KathySews   Advanced Beginner MI USA Member since 10/1/06 Posts: 2898	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 12/17/11 7:05 AM I am attempting to reduce carbs from my diet with the related ups and downs. I love my chips and crackers so changing the grab and go eating habits takes time plus I love to bake and that is a struggle - I need to bake some bread. I thought we could share some recipes or substitutes that satisfies our carb food needs. 1. Potato replacement - I am trying butternut squash, cut as french fries and baked 400 degrees15-20 minutes 2. Parmaisan chips - shredded cheese baked although I find them a bit too salty I still have a baking fetish that needs to be satisfied. Will be doing some research on that.

Here's a link to recipes on the Low Carb forum Lo Carb Recipes

If yes, roasted chick peas (Garbanzo beans) are really good. You can vary the seasonings and they give a satisfying crunch. A Google search should find several recipes. I like roasted nuts too. I once found and lost again a low carb gluten free pizza crust recipe. You used the cheese to make a crust and put the sauce, meat (if using) and vegies on top. I wish I had printed off as it was really quite good. ------ Proud parent of a Dwight International School Honour Roll Student

Tasty with salt and pepper, but not a chip replacement. At least I'll get my vitamins Thanks for the links but I am thinking more along the lines of recipes people know are good. There are lots of lousy ones...I have tried them. I was wondering if gluten-free means low carb. I will check boxes next time I am at the store. -- Edited on 12/17/11 2:59 PM --

a7yrstitch   Intermediate TX USA Member since 4/1/08 Posts: 4402	Login to reply to this post In reply to KathySews Like this post Date: 12/17/11 3:28 PM Cleaned up my zucchini bits (or 'pie') recipe and posted it on page 5 of the Recipes thread. Zucchinni Bites (or 'Pie') It is really good. Once you have made it a time or two to get the feeling of the moisture content at the end of the cooking time and when it cools a little bit, it will be easy to change up. There are any number of things you could add in: steamed and pressed (to get the extra liquid out) spinach ground buffalo or ground hamburger tiny whole grape tomatoes partially pressed into the top lightly steamed cauliflower diced ham The link doesn't want to cooperate. I'll try to edit it later and hope for better results. ------ I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.

Page 5, Recipes thread. Maple-Walnut Torte And just noticed my note that I added a teaspoon of cinnamon to the original recipe. (Bet you would have done that anyway.) ------ I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.
Sherril Miller   Advanced CA USA Member since 8/24/02 Posts: 7473	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 12/17/11 6:17 PM My low carb pancakes: slightly less than 1/2 cup almond flour 1 egg 1/4 cup sugar free syrup - maple is delicious 2 tsp. canola oil 1/2 tsp baking powder shake of salt 2 shakes of cinnamon Water for desired thickness I baked them on a Pam sprayed hot griddle just like regular pancakes. They didn't bubble much so I turned them when the top looked mostly cooked. These would also be good as muffins I think or maybe even waffles. They have some texture and are very filling. They are sweet so you may not need syrup on top. ------ Visit my blog at http://sewingsaga.blogspot.com If it's worth sewing, it's worth sewing well; and if it's worth sewing well, it's worth FITTING FIRST! - TSL

When ever the urge to bake something decadant comes over her, she indulges and then takes it to one of her friends that will enjoy it. She enjoys the baking and has made many people happy with her gifts.
