Radles

It's simply a daikon radish that's been spiralized. Really good in Asian dishes, either soup or salad. 

Avocado and creme cheese dibs

Recipe: 

300g of ripe avocado ( seeded and peeled already) 

6 tbsp of organic full fat creme cheese

2 tbsp of cocoa powder

1/2 cup of almond milk

1/4 cup of sweetener of choice ( taste the mixture and adjust according to your taste, I don't like anything too sweet now)

Method:

1. Just blend everything together in a food processor.

2. When everything is well combine, transfer to small silicone molds, some dollar store sell this molds or daiso ( I was able to make 20 pieces)

3. Cover with parchment paper or cling wrap and freeze.

Chocolate coating:

8 squares of 90% Lindt chocolate or 80g of dark chocolate of choice.

3 tbsp of coconut oil 

Method:

1. Chopped the chocolate in small pieces. In a small bowl ( for easy dipping later)

2. Mix with the coconut oil

3. Melt together ( I used microwave method, every 15 seconds I took it out and whisked till it melts)

Assembly:

Before assembling I suggest that everything should be prep, it doesn't melt easily but it's nice if you can keep

 the shape. You need parchment paper, BBQ sticks or toothpick, small spoon, and container where you are going to store the ice cream bites. 

Now just take out the ice cream from the mold, I stick the toothpick in the frozen ice cream and dip it in the chocolate, it will hardened fast, then transfer to the parchment paper, take out the toothpick and to do rest. Store in a container in the freezer. Enjoy. 

Okonomiyaki

This recipe is adapted from the youtube channel that I saw http://youtu.be/XBf3mWH5Xfc only thing that I change is the homemade sauce, quantity of bacons and the green onion, the rest and procedure is the same, I suggest you watch her video so it will be easier , maybe someday il make my own youtube channel 😁 , but if you are ok with lowcarb ketchup then you can follow her recipe as well for the easy homemade okonomiyaki sauce.

4 slices of thick uncured bacon 

1/2 cup chopped green onions

Funnel cake

I was experimenting in the kitchen with my lowcarb pancakes ( recipe is also here in the blog) that I thought of frying it, I had to adjust and play with the consistency to get the batter thicken for this purpose. Enjoy!

Recipe:

4 tbsp of almond flour ( honeyville)

2 tbsp of vanilla whey ( natures best perfect way, it has 1g of carb per scoop but I only use less so less carb for this recipe, I got it from amazon.com)

1 tbsp of sweetener of choice ( add only if the whey that you are using don't have any sweetener at all or you like it sweeter than normal)

1/2 tsp of baking powder

1 egg

2 tbsp of melted butter

Pinch of salt

Some ghee for frying ( or butter, if you are going to use any other type of oil I honestly don't know if it will yield the same taste, the batter absorb the fats that you are using so please use butter or ghee)

Method:

1.Just mix all the dry ingredients

2. Melt the butter ( I use microwave )

3.Then add the egg and the melted butter

4. Whisk it to mix well ( use a wire whisk it adds volume and some air to the batter)

5. Cover the bowl and put in the fridge, the colder the better so that the melted butter will help the batter to thicken

 ( about 30 minutes to one hour)

6. Transfer in a ziplock or piping bag

7. Cut the tip of the ziplock ( I find that the batter expand while I'm frying it so I only cut a small hole)

8. Pipe it in the ghee ( just be artsy with it) Fry in the ghee or butter, flip the batter gently if you want both sides crispy.

9. This batter will be enough for two servings. 

10. You can serve this with sugar free syrup or sprinkle it with a mix of cinnamon and sweetener of choice. Or I really liked it with chocolate sauce ( just chocolate chunks and heavy cream and nuke it or melt it, easy!)

Coconut buttery no cook cookies "polvoron"

It's still a bit wet to be a "polvoron" but it's really close maybe next time I will toast my coconut flour in a pan without oil or take out the sour cream for less moisture,  but it's really really yum!

2/3 cup of coconut flour

1/4 cup of sweetener of choice

1/8 tsp of salt

1/4 cup of full fat sour cream ( you can probably omit this or lessen it, I'm gonna try next time)

1/4 water

1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream ( or you can use coconut cream)

1/2 cup of unsalted butter ( freeze it first prior to use) 

Mix all the dry ingredients

Mix all the wet ingredients in a separate bowl

Grate the frozen butter to the dry ingredients

Then add the wet ingredients 

Note: if you have a powerful food processor you can just put everything in it and process it till it becomes a dough. Just be sure to chop the butter to small pieces though. 

When I'm done mixing. I transfer everything in a big ziplock and knead it to combine all the ingredients well. 

Then using a parchment paper I sandwich my dough in it and roll to my desires thickness using a rolling pin.

Using a cookie cutter cut it and divide depending on how much serving you would like to have. 

Store in airtight container in the fridge. 

It's better to eat this after a few hours in the fridge.

For a serving of 8 the ingredients that I used will results in this macro 

Each will have 

148 calories

2.8 net carbs ( I don't count my erythritol)

2.1 g of proteins

12.8 g of fats 

Naan bread

This is other use for my microwave buns.

Recipe:

1 tbsp of coconut flour

1 tbsp of psyllium husk

1 egg

1/4 tsp of Italian seasoning

1/4 tsp of baking powder

2 1/2 tbsp of water

Pinch of salt

Grated cheese ( I prefer aged cheddar cheese)

1/4 tsp of garlic powder

Chili flakes

Heat a nonstick pan in a medium heat.

Mix all the ingredients except for cheese and garlic powder and the chili flakes, till it becomes a thick batter.

Transfer in a microwave plate or line it with silicone or parchment paper for easy removal.

Flatten and spread

Top with garlic powder, chili flakes and half of the amount of cheese that you want to use.

Microwave for 2 minutes.

Take out from the plate 

In the heated pan put the remaining cheese directly in the pan

Then put the bread face down, garlic powder top now touching the pan

So that the cheese in the pan will stick to your bread. Cook till the cheese is crispy and melted.

You can also do it on the other side. 

Enjoy.

I made this recipe 60 weeks ago haha it's been in the comments in my Instagram but I can't find it, so I asked one of my ig friends who loves making this for her kids if I can have the recipe, she screen shot it and send it to me. Its really been in the comments all along, I guess I didn't look hard enough 😁 the recipe from my ig  have cocoa powder (1 tbsp) but since I don't have it at the moment I omit it and it's still works great.

Ingredients

1 cup of almond flour

 ( I used honeyville )

1/4 cup of vanilla whey protein powder

1 full tbsp of peanut butter

2 tbsp of water

1 tbsp of sweetener ( optional, use only if your whey powder don't have any sweetener at all)

Chocolate chunks or chips

Method:

Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl.

Combine the water and peanut butter in a cup and heat it ( it's easier to mix it with the other ingredients when the pb is melted)

Mix till it looks like a cookie dough

Place in a parchment or cling wrap and roll into a log

Divide and cut into 10 

Flatten

You can put the chocolate chips now , like planting a seeds

Then nuke when you want to eat one for about 30 seconds ( 700 watts)

Or you can freeze and eat it as is ( texture will be fudgy)

Enjoy
