<h2>
<u>CRACKER BARREL CHICKEN TENDERS</u></h2>
<div>
When we go to a Cracker Barrel restaurant, this is one of our "go to" choices because these chicken tenders are unique in that they are not breaded and always have a great tangy flavor and they are juicy and delicious. Olivia has this recipe that is loaded with sweet citrus flavor that can really hit the spot. Marinating it ahead of time makes this an easy weeknight meal that is sure to satisfy. If you make enough, they are also really good the next day for lunch either in a sandwich or on a nice crisp, green salad. If you try them, we are pretty sure you will like them!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Olivia found this recipe at www.thelittlepine.com. The picture you see below comes from that website and shows how delicious it looks. Meatloaf is a staple when it comes comfort food and with cold weather moving in where we live, it seems a good time to share this low carb alternative to a traditional meatloaf recipe. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Many of the common flavors associated with meatloaf are here--tomato, garlic, onion, and Worcestershire sauce. The addition of mozzarella cheese adds a nice moisture, flavor and texture factor that makes this meatloaf exceptional. If you are trying to watch your intake of carbs, you may want to add this recipe to your rotation. I don't think you will be disappointed.</span><br />

Cooler weather is just around the corner and this hot chocolate mix will be just the thing to take the chill off and provide you with a healthy dose of protein as well. Olivia enjoys this drink often as her breakfast and finds it really filling and satisfying plus it is just plain yummy! When she makes it she uses more protein, collagen, and cocoa powder than the original recipe calls for. The original is found below. <br />
<br /><br />
You may find you want to just play with the recipe to see what you like. When Olivia makes it she uses three tablespoons of mix with two tablespoons of heavy whipping cream in a big mug of boiling water. She likes to drink it almost every day...no matter what the weather is. When we travel together, she is even kind enough to make a travel mug for her mother. Enjoy!<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">LOW CARB STRAWBERRY MUFFINS</span></b><br />
The original recipe Olivia found to make these muffins calls for cranberry sauce. Olivia decided to try substituting some strawberries in a bit of water and Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet to make a strawberry sauce. The result was really delicious! You could stick to the original recipe shown below or experiment with other fruits to make your own "sauce." <br />
<br />
We are all looking for a quick and easy breakfast, especially this time of year when the kids are going back to school and life seems to get more hectic. Make these muffins on the weekend and enjoy them well into the week. Happy baking!<br />

<br />
<b><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">LOW CARB CHICKEN SALAD WRAPS</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Chicken salad is a summer staple and if you are like Olivia and I you may be looking for a slightly different twist on your usual recipe. Olivia discovered this recipe at www.lowcarbyum.com and it is loaded with not only the bright flavor of ginger but with the crunchy texture of the broccoli slaw. Wrapping all of this deliciousness up in a crisp piece of your favorite lettuce or putting it on your favorite bread or even eating it alone or stuffed in a tomato can be a great hot summer day meal. </span><br />
<br />
Make the break from your usual chicken salad and give this flavor filled recipe a try. You'll find yourself going back to it again and again.<br />

<br />
<h2>
<b><u>LOW CARB BROCCOLI SALAD</u></b></h2>
This fantastic recipe came from <a href="http://www.lowcarbmaven.com/">www.lowcarbmaven.com</a> and it is a winner. Olivia added cubed cheddar cheese, bacon, and some sunflower seeds to the original recipe to give it a bit more texture and flavor. The sesame oil seems to be one of the distinguishing flavors in this recipe and gives the whole thing a nutty flavor that blends beautifully with the sweetened mayo and subtle white vinegar. If you are looking for something slightly different and yet low carb to add to your summer picnic or gathering, give this a try. You will definitely find yourself with an empty serving bowl when the meal is finished. Enjoy summer food!<br />

<b> </b>When I was younger, I really had a distaste for iced coffee. I found it to be bitter, rather flat, and worst of all COLD. I know that may sound odd since it is technically iced coffee, but instead of tasting like a delightfully creamy, cool confection, it tasted to me like hot coffee that had, unfortunately, just gone cold.<br />
Fast forward to today. Olivia made a batch of iced coffee for me as part of my birthday celebration, and when I tasted it, I was hooked. This recipe is not only cold and refreshing, but it is creamy, smooth, and just sweet enough to be delicious (I like my hot coffee unsweetened). I quickly became hooked on this drink. It is low carb and stores extremely well in the refrigerator. I am a big fan. Thanks Olivia for getting your mom hooked on this one! Enjoy summer with an iced coffee featuring Trim Healthy Mama ingredients. Look for them on the THM website.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Looking for a great springtime dip for vegetables or chips? Thinking it is hard to find a low carb version? Well here is a winner. Olivia found this recipe on a web site called <a href="http://www.lowcarbmaven.com/">www.lowcarbmaven.com</a>. It has all the springtime fresh taste of horseradish, green onions, and dill weed with, of course, a touch of garlic. This recipe is a delightful mix of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors. It will wake up your taste buds and give your mouth something to sing about. Why not give it a try for your next carry in, game night, or perhaps an appetizer for Easter? You'll find yourself making it more than once.</span><br />

<br />
Olivia created this recipe herself and with great success. The radishes turn into "radishtatoes" that are very similar to potatoes. When I first heard of this idea my thought was a negative one I will admit. Olivia assures me the sharp flavor of the radishes disappears when they are cooked and they are an excellent low carb alternative to potatoes. <br />
<br />
This dish contains lots of delicious low carb vegetables and tons of protein. Since we aren't quite there in terms of grilling season in this part of the country (it is snowing today), this warm and satisfying dish may be just the comfort you need until warm weather fare becomes the norm. Enjoy!<br />

<br />
LOW CARB CROCK POT VEGGIES AND ROAST<br />
<br />
1 bag of whole radishes, left whole, but trim the ends and wash<br />
1 bag of baby carrots, left whole washed<br />
1 large purple onion, cut into chunks<br />
2 smaller (or 1 large) English post roast<br />
ground rosemary<br />
garlic powder<br />
onion powder<br />
salt<br />
pepper<br />
2 cups beef broth<br />
olive oil<br />
<br />
1) In a crock pot, add a crock pot liner for easy clean up. Dump the radishes in the bottom followed by the carrots and lastly the onions on top.<br />
<br />
2) Generously season both sides of the roasts with the spices listed above. Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium high heat. Quickly sear both sides of the roasts. Remove the roasts to the crock pot and sit side by side over the veggies.<br />
<br />
3) Turn the pan up to high and quickly add the beef broth to the pan, using a spatula to scrap any of the yummy bits of seasoning off the bottom. Pour this mixture over the beef.<br />
<br />
4) At this point you have a choice. You can immediately turn the crock pot on, or you can put the crock pot in the fridge overnight and turn the meal on for the next day. I refrigerated mine until the next morning.<br />
<br />
5) To cook, cook on low for 8 hours. The meat falls apart and the meal is delicious!<br />

I have to say Olivia's journey into low carb cooking has been an astonishing one. She has lost a great deal of weight, she is living healthier than ever, and she has created some fantastic recipes along the way. I won't lie and tell you that every low carb recipe I've ever tried (most of them recipes I found somewhere on the internet) have been home runs. Some are poor substitutes for the real thing, but many are delightful and good enough to satisfy the urge for the high carb real thing. <br />
<br />
Eating low carb requires a mindset that is open to making healthy choices and is not prone to be what I would call a "food snob" when it comes to trying something new. This recipe for low carb "mac and cheese" substitutes cauliflower. No it is not going to have the starch that is one of the things that makes real mac and cheese appealing but it is a flavorful substitute that may satisfy your craving and keep you eating healthy dishes. The choice of cheeses take this "mac and cheese" to new flavorful heights and make it a very flavorful dish. Hope you enjoy it!<br />

<br />
MAC AND CHEESE LOW CARB CAULIFLOWER<br />
<br />
*approximately 11 cups cauliflower pieces in a little larger than bite-sized pieces, washed<br />
*2 cups unsweetened almond milk<br />
*1 cup fontina cheese, shredded<br />
*2 cups smoked gouda cheese, shredded<br />
*1 small container marscapone cheese<br />
*1 cup shredded parmesan<br />
*garlic powder<br />
*white pepper<br />
*paprika<br />
*salt<br />
<br />
1) Place the cauliflower pieces in a glass bowl with about 1/2 cup of water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 3 minutes, or until the cauliflower just begins to steam. Remove and dump in a greased baking dish, making sure to drain and discard the water. The goal here is to just slightly steam the cauliflower, NOT to cook it and make it a mushy mess.<br />
<br />
2) In a large pan on medium heat, warm the milk. Once the milk starts to steam just a bit, dump in the gouda, fontina, and marscapone cheeses. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes a cohesive sauce. Add the spices at that point.<br />
<br />
3) Pour the sauce over the cauliflower. Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 40 minutes.<br />
<br />
4) Remove the pan from the oven and remove the foil. At this point, you might notice oil from the cheeses separated floating on top of the mixture depending on the cheeses you used. I used a spoon and took some of the visible oil off, which was easy. You do not have to do this step. Sprinkle the parmesan over, and return the pan to the oven for another 10 minutes or so until it is golden and bubbly.<br />
<br />
5) Serve! This recipe also makes wonderful leftovers!<br />

This great recipe comes from a website called All Day I Dream About Food. Olivia told me about this site and I wanted to make a nice coffee cake for hospitality hour at church. This recipe fit the bill. A number of people in our congregation are diabetic and I wanted to find a recipe that would be yummy yet good for them to eat. The coffee cake has a nice texture, a great cinnamon center, and delicious cream cheese icing. Grab a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy this cake.</div>

Like many people, I found myself with a few ingredients leftover from another recipe that I didn't know what to do with, so I looked for a recipe that called for kiwis and bananas. The search led me to a site called Genius Kitchen and they had a recipe for kiwi and banana muffins. I modified the recipe slightly by using stevia instead of sugar and almond flour instead of regular flour. Olivia, in her efforts to eat less carbs, has convinced me to use almond flour when I can. The result was a moist, fruity muffin that is delightful. If you'd like to make something a little different than your ho-hum muffin, give this one a try.</div>

Olivia likes this low carb muffin recipe so much she has made it several times. It comes from a site called www.ketochristiancooking.com. I have not tried them but she and her husband have raved about how good they are. She mentioned to me that it is key to use low carb cranberry sauce when you make them. If you struggle with coming up with something healthy and delicious for breakfast day in and day out, this is a super alternative to the humdrum usual breakfast fare. Enjoy them!<br />

This recipe is one you will really like. Olivia found this at www.joyfilledeats.com. Olivia has recently discovered a host of really good low carb recipes. The reason is not just that it is the new year and many people are thinking about how to lose weight and cut calories. She has been under a doctor's care for a medical condition and has lost over 100 pounds! She has done it largely because she and her husband have made a commitment to getting healthy and making good choices. The results have been phenomenal. In the future, you will find many "regular" recipes here but you will also find many that have been modified to be healthier.

You won't be sorry you added this to your Christmas goodie list of things to make and share with others. It sets up well and holds together for ease in packing and sharing with others. It comes from Just a Pinch Recipes online. I wanted to try it because you could make it in a crock pot with a liner and all you have to do is stir and spoon it out into little mounds that look like Bun candy bars. It is delicious!

The holidays have moved in quickly and chances are excellent you may be having company arrive to stay with you for a few days. Muffins are always a good choice for a breakfast offering and this is a great recipe that will help avoid packing on the holiday pounds. Olivia is uncertain where she found this recipe but it is a tried and true one.<br />
<br />
Don't be put off by the use of some ingredients you may not find as traditional. You can find them in health food stores or online. Once you put the effort to stocking your pantry with these items, you will enjoy finding lots of new things to make.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Olivia and I hope you and your family and friends have a great Thanksgiving.<br />
-Nanette<br />

When Olivia was growing up, making traditional Chex Mix was always part of the snack offerings at Christmas time. Over the years, we have experimented with various ingredients to see what we like. This year we are starting out with this variation. It is a good one.<br />
-Nanette<br />
<br />
First melt one stick of butter in a large sheet pan and add 1/2 tsp of onion powder, 1/2 tsp of garlic powder, 1 tsp. seasoned salt and 3 T. of Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.<br />
<br />
Add the following:<br />
2 cups Rice Chex<br />
2 cups Corn Chex<br />
2 cups Wheat Chex<br />
1 cup Multi Grain Cheerios<br />
1 cup Bugles<br />
1 cup Multi Grain Cheezit Crackers<br />
1 cup Mixed Nuts<br />
<br />
Stir well and bake in a 250 degree oven for one hour but take it out and stir it well every fifteen minutes. Let it cool well after baking and enjoy.<br />

You may have noticed Olivia has come up with an amazing number of low carb recipes recently. She has been watching her carb intake faithfully as part of a weight loss journey she has been on for a while. She has been enormously successful and has found many great recipes as a result. This one came from www.lowcarbyum.com It is a variation of fried green beans. Unlike the usual fried green beans you may have gotten as an appetizer in a restaurant, this recipe is loaded with more flavor and Olivia says she likes it better than restaurant green beans. I haven't tried this recipe yet, but I'm pretty sure I will. Olivia has definitely found the right approach to weight loss. She keeps her menu varied, healthy, and delicious.<br />

This low carb recipe is a keeper that Olivia found on a web site called WWW.MYPCOSKITCHEN.COM. The neat thing about this recipe is if you want to you can use frozen broccoli that is thawed and drained well. If you are tired of the same old breakfast muffin, this would work well as a breakfast item. If you are looking for a different bread item for your Thanksgiving table, this would be excellent as well. You can even treat it as a side dish for any weekday meal too. This muffin is full of flavor and very versatile!<br />

Chicken Soup for the Bowlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01837818551356690837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105839286942950258.post-21740391910042761312018-10-14T15:47:00.001-07:002018-10-14T15:47:51.476-07:00LOW CARB PIZZA<span style="font-size: large;"><b>LOW CARB PIZZA</b></span><br />
Olivia made this beautiful and delicious pizza with what is called "fathead dough." She really likes this recipe and says the dough is one of the most versatile low carb doughs out there. She found this version at a site called www.lowcarbmaven.com. <br />
<br />
When making this delightful creation she used turkey pepperoni to cut down on the fat. One tip Olivia also recommends is checking your marinara sauce if it is store bought to be sure it has no sugar added if you are really trying to make a pizza with both low carbs and low calories. Many of the store marinara sauces are loaded with sugar which kind of defeats the purpose of making a low carb pizza! If you are a pizza lover but watching your calories and carbs, load up this amazing pizza with your favorite veggies and meats and enjoy!<br />

<br />
Olivia found this satisfying chicken recipe on a site called www.ibreathimhungry.com. It has everything you like about chicken parmesan without the added carbs and sugars. It is loaded with flavor from herbs like parsley and basil with a healthy amount of garlic added in to pack a punch. The addition of spaghetti sauce adds a smooth and pleasing texture to the dish.<br />
<br />
If you've been watching your carbs and calories, you will like what this unique casserole has to offer. Try it soon and you will probably find yourself making it again and again.<br />

<b><br /></b>
Olivia found this recipe at www.theskinnyfork.com. The idea of low carb biscuits and gravy seems like kind of an oxymoron, but it is true! I have not personally had these myself but according to Olivia if you make these with the idea that , "Hey I can have biscuits and gravy on a low carb diet" you will really enjoy them. When she fixed them she shared with me that they were really good.<br />
<br />
Part of the success of following a low carb diet plan is finding ways to have some of your favorite comfort foods and not feeling like you are sacrificing every single day. Recipes like this one may help you keep to a healthy eating plan. Hope you enjoy it!<br />

Olivia found this great, refreshing summertime dessert on a site called www.cleanfoodcrush.com. It is super for those times when you crave something like ice cream or sherbet but don't want to partake of the calories or carbs. <br />
<br />
Olivia has had a great deal of success losing weight and eating healthier by making a few changes such as the types of sweeteners she uses and using ingredients like almond milk or coconut milk.<br />
<br />
This frozen dessert reminds me of pineapple whips we used to get at the county fair or pineapple sherbet I would eat as a child. Pineapple is such a great fruit that is big on flavor, texture, and just the right amount of tartness.<br />
<br />
Try making this sweet treat the next time you crave something cold and yummy.<br />

You can use a touch of sweetener if you choose (raw honey,
stevia, pure maple....you really don't need a lot! A few drops will
do...raw honey tastes the best with pineapple). I do NOT use any

<br />The tomatoes....oh the tomatoes! This time of year many people have so many tomatoes they are either looking for new and exciting ways to use them, canning or freezing them, or giving them away.<br />
Olivia found an excellent way to make them into a crunchy, satisfying snack.<br />
<br />
These tomato chips are seasoned and slowly dried in the oven. Whether you are using a food dehydrator or your oven, you will want to be sure you have sufficient oil coating on the tomatoes or have sprayed with vegetable oil your dehydrator shelves so the tomatoes don't stick. You don't want to end up with broken pieces that are hard to remove.<br />
<br />
You want to end up with chips that are thoroughly dried and full of condensed tomato flavor. They are very satisfying and a great way to keep the summer joy of ripe tomatoes going just a little bit longer. <br />
