MIM (Muffin in a Minute)

I don't know who is the originator of this recipe but I can't thank them enough, theses are such a good substitute for toast.

Muffin in a Minute

2 scoops 1/4 cup of ground flax seeds (I prefer the light colored flax)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
4 drops ezsweets
1 egg
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Mix in a bowl (I made it in a square plastic food storage container to resemble a piece of toast) microwave on high one minute. Spread with almond butter.

Enjoy!

Bacardi rum cake (low carb)

I've been wanting to try this cake in low carb form, it turned out very good.

I made this coconut flour yellow cake recipe here in a spring form pan with a jelly jar filled with raw rice for weight in the middle because I didn't have a bundt cake pan. It worked great!

I substituted 1/2 cup powdered erythritol and 12 drops of ezsweetz and 1/4 cup of poly d for the sugar, rum for half of the coconut milk and added some toasted pecans to the top . I baked it for 30 minutes in a 350 oven. I made this rum syrup to pour over it while it was hot.

Rum syrup

1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup vanilla torani syrup
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup rum


Heat in a sauce pan, pour over warm cake poking holes with a skewer, the longer it sits the better. Here it is with the sauce just poured over the top. It will soak in just keep spooning it on top.

Yummy!

Brussel sprouts with jalapenos and garlic

My hubby asked me to make brussel sprouts with jalapenos and garlic, I must say I had never thought about making them this way but I have to say they were good!

Brussel sprouts with jalapenos and garlic

2 lbs brussel sprouts (I had tiny ones so I left them whole you could cut in half if they're big)
3 tablespoons butter
2 jalapenos sliced
2 cloves garlic crushed
salt to taste

Wrap everything in heavy duty foil and bake in the oven at 400 for 30-45 minutes, open and serve.

Keto balls (cream cheese balls)

Yummy!!! I found this recipe here.

Keto balls

8 oz cream cheese softened
1 stick 1/2 cup butter softened
12 drops ezsweetz
1 tablespoon torani vanilla syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

for rolling balls in
chopped nuts (I used macadamias and pistachios)
chopped chocolate (half a chocoperfection bar)


Mix everything together, stick in freezer till easy to roll in balls with your hands, roll in nuts or whatever you want, then freeze. I made them in teaspoon size balls because they are so rich that's all you need.

Zucchini lasagna

I used zucchini for the lasagna noodles in this fabulous lasagna. I sliced a giant zucchini from our garden the long way then roasted it in the oven till softened and brown. If all you can get is small that's great. It's tasty with eggplant too.

Then layering with mozzarella, ricotta, marinara sauce, hot italian sausage, and ground beef.

 I used this marinara sauce, it took me a while to find one without sugar this is the first time I have used this one, it was very good.

Here it is before going in the oven.

Here it is just finished. Thank goodness I put it on a sheet pan because it did bubble over.

We had lots of leftovers and froze some too.

Low carb fudge

I found this recipe here This is so very, very good! I made a half a recipe but added 1 more oz of melted chocolate because it wasn't holding together, maybe because I used fresh made peanut butter which was drier without much oil, I think if I used a bit more oily peanut butter it would have worked fine, next time I'll use better peanut butter. It would be good with some toasted nuts added, like walnuts. You can't even tell it's made with peanut butter, it tastes like real fudge. My son who is very picky about sweeteners has been sneaking pieces and also told me he thinks it's very good. Make sure the erythritol is powdered well so it won't be gritty.

Low carb fudge

4 oz unsweetened chocolate squares (I used 5 oz)
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup erythritol powdered
12 drops ezsweetz
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch salt

Melt chocolate in microwave then stir everything together press in pan, cool, and cut in squares.

Steak and avocado

A quick lunch, I was starving and sauteed this up quickly for lunch. I purchased a couple pounds of flap meat from the mexican store heated a saute pan added some butter and sauteed this steak sprinkled with pappy's 50% less salt seasoning for a couple minutes on each side then topped with a pat of butter, a shake of worcestershire and sliced avocado, inverting a plate over it for a few minutes to let it rest, then devouring with a little tapatio.
