Low Carb bread

As you know this has been one of my missions since I have started this lifestyle. Now I am not biggest bread eater but I am a picky bread eater. I miss it most with my eggs in the morning. I have finally made a bread that I really like.  I can't take all the credit for the bread cause it started with someone's recipe.
The best part is that you cook it in the microwave. YES fast and easy can't be better than that. The original recipe French Toast in a Bowl by Brianna Thomas .
This is my recipe for the bread. I didn't think to take a picture, if I remember in the morning I will make another piece and take pics.

Microwave Low Carb Bread

3 T oat fiber

1 T ground golden flax - sometimes I use this, it gives a bit of texture. Most times I use 1 Tbsp of Psyllium Husk plain
½ tsp. baking powder

1/8 tsp  xanthan gum - this is used to make the bread not crumbly. It works 

1 egg
¼ cup water
1 T butter, softened

pitch of salt

I melt the butter a little bit, mix with the egg and water. Mix all the dry ingredient together then add the wet ingredients. Put in a square microwave container. I used a sandwich keeper, looks like a piece of bread. I cook my for a minute and 10 secs which is perfect in my microwave, you will have to see in yours how long it takes. Start at one minute and if the center isn't cook, put in for another 10 secs and keep going till it's cooked.  Try it's delicious 

Oh Bad Me

I have been lacking in the blogging mood lately, can't believe it's been over a month since I last posted. I have been busy crocheting and trying to clean my house, it's just so dirty full of crap. I haven't cooked too many recipes off pinterest, been cooking some favorites. Sometimes I go thru moods where I just don't feel like being creative. It's rather frustrating when you spend the time and money to make a recipes and it turns out just OK. Very disappointing

Now my husband is not a fan of veggies what so ever, he will eat broccoli but only when it's hot LOL. This has become his favorite veggie to eat this way thou. LOL

Will try to post more later, too tired this morning, going to take a nap. 

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.

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.

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.

Chicken Breasts with Mushroom and Onion Dijon Sauce

No cooking dinner Wednesday night, it the celebrator Graduation, report card dinner and Mc Donalds. That is where she wanted to go. I really don't care anymore for McDonalds.
Last night for dinner I made one of my favorite dishes. Since it was suppose to rain here yesterday I decided to make a chicken dish. This dish is the greatest. I just love it.  Chicken Breasts with Mushroom and Onion Dijon Sauce from A Family Feast. Is just awesome. 5 Stars

Honey Mustard Pretzel Turkey Burgers

Didn't end up making the Jerk Turkey Burgers Monday night, instead I made Honey Mustard Pretzel Turkey Burgers. They were really good. You can make them low carb by omitting the bun cause there is only 1/4 cup of pretzels in the burgers and it makes 4 burgers.  Layers Of Happiness  5 Stars

If you get a chance pop over and get the recipe cause they are really good. 

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

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/248401735674166316/
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 

Didn't get a chance to post yesterday did some playing around in the kitchen since the kids had only a half day.
I found a really good desert or snack, cause I have to have something to eat before bed cause if I don't I am hungry all night long LOL.

Got the recipe from The Girl Whole Ate Everything, I changed it a bit to make it more carb friendly.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 Tablespoon dry Ranch dressing mix (unprepared)
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 hamburger buns
• Optional Toppings: lettuce, prepared Ranch dressing

I only used 1/4 cup Panko Bread Crumbs, no buns and no seasoning salt only cause I have a problem with too much sodium. 

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill to medium high or the broiler on your oven.
2. In a large bowl mix together the chicken, Panko crumbs, bread crumbs, onion, seasoned salt, garlic powder and dry ranch dressing.
3. Form chicken mixture into 4 patties. Place on oiled grill or greased broiler pan.
4. Grill/broil for 4-6 minutes on each side or until internal temp reaches 160 degrees. for the last minute of cooking place a slice of cheese on each burger to melt. Remove from grill/oven/
5. Spread butter on the inside of the buns. Place on broiler pan and broil for a few minutes until golden brown or on the grill for a couple of minutes. Put chicken burger on bun and top with additional prepared ranch dressing or desired condiment.
