Topic: Cauliflower crust Pizza-Enough for the whole family

I made a large cookie sheet and based it on two slices per person serving 6 people

1 whole cauliflower head
4 cups of shredded mozzarella low fat or fat free ( I used low fat)
8 egg whites
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tsps Italian seasoning

Toppings - I used sliced plum tomatoes, fresh chopped basil and some sauteed fresh spinach leaves

So first you need to rice your cauliflower. This means you need to put it in your food processor and process until it looks like a flour consistency.

Next I cooked the cauliflower in a microwave safe container for about 9 minutes

Mix in together the cheese, eggs, garlic and seasoning then combine with the cauliflower.

Generously grease with PAM a large cookie tray or two small pizza trays

Spread cauliflower mixture evenly onto pan

Cook at 450 for 15 minutes

After removing the Pizza Crust I added my toppings and sprinkled a little extra cheese on top... cook for 1-2 more minutes until cheese melts.

1 slices each - total calories 114
total fat 6 gms
total carbs 3.5 gms
total protein 14 gms
total surgar .5 gms
cholesterol 40 mg

You could cut down the fat by using fat free cheese instead of low fat

Topic: Kale Chips- Not for beggining stages!

delicious/nutritious and completely cures all oily fatty salty craving I have!

• 1 bunch kale
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• sea salt
• grated asiago cheese

- Preheat oven to 300°
- Take apart the kale by separating it from the large stems and breaking it in to bite size pieces
- Toss in large bowl with melted coconut oil until evenly coated
- Spread out on to cookie sheet (you'll most likely need 2) and sprinkle with sea salt to taste and asiago cheese
- Place in oven for 20 minutes or until extremely crisp and slightly browned. I always have to take the crispy ones out and put some back in to the oven for 5 minutes to get the rest completely dry

Topic: Sugar Free Baked Egg Custard
  • 4 cups 1 % milk, I used skim
  • 4 eggs (large) beaten with fork
  • 1/2 cup Splenda
  • 1 tsp vanilla (other flavors are also good)
  • dash of fresh grated nutmeg is really good also.


In a large glass mixing bowl (measuring cup) scald milk (do not boil) in Microwave about 3 or 4 min. While heating milk, beat eggs with fork till well beaten. Pour a small amount of hot milk into the beaten eggs a little at a time (temper), then pour the eggs into the hot milk while whisking together. Add Splenda and the vanilla.

Place the ramicans in the pan,9 x 13 to place ramicans (any pan large enough to hold ramicans and ho****er)
1 quart ho****er to pour into pan with the ramicans

place coconut or other goodies into the ramicans, then pour the hot mixture into the cups.
place the pan into the pre-heated oven and pour the quart of ho****er into the pan with the ramicans.

Bake 25 min. at 325* in Convection oven... bake about 10 min. more in conventional oven. OR UNTIL knife inserted in the custard comes out clean. When fully cooked place custards in refrigerated until cold. Enjoy!

Topic: Sugar free Protein Bananna Muffins

Add all of the dry ingredients to your food processor and blend:
 

  • 3/4 cup Old Fashion Oats
  • 2 scoops protein powder(banana,vanilla or plain)
  • 1/2 cup Splenda or other Sweetener
  • 1tsp baking powder
  • 1tsp baking soda
  • 1/2tsp cinnamon
  • Dash salt

Wiz in food processor.Once combined add in:
 

  • 3 Bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt- I used 0% Vanilla Chobani, but plain will work
  • 1tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

** You can add nuts, or unsweetened chocolate chip or blueberries if you like **


Combine until well mixed.Pour mix into well sprayed muffin tins. Do not use paper liners. Using paper liners with recipes with oats will cause the muffins to stick to the liners.

Bake at 350degrees for 15 to 18 min .Remove from oven and turn out onto cooling rack.

These Freeze well....
