I just found a recipe for real ice cream that uses gelatin, so I'm going to try the recipe with agar and other substitutes in a couple if days. http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/chocolate_cookie_walnut_crunch_ice_cream.html

Once I polish off what I made yesterday, I'm giving this a try. Minus the nuts and cookies (just in case it turns out bad).

But I'm thinking that what I made yesterday would work well as a popsicle since it's solid like one. Must purchase molds.

I use Truvia. I like the taste. But I'm want something that isn't absorbed by the body, so I'm working my way into Stevia. It'll be easier once I up my carb intake in a month or two. But for now, I'll work with what I have. My favorite is Maltitol. It's delicious in small amounts. Even the runs are worth it, tee hee hee.

And thank you very much :)

I didn't see this posted so here is my contribution:

Italian sausage, broccoli and egg muffins.( Makes 12)

1lb Italian Sausage (I used 450g of Tesco mediterranean sausage)
1 cup of Broccoli florets
8 large eggs
1/4 cup of milk (I used low fat)
1/2 tbsp veg oil (I used light olive oil)
1/2 tsp baking powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese

Directions


1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
2. In a large saute pan, over medium high heat, brown Italian Sausage for about 5 minutes, or until the sausage is no longer pink. Remove from heat and stir in broccoli.
3. Whisk together eggs, milk, oil and baking powder. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Lightly spray a 12-cupcake pan with oil.Spoon out the sausage and broccoli mixture evenly into each cupcake.
5. Ladle the egg mixture over sausage and broccoli.
6. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

I ate two of these for breakfast with some grilled mushrooms this morning and they were fabulous. The sausage is really spicy and they just fill you up completely. They were super easy to make (I premade them last night) and you can freeze and reheat as you want them. Also if you're using the Tesco sausages, remember to remove the meat from the casing. I found it easier to separate the links, then cut each sausage in half to slip the casing off.

For two the nutritional info I got (with my modifications) was:
Cals: 150
Carbs: 14
Fat: 5
Protein: 12
Sodium: 464 (I forgot to add the Salt and pepper, so the sodium is probably a bit higher than that)
Sugar: 3

(I post photos in the blog, then copy paste here out of laziness. Forgive me)

Now that I've eaten this same meal several times, I thought I'd post. It's not so much a recipe as throwing stuff together. You can change the amount of ingredients to fit your macros for the day. 2 or 3 slices of bacon? 1 or 2 oz of cheese? Up to you. Want a veggie in there? Chop it up and toss it in. I've had this as high as 660 cal, but am posting the lower version which is what is in the picture , and is currently being chewed. Om nom nom... nom.



Ingredients:

1 package miracle noodles (Fetuccini in the photo), washed according to directions and patted dry.

2 slices Godshall's Beef Bacon (use what you like/calculate)

1 oz Natural White Cheddar, thinly sliced or shredded (it's all gonna melt anyway)

1 can Solid White Albacore in Wate, drained

Spices optional (no salt needed)



Directions:

Fry up your bacon to desired crispiness, take out of the pan and set aside.

Throw you noodles into the pan on medium heat for a minute or two. Let them soak up some of that bacon fat, get some color and flavor.

Put noodles into a bowl (I like to cut them up prior to adding anything because it's easier to stir later, just chop them up randomly). Add spices, if using. I like freshly ground black pepper and some garlic powder.

Crumble (or rip) bacon into pieces and mix into the noodles.

Break up tuna in the can to desired pieces. You'll want 1cm pieces at least so you have something to chew on. Throw that in, and mix it up.

Top of with the cheese. You can mix it right away, or pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Take it out, mix, mix, and enjoy.

Note: The whole dish tastes like bacon. Both noodles and tuna will absorb the flavor, so don't worry about it tasting like fish too much.

If you like these ingredients separately, as I do, then I think you'll like this easy dish.

Macros: 440 cal, 30F, 40P, ZERO net

I'm wondering nutrition label on the bacon includes fat derived from bacon. Meaning 100 cal per slice, raw or cooked and drained of excess fat? Hmmm... label doesn't say anything.

Either way. NO CARBS!

Just finished watching Fat Head and I'm sooo delighted. He mentioned his favorite snack (while on a high fat diet, which I'm assuming is Keto from the foods he was consuming) was shredded cheese fried in coconut oil. Well, I happen to have both.... Tomorrow, it's on!

This sounds good I am going to make it ASAP. By the way you said your stevia is bitter, have you tried nunaturals stevia? It is the only stevia I use it is not bitter or has a after taste I tasted it right out of the small pkg.

All of those look delicious, and I'm not just saying that because we have the same plates. Some are way too high in carbs, but we can adjust and sub. Thanks for sharing!

bump! Thanks!

Brownies to start, but this site looks like it has a ton of interesting recipes for low carbers. http://sinorslim.com/desserts/low-carb-protein-brownies/

I will add one: My super easy salmon patties

1 can (14.25 oz.) can of WILD CAUGHT salmon, drained and flaked
2 eggs
spices to taste (I sprinkle a little cajun or blackened seasoning on as the cook)

In a bowl combine the drained and flaked salmon and the 2 eggs until mixed well. The mixture will be very wet, don't worry they will firm up on the pan.
Divide into five "patties, or when I cook them they are more like blobs. Cook in a non-stick pan or cast iron skillet for a few minutes over medium heat, flip and use spatula to flatten into patties.

When light to medium brown on both sides they are done. You will get some egg that oozes out of them and cooks, that is a great gauge on "doneness"

142 calories 6 grams fat 21 grams protein. ZERO carbs!
Remember the fat is rich in Omega 3's.
Also, I found wild canned salmon at Aldi's for $2.29. So they end up being like $.60 a serving.
I have tried using one egg and they just don't hold together as well.
