General Discussion / Ihop/breakfast restaurants

Hi Carb Warriors  ;D
Wanted to go eat "out" for a change the other night and thought eggs and sausage would be tasty on a cold winter's eve.  I decided to look up the omelette nutritional info for Ihop before heading out the door.  Yup.  Loaded.  They use a pre-made mix.  Some of the omelettes have 100+ grams in them.  And that's just the ones with meat and cheese, no sauces or extras.  We went anyway and I ordered some yummy fried eggs (yolk popped and fried hard...mmmmm) with bacon on the side, sans pancakes!
Anywho, its great being able to look things up before you go, eh?  No surprises that way. :)

I'm feeling relatively proud of myself for finding this out.  So, for the many of you who already knew all of this, just play along and pretend I'm really smart.  ;D ;D ;) ;)

General Discussion / Almond flour
« on: November 20, 2011, 06:15:01 PM »
Is there a big nutritional difference between bleached and unbleached almond flour?  I couldn't find unbleached at wal mart. ( I also couldn't find xanthm gum...sigh)
Thanks!

General Discussion / Nut butter?
« on: November 16, 2011, 11:55:52 PM »
Does anyone use cashew or almond butter as a treat (100% natural, nothing but nuts and oil, maybe salt)?  I wonder if it would be good on a breakfast OMM?

I'm thinking of getting a dehydrator.  Besides jerky, what do you use it for?  What other kitchen tools do you find essential in the kitchen?
Thanks!  :)

Ask Umpa / Qdoba Tortilla Soup
« on: November 11, 2011, 10:03:37 PM »
Hi Umpa!  :)
One of my favorite soup is the tortilla at Qdoba. I like to have chicken and cheese added to it.  I looked at the nutritional content for a 10 oz serving....6 net carbs with 2 grams of sugar...I imagine it's got lime juice in it, plus juice from tomatoes ( http://www.qdoba.com/Calculator.aspx#).  Do you have a tortilla soup conversion?  I think it might be different from taco soup. 
Thank you!!   :D

Dinner Recipes / Paula D's Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf
« on: November 10, 2011, 10:21:07 AM »
 :D  Well, I'm a burger fan, and really enjoy my meatloaf too!  Here's Paula's recipe for BC Meatloaf.  I just left out the bread crumbs, and didn't use but about 5 pieces of bacon....and of course, used pork rinds to put on top for the crunch! It was super good...

General Questions / Sugar free mocha at Starbucks
« on: November 05, 2011, 08:43:48 PM »
Hmmm, I love the SF Skinny Mocha at Starbucks, but don't like the 14 grams of carb that come with it. 
Can't I order a regular coffee with just a shot of the SF Mocha syrup in it? Then add a bit of heavy cream. That would certainly take out the sugar/carbs from the milk in the drink. Is this right?  Hope so, cuz I'm sipping a decaf with SF Mocha syrup in it right now.... ;D

General Discussion / Doubling a recipe
« on: November 04, 2011, 09:08:18 AM »
Hey you Guys!
I'm heading to a breakfast party this weekend and want to take the sausage quiche that I saw the recipe for under the breakfast items.  I've made a zillion times at home, but wonder if I double the recipe will the cooking time vary much?  I thought about just putting it into two containers instead of one big one.
Any ideas? Thank you!  ;D

General Recipe Exchange (please post your recipe in appropriate category below) Here if a category below doesn't fit / Sausage Balls!
« on: November 02, 2011, 04:04:13 PM »
Sausage balls are one of my favorite guilty pleasures...especially around the holidays!  Here is what I did to make them lower carb.  They are soooooo yummy!!!



1 block Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp Cheddar
1 Chub breakfast sausage ( I use mild, but spicy is good too!)
1 Cup Almond Flour
1 3/4 Cup Flax Flour


Preheat over to 350

Over low/medium heat melt cheese, then turn off heat, and add sausage.  Mix well.
Pour sausage/cheese mix into large mixing bowl, add almond and flax flour slowly while combining. I usually have to use my hands to make it mix well.
Roll pieces of dough into little balls, and place on parchment lined baking sheet.  Don't worry of they are almost touching, the dough doesn't rise much in the oven.
Bake about 25 minutes.

Careful pulling them out of the oven, the tray will be super greasy.  
Serve hot or at room temp.  THey are still tasty reheated in the microwave!
Enjoy!! ;D
