[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Potato and Cauliflower Curry - 20.9g Carbs, 3.9g Fiber, 5.6g Sugar

 

Potato and Cauliflower Curry - 20.9g Carbs, 3.9g Fiber, 5.6g Sugar

From: http://www.pcrm.org/health/diets/kickstart/kickstart-programs
Turmeric and other Indian spices are getting more and more attention for their anti-cancer properties. Put them with known cancer-fighting vegetables and you're in for real health food. For a hotter curry, increase the amount of cayenne.
Servings: 6

1 onion, chopped or thinly sliced
1 15 oz can chopped tomatoes OR 1 1/2 cups freshly chopped tomatoes
1/8-1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
Head cauliflower, broken or cut into bite-size florets (3-4 cups)
2 medium potatoes, chopped (peeling optional)
1/2 tsp salt

Heat 1/2 cup of water in a large pot. Add onion and cook over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to soften. Reduce heat to medium. Add potatoes and cauliflower. Continue cooking, stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Add water, 1/4 cup at a time, if needed to prevent sticking.

Toast cumin seeds, turmeric, coriander, ginger, cinnamon, and cayenne in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add spices to vegetables along with tomatoes, and salt. Stir to mix, then cover and simmer for about 20 minutes until flavors are blended.

Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, leftover Potato and Cauliflower Curry will keep for up to 3 days.

Variation: For a sweeter curry, add 1/2 cup golden raisins or 2 tablespoons of apple juice concentrate in with the tomatoes and salt. (Not included in nutrition!)

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Broccoli and Zucchini Noodle Casserole - 10.1g Carbs, 2.6 g Fiber, 4.3 g Sugar

 

Broccoli and Zucchini Noodle Casserole -  10.1g Carbs, 2.6 g Fiber, 4.3 g Sugar

 

By: Judith Hine Favehealthyrecipes Original Recipe

Made with fresh veggies and healthy ingredients, this Broccoli and Zucchini Noodle Casserole will soon become your favorite casserole recipe. This vegetable casserole is both delicious and nutritious, so you won't feel guilty for serving this meal to your family. Put down that box of mac and cheese because this recipe is just as simple to make but it's so much better for you.

Cook Time: 45 min

Serves: 8

 

4 large zucchinis, unpeeled

1 tsp salt

4 large eggs

1 cup egg whites (about 8 eggs)

½ cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt

Fresh ground black pepper

2 cups broccoli, chopped into small pieces

2 cups kale, stemmed and chopped

½ cup basil leaves, roughly torn or chopped

1½ cup reduced-fat shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 10-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

 

2. Use a spiral cutter to cut the zucchini into "noodles". Place the zucchini noodles into a large colander and sprinkle with the salt, tossing with your hands to mix. Let stand 20 minutes, tossing again a couple times. Place on a clean kitchen towel and roll and squeeze to remove as much moisture as possible.

 

3. In a large bowl, mix the eggs, egg whites, yogurt, and pepper. Add the dried zucchini, broccoli, kale, and basil into the bowl. Add one cup of the cheese and mix. Pour into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 40-45 minutes.

 

Notes:

The process of mixing the raw zucchini with salt and letting it stand is to remove excess moisture from the vegetable so that it does not make the dish water-y. Don't be tempted to skip this step.

If you don't have a spiral cutter, you can slice the zucchini very thinly on a mandolin, box grater, or using a food processor and julienne blade.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Kale Onion Tart - 6.9g Carbs, 0.8g Fiber, 3g Sugar ...

 

Kale Onion Tart - 6.9g Carbs, 0.8g Fiber, 3g Sugar

From: Kerwien, Erica (2013-04-22). Cooking for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet: Over 100 Easy, Healthy, and Delicious Recipes that are Sugar-Free, Gluten-Free, and Grain-Free (Kindle Locations 2173-2178). Ulysses Press. Kindle Edition.

Caramelized onions lend wonderful flavor to any savory recipe, including vegetable tarts. You can take the time to fully caramelize the onions, or cut it short and only cook them for about 15 minutes. If you don't have kale, you can substitute other greens you may have on hand, such as spinach or chard. If you want more of a quiche from this recipe, just add a bit more salt and 2 more eggs. And if you want to leave out the cheese, you can substitute SCD Yogurt (page 28) or crème fraîche (page 32).

2 Tbsp unsalted ghee (page 31) OR other cooking oil (or a mix of both)
1 large onion (white or yellow), about 1 1/2 cups finely diced
1/4 tsp salt, divided
Drizzle of honey (optional) (1 Tbsp used for nutrition)
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
4 eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups kale pieces (from about 6 large leaves)*
1 cup shredded Gruyère OR other Swiss cheese (about 4 oz)
Prepared Almond Tart Crust (page 100), in a tart or pie pan

* Tear the kale leaves from the stems and cut into bite-size pieces. Discard the stems, or save them for vegetable stock or juicing.

1. In a large skillet, heat the ghee or oil over medium heat.

2. Add the diced onions, sprinkle on 1/8 teaspoon salt, and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and beginning to brown. If you wish to fully caramelize the onions, cover the pan for the first 15 minutes, then uncover it, add a drizzle of honey, and cook for another 15 minutes, or until browned.

3. Add the garlic to the onion mixture and cook for a few more minutes.

4. Preheat your oven to 350° F.

5. Let the onion mixture cool in the skillet for a few minutes, then gently stir in the eggs, kale, shredded cheese, and 1/8 teaspoon salt.

6. Pour the filling into the prepared tart crust and bake for 20 minutes. Cool for a few minutes and then serve warm or store in the refrigerator, covered, for up to a week.

Almond Tart Crust - 5.2g Carbs. 3g Fiber, 1g Sugar

From: Kerwien, Erica (2013-04-22). Cooking for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet: Over 100 Easy, Healthy, and Delicious Recipes that are Sugar-Free, Gluten-Free, and Grain-Free (Kindle Locations 2147-2157). Ulysses Press. Kindle Edition.
This tart crust can be used for quiches and savory tarts, and the seasonings can be changed to suit your own preferences or what you have on hand. I sometimes add fresh chopped thyme or rosemary to the mix, or some dill and oregano when I'm including feta cheese in my tart filling.
Quick Tip: This crust fills an 8-inch round tart pan or pie dish, or a 7 × 11-inch rectangular tart pan.

2 cups blanched almond flour or almond meal
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, ghee (page 31) or coconut oil, softened
1 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp chopped fresh herbs OR 1 tsp dried herbs (optional)

1. Preheat your oven to 350° F.

2. Blend the almond flour or meal with the salt in a bowl.

3. Add the ghee, butter, or oil and the water, plus any herbs you're using. Blend until the dough is crumbly but sticks together when you press it with your fingers.

4. Press the dough into a tart pan or pie dish. 5 Bake for 10 minutes, or until the crust begins to brown slightly. Let cool for at least 10 minutes and then fill.

Makes: 1 tart crust or shell

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Almond Flour Waffles - 10.2g Carbs, 2.1g Fiber, 6.7g Sugar

 

Almond Flour Waffles - 10.2g Carbs, 2.1g Fiber, 6.7g Sugar

From: Kerwien, Erica (2013-04-22). Cooking for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet: Over 100 Easy, Healthy, and Delicious Recipes that are Sugar-Free, Gluten-Free, and Grain-Free (Kindle Locations 1806-1813). Ulysses Press. Kindle Edition.

I have fond memories of meeting my grandmother on Manhattan's Upper East Side for the best Belgian waffles in town. The narrow, hole-in-the-wall diner had the most enormous waffle makers I had ever seen.
The size of your waffles will depend on your waffle iron, too, and there are many to choose from. My latest model has a nonstick surface, but if you're not into that, there are waffle makers that have cast-iron surfaces. While I don't need to grease mine, I usually give it a quick rub of butter or oil before I begin. It's also a good idea to fully warm up the iron to ensure that the first waffle is just as good as the next. To crisp your cooked waffles, place them in a dehydrator or oven at 150 ° F/ 65 ° C for up to 30 minutes.

1 cup blanched almond flour (or other nut flour)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp honey

1. Preheat your waffle iron on a medium setting. Grease as needed, or according to the manufacturer's directions.

2. Place the almond flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon (if using) in a mixing bowl. Blend together using a whisk.

3. Add the eggs, vanilla, and honey and whisk until well blended.

4. Pour about 1/ 4 cup batter into the heated waffle maker (more or less, depending on your waffle iron) and close the lid.

5. When the waffle is ready, transfer it to a plate and add your favorite topping. Seal and store any extra waffles in the refrigerator for a few days, or freeze them for up to a month or so.

Makes: 6 to 8 waffles, depending on your waffle maker

Servings: 6

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Bacon Egg and Cheese Muffins - 3g Carbs, 1g Fiber, 1g Sugar

 

Bacon Egg and Cheese Muffins - 3g Carbs, 1g Fiber, 1g Sugar

From: www.diabetesdaily.com - Recipe from: Kathryn Anible's, Baking For The Specific Carbohydrate Diet (TM): 100 Grain-free, Sugar-free, Gluten Free Recipes. (p.45)
This is the all American breakfast in miniature.
Prep Time:10
Cook Time: 20-22 min
Course: Main Dish
Cuisine: Low Carb
Servings: 6
Carbs Per Serving: 3g

1/2 cup almond flour, blanched
1 tablespoon Shredded Cheddar, for the base mixture
1/4 cup Shredded Cheddar
1 tsp butter, unsalted
3-6 slices bacon, sugar-free
6 medium eggs

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a muffin pan by spraying the cups with vegetable oil.
2. Mix together the flour, 1 tablespoon of the cheese, and the butter.
3. Divide the mixture among six muffin cups, pressing about 1 heaping tablespoon into the bottom of each cup.
4. Line the sides of the cups with a single layer of bacon, cutting the bacon if it is too long.
5. Break 1 egg into each cup. If you prefer the eggs scrambled, beat them individually before adding them to the muffin cups.
6. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or just until the eggs are set. Serve hot.
8. Store remaining muffins covered in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Recipe Notes: Want a super-simple breakfast that is fun to eat? This is the all-American breakfast in miniature. You can assemble these muffins the night before and bake them in the morning, or make them ahead of time and reheat them in the oven. Either way, they are a great grab-and-go breakfast option. You can use other hard cheeses besides cheddar, as long as they are SCD legal. This recipe calls for medium eggs, since large eggs overflow in standard muffin cups. If you have larger muffin cups, go ahead and use large eggs.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] 2 Ingredient Snowball Cookies

 

Nutritional information is for the full recipe mainly because it depends
on what size scoop you use and how many cookies you get.

2 Ingredient Snowball Cookies

2 large egg whites
1/2 cup sugar (NOTE)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Gradually add sugar &
beat until it forms a very stiff peak.

Using a cookie scoop to form balls, drop onto a foil lined cookie sheet.
Turn the oven off and place cookies inside overnight or 8 hours. No peeking!

NOTE: I use Whey Low Type D but I am sure you could use Erythritol or
another granulated sugar substitute but you would have to rework the
carb counts.

Nutritional Information for full recipe: Calories 130, Protein 7 gr, Fat

[MADLOVE4LOUiELOUiE] More Louie Louie Cafe Press products

 

I got (part of) my second set of Louie Louie products from Cafe Press:
Stainless Steel Mugs. Each have a different photo of him, but the mugs are beautiful and shiny.
A mousepad. I don't even use mousepads anymore, but this one is a keeper. But I really don't plan to use it, just keep it encased in plastic.
A ceramic coaster. I bought the other one is May and they are both beautiful.

There are/were so many other stuff that I want: a kitchen tray, bed sheets, shower curtain. The stuff is pricey so I may have to stretch out my purchases.

I was curious to know what Louie Louie products others have bought from Cafe Press.
And also, where the heck is he now...still at Trump Plaza(?) in Atlantic City?
