Today I feasted on Pork Rind flour french toast! It is so good! I buttered and used sugar free syrup. Very filling!
PORK RIND FLOUR FRENCH TOAST SERVES 2
Run 1/2 bag of pork rinds through your food processor to make fine crumbs.
Add 2 eggs to the food processor
1tblsp cream, 1 tblsp water
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tblsp splenda
Mix in the food processor until goopy! Let sit about 5 mins.
Heat oil in a skillet, no higher them medium high.
Drop the batter into the hot oil to make 2 big pancakes.
Let them brown until crispy and then flip. Continue cooking until browned on the bottom. Plate, add butter and SF syrup. This has the texture of bread! It is awesome. I dare you to try it!
I just took your dare (I had some extra pork rinds b/c I don't like them- and still had them.) These are excellent. Thank you so much for sharing, I would have never thought of this!!!0 -

This is something I made on a whim last night and it turned out amazing.
Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts
4 chicken breasts, pounded to about 1/4 inch thickness
4 oz. cream cheese
4 oz. monterey jack cheese, shredded
16 oz. spinach (I used PictSweet, a whole bag)
Seasonings you like (I used garlic powder and onion powder)
Season the chicken breasts and set aside,
Cook spinach (try to add only a little water, less to squeeze out). Let cool, wrap in a dish towel and wring the excess water out of the spinach.
Soften the cream cheese and add to the spinach. Stir in the monterey jack.
Spread a 1/4 of the mixture onto each flattened chicken breast. Roll them up and place them on a cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.
I ate mine with ranch dressing--delish!0 -
Micro Cheesecake!
http://yourlighterside.com/minute-microwave-cheesecake/
Not the greatest consistency, but I am going to try and use a mixing machine next time. Also, the serving size is HUGE - so you can cut back about 1/4 and still be happy. I also enjoyed whipped cream (made by me) on the runny side on it because it tasted good mixed in. Just used a few stevia drops in the cream to sweeten it. I used too few stevia drops in the cake.... It wasn't sweet at all. So play around with it!0 -
Avo-Tziki .... a revelation! If you love TzaTziki , you'll love this too. Tastes very similar, low carb and high fat content. Used it as a salad dressing last night and will be using as a dip with my veggies at lunch today. Yum! 1 oz is significantly more calorie content, but it's all good stuff - avocado, cucumber, olive oil ... had it on a salad which we topped with grilled flank steak.
Avo-Tziki recipe
2 avocados, food processed or smashed with a fork until smooth and creamy
4 tbsp olive oil
6 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 medium cucumber, peel on, finely grated
salt & pepper to taste (I don't think it needs any, personally)
whisk olive oil and lemon juice into avocados until emulsified. Stir in cucumber. Refrigerate 1/2 hour to 24 hours. Serve as salad dressing, dip for veggies, etc.

OH MY GOSH. This is SO GOOD.
I altered the recipe from this:
http://veggiewonder.blogspot.com/2012/01/easy-mocha-pudding.html
4 oz FULL FAT greek yogurt
1 T unsweetened cocoa powder
8 drops of stevia
1/4 (or less actually) of vanilla extract
1 t of espresso powder.
Whip it up - 5 net carbs and it is UNREAL how good it is!!! I am just now adding back yogurt to my diet - full fat is lower in carbs.
I may eat this everyday. WOW!!!0 -
Mock Potato Soup
1 cup Cauliflower, diced/chunked/ripped apart (do whatever works for you, lol)
2 Cups of Chicken broth
2 Laughing Cow Cheese wedges
Garnish Suggestions: Bacon (crisp and crumbled), Green onions, Cheddar Cheese, Parsley, a dallop of Sour Cream, Salt and Pepper to Taste.
In a large pot, bring cauliflower and broth to a boil. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the cauliflower is tender. Add additional broth if needed
Place soup into a bowl and put 1/2 of it into a blender, add last cup of broth and blend. Dump back into pot.
Put another 1/2 of soup into blender, add Laughing Cow Cheese and blend. Dump back into pot.
Serve and pile on your toppings of choice.
NOTE: To add protein, I usually saute scallops and then add them in just before serving. Or I broil fish to go along side.
You can use the same recipe to make broccoli soup. I add shredded cheddar to that.0 -
Full Fat Greek Yogurt - 4 oz
PB2 - 1 T (half a serving)
Splash of vanilla extract
Sweetener - I use stevia drops

This makes a wonderful soup base for all kinds of recipes- I make clam chowder with it. Right after the "soup" is ready, add 1 tsp of dried basil, 1/2 tsp of paprika, minced garlic and simmer a bit. Dump a couple of cans of minced clams (I use the juice too), and just heat. Don't bring to a boil or the clams will get rubbery. If the soup isn't think enough, I just sprinkle in a little xantham gum powder and stir. I completely fooled my non-vegetable-eating son with this. He loved it! I bet it would make a good seafood chowder with clams, scallops, and fish - I may have to try that next time!0 -
