Hi, Me again just had to share this one with the family, These are some of the treat I well be cooking this winter: I do more baking this time of the year. I need help with changing the recipes that I posted.  


PECAN PIE MUFFINS
2/3 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
48 drops FAT TO SKINNY Zero Sweetener
1/2 cup Carbquik baking mix- http://www6.netrition.com/tova_carbquik_page.html
1 cup pecans, finely chopped, about 3 1/2 ounces

In a small-medium bowl, whisk the butter, eggs, vanilla and sweetener. The mixture may look curdled. Whisk in the Carbquik until a smooth batter forms. Stir in the pecans. Spoon into 12 greased or paper-lined muffin tins and bake at 350� 15 minutes until golden brown and set in the center. The toothpick test will not work for these. They won't rise much and will be very small. Carefully remove them from the tins and cool on a wire rack.

Desserts and Sweets / CHEWY PEANUT BUTTER CANDY
« on: October 23, 2010, 12:42:11 AM »
Here are some recipes using whey protein powders: That I found and hope to make in the future :



CHEWY PEANUT BUTTER CANDY
2 tablespoons butter *
1/4 cup natural peanut butter *
12 drops FTS ZERO Sweetener
1 cup chocolate whey protein powder *
1/4 cup Da Vinci sugar free syrup, French vanilla or caramel flavor

Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave. Blend in the peanut butter with a spoon until smooth then stir in the Splenda. Add the protein powder and mix as well as possible. It will be crumbly. Work in the syrup with a spoon until you end up with a glossy, sticky, caramel-like goo. Press this into a small non-stick foil lined container and freeze until firm enough to cut into serving size pieces, about 2 hours. Once it has frozen overnight, it will be very hard. You can eat it frozen, but it will be a lot more chewy. If you don't want to freeze it, keep it refrigerated but it will be very soft and kind of messy to eat.

Makes 4-8 servings
Can be frozen but must be thawed to eat

* I used Peter Pan No Sugar Added creamy peanut butter so I can't say for sure if natural peanut butter would work exactly the same. I used Designer Whey brand protein powder. Add a pinch of salt if you're using unsalted butter.

Desserts and Sweets / New York Syle Cheese Cake
« on: May 24, 2010, 09:19:48 PM »
I love cheese cake and wonder if I could fine a recipe for it and I did and it is keeping with our carb.
So I share with everyone.


Crust
1 1/2 cups almond flour
6 Tbsp Splenda
5 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted


Filling:
24 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups Splenda
3 eggs, room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon extract
16 ounces sour cream


Make Crust: Mix Splenda and almond flour with melted butter; press onto bottom and 1 1/2 inches up sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside while mixing filling.

Beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy, keeping the mixer on a low setting throughout the beating and mixing process. Add Splenda a little at a time and continue beating until creamy. Add one egg at a time and beat very briefly after each egg. When eggs have been mixed into the cream cheese add vanilla and mix briefly, just until combined. Add the sour cream last and beat briefly.

Pour cream cheese mixture into the springform pan. Bake at 325° (300° for dark, nonstick pan) for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Check before an hour is up and if it's getting brown, turn oven off and begin the next step. When time is up, prop open oven door, turn off the heat and leave in oven for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove from oven. Cool to room temperature then chill 24 hours before serving.

Ask Umpa / Almond flour
« on: May 24, 2010, 08:10:47 PM »
Hi, Umpa  could we use almond flour in our cooking? I found a cook book that use it a lot. So I was wondering could we use this type of flour.The book say that there is a few carb  in recipe the most I see come from flour that is used. Like Hazelnut Vanilla Pancake which call for 1 cup of almond flour, 1/4 cup hazelnuts, 4eggs, 2 tbs of honey, 1teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of baking power, butter for frying.

I been trying to share with people I know about Doug's book and how it can help them with there weight. And they look at me as if I'm going pull some pills or business card out of my bag and hand it too them. I first tell them I make know money from this book and I did not write the book. So once I tell them that then there start to listen.  But I do not tell them too much info, I try to point them to book store or website to read for them self. But these people are not welling to look online to get the info. They are happy with there weight as well. Some people are happy being big that all I can think. Just seeing if anyone else is talking to people with the same mine set. I well not talk too them any more about weight loss:o
