Buttermilk Biscuits

I haven't made these yet!  This recipe is from http://mariahealth.blogspot.com/.  I am filing it here so I can find it when it's time to make it.  I'm excited about this recipe because my children love bread and many of the recipes they like use biscuit dough or crecent rolls.  I'm looking forward to trying this in place of the dough in those recipes.  Stay tuned for reviews and new recipes using this biscuit subsitute!

1 1/2 TBS butter (cut into pieces)
1 cup Blanched almond flour
1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
1 TBS baking powder
4 egg whites
OPTIONS: add 1 tsp of garlic or your favorite spice.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a medium sized muffin pan. Whip egg whites until fluffy, but not stiff. In a separate bowl, sift the baking powder into the almond flour. Then add the butter and salt. Slowly fold in the almond mixture to the egg whites. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Serves 8.

"Red Lobster" Cheesey Garlic Biscuits

I made these for Christmas Dinner and have been making them ever since.  I had them in the basket with other homemade rolls brought by a guest, but these no sugar no starch ones were the first to go!  I even needed to make another batch!

Now I keep a number of biscuts around at home and any time I need something "bread like" I reach for these.  They are packed with protein but have less than 1 carb per biscut.


This picture isn't mine - mine turned out even more Red Lobstery looking.  Yummmers!

1/4 cup melted butter
1/3 cup sifted coconut flour
2 whole eggs, 2 egg whites
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbs garlic powder
1/2 cup chedder cheese
3-4 Tbs. Unflavored Whey Protein


Yield:  12 biscuts
Mix the butter, sifted coconut flour, eggs, baking powder, salt and garlic together.  Add 1 Tb. at a time of vanilla whey protein and mix until mixture is no longer runny looking.  If mixture appears runny, add another Tb. of protein power.  Stir in cheese last.  Drop 1 TB at a time on a greased cookie sheet.  DO NOT FLATTEN.   Bake at 400 for 15 min.

Christmas Dinner!

Well!  So exciting!  I've recently discovered that I will be hosting Christmas Dinner!  I'm so excited about this, as the tradition is always at one of the Grandparents house.  Of course, as I have embarked on my new low carb lifestyle holidays have now begun to freak me out!  But being able to host is exciting as I am now in control of the entire menu.  As you know, my family is NOT a low carb family (my husband weighs 140 lbs with wet clothes on at the end of Thanksgiving Day) and my children's favorite food group is the noodle group.  So in my Christmas menu planning, I need to be sneaky!  The current plan is to have a low carb option for every item on the table.  I am currently planning my menu and will add my low carb items to this blog as I go.
