Recipe:

1 tbsp of coconut flour.
1 tbsp of ground psyllium husk.
1 egg
1/4 tsp of dried Italian herb seasoning.
1/4 tsp of baking powder.
2 1/2 tbsp of water.
Pinch of salt
Garlic powder ( sprinkles it in top before microwave) 
Toppings and sauce of your choice 

Method:

mix everything together using a wire whisk. It will be a really thick batter. Transfer in a grease microwave plate. Using a spoon or spatula spread it and shape like a slice of pizza. Make sure it's not to thin or it won't hold your toppings. Microwave for 1:30 to 2:30 minutes depending on your microwave. Transfer in a heated pan put all the toppings and cover, cook in a medium heat or till the cheese melts. I used the oven to melt the cheese just broil it. Or if youre ok with microwave then microwave everything to melt the cheese. Enjoy! Please don't put my recipe in your feed just direct them here. Thank you so much.

Quiche

I like my quiche cheesy and meaty.                                                                                                            Recipe: 5 whole eggs.                                                                                                                                 1 1/2 cup of finely shredded cheese.                                                                                                            1 cup of Italian shredded blend cheese.                                                                                                   1/2 cup of chopped strips of ham ( I used Oscar Meyer select, no gluten and no preservative).                       2 cups of chopped fresh spinach.                                                                                                            1/2 of an onion ( diced).                                                                                                                          1/4 cup of sweet peppers or red bell peppers.                                                                                         1/4 tsp of salt.                                                                                                                                          1/4 tsp of ground black pepper.                                                                                                               1/4 tsp of garlic powder                                                                                                                              1 cloves of fresh garlic ( minced into fine).                                                                                                   2 slices of bacon for the toppings.                                                                                                          Method:      Normally I just trow everything together but I want to pre cooked the other ingredients to give it more flavor. So take time to add some extra love in it. Fry your bacon, while you are cooking the bacon diced and prep all your ingredients. When Your bacon is cook take it out the pan and set aside, now in the same pan where you cook your bacon add the onions, sweet peppers, ham and the fresh garlic sauté it till the onions soften. Set aside and let it cool down. Now preheat your oven to 350f. In a big bowl put your eggs and whisk, then add the cheese and the rest of the ingredients. Mix really well. I used a silicone mold but if you don't have it, grease your muffin pan. Then fill the mold halfway. Mix the mixture gently before putting it in the mold to ensure even distribution of ingredients. Chopped the bacon and divide it for 12 and put it on top before baking it. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Enjoy.

Salvadoran breakfast cake

Think of a lighter pound cake with cheese flavor.. That is what this goodness is!                                            Here's the recipe:                                                                                                                                     1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter.                                                                                                           1/2 cup of powdered erythritol or any sweetener of choice.                                                                       1/4 tsp of liquid stevia.                                                                                                                                3 eggs.                                                                                                                                                      1/2 cup of sour cream.                                                                                                                                 1 cup of almond flour ( honeyville brand).                                                                                                 1/4 cup and 2 tbsp of freshly grated Parmesan cheese                                                                                   1 tsp baking powder.                                                                                                                              
  Mix all the dry ingredients first then set aside. Preheat your oven to 350f. In a large bowl put your erythritol, stevia and butter. Using electric mixer, cream your butter. Then one at a time add the eggs then your sour cream and mix till everything is well incorporated. Add your dry ingredients and continue mixing for about 2 minutes in high speed. Line your muffin tin, or you can use silicone. Fill the muffin cups halfway. This will make 12 cupcakes. Bake for 30 minutes in a 350f oven. cool down and store in a container and refrigerate.  it is best accompanied with a sweet lowcarb or sugarfree jam to balance out the cheese.   This is a savory cupcakes  sweet, it might taste a little salty while it's still hot but it will be completely gone once it cools down. I like putting some jam on top it will tie everything together. also this is easy to eat in the morning rush with a cup of coffee.

cinnamon rolls



here is the recipe for my cinnamon roll :) it was as previously stated was inspired by the amazing mariahealth blog i learn how to used psyllium husk because of her.. and when i made my first breakthrough and i made a lowcarb gnocchi i send my link for my blog so she can see it  and she replies with  a simple thank you but it means so much to me that i showed her how she inspires me.

recipe for the dough:
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup almond flour
4 tbsp of ground psyllium husk
4 eggs
1/2 tbsp of baking powder
1 tsp of salt
15 drops of liquid stevia or 1 tsp of liquid stevia or 1/4 cup of any sweetener of choice
1 cup boiling water

filling:
1/4 cup of butter ( melted)
1 tbsp of cocoa powder
1/2 cup of erythritol or 1/2 of any sweetener
4-5 tbsp of cinnamon roll

toppings:
coconut manna ( for dairy free option) or creme cheese

mix all your dry ingredients first then add the eggs and the boiling water. it will be soupy but just keep on mixing till you get a dough like consistency.
put your dough on top of a cling plastic wrap in a flat surface then cover it with another cling wrap then using a rolling pin gently roll it out.
this will yield 8 servings so keep that in mind when you are rolling it as a guide how big it needs to be rolled out.
then mix your butter and cocoa powder for the filling and spread it using a pastry brush on top of the flatten dough leaving a little space on both ends.
then add  and sprinkle your erythritol or any sweetener of choice
gently roll it using the help of the cling plastic wrap to create a cinnamon roll shape
cut it into eight servings
i find it easy to bake it inside the muffin silicone pan because it helps with the shape but any pan would work as long as you put parchment paper or a silicone mat first.
bake at 350f for 40 minutes
top it with coconut manna or creme cheese
