Pancakes

Since going on this lifestyle change I have been in the search for the best pancake or substitute for a pancake. That tastes similar to a pancake. Now I know it will never be like the pancakes that I love to eat but it could be close. These where really good but and there it is again a little too sweet for me. I don't like syrup on my pancakes I like just having butter on them. And these were a bit sweet so next time I will just cut the sugar in half. I am using beet sugar now. Just got my first bag yesterday and I have to say other than being sweeter than sugar so far my digestive system is not having a hissy fit with it. And my pallet likes it too and that is all the maters besides being low glycemic.

Syrniki - cottage cheese pancakes. I really did like them a lot. I got to have them with my sausages. Some left over for tomorrow too. that I like a lot. 4 Stars


Sorry been kind of busy lately, had some crochet projects to finish. But I have been still plugging along with my low carb/high fat lifestyle.
I have tried some interesting recipes to say the very least the last couple weeks.
You know sometimes I wonder if the reviews people leave are real? For things you buy and the ones people leave on the blogs. Cause let me tell you, I tried a recipe that everyone on the blog loved and I found it to be not the most pleasant thing to eat. LOL
Then I wonder if it's just my palette or that maybe they have been doing this lifestyle so long that this stuff tastes good. But I don't see how.  Need someone else who this happens too.
These are the recipes I have tried in the last two weeks.

Peanut Butter Bread

now don't get me wrong I am a peanut butter freak and could eat it every day, but this bread wasn't good for me. I think it was over baked to begin with. Cause it was dry and didn't nearly rise as much as theirs did.  2 Stars

Zucchini and Corn - NOW this was delicious. I loved it.  5 Stars


Peanut Butter Breakfast Bars  - By Low Carb Diet 
These I loved too, they are really good. I enjoyed them at night for my snack. Kept me filled up  5 Stars  I am addicted to these LOL 

Paleo and Gluten Free Tortillas from Paleo Newbie 

now these I didn't like at all. the texture was very different and not sure how to explain it. When you pull pieces of it off it reminded me of silly puddy, the way it pulled apart.  1 Star

3 Ingredient Paleo Naan Bread by My Heart Beets

this was an utter failure for me too. It was the same as the tortillas, they stretchy texture and it was gritted too from the almond flour and that is one texture that I am having a very hard time getting use too. 1 Star

Orange Hazelnut Chocolate Mousse by DJ Foodie
Now this was good, I enjoyed it very much, The only thing I didn't care for is the cocoa powder taste but that I can work on.  3 Stars

Magic Peanut Butter Pudding - by Low-Carbing Among Friends - Volume 3

Now this is to die for, I absolutely loved it and could eat it everyday LOL  5 Stars

Sunday I made Enchiladas for me for dinner, hubby not a fan the way I made mine but made him two with just taco meat and cheese LOL BORING, 

Chili Gravy Enchiladas by Macheesmo 
this was really good, me I didn't care for all the chili powder but that is fixable. It really made some great enchiladas. I add corn and black beans to my taco meat with lots of cheese. they were yummy  4 Stars

Bacon BBQ Sauce - this I made on Sunday too cause my plum tomatoes where going bad.  This is by the Kitchen Whisperer 
I haven't used it yet on meat but I did taste it, it's a bit sweet for me which I can fix the next time but it was really really good. Can't wait to bbq with it. 
Update - Aug 13 th - This stuff is to die for. When you BBQ with it, it's not too sweet on the meat. This I could use over and over again. 5 Stars
