High Protein/Lo Carbers...Recipes and info

Jesse · 05-04-2016, 11:20 AM

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:

In my quest for different breakfast ideas, I bought some smoked salmon and cream cheese at Trader Joes. I did roll-ups and they tasted like bagels (kind of and minus the bagels) lox and cream cheese.

It was a treat.

I have truly discovered this week that I just can't eat carbs. Ever since my cracker episode last week; the cravings are back. It shocks me because I have eaten so few net carbs each day since December and was not craving them at all.

Time to get clean again.

Low Carb Cauliflower Breadsticks with fresh herbs, garlic, and lots of ooey gooey cheese atop a cauliflower crust looks and tastes like cheesy bread.

Author: Life Tastes Good

Recipe type: Appetizer

Serves: 4-6 Servings

INGREDIENTS
1 head cauliflower, riced
1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 cup shaved Parmesan Cheese
1 large egg
1/2 tablespoon freshly minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon freshly chopped basil
1/2 tablespoon freshly chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
To rice the cauliflower I cored it and broke it into florets. Then I placed it in the bowl of my food processor and pulsed until it was the texture of rice.

In a large bowl, mix the riced cauliflower, 1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, 1/2 tablespoon fresh garlic, 1/2 tablespoon fresh basil, 1/2 tablespoon fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until combined and holds together. Place the mixture onto the parchment lined baking sheet and spread out into a rectangle about 9x7" and 1/4" thick.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes (oven temperatures may vary and you may have to adjust the temperature or time). Remove from oven and top with 3/4 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese and return to oven to continue baking until the cheese is melted and starting to brown. Cool about 10 minutes and cut into 'breadsticks'. Garnish with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese. Serve with your favorite Red Sauce and enjoy!

==============

I haven't tried this, but it looks tasty and easy to make.

I made this yesterday and it didn't taste anything like cheesy bread, but it is good. The taste reminded me of macaroni and cheese more than anything else.

I had some last night without any red sauce and I brought some to work with me to have as a snack today. Not sure I'll make this again, but it wasn't a waste of time nor money.
