Re: Atkins
The dinner sounds delicious. That's how I ate Atkins while the rest of my family at regular food. I made a meat entree and salad or veggie I could have, plus sides the rest of the family enjoyed. My husband doesn't care how I eat, as long as he can continue eating what he wants. With meals like that, he never felt deprived. I did stop making casseroles, though.
For dips, I used crunchy veggies instead of chips. Peppers, celery and snap peas were favorites. For a little while I did use pork rinds but really don't like them.
There are also recipes online for low-carb cheese crackers that are only shredded cheese and spices, baked in the oven. I haven't tried them (I'm cow dairy-free) but have heard they're delicious.
