High Protein/Lo Carbers...Recipes and info

Sweet Bliss · 03-13-2016, 06:09 PM

Jesse, why the leeks? Couldn't we just make it without the S&P? I don't cook with either. I have recently discovered Himalayan salt, it is doing fabulous things for my health!! Has put an end to my diabetic neuropathy in my feet, such a blessing. I'm hoping with enough time I will begin to heal my heart. I might add H Salt to this recipe, but pepper is not even in my kitchen. LoL....

Oh, and you mentioned a long time ago that you were able to buy virgin coconut oil in 5 Gallon bucket? Could you share that with us? I use it for everything..... Every little thing. It is healing the skin on my cats where the fleas have eaten them up and left sores and scabs, cured a nasty spider bite on my hip, helping me lose fat, stopping my false appetite, and more.

Thank you by the way for this thread, I've learned so much and benefited from all the tips and suggestions, and I share them with all my friends and people I meet along the way.... Namaste'

Ingredients:
1/4 cup of Leeks- cut into half moons. (Slice down the middle lengthwise, then make thin slices across)
1 cup of lite or regular coconut milk
Salt and pepper
1 Lime- cut into wedges

Instructions:

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in skillet over medium heat.

Stir leeks in and cook for about 1 minute, stir constantly

Add 1 cup of coconut milk,(You can use lite or regular, lite will have less calories & carbs) increase heat to medium-high until simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low until the sauce is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 5 or 6 minutes depending on your stove.

S&P to taste. Spoon on top of broiled/baked fish* and serve with a lime wedge if desired.

*Also really good with grilled butterflied shrimp

Sweet Bliss,

I am not the original creator of the recipe, but can say that to me leeks add a nice taste with the coconut milk & lime. I would assume the recipe could be made just as well without using the leek, try it and see what works best for you.

As for S&P, again, it is what was in the original recipe that I got from a paleo friend of mine. Lol! I add cayenne to mine because I like it better with the lime and prefer it's anti-inflammatory health benefits. Again, adjust as you see fit.

I do not buy coconut oil in 5 gallon buckets because it would likely go rancid before I would personally use that amount, seeing as it is just me and Sadie here. I buy mine online and make sure it is organic cold pressed. I buy from a couple of different places depending on price and stock. I know there are places that do carry it in bulk.

I am glad that you are finding stuff here that benefits you.

Indian Spiced Ghee

Author: Katja from Savory Lotus

Ingredients:

1 and ½ cup ghee (make at home or buy here)
2 tsp mustard seed
2 tsp cumin seed
4 tsp turmeric
2 tsp coriander powder
½ tsp cumin powder
1 tsp ginger powder
½ tsp cinnamon powder
3 tsp fennel seeds
5 whole cardamom pods, crushed

Directions:

1. Gently heat ¼ cup ghee in a heavy bottom pan on MEDIUM LOW.
2. Once melted, add mustard and cumin seeds and turn down heat to LOW. Allow to cook for 35 minutes, stirring once in a while.
3. Meanwhile place rest of spices in a small bowl.
4. Add spice mix to pot and continue to cook on LOW for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The spices will become fragrant.
5. Pour in the rest of the ghee and allow to warm on LOW for 20 minutes, uncovered. Be sure that it is very LOW.
The ghee should not bubble in any way. The low heat is just to help the spices infuse.

This Paleo pizza crust sounds pretty good. I may make the dough and see how it turns out so I thought I would share it here.

Just in time for Easter, a deviled egg recipe using cultured sour cream or organic yogurt instead of mayo that actually tastes good! I prefer it with the yogurt, mostly because I usually have some in the fridge.

Here's the recipe as copied from the website:

Deviled Eggs Sans Mayonnaise

Recipe type: Appetizer, Snack- Prep time: 5 mins - Cook time: 20 mins
Total time: 25 mins

Ingredients:
6 pastured eggs, hard boiled
A scant ¼ cup of cultured sour cream or whole organic yogurt
2 tablespoons bacon fat
1 teaspoon raw apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon chipotle chili powder
Fresh or dried parsley to taste
Cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions
1. Place 6 eggs in a pot with enough cold water to cover by at least an inch or two.
2. Place on stove and bring to a boil.
3. Once boiling remove from heat and place a lid on the pot and let sit for 12 minutes (be sure to use your kitchen
timer.)
4. For the next step, you can either remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place in an ice bath. Or, simple
place the pot in the sink and run cold water in the pot until it is cool, adding some ice once the water is no
longer warm.
5. Let the eggs sit for a few minutes to cool, and then go ahead and peel them.
6. Slice the eggs in half and scoop out the cooked yolks placing them into a small mixing bowl.
7. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Taste the mixture to see if you want a bit more spice or salt, it takes a few minutes before the flavors meld.
8. Scoop the filling into each egg and serve.
9. Additionally, the mixture can be kept in a lidded bowl separate from the eggs until you are ready to serve if you like, especially if you need to transport the eggs to a picnic or a party.

I have been doing a high protein, low carb eating plan for the last couple of months and I like it a lot.

Sometimes, I do crave sweets and am too lazy to make a low-carb desert, so I will have some of this great ice cream that I read about on a keto website.

It is not easy to find but I did find it at a local health food store. You can also order it online if desperate!

Hey, about the starchy carb cravings, I have found out that my magnesium levels are extremely low, and it's the low Mag levels that cause my cravings, so I have investigated the Natural salt remedy.

I have gotten amazing results. My Diabetic Neuropathy is GONE. The constant pain all over my body is GONE. The aching and stiffness is
GONE.

I highly recommend watching this video, take good notes!!!

I found a couple of "peanut butter" cookies recipes and no, peanut butter is not Paleo but these look like super alternatives.

Anyone else have good cookie recipes you have tried?

Paleo Peanut Butter Cookies

Serves: 4

Ingredients
1 cup almond butter
⅓ cup honey
¼ cup palm sugar
3 tablespoons coconut flour
1 egg
½ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
In a bowl combine almond butter, honey, egg, and baking soda
Add palm sugar and coconut flour and mix well
Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes

Where does Palm sugar come from?

As the name implies, palm sugar comes from palm trees. While this type of sugar was originally made from the Palmyra palm – also known as the date palm or sugar date palm – it is now made from the nipa palm and the Arenga pinnata (sugar palm) as well. This type of sugar is made from sap collected by making slits in the stem of the palm tree. The collected sap is then boiled until it is thickened. A similar product can also be made from coconut palms and is generally referred to as coconut palm sugar. The difference is that coconut palm sugar is derived from the flower buds of the coconut palm whereas traditional palm sugar is collected from the tree itself.

Paleo Almond Butter Cookies
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: 18 Cookies

This is a wonderful nut cookie recipe base - experiment with different nut butters and Paleo-friendly add-ins, like chocolate chips from Navitas Naturals Cacao Nibs, coconut shreds, chopped nuts, etc.

Ingredients

1 cup natural almond butter
3/4 cup coconut palm sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Coarse sea salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Line baking sheet with parchment paper or use a Silpat mat.
In a medium bowl, mix all the ingredients except the coarse sea salt, until well combined.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of mixture about 1 inch apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
Flatten the mounds with a fork and make a crosshatch (or other) pattern on the cookies.
Sprinkle coarse salt on top of the cookies.
Bake about 10 minutes or until golden around edges, switching the position of the pans halfway thorough baking.
Transfer freshly-baked cookies to a cooling rack and let rest.
