Low Carb Lemon Drop CookiesLow Carb Lemon Drop Cookies. These are a sweet little cookie suitable for afternoon tea or after dinner when a little something extra seems needed.  They are a tangy little afterthought…and just delicious.  If you like the taste of almond you may also like the Almond Cookies.  Low carb lemon drop cookies are again perfect with an afternoon cup of tea or coffee.

Lemon Drop Cookies
Print
Ingredients
  1. 2 C Almond Flour
  2. ¼ C Arrowroot
  3. 1½ t Baking Powder
  4. 2 T Lemon Extract
  5. 1 t Vanilla Extract
  6. ½ C Sugar Free Maple Syrup***
  7. ½ C Melted Butter
  8. 10 Drops Liquid Sucralose***
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Combine dry ingredients.
  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.
  6. Makes 12 large cookies 3½” in diameter or 36 small cookies 2” in diameter.
  7. Small
  8. 62 Calories, 1.4g Protein, 5.3g Fat, 2.3g Carbs, .7g Fiber, 1.6g Net Carbs
  9. Large
  10. 186 Calories 4.1g Protein, 15.9g Fat, 7.0g Carbs, 2.1g Fiber, 4.9g Net Carbs
Notes
  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 Peanut Butter Cake-Peanut Butter Icing

Leave a reply

Low Carb Peanut Butter Cake-Peanut Butter IcingLow Carb Peanut Butter Cake-Peanut Butter Icing.  For LCHF followers this is about as good, healthy, and tasty as it gets. Me? I could eat peanut butter all day long…by the spoonful…so I have to be careful.

Low carb peanut butter cake-peanut butter icing is a very dense, moist cake and not too dis-similar from a brownie which I hope you can see from the picture.

Baking PansThis is another 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 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 of square pans (6”,7”,8”,9”,10” and 12”) and with these pans you will have what you need (and more) to make the recipes on this site.  Since there are only two of us I often enough make ½ a recipe, use the 6”x6” pan and cut into 8-10 pieces. I think 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.

Low Carb Vegetable Mélange Encased In PastryLow Carb Vegetable Mélange Encased In Pastry. Don’t be intimidated by the looks of this recipe.  It’s not nearly as complicated as it appears and once you’ve made it you will see what I’m saying. This is quite lovely and certainly stunning enough to serve guests. And tasty?…yea, it’s way that too. As mélange translates to “mixture” you may of course put any vegetables that suit your fancy or… happen to have on hand at the time.  This happens to be my favorite.

  6. ½ t Salt
  7. ⅛ t Guar Gum
  8. ⅛ t Xanthan Gum
  9. 1 Large Egg Beaten (Reserve 2 T For Brushing)
  10. ¼ C Heavy Cream
  11. 4 Drops Liquid Sucralose
  12. ½ C Warm Water
  13. 1 T Yeast
  14. 1 t Sugar
Filling
  1. 1 Beaten Egg (Reserve 2 T To Egg Wash Pastry)
  2. ¼ C Olive Oil
  3. 1 Zucchini Small Diced & Sautéed
  4. ¾ C Onion Small Diced & Sautéed
  5. ¾ C Mushrooms Chopped & Sautéed
  6. ¾ C Chopped & Wilted Fresh Spinach (Frozen Works Well & Be sure to Squeeze Dry)
  7. 1½ C Diced Fresh Tomatoes
  8. 1½ T Crushed Garlic
  9. 1 t Porcini Dust (If You Have It)
  10. ¾ t Salt
  11. ¾ t Pepper
  12. 3 T Parmesan Cheese
  13. 4 Oz Shredded Gruyere Cheese
  14. More Salt & Pepper To Taste
Instructions
  1. FILLING
  2. Heat oil to medium high to sauté zucchini and transfer to bowl.
  3. In leftover oil, sauté mushrooms then sauté onions and add garlic.
  4. Mix all sautéed vegetables with rest of filling ingredients.
  5. DOUGH
  6. Put first 8 ingredients in processor.
  7. Bloom yeast with sugar in warm water for 10 minutes.
  8. Add Sucralose to top of bloomed yeast.
  9. With processor running add beaten egg (don’t forget to reserve 2 T), add bloomed yeast & cream and process for at least one minute.
  10. Carbalose flour is not sticky but eggs are so this time your dough might be a little sticky and as you are forming the loaf to put into your pan it will then end up pretty much non-sticky.
  11. Since you will be rolling this into a rectangle, place dough in your small bread pan, cover with film, and let rise about 30 minutes.
  12. Invert dough onto Silpat or bench floured countertop and roll out rectangle to about 11½”x16½” or to completely cover Silpat.

  15. Cross one side over veggies and pushing down gently cross second side over first by about 2" making sure to seal the top well. The egg is your glue.
  16. OK, here comes the tricky part. If you have help great and most of the time we don’t so…you have to kind of scrunch it up and quickly transfer to parchment lined sheet pan. Or better yet, if you used your Silpat just lift that into the pan. Once you have made the transfer you can re-position and stretch it.
  17. Brush the entire pastry with egg, cover with film and let rise 10-15 minutes. It may not rise much and it will in the oven.
  18. Put in 340 degree preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

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

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.

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.

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.
