Low Carb Chocolate Walnut Peanut Butter Fudge

5 Replies

Low Carb Chocolate Walnut Peanut Butter FudgeLow Carb Chocolate Walnut Peanut Butter Fudge. One of the things a diabetic misses (and there are lots of things) is a good creamy fudge. Well, you need wait no longer. This is as good as it gets and you can eat several pieces without any guilt what-so-ever.

About 20-55 years ago I realized fudge was far better made with heavy cream rather than milk and up until the diabetes thing it was the best fudge ever and now this is.  I really can’t tell any difference.

The first time I tried making this I used too much heavy cream (gasp) and we could only eat it with a spoon (another gasp) so I reduced the cream and voila a to-die-for Low Carb Chocolate Walnut Peanut Butter Fudge and how cool is this and…you don’t have to beat it forever.

Keto Divine Chicken Divan CasseroleKeto Divine Chicken Divan CasseroleKeto Divine Chicken Divan CasseroleLow Carb Divine Chicken Divan CasseroleKeto Divine Chicken Divan CasseroleKeto Divine Chicken Divan Casserole. Back in the day, you know, like the middle ages, this was cheap college fare and we made it with Cream of Mushroom & Cream of Celery soups with a potato chip topping. And as Robert Burns wrote; those days are Auld Lang Syne or times gone by. But then again, I did not cook with heavy cream and certainly not Port wine.  Gruyere cheese? Porcini dust?  Never heard of ‘em. There are probably about as many recipes for this as there are cooks and this is just my own tasty version of keto divine chicken divan casserole.

This is one of those all inclusive meals and pretty complete with a big salad of greens and maybe a wee bit of dessert.  If you opt for the Topping you will need Carbalose Flour Bread to make the crumbs and they are included in the nutritionals. Otherwise you may subtract 1.3 Net Carbs, and add GroundPork Rinds instead.

Low Carb Gooey Sticky Butter Cake

2 Replies

Low Carb Gooey Sticky Butter CakeLow Carb Gooey Sticky Butter CakeWell, this Low Carb Gooey Sticky Butter Cake in not really “sticky” in the traditional way we think of as sticky but it sure looks like it should be.  This is an extremely moist and versatile basic vanilla butter cake and may be changed to suit your fancy. Low carb gooey sticky butter cake is terrific on its own and you can make it into an orange, lemon, or almond poppy seed cake with the addition of 2 t of any different extracts and 1-2 T poppy seeds. Another great topping is Sweetened Condensed Milk. 

I have completely revamped this recipe.  I have taken out all of the arrowroot, decreased the almond meal, and added ground pecans which has now significantly decreased the carb count while increasing the fat.  If you have the other recipe and like it then great but I believe this one is actually much better.  Not sure if you can tell by the pictures but it is extremely moist and dense. With taste? Oh yeah, there is lots of that too.

The original recipe of this was made with a store bought yellow cake mix and to think I actually made it several times?  Yikes and yuck on me.

Baking PansThis is a reminder that if you are going to bake (anything) it would be a very good idea to have professional baking pans. Magic Line Pans are probably the best quality available, they come in about every size & shape you would ever need and…they are actually made here in the USA. There is even a complete size set (6”,7”,8”,9”,10”, and 12”) and with these pans you will have what you need (and more) to make the recipes.  Because I promote this set of pans several places on this site they keep selling out of them so if you don’t see the 6 pan combo call 309-747-2125 and they will make one for you.

  1. A half recipe works perfectly in a 7"x7" pan.
  2. As this is sugarfree it will not stick to the pan and should come out exactly as it looks.
  3. I didn't do it but I think maybe ½ C desiccated coconut might be good in the topping.

Keto Mississippi Comeback Sauce. Makes a great vegetable dipping sauce, a terrific salad dressing and if you eat sandwiches it is especially good on an Open-Faced Rueben Sandwich.  I bet once you have eaten this you will “comeback” with your own ways to use it. The recipe is easily doubled and lasts forever, and I’m guessing it won’t. (Last Forever) Keto Mississippi comeback sauce, in many cases, can be used as a substitute for mayo.

Low Carb Au Gratin Casserole Topping

4 Replies

Low Carb Au Gratin Casserole ToppingThis Low Carb Au Gratin Casserole Topping is a great alternative to fried onions on a green bean casserole or just about any other casserole or vegetable dish.

You will need Carbalose Flour Bread to make the crumbs and the uses are nearly infinite. You will find this in several recipes on the site.

What I do is make a recipe of the bread, grind the whole loaf, keep it frozen for use later and then every time I cut ends off a loaf, I throw them in with the crumbs and when I have enough I grind them into crumbs so…I always have them on hand. Your first loaf of bread will yield about 8 cups of crumbs.

Keto Smoked Ham Salad

Keto Smoked Ham SaladLow Carb Smoked Ham SaladKeto Smoked Ham Salad. I guarantee you will never eat another commercial Ham Salad after this and is this easy or what? The three secrets to this recipe are good quality ham, the liquid smoke and the Sugar Free Mt. Olive Sweet Relish. I have had others SF relishes and for whatever reason they don’t begin to compare to Mt Olive. It is available at www.netrition.com

This is good served on a thick slab of tomato with melted smoked cheddar cheese over it or if you make Carbalose Flour Bread it makes a terrific quick sandwich for lunch and even good served by the tablespoon on Sour Cream & Chive Crackers or Hazelnut Parmesan Crackers for a little “quickie something” before dinner.  As you can see even I know ham is a natural with cheese so I put it on a large cheese crisp. Keto smoked ham salad-you won’t be sorry.

Make sure when you taste test it you stop at the test-it’s very easy to just stand at the kitchen counter and chow down and I’m not kidding you, I have done it many times.

  1. If your ham has been injected with up to 35% “added product” squeeze it out before you grind it and my best advice is not to buy anything with the word “product” attached to it. I don’t know about you but I am not interested in buying water or whatever else they inject into ham and chickens these days.

Keto Mexican Cornbread

Low Carb Mexican CornbreadLow Carb Mexican CornbreadKeto Mexican Cornbread. If you don’t think this keto Mexican Cornbread tastes as close to real cornbread as you can get-then I will eat my Mexican sombrero. It’s spicy, filling, healthy, & will fill your kitchen with the aromas reminiscent of a Mexican restaurant. The best thing about this recipe? No almond meal anywhere to be found.  Perfectly paired with Firehouse Fresh Steak Chili

I think this may be my first “variegated paleo” dish. Variegated in that I subbed sour cream for vinegar and most paleo followers say no to dairy.  Hey, I tried it with vinegar and to my taste it was awful and…I like and use a lot of vinegar.

One of the things (and there are many) since I started this website is the emailing and phone conversations I have had with people from all over the country.  I have had the great pleasure in the last week of a running email exchange with health coach Jamie Koonce www.jamiekoonce.com who gave me a basic paleo coconut bread recipe and this is my very much added to and altered rendition. The basic recipe is delicious (and I will post it) but I did not care for the taste of the vinegar in it so I subbed it with sour cream. Jamie’s titles include: Holistic Nutritionist, Functional Medicine Practitioner, and Traditional Oriental Medicine Practitioner and if I lived in or near AR I would try to meet her. Jamie is also available to clients everywhere by phone and Skype.

  2. Blend first 4 ingredients in medium bowl.
  3. Beat eggs, add water, sour cream, 2 T oil, beat again then beat into dry ingredients.
  4. Blend in veggies and cheese. Let rest for a couple of minutes-it will thicken. Blend once again.
  5. Pour into round well oiled pan. (last ½ t oil)

  1. I use a small 6” springform pan for this which is perfect. There is also a 6” removable bottom cake pan made by Fat Daddio’s and I really like this company. There are several others and it you don’t use removable bottom pans you are missing the boat. I have different sizes and use them for lots & lots of things.
  2. If you decide to split this puppy with a buddy, and maybe with the addition of sausage or minced ham, it would make a great & somewhat different breakfast. Yeah, and maybe even with a side of bacon.
  3. Double the recipe, use an 8” round pan and cut into 8 slices.

Please see Carbalose Flour Bread. and you will need it to make this Low Carb Carbalose Bread Stuffing.

  2. How we eat this: I cut out the backbone of a chicken, butterfly (spatchcock) it, butter a piece of foil, put the stuffing roughly in the shape of a heart, put the chicken on top of the stuffing, and bake it at 375 degrees for about 1¼-1½ hours and wahoo it’s so good. As the chicken cooks the juices and fat go into the stuffing.
  3. Needless to say this goes well under/with Cornish game hen.

Low Carb Ratatouille

Low Carb RatatouilleLow Carb RatatouilleLow Carb RatatouilleLow Carb Ratatouille SoupLow Carb Ratatouille. All I can say is leave it to the French-even their “peasants” know the fine art of cooking.  This is so good, makes a lot, and best of all it is easy to prepare.
Serve under/over eggs for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and yes, make a fabulous soup with the addition of more water and heavy cream. The best news is that the soup can be served cold, warm or hot.

Beware, if making jut soup best to make ½ a recipe or make it with left-over low carb ratatouille because it will make a LOT of soup. Probably 6 large bowls and 8-10 smaller cups.

It is funny, funny, funny.

All I have done is tweak this recipe to take out the carbs by eliminating the milk and flour.

Cauliflower Au Gratin
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 Large Head Cauliflower
  2. ¼ t Salt
  3. 2½ C Heavy Cream
  4. 1 T Butter For Baking Dish
  5. Salt & Pepper
  6. 1 Pinch Nutmeg
  7. 1 t Chicken Base
  8. 1 C Grated Gruyere Cheese
Instructions
  1. Turn the cauliflower upside down, and cut all around the stem with a sharp knife, slicing off the tough leafy stems that are attached to it. Pick off any remaining leaf pieces that may still be attached. Do not cut the florets apart.
  2. Put the whole cauliflower, stem end down, into a large pot with two inches of water and ¼ t salt. Cover tightly and bring to a rapid boil. Cook until you can pierce a floret with a sharp knife (about 8 minutes). Carefully lift the cauliflower out of the pot and place it in the gratin dish to cool slightly.
  3. Turn the cauliflower upside down, and slice all around the core, through the floret stems, so the head falls apart. Arrange the florets in a single layer round side up, then chop up the cooked core and scatter the pieces in the dish.
  4. Pour cream into a saucepan and bring to simmer until thickened.
  5. Whisk in ¼ teaspoon pepper, chicken base and a pinch or two of nutmeg. Taste and adjust seasoning to your taste remembering that the cheese also has a lot of salt in it. The sauce should be thick, but pourable. If necessary, thin with a bit of water, stirring to blend well.
  6. Season the florets with ¼ t pepper, and scatter ½ cup of the grated cheese over the top. Set the gratin dish on a cookie sheet, then ladle or pour the sauce over the cauliflower. Sprinkle on the rest of the cheese, place in the oven and bake until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is starting to brown, about 20-25 minutes.

Notes
  1. I do think a bit of parmesan cheese on top would be terrific and I will try it next time I make this.
  2. Personally when it comes to cheese, I think more is better and if you do too-feel free to add more.
  3. DO AHEAD NOTE: The assembled gratin can be made several hours ahead if stored well wrapped in the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 350F and allow 30 to 40 minutes for heating the gratin and browning the cheese.
