No Recipes Yet??  Hmmmmm ~ I gotta get on this!! 

[umpa]

You go girl! I guess nobody likes free stuff anymore

[shawn116]

Here is what I've been working on today    I have to tell you I'm in love with this.  I've made this with full sugar before in years past and given it as gifts for family and friends.  So I just converted it over for a sugar free version.  

Low-Carb Sugar Free Pumpkin Butter

1 can (15 oz) Pumpkin Puree = 28 net carbs
2/3 cup sugar free maple syrup = 2.6 net carbs
¼ cup sugar free honey = 0 net carbs
1 Tbs lemon juice = .96 net carb
½ tsp cinnamon = .35 net carb
¼ tsp ground cloves = .14

Makes 2 cups (32.05 total net carbs)  with 32 (1 Tbs. servings) at  1 net carb per serving

Place all ingredients in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes or until thickened.  Be sure to watch closely so it doesn't scorch or burn.  Serve on a One Minute Muffin, low carb biscuit, low carb corn bread, toasted Izzet bread….etc.    Great idea for holiday treats if you are entertaining a crowd.  Make mini one minute muffins and top with pumpkin butter.  Yummy bit size treats.  Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for several weeks or you could process in a water bath canner for longer storage.   If canned…. It will make a great homemade gift for family and friends.  


What you see in my picture is my breakfast this morning    Just 2 1/2 carbs

Party Crackers

NOTE:  I actually make these for anytime but they are great for a party.  Sometimes I take some with me to eat with dips/spreads when going somewhere too.  After trying recipe after recipe of homemade crackers I saw my Lavash Bread sitting in the fridge (I use it for pizza & wraps) and thought I'd give it a go.  PERFECTION!!!!!!!  Great topped with sliced cheese, chicken salad, etc., dips, spreads.

Josephs Lavash Bread
Spray Olive Oil
Sea Salt
Seasonings ~ Whatever you like but I usually sprinkle on chives, parsley & garlic

Spray a cookie sheet.  Put the lavash bread on the sheet.  Spray the bread.  Sprinkle with the salt & seasonings and spray again.  Using a pizza cutter cut the bread into the size crackers you want (large ones are excelent for sandwiches  )  Bake at 350 until the bread gets brown.  Watch it carefully.  It doesn't take very long and the bread can go from brown to burnt quickly!!!!!  Ask me how I know! 

This makes an extremely crispy cracker and stays good for awhile in a ziplock bag.  Net carbs for entire recipe is 8.  1/4 of the crackers would be 2 net carbs.

Nice recipes, Kim!

One question though... If the lavash bread crackers get very crispy, wouldn't they crumble if used for sandwiches?

But used as crackers with dips, cheeses, deli sliced meats, etc., I'll bet they're yummy!

Tony - they are very crunchy.  The sandwiches are more like big deli meat and cheese between crackers but I like the crunch.  Plus I put mayo on both crackers which holds it together.  YUM!  I also love the crackers with peanut butter.

Not too late Jo    

Contest closes day after thanksgiving.

I can say these are really good.... I stretched the batter out thin on a cookie sheet and made them into a pumpkin roll.  I put them in the freezer just long enough to firm up a little and sliced them thin like a little cookie.  Oh man    Soooo good   Everyone liked them Jo
