Low Carb Pizza

I have been trying and looking for an acceptable low carb pizza crust that I could whip up fast for lunch. I am not the biggest fan of lunch so if I have to cook it's very difficult for me. I am one of those people who use to live on peanut butter and jelly cause it was quick. I just don't care to cook just for me. So when Netrition had these ultra thin pizza crusts BOGO and I decided to try them.
They are by Golden Home Ultra Thin 16g Protein Pizza Crust, 3 crusts.

These are really great, they taste awesome and they do bake up nice and crunchy crust.  I made a sausage and onion pizza which is my favorite, using my low carb sauce, which I haven't posted yet but I will. IT was awesome. These get a 5 plus Star rating. Can't wait to buy more.

Low Carb Pork Lo Mein

I tried Shiratake noodles for the first time last week.  I have seen recipes with these noodles since I started my Low Carb/ High Fat lifestyle read all the reviews, from all different blogs and web sites. I went by the reviews and wasn't going to try them. Then Netrition.com had a sale and I saw them for a cheaper price than anywhere else so I thought I would try them. I have a very good sense of smell, I mean I can tell when my neighbors are using their dryers. LOL I have really bad allergies so my nose is very sensitive. I opened the noodles and there was really no smell to them at all, a slight smell but nothing over whelming like others have said.  I rinsed them in water the temperature I normally do dishes in a few times and them left them in the strainer till I was ready for them. That is all I did to them I made up this recipe, Pork Lo Mein which is one of my very favorite Chinese dishes.  This recipe is from i Breathe I'm Hungry.

This was really really good. I did make the mistake of putting too much Sriracha hot sauce in it, it was a tad bit hot for me but I loved it. The flavor was awesome and so where the noodles. I really liked these noodles a lot. They reminded me a lot of rice noodles that the Chinese use. I will definitely be buying more of these noodles. I can't wait to try the ziti and fettuccine noodles. 5 star Recipe

Epic Failures This week

I have had to epic recipe failures this week. The first one I think is more my fault than the recipes.

Easiest & Best Chocolate Brownies.

Will admit my daughter loved them but me and husband however didn't. For me it's mostly cause I am not a fan of Cocoa powder, to me it's very strong. I over baked them a bit cause I forgot about them.  I might try them again adding less cocoa powder and baking them for the right amount of time. LOL 

Recipe is from Satisfying Eats  Giving it a 3 since some of it was my fault. 

I tried the Miracle Rice for the first time. Which I am sorry I wasted it on this recipe. I love, absolutely love rice pudding. The recipe comes fro, Shirataki Noodles Info Blog 

Now I don't know about any one else but this was absolutely GROSS. 

I followed the recipe and the only way I can explain it was it was so gloppy, have  you ever made anything using cornstarch to thicken and added way to much? That is the consistency of that, very thick and goopy.  I added more cinnamon, and nutmeg and that still didn't make it taste better. I threw the whole pan out. Not sure I will try this again, I think I will look for another recipe. This really needs a minus rating. 1 Star Recipe. 

Ranch Burgers with Secret Sauce

These were really good, I changed them a little bit thou. 

I added about a half pound of sausage to the hamburger along with all the other seasonings. I used Smokehouse Onion Cheddar Cheese, which I absolutely love. 

They were really good. They were juicy, and delicious. I give them a 5 Star rating. The special sauce really makes them great. Thou it's not that much a special sauce. LOL Try I think you guys will like them. 

Recipe is from lil' Luna. 

For Low Carb just omit the bun. Use reduce sugar ketchup. 

Bacon Bourbon BBQ Chicken

Have I got a recipe for you guys today. This recipe deserves more than 5 Stars, it's out of this world.

The recipe is from Host The Toast 

You have to make these, my husband couldn't stop raving about them. They were that good. I could go for eating them again today. 

To make low carb just substitute the sugars for your sweeteners, that is what I did plus use low carb bbq sauce. You all have to make these.

Raspberry Drop Scones

These by far are the easiest things to make and so delicious. 5 Stars for these.
Even my husband who isn't doing the High Fat/Low Carb lifestyle loved them.
I will admit they were a bit sweet for me, so next time I make them I will be reducing the sugar. And I didn't have any raspberries so I used blueberries, awesome .
Recipe is from The Dr. Oz show.

You have to make these cause they are great. Fast and easy too. 

Best-Ever Sticky Asian Ribs 5 stars

These where awesome. My family and I love the Asian flavors and thou we have had our fair share to yuckie ones, these were great. My husband was in heaven, that is what he said about them. Koodles for me. The recipe is from Apple of My Eye Blog.  I made my low carb by substituting the sugar for a sugar substitute and the ketchup for low carb ketchup.

Chicken Parmesan Burgers 5 Stars

These were the most awesome burgers I have ever made. I am not the biggest fan of chicken parmesan but these I could eat again and again.

The recipe is from Recipe Runner.

Now to make low carb I omitted the bun for me. I did how ever keep the panko bread crumbs. 

Per 1/4 cup - Calories: 100kcal | Fat: 1.00g | Carbs: 20.00g | Protein: 3.00g

which makes 4 burgers so there is 5 carbs from the panko bread crumbs. 

I made my own marinara sauce which I have to say turned out awesome. I will update the post later with the recipe.  I left it in the kitchen.

Broiled Tilapia with Seafood Wine Sauce 5 Stars

This recipe is from Buttoni's Low Carb Recipe Blog. 

Now this is a Five star recipe. We loved this a lot. 

I didn't use crawfish cause here in Upstate, NY they are expensive and cleaning them to get what little bit of meat from them isn't worth the work. LOL 

I used just crab meat instead.  Even the next day this was so good reheated. Will be making this again.
