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 

Best Ever Baked Pork Chops

These were really good, very tasty pork chops. Now my husband said they were the best pork chops I have ever made, even my daughter ate them. She is the toughest critic to please. If you get a chance try them, they are good. 5 star
These are not low carb but you can make them that. Use Almond flour instead of the bread crumbs or low carb bread.

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
This is really good 

I was in the mood for a nice stuff pork roast, it's getting cooler here so that makes in the mood for hearty, hot meals. 
This is a 5 star recipe 


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

Baked Sour Cream Doughnuts

I had been craving some plain donuts, yes I am a very plain kind of girl. I love plain donuts. Couldn't find a recipe that was low carb and plain. I found this one. I love sour cream so I tried this recipe. These were good but way to sweet for me. I know the next time I make them I will cut the sugar in half. I did however take one of the donuts the next day and cut it in half and toasted it, then put egg, bacon and cheese on it. It was kind of like eating the McGrindle from McDonald's. It was sweet like that but mapley LOL, It was good thou. And I didn't put the glaze on the donuts either. I give it a 3 rating but will be back once I take half the sugar out and see how they are.

The recipe comes from Honest Cooking Blog 

Crispy Oven Fried Fish Bites

I love fish, I could eat it every other day, that along with chicken. These were good. The tarter sauce is awesome. I always made homemade tarter sauce but it was just mayo and sweet pickle relish, plain and simple. This one on the other hand was out standing. Loved it.  I give this recipe a 5 star. Now you can make this low carb by using almond flour or your own low carb flour of choice. My daughter on the other hand had other ideas, she wanted the panko for super crunchy fish and that is what I made for everyone.


The recipe is from Cooking and Beer Blog 

Spinach Chicken Parmesan Meatballs in Creamy Tomato Sauce

Haven't tried that many recipes in the last couple weeks. Sunday last week we had the spinach chicken Parmesan meatballs, with spaghetti. This was really good. I did make my meatballs a head of time and put them in the frig till it was time to cook them. Wanted them to meld flavors together. I am so cheated and put all the ingredients for the meat balls in the food processor since I had to grind up chicken for them anyways. My husband said to me, why are they green LMBO. I give this a 4 star rating.


The recipe is from Spoonful of Flavor Blog 
To make low carb use miracle noodles or you other low carb noodles.

Huli-Huli Pork Steak

I absolutely love pork steak but get bored with just fixing it the same old way. Then I found this recipe and tried it. It's very good.
The recipe is from Home Cooking & Baking. I give this a 5 star rating. My family loved it. The pork was so tender and flavorful. I did make it low carb but replacing the brown sugar with my sugar substitute and 1 tbsp of molasses, low carb ketchup. It was delicious.
