Low carb peanut butter cheesecake
This is by no means an every day food but for special occasions like birthdays or when you just can't go another day without something sweet this will work a treat!
It's essentially the filling from a Peanut Butter cheesecake so all the creamy yumminess without the guilt.
Ingredients
500g full fat cream cheese
3 eggs
3 egg yolks
20g Splenda
125ml sour cream
250g smooth sugar free peanut butter
Double cream and Splenda to serve
Blend the ingredients until smooth in a liquidiser.
Pour into a 23cm springform tin and bake at 170deg for 40 mins or until the middle has just stopped wobbling.
Leave to cool in the tin and transfer to the fridge overnight.
If you can eat dark chocolate you can make a topping with some of that melted with splenda...I just had a blob of the cream mix and it was uber!0 -

I just made this fabulous breakfast casserole this week and I'm so glad I did! So yummy and very low carb. I made the casserole on Sunday and have been taking a slice for breakfast all week. What a time saver in the morning
Putting it together wasn't hard, but it needs to sit for 8 hours or overnight before baking. I've been fighting the hubs and kids off it all week... otherwise it would definitely be gone!

1 pound bulk pork sausage
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
3/4 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
12 eggs
2/3 cup whipping cream
Directions
1.In a large skillet, cook the sausage, beef, onion, mushrooms and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in salt and pepper; set aside.

Broccoli and Celeriac Cheese Bake - serves 4-6
I invented this yesterday with what I happened to have in to accompany fish... it'd work with any veg.
1 Small Celeriac
1 large Broccoli Head
1 tub Philadelphia Cream Cheese
150ml Double Cream
2 cloves crushed garlic
pinch nutmeg
150g Mozzarella
2 large handfuls grated cheddar cheese
salt
pepper
preheat oven to 180deg C
Cut the Celeriac into large dices and boil for 5 mins before adding the broccoli to the boiling water. Continue to boil until completely tender.
In the meantime combine the cream cheese, cream and garlic in another saucepan and slow heat until the cream cheese has melted. season with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Now add 3/4 of the grated cheddar and stir until melted. Remove from heat.
Drain the veg, making sure to remove as much water as possible (otherwise it'll leave a watery sauce at the bottom of the dish) and transfer into a baking dish.
Tear the mozzarella into largeish chunks and disperse throughout the veg.
Pour the cheese/cream sauce over the top and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake for 30mins or until cheddar has gone brown and delicious.0
