Low carbs recipes

Masharitos

1 1/2 cups flax seed meal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons sugar substitute (or less)
2-3 egg whites, beaten until soft peaks form
1/2 cup water
4 teaspoons olive oil
Spices optional (I've added garlic, fennel seed, pepper, onion powder in the past)

Directions:

1
Preheat oven to 425.
2
Combine dry ingredients and mix with fork or whisk.
3
Make a well in the center and add wet ingredients ( except egg whites) and mix well.
4
Using your clean hands, gently fold in egg whites 1/3 at a time, making sure eggs integrate well.
5
Let sit for five minutes.
6
Spread on greased cookie sheet on parchment paper to desired thickness, I like it to be about 9 x 10 inches.
7
Bake 15-20 minutes.

Remove to wire rack to let cool. Once I left it in the pan and the bottom was a bit moist. Depending on how you cut it, your macros will look different. I've doubled the recipe and had 18 squares for 101 cal, 8 F, 5P, ZERO CARBS! 5g of fiber.

Perfect for a sammich, great for any low carb diet. It's just plain better for you than any whole wheat bread, period. I've heard that using golden flax seed meal will give a more subtle taste of the flax, but I haven't tried that yet.

If you don't feel like beating the eggs, I'm sure you can get away with just dumping it all in at once. The idea is to give the bread a bit of fluff/air pockets.

Oops, this is a recipe for Flat Flax Seed Bread.

Grilled Chicken Burgers
Original Recipe Yield 8 servings

Ingredients
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms
• 1 tomato, seeded and chopped
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 2 pounds ground chicken
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon Seasoning
• salt to taste
• black pepper to taste
Directions
1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
2. Lightly spray a saute pan with cooking or oil spray over medium heat. Saute the onion with the garlic first, then the bell pepper, then the mushrooms, tomatoes and carrots, all to desired tenderness. Set aside and allow all vegetables to cool completely.
3. In a large bowl, combine the chicken and vegetables. Add the egg, bread crumbs and seasonings to taste. Mix all together well and form into 8 patties.
4. Grill over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.

This recipe sounds like it would be very yummy, but it is NOT low carb! A 1/2 C breadcrumbs has 40 grams of carbs and 2 large carrots have nearly 25 grams of carbs. Sorry.

superstankazz - You're kidding right?!! :noway: Because what you shared would only be true if you ate all 8 of the burgers in one sitting.

Pretty sure that's not what most of us would do... I find this thread to be more about sharing healthy ways to eat and cook with healthier foods and ways to create new meals to try out. Plus you can always opt out of a particular ingredient and substitute with what you prefer. :flowerforyou:

Yummy... Have you tried the cauliflower pizza crust?
or lasagna made ith egg plant and no noodles?

Though I've not tried them yet, I have seen recipes for eggplant and also zucchini veggie lasagna, they both sound delish!

Can't wait to try out this bread, it does sound yum! Regarding the sweetener, is it better to use dry or is wet sweetener OK with this particular recipe? Thanks!

I used Truvia, will try Stevia (but I'm still not sure about the taste). I'm not sure what you mean by wet, agave? That will increase the carb and calorie count. I'm sure you can try it. The recipe will yield about 8-9 squares (rather small) so I'd add 1/8 cup of agave or honey if wet. I didn't use the entire 1/4 cup because I didn't want it so sweet. Let me know how it turns out. Last one I made was 18 squares (doubled recipe with 5 egg whites).

I microwave food to reheat. But I'm wary of actually cooking something in it. I found this recipe... I just can't take that first leap, but I thought I'd share it with you all. It's for a flax cup muffin. If you want zero carbs, omit the cinnamon. It got great reviews, so if you try it, let us know how it came out.

I made this alfredo sauce the other day. It's perfect for the Keto-er who has a large calorie bank. High fat, mod protein, zero carbs. I, unfortunately, can only have about 1/8 cup because 1/4 would be a whole meal for me calorie wise. The recipe totals are 2929 cal, 277F, 48 P (2 carbs if you add two cloves of garlic), for 1/8 cup 244 cal, 23F, 4P (a tiny bit of carb w garlic). The sauce was delicious, and I'll be making a lot of it for my boyfriend whose goal is to gain weight. Healthy? Not exactly. Very Keto friendly, low/no carb.

Ingredients

1 pint heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese

In a medium saucepan combine whipping cream, butter or margarine.
Add grated Parmesan cheese a bit at a time while continuously stirring.
Cook over medium low heat until smooth. Remove from heat. Sauce will thicken upon standing.

If using garlic, add some of the butter and garlic, and let it get fragrant before adding the cream and the rest of the butter.
Sauce will harden when refrigerated. You can microwave it and give it a beating (butter and cream will separate) before serving. If you put 1/4 cup on some miracle noodles and let them absorb the flavor, it would still be under 500 cal.

Chop cooked cauliflower into very small pieces.
Mix sour cream, 1/2 of the green onions, 1/2 of the cheese, 1/2 of the bacon, and salt and pepper to taste in medium bowl.
