    Some of my family favourites:

    Spicy chicken:

    4 Chicken portions
    2 tablespoon(s) Parmasan cheese
    2 teaspoon(s) Garam masala
    1 teaspoon(s) Garlic salt
    0.5 teaspoon(s) Salt
    1 teaspoon(s) Black pepper
    0.5 teaspoon(s) Ground Arrowroot
    10 grams Lard

    Put lard into a frying pan and melt. Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Coat the whole chicken portion and put in the heated lard. When the coating is fried and all crispy turn the heat down and let the chicken cook all the way through. Serve with loads of green veg or a salad

    Serves 4

    Nutritional info:

    Kcal: 284 kcal
    Carbs: 4g
    Proteins: 37g
    Fat: 14g

    Cheesecake:

    125 grams Almond FLour
    50 grams Desiccated Coconut
    50 grams Butter
    2 tablespoon(s) Vanilla Extract
    300 grams Philadelphia
    50 grams Sweetner (xylitol)
    2 tablespoon(s) Sweetner (xylitol)
    2 teaspoon(s) Liquid Stevia
    1.5 cup(s) Double Cream

    Mix almond flour, desiccated coconut, Sweetner together, melt butter and add, mix well.
    Line a pop bottom tin with baking sheet at the bottom and sides.
    Press mix into bottom of tin and press down firmly.
    Baked for 15 minutes until a little golden.
    Leave to go very cold, put in fridge.
    Mix cream cheese with Sweetener, liquid stevia, vanilla extract Until smooth.
    In a separate bowl whisk double cream until soft peaks, add whipped cream to cream cheese mix and beat well to mix all together.
    Spoon mixture into the cold tin base mixture and press into edges and cover all.
    Put in fridge for a good few hours.

    You can use the base just as cookies, I add around another 15-20g of butter if I am making them into cookies, they are soo good. I don't have the nutritional info for this - sorry. It serves 6-8

    Caveman crumble:

    200 grams Almond flour
    250 grams Rhubarb
    100 grams Strawberries
    20 grams Splenda
    60 grams Softened butter

    Stew the rhubarb in 10g the Splenda until just soft, then put it and the strawberry's into an ovenproof dish. Mix the almond flour and butter until it resembles breadcrumbs, add in the other 10g of Splenda, cover the fruit mixture with the crumble mixture. Cook at around 150 degrees for 30-40 minutes. I ended up serving it with lashings of single cream.

    Nutritional info:

    Kcal: 356 kcal

    This recipe for Cauliflower Au Gratin is so good, I have made it many times. It's easier to post the link because you make a homemade alfredo sauce for it, which is a separate recipe on the food blog site.. My husband isn't eating low carb with me, but he requests this for dinner regularly, it is that good. I took a batch to Easter dinner and everyone wanted the recipe.

    It is from the DJ Foodie blog. If you haven't heard of him, his site is awesome for low carb recipes! I check it daily. He is a famous chef who went low carb, has lost a bucnch of weight, and loves to create low carb versions of all your favorite meals.

    Here is the link for Cauliflower Au Gratin:

    I am loving my cloud bread right now. After about a year without bread, I am in heaven!! It has less than 1 net carb for 2 slices! Just make sure it's sits in the fudge in a ziploc Baggie at least over night. It's not that good right after it cools, but it is awesome the next day and even better the day after!

    1 can tomato sauce (I used trader joe's marinara sauce because that's what I had on hand and it worked fine)

    2 cups ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese)
    1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

    2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

    1. brown sausage, drain fat and stir in tomato sauce
    2. preheat oven to 350
    3. combine spinach, ricotta cheese, parmesan and egg, mix well (I mixed in food processer)
    4. spread mixture in bottom of 9x13 baking dish, spoon sausage mixture over , and mozzerella on top.
    5. bake for 40 minutes

    Anyone have a recipe for a low carb sweet fix that doesn't use artificial sweeteners? (can't have stevia either) I'm googling, but coming up kind of stumped.

    Unfortunately, trying to get sweetness without something having carbs or sweetener isn't really possible. The sweetness has to come from something. If you're unwilling to use stevia, artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols, then that doesn't leave much option.

    I would go with Dark chocolate. Lindt extra dark chocolate truffles are net 4 g each. Ghiradelli 86% dark are net 2.6 g each.

    Maybe puréed strawberries whipped into cream? Or dark chocolate whipped into cream?

    I have just come across this, different to the usual cauliflower pizza and looks SO tasty :)
    I usually make my own sauces, but if you were buying store made just make sure sugar isnt too high.

    Need some bread for a sammy? Here is what I found that fills the bill for me!

    FOCACCIA STYLE FLAX-ALMOND BREAD

    1 cup of flax seed meal
    1cup of almond flour
    1 tblsp of baking powder
    1 tsp salt
    1-2 tblsp Splenda
    5 beaten eggs
    1/2 cup water
    1/3 cup of vegetable oil or coconut oil

    Grease a jelly roll pan that you have lined with parchment paper. (grease the paper too!)
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
    Mix all the dry ingredients.
    Mix all the wet ingredients.
    Pour the wet into the center of the dry and mix until no more dry is visible.
    Pour batter into the middle of the prepared pan and spread into a rectangle.

    Place in preheated oven for 20 mins. Cut into 12 pieces. Store in frig!

    Do you have a nutritional breakdown for this? How many carbs is in each recipe?

    I completely miss jam, but it all has so much sugar and pectin. Ugh

    Found this today on Facebook today, gonna have to try it!

    tumblr_mq55vdD6ux1r5lqo2o1_1280.jpg

    The macros work out very nicely. It makes 2 cups and 1/4 cup seems like a reasonable serving size.

    Macros for full recipe: Fat = 11g, Protein = 8g, Carbs = 57g, Fiber = 17g, Sugar = 45g

    Macros for a serving: Fat = 1g, Protein = 1g, Carbs = 7g, Fiber = 2g, Sugar = 6g

    That's pretty darn good, net 5g of carbs in any given serving of something is where I try to be. Gonna try it out and see how it tastes.

    Love this one:

    Mom's Prize-Winning Zucchini Casserole

    Prep Time: 20 minutes
    Cook Time: 40 minutes
    Total Time: 1 hour
    Ingredients:

    1 lb. zucchini (approximately 2 medium)
    1 Tbsp olive oil
    1/3 cup chopped onion (about 1/2 of a medium onion)
    3 cloves garlic
    3/4 lb. tomatoes (fresh or canned - about a one lb. can of whole tomatoes, drained)
    1 tsp Italian herbs or oregano
    Salt and pepper
    1 cup Italian cheese mixture (packaged, or a mix including, for example, Mozzarella, Parmesan, provolone)

    Preparation:
    Heat oven to 400° F.

    1) Heat the oil in a medium saucepan. Sauté the onion in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for another 30 to 60 seconds, until the garlic is fragrant. Cut tomatoes in 3 to 5 pieces, and add, along with the herbs and spices.

    2) Cook over medium heat until the liquid is mostly gone (but not dry), stirring occasionally -- it should end up being about a cup. This should take about 5 to 10 minutes.

    3) Meanwhile, cut the zucchini into slices approximately ¼ inch thick. Take the largest slices and line the bottom of a 9 X 9" or 8 X 8" pan.

    4) Spread about ¼ of the tomato mixture on the zucchini (don't even try to spread evenly; it won't work), followed by ¼ cup of the cheese.

    5) Continue layering. It should come out to four layers, but if it only makes three, just try to divide things relatively evenly. Don't put the final layer of cheese on yet.

    6) Bake for 20 minutes. Top with the rest of the cheese, and lower the temperature to 375 F. Bake for about 20 more minutes, or until cheese is golden brown.

    Makes 9 smallish servings.

    Nutritional Information: Each serving has 3 grams effective carbohydrate plus 1 gram fiber, 5 grams protein, and 78 calories.
