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.

Notes
  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.

Keto Smoked Ham Salad

2 Replies

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.

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.

  5. 2 Eggs
  6. ½ C Water
  7. ¼ C Sour Cream
  8. 2½ T Melted Coconut Oil
  9. 2 T Minced Onions

  11. 2 T Minced **Pickled Jalapenos (No Carrots Or Onions)
  12. 2 Oz. Cheddar Cheese (Or Cheese Of Choice)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  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)
  6. Bake 30 minutes, rest 5 minutes, make sure it is not sticking to sides of pan and take off outer ring if using a small springform or removable bottom pan. (Recommended-See Notes)

  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.

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.

Low Carb Cauliflower Au Gratin

Low Carb Cauliflower Au GratinLow Carb Cauliflower Au Gratin. Julia, Jacques, and me.  I certainly never thought I would put the three of us together in one sentence but here we are.  As you can plainly see I AM NOT in the picture alas…only in the sentence.  And then there was this guy who slipped in to grab a little of Julia’s thunder. 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.

  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.

Low Carb Almond Cookies

Low Carb Almond CookiesLow Carb Almond Cookies.  I was on the website www.realfoodcarolyn.com awhile ago and found a recipe called Awesome Almond Cookies.   She had permission to reprint the recipe but for us diabetics and low carbers it had loads of maple syrup in it so I decided to make them low carb.  All I can say is they are named appropriately and they are awesome. Low carb almond cookies are ridiculously easy and quick to make.

  3. In separate bowl, combine liquid ingredients.
  4. Add in dry ingredients, mix until smooth and let sit for 10 minutes until thickened as in a soft cookie dough.
  5. Mix again and place by the spoonful (I use a scoop for uniformity) onto a Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet and bake 15-20 minutes or until browning begins at the edges. Cookies will spread and be relatively flat.

  1. I made them large with a #24 (3T) scoop and got exactly 12 cookies and with a #70 scoop (1T) I got exactly 36 so…3 smalls equal 1 large and you are probably less likely to eat 6 smalls than 2 large.

Low Carb Magic Bars

Low Carb Magic BarsLow Carb Magic Bars.  This is my rendition of the famous Eagle Brand recipe for Magic Bars. I personally never count calories because if you are really and truly eating LCHF calories do not matter.  You get and keep that “full feeling” from the fat you are eating.  Now I will admit these are not for the faint of heart if you are paying attention to calories and if you do then these are not for you but man oh man these are good, good, good and if nothing else you can use Step 1 to make Sweetened Condensed Milk. but really, why not just make the low carb magic bars?

I am betting from the number of servings (30) and the size of the pan that one Eagle Brand portion is about the size of a postage stamp.  Good luck on that one.  Apples to Apples about two servings of the original to one of mine with ten times the carb count.  Yikes!

Keto Baba Ganoush

2 Replies

Keto Baba GanoushKeto Baba GanoushKeto Baba Ganoush. For the uninitiated, Baba Ganoush is a Middle Eastern eggplant dip. I happen to think this stuff was sent to mankind by the Gods and if you have never had baba ganoush you might go to just about any Middle Eastern restaurant and try it. My prediction…you will love, love, love it-it’s addictive. The idea of the ribbed “waves” is to catch and keep the olive oil in place so if you can make them-please do, or at least make some facsimile of mountains and valleys.

Low Carb Baba GanoushTraditionally keto baba ganoush is smeared around the sides of a shallow bowl with the olives around the perimeter, drizzled with olive oil, and then scooped with torn flatbread or pita but…as low carbers we can not do this so I have given you some terrific alternatives.
Keto Baba Ganoush can be eaten many ways. You can use an olive to scoop a little baba, you can tear a Carbalose Flour Tortillas and scoop with that, you can cut your tortilla into wedges & lightly fry them for use as “pita chips”, you can use red pepper chips, you can use thinly sliced & peel cucumber coins. Don’t want pita chips? Then use Harvarti cheese…but the best way is to use any and all ways.  All combinations of the above work perfectly well as they all compliment the flavor of the baba.  If this doesn’t trip your trigger here is an equally good but different Smoky Eggplant Dip recipe made with my Super LCHF Yogurt, or…full fat store bought.

  1. 1 Large Or Two Medium Eggplants
  2. ¼ C Tahini

Notes
  1. How I prepare my eggplant: When the eggplant is finished baking, prop up the head & make a slit all the way through the top and down the front. Let cool for 10-15 minutes and then using the palm of you hand or a large spoon and starting at the top, begin pushing the juice out of it. Repeat this several times until no more comes out. Allow to cool. With a large spoon and a gentle hand, scoop out the pulp making sure you get even all the slimy stuff from the outer skin. Now, taking the crown in your fingers, squeeze the final pulp out of it.
  2. I do this for two reasons 1.) The juice is very sticky and is most of the sugar in an eggplant. 2.) Your final baba will be thicker and easier to scoop.
  3. This is better after being in the fridge a day or so but I’m betting it won’t happen…it tastes way too good to wait.

Low Carb Roast Beef Spread

Low Carb Roast Beef SpreadLow Carb Roast Beef SpreadLow Carb Roast Beef Spread. If your husband finds this Roast Beef Spread in the refrigerator he may grab a fork, stand there with the fridge door open, and eat it out of the bowl and…you will scream at him.  This is good on Sour Cream & Chive Crackers or Hazelnut Parmesan Crackers  and if you decide to use this spread in a sandwich you can put it on Naan Flat Bread (pictured) and top it with Pickled Red Onions or spread it on a Carbalose Flour Tortillas and oh yeah, plain, right out of the bowl with a fork.  It’s OK if you do it…just not your husband.  If you prefer to make a really hearty breakfast with your left-over Prime Rib you may wish to try the Roast Beef Hash. Low carb roast beef spread, it’s pretty hard to put your fork down.

Mt. Olive Sugar-Free Bread & Butter Chips (wow are these good) are available on Netrition.

Notes
  1. Another alternative serving suggestion: Put a couple of pieces of lettuce on a small plate and serve as a side salad.
  2. I had occasion to do a prime rib roast but if you slow-cook your own chuck roast and shred it this works wonderfully for this recipe, it’s much less expensive and you may not need to process it.
  3. My best guess is that you will get 8-10 servings from this unless you pile it on a very large sandwich.
  4. If you’ve not had Mt Olive sugar-free bread & butter pickles they are a quick, safe addiction.
  5. I gussied it up a bit with a few pickled red onions & a couple of pickles.
