Some of my Yummy Treats

Here are some of my yummy treats that I have found that are low carb. My body does not do good on carbs. But I love carbs, so I have done a lot of research on trying to find yummy treats that can trick my mind into thinking that I am eating naughty stuff. So here are my tricks:)

Instead of making things with flour (which is a big contributer to carbs) I have found this stuff called SOY FLOUR. It has 3 grams of carbs per serving. A serving is about 1/4 of a cup. It has a different taste but it really is not that bad. So here are some things that you can try using soy flour.

3 Minute Chocolate Cake
My Fav:)

Ingredients:
1/4 cup of Soy Flour
1 to 2 tbsp of cocoa (dry powder, unsweetened)
2 to 3 tsp of splenda (depends on how sweet you like it... I use more that 3 tsp:))
1 tsp of baking powder
1 small egg or two egg whites
1 tsp of water
1 tbsp melted butter

Directions:
Use a microwave-safe bowl to combine all ingredients. Add all the dry ingredients together. and blend well with a whisk. Add wet ingredients. Melt the butter first, add to your bowl. then add egg, and water. If you batter is not adhering well together, add a little more water. After blending together with a whisk put the bowl in your microwave for a 3 minutes. Afterwards you should have a tasty treat!

you can add things to it like nuts, whip cream, low fat ice cream, etc.

I personally like cream cheese frosting...
whip together 1/4 of an 8 ounce thing of cream cheese and a little cream with some splenda to taste. Once you cake is cooled frost and enjoy.

Soy Pancakes

Ingredients:
1/4 cup of Soy Flour
1/4 cup of water
1/4 tsp. of salt
3 large eggs
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract

Directions:
Makes 8-9 small pancakes (these are really small, it makes about 2 normal size pancakes I double this to make enough for me and my hubbie for breakfast.)
mix all ingredients in bowl. If the batter is too runny, add a small amount more of soy flour. Put your fry pan on med heat and spray with non stick spray. Cook each pancake until slightly bubbly around the edge. then flip. Cook till golden. Serve with sugar free syrup.

I like to add my flax seeds into the batter. I do about 5 tablespoons. You can also make this into a dinner or lunch thing. I know it sounds weird. But it is good! I like to add cheddar cheese on top with some salsa, or cheese and deli meat on top. This really is good. Because the pancake batter is not a sweet batter (you get the sweetness from the syrup) you really can do anything with them.

Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients:
2 lbs. chicken skinless boneless breasts
1 tbsp. marjoram
10 oz of heavy cream
2 eggs
2 cloves of fresh garlic-crushed

breading:
1/2 cup of soy flour-sifted
1 1/2 cup fine ground pork rinds
white cheddat cheese flavored popcorn seasoning to taste

Directions:
Breading prep- mix sifted soy flour with fine ground pork rinds and put in large casserole for breading.
Chicken prep- puree chicken breasts in food processor until fine. add marjoram, fresh garlic and two eggs. Drizzle in cream until well mixed. Make little balls with 2 large spoons. genlty place nugget into crumb mixture. Fry nuggets 10-12 at a time in 365-degree oil until golden brown. Place in a basket with wax paper and toss with white cheddar popcorn seasoning.

Cheese sauce prep- in a small sauce pan heat 1/4 of an 8 ounce cream cheese and about 1/2 a cup of heavy cream. once the cream cheese is well combined melt in 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. Salt and pepper to taste and a big squirt of mustard. (use this cheese sauce in several different ways the cream cheese and heavy cream is just a base...mix it up by putting in different types of cheese and put on lightly steamed veggies)
Dip nuggets and enjoy!

Low Carb Pizza

Ingredients:
4 oz of cream cheese
12 oz of shredded pizza blen cheese
2 eggs
1/4 of a cup of Soy Flour
1/4 tsp of garlic powder
1/2 tsp italian seasoning

Directions:
whip cream cheese and add eggs. Add the soy flour garlic powder and seasoning. Fold in the shredded cheese. Line a 9x12 with parchment paper and spread mixture evenly in pan. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes until lighlty browned. Cool and place uncovered in fridge for a few hours. It needs to go in the fridge to set up otherwise it never comes together as a crust. (I make it in the morning and then leave it in the firdge while I am at school and work then come home and put toppings on it.)
After a few hours take the crust out and put on a pizza pan. Assemble pizza toppings as desired. Bake at 375 degrees again for 15-20nminutes until cheese is bubbly. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. (the first time a made this i was a little surprised because the crust is not like a normal pizza crust where it is easy to handle... it is deff. a for and plate type of pizza:) YUMMY!

I hope this gets your taste buds jumping adn try these yummy yummy fake out treats!!!
