.
 
Sounds yummy steve, do you know the carb content of the sauce?
 
would not be much just check the chicken stock when you buy or use home made i keep the stock off the chicken in the freezer for stuff like this, cream 7/cup, and this is for four people or two hungry ones LOL

Chicken Breasts with Mushroom Sage Sauce Recipe

INGREDIENTS
3 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup chopped shallots
8-10 ounces mushrooms, cremini or shitake, thickly sliced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
1 cup dry vermouth or dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream (light cream may curdle, so use heavy cream)
3 Tbsp chopped fresh sage
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, pieces pounded to an even 1/4 inch to 1/3 inch thickness
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
METHOD

1 Melt butter in a large sauté pan on medium high heat. Add shallots and sauté for one minute. Add mushrooms and parsley and sauté for 5-10 more minutes, until the mushrooms have browned. If you are using unsalted butter, sprinkle on a pinch of salt. Add vermouth and deglaze the pan, scraping up any bits that may be sticking to the bottom of the pan. Stir in the cream. Bring to a boil and cook the sauce down until it is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon (about 10 minutes).

2 While the sauce is reducing, heat olive oil in another large sauté pan on medium high heat. Sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides of the chicken breast cutlets. Add cutlets to pan and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through.
3 Stir in sage to sauce, season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over chicken to serve.
Serve alone (for low carb version) or with rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta (use gluten-free for gluten-free version). We used bow-tie pasta which worked great. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serves 4.
