High Protein/Lo Carbers...Recipes and info

I made Paleo brownies yesterday from a mix and melted the coconut oil and forgot to add it to the batter. I forgot it was in the microwave. Out of sight and all that.

It was so thick, I couldn't stir it.

I thought, what is wrong with this? I had some organic, unsweetened applesauce and thought, WTH, so added some. I didn't even check to see if ok to do it, didn't count the net carbs either.

Came out semi-ok. I just needed a desert bite or two.

Jesse, the link below for granola doesn't work for me. Maybe it's my iPad?

Thanks Anya. It seems that anediblemosiac.com is having server problems. Hopefully they will get it straightened out soon.

P.S. The raw brownie bites posted at the top of this page are pretty good, plus they are good for you.

Anya, I happened across this grain free brownie recipe and thought about you.

Unbelievably quick and easy to make, these hassle-free brownie bites come together in just 20 minutes. Though they're vegan, grain-free, and Paleo-friendly, you'd never know it from the fudgy texture and rich chocolate flavor.

Double-Chocolate Brownie Bites

Yield: One 8x4-inch pan
Active Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
3 tablespoons water
1 1/2 cup cashews, walnuts, or pecans
11 medjool dates, pitted
2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup chopped dark chocolate

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 8x4-inch baking tin or loaf pan with parchment paper.

Mix together ground flaxseeds with water in small bowl, and set aside.

Place nuts and dates in bowl of food processor fitted with blade attachment and pulse to roughly combine. Add cacao, baking soda, vanilla extract, salt, and flaxseed mixture and process thoroughly until ingredients form a homogenous batter. Stir in chopped chocolate.

Scrape batter into prepared tin and bake 10 minutes in oven. Cool completely before cutting into bite-size pieces.

Unfortunately for me, I am still firmly attached to dairy products, well not milk, definitely cheese & yogurt!

That said, this coconut "yogurt" recipe was in one of the newsletters that hits my inbox on a regular basis and I thought I would post it here in case anyone is interested in trying it. It's not listed but this is also Paleo.

Super Thick Coconut "Yogurt"

Vegan, gluten-free, grain-free, no bake/raw, nut-free, oil-free, soy-free

This “shortcut” coconut yogurt is as simple and fresh as it
gets! I occasionally buy coconut yogurt from the grocery
store, but when I want something that is super fresh and
without any added ingredients I will make this version for a
fun treat. Granted, it's not a true yogurt since there's no
fermentation, but I love how quick this version is....
http://herballegacy.com/Super%20Thic...t%20Yogurt.pdf

Ingredients:
2 cups fresh young Thai coconut meat (or thawed Young Thai Coconut Meat, see headnote)
1/2 cup coconut water (or use filtered water in a pinch)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (reduce for a less tart flavor)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon probiotic powder, optional (you can empty probiotic capsules, if desired)
pinch of pink salt or fine grain sea salt
liquid sweetener to taste (I use 1 tablespoon natural cane sugar)

Directions:

1. Add all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend on low, gradually increasing the speed to high, until super smooth. Keep blending until it’s not grainy anymore. Adjust sweetness to taste by adding sweetener if desired and blending again. I add a tablespoon of cane sugar and blend on high to pulverize it in my Vitamix.

2. Spoon the yogurt into an air-tight container and chill in the fridge for at least a couple hours.

3. Serve with granola and chia seed jam, parfait-style, if desired. Or simply enjoy alone.

Does anyone else eat organ meats? I do, but I buy from the farmers/ranchers who raise grass fed, pesticide free, cruelty free, non-gmo.

Anyway, my reason for asking is I wanted to tell you about these awesome burgers that you make using bacon ends and pieces, liver, and whatever type of ground beef you prefer, be it cow,bison or what have you, same goes for the liver. I'll post the recipe link but basically you grind the bacon and liver together, and mix it in with your ground beef and whatever seasonings you want then cook it. It will grind in your food processor, but it only takes a second or two...too much and you will have liver soup. I think these are possibly the best burgers I have ever had. To me, they do not taste like liver, rather the ground beef just tastes enhanced... richer...better.

Good morning low carbers!

I have had a difficult time this week. I even bought a box of carb crackers for some crazy reason-maybe the prednisone I am on-and then ate about 15 of them till I threw them in the trash. Had to move on from that and get back on track.

The thing I love the most about low carb eating is, for me, no guilt eating. I still can't believe that I can have some real whipped cream on sugar-free jello and it is OK.

My last UA showed trace of ketones a (I don't have diabetes so it is not unsafe for me) and I was so happy because I do a rough count of net carbs, I do not count them perfectly. I am not losing weight but am not gaining either. I am working on mentally readying to be more serious about counting them.

I had gained about 20 lbs since the beginning of my relationship (she is a great cook) but wound up losing 28 lbs during my hospitalization and recovery. I don't want to gain it back again!

I just miss bread sometimes and none of the paleo/low carb breads I have tried were any good to me. There may be one out there that I don't have to make from scratch but I have not found one.

Anyway, back to recipes. I love waffles and have tried several recipes. The one I did this morning is very similar to the one I always made for my daughters as they grew up. It was from the original Joy of Cooking (I still have this cookbook) and the egg whites are folded separately into the mix so they come out light and fluffy.

The low carb waffles are worth the extra work. You see 5 eggs and think it will make a million waffles but it only made about 4 and a half. I will freeze the rest and heat up on a morning I can't face eggs again.

Happy eating and sorry for the length of this post. It is a true confessions kind of morning:
