Cornbread is an easy one if you use a mix. I like mine sweet with jalapenos- I use this mix and chop up a jalapeno and stir it in. I like mine spicy, so I leave the seeds in, but some folks like to de-seed the jalapeno(s) first. You might want to just leave out the jalapenos altogether though- it's more of a southwest/tex-mex thing than a southern thing. If you overcook it it'll be dry, so make sure to stay on top of it- take it out as soon as a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out without batter on it (it's ok if there are some crumbs, though). Greasing the pan with bacon grease is another great trick - the sweet, savory, and spicy all together is a wonderful combination (even without the jalapenos this is still a great trick). They're best served warm from the oven with butter, and they make fantastic breakfast fare too.

Candied yams is another easy one. Here's a good recipe IMO. Be aware that they're supposed to be quite soft when they're done - almost creamy in consistency- so depending on the recipe you might have to leave them in for longer than it calls for. And yes, it's supposed to be that sweet! It'll probably taste like dessert to you- almost like a pudding. You could also always go the canned route too, but it's not as good IMO. This brand isn't terrible IMO. They'll be a nice side dish to yorkshire pudding and a roast, I think - the sweet and creamy of the yams will be a nice contrast to the fluffy and savory of the roast/pudding. In this case, garlic will still work for the roast, but I'd stay away from rosemary (rosemary + yams aren't the best combination).

Some steamed green beans would be a good addition too, and they're hard to fuck up. Make sure not to overcook them though! They should be softer than raw, but still just able to "snap" when bent in half. And don't add dairy to them- fresh steamed veggies are supposed to be a counterpoint to the richness of the rest of the meal. We add a lot of butter to things, but besides cream in mashed potatoes, most folks don't like dairy in their veggies here (the sole exception being the midwest, who are mostly descended from nordic immigrants- they really like their "hot dish" there, lol).

But YSK I'm not a southern girl, so you should take the advice of the other ladies in this thread when it contradicts mine :)

>I love them. I can't live without pizza. Fried food is awesome.

It sounds counter-intuitive, but the cravings aren't a psychological thing. It's a hormone thing. Go low carb, and it brings your blood sugar down, which brings down your insulin levels, which brings down your cravings. It's actually fairly amazing how well it works for most people. Stay low carb (I completely recommend very low carb, which seems to reduce cravings much better, so here's another vote for r/keto) and the cravings will go away.

For some people the cravings take a while to go completely, and sort of fade out over months. For others (including me), all carb cravings were gone in a week. Now when I have cravings it's for really good Brie, or olives, or bacon (you'd think all that bacon would get old, but it really doesn't).

Pizza? You got it. I like Fat Head better than regular pizza. No, that's not hyperbolic BS. I swear to God that stuff is amazing.

Fried food? Fry away! You can't fry anything with lots of carbs, but fried chicken is a go and fried mozzarella sticks are perfect. Basically you can fry anything as long as you learn how to use almond flour, coconut flour, and crushed pork rinds instead of bread crumbs (ok, I'll cop to cheating a little on this one; sometimes I mix in some panko because it coats better; just track your carb intake and if you're under your carb limit for the day, it shouldn't be a problem).

Missing pancakes? Got you covered.

Honestly, keto is a fucking delicious diet. The hardest part is really that you need to re-learn how to cook with new ingredients. I highly suggest hanging out in r/ketorecipes.

Oh yeah. Halo Top ice cream.

I am a newbie but I heard about carbquick. I have been waiting on payday (tomorrow) to order some but it looks like a nice alternative for someone who can't break their addiction to bread LOL.

Speaking of bread, I tried making Oopsie Bread 2-3 days ago and they were a success!! I used them to make me a real hamburger. Made my whole week.

To hit my sweet tooth, I blend some heavy whipping cream and peanut butter in a blender or food processor, squeeze a couple drops of liquid Stevia, and then freeze it. It doesn't take long to get an ice cream consistency. Or, you can line a plate with saran wrap and flatten the mixture on it, freeze, and then cute it into strips so it resembles a "bark". My kids love it.

I also recommend drinking as much water as you can, I know that helped me. Also if you like ice, munch on ice chips.

For convenience, you might even look into Keto Chow. It's basically a meal replacement shake that tastes really good.

I have seen others mention Halo Top. I have never tried it, but wanted to give you that suggestion.

Fellow celiac here! I have a horrible selection for grocery stores, so I buy a lot of things off of Amazon a case at a time. It is way cheaper than I can find anywhere this way. Stop buying the Udi's muffins. Honestly, they taste like crap and you can make ones that are soooo much better! I like to do a lot of baking mixes so I don't have to guess on what ratios of flours to use. Anyways, here are a few of my favorites:

• Pasta that tastes good and has good texture - Tinkyada
  
  
• Pizza crust mix that my husband likes even better than the gluten filled stuff I used to make - Bob's Red Mill GF Pizza Crust Mix
  
  
• Bread mix that we make in a dedicated GF bread machine - Glutino Gluten Free Bread Mix
  
  
• Muffins - King Arthur Muffin Mix
  
  
• Pancakes, waffles, cookies, biscuits, muffins, just all around awesome baking substitute - Pamela's Gluten Free Baking Mix
  
  
  If you get adventurous and want to try baking your items with a flour substitute, Cup4cup or Better Batter are both great. I've used them both as replacements of regular flour in things I've made and turned out very similar to using regular flour. I also make my own chicken fingers using the GF Bisquick (there is a GF chicken finger recipe on the box). We also eat a lot of rice and quinoa.

The first few months are hard but I promise it gets better and that you’re doing an awesome job. Trying to breastfeed is so so hard and demanding and stressful on top of everything else about being a new mom. I struggled with breastfeeding in the beginning and supplemented with formula for a few weeks before my LO got his tongue tie fixed (we didn’t realize it at first that that was the reason). I know it’s easier said than done, trust me, but try not to feel guilty about supplementing. If you are anything like me, I was determined to be successful at breastfeeding so I tried everything. I was pumping every few hours as well as putting LO on the boob so that I would keep producing. It was a struggle. If you haven’t yet, please try lactation cookies and mothers tea. I will link both. The cookies are actually really good and I swear both of those things helped me produce enough milk. Eventually, I was able to provide for my LO with just breast milk. It gets SO much easier but if it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out. The most important thing you can do is focus on your child and give her whatever she needs, be it formula or breast milk.

What helped me the most was time. Seriously, it just took a while to get the hang of a new lifestyle. Over time I felt better and better and learned more easy recipes and cooking techniques and it all became easier.

One thing I missed the most was good baked sweets, but then a friend who's son is allergic to wheat turned me onto this book http://www.cakemixdoctor.com/books/the-cake-mix-doctor-bakes-gluten-free/ and told me, "It'll change your life. I use it for all the kid parties and no one even realizes they're eating gluten free."

Recipes, I haven't yet done the whole make your own flour thing. SO much extra work. I've found that the Pamela's baking mix makes a pretty good sub in. http://www.amazon.com/Pamelas-Ultimate-Baking-Pancake-4-Pound/dp/B000NMJWZO I just bought a 25lb bag on amazon because it was less expensive in the long run. Also, the gf pasta with a combo of quinoa, corn, &/or brown rice is better than the just brown rice alone pasta.

And for easy, meat, veggies, and potatoes or rice with some easy sauces (BBQ & curries). Read all the labels, and really, it does get easier/better with time. Good luck.

I started keto just over 5 weeks ago, but I'm planning a keto Thanksgiving with my best friend (who is also doing keto with her fiance!) Here's what I was thinking:

• Turkey with gravy (thickened with xantham gum)
  
• Cornbread stuffing (using this mix I got off amazon)
  
• Roasted brussels sprouts tossed with bacon/mustard/'maple syrup'
  
• Cauliflower mash
  
• Spaghetti squash gratin
  
• Creamed spinach OR something like the balsamic greens in OP's post
  
• Cranberry sauce - either with swerve or the diet sunkist trick!
  
• Pumpkin Cheesecake for dessert
  
  The two things I'll be missing that I haven't figured out how to keto-fy are green bean casserole (just can't do it without those crispy onions) and sweet potato casserole. I could make my own keto marshmallows for the sweet potatoes, but I haven't figured out the best sub for the sweet potatoes themselves. Anyone know which orangey winter squash is the least carb heavy? My research tells me that hubbard squash is the answer, but anyone know anything better than me?

My wife's milk supply was dropping after leaving NICU and she was trying all different things to help increase it. Not sure which ones worked but her supply did improve within a couple days. Again, don't know how much each played a role but the advice was provided by her lactation specialists and family members that work in L&D.

• Pumping isn't the same as your baby so continue breastfeeding to keep production up (paraphrasing this one)
  
• Spectra Baby S2 is a great pump, highly recommend but it can be pricey. My wife used a Medela while in NICU and that one was good but we had to return it. The free one provided by insurance was absolute junk and made her start thinking her body was the issue with not producing.
  
• Lactation Cookies, my wife swears by the chocolate chop oatmeal ones but will tolerate the oatmeal raisin ones. Based on what ended up in the bottles it looks like the cookies do help with production.
  
• Power Pumping helps a lot when supply got low
  
• Lots of water

Cup4cup is flour, made with things that are not wheat - like, rice flour and tapioca and potato starch. I work in a kitchen store, and the gluten-free customers are really enthusiastic about it.

I'm not a health professional, but to my understanding, going gluten-free essentially has no health benefits unless you are Celiac or allergic to wheat or have some level of gluten intolerance. Some people don't even realize their slight allergy or intolerance until they go gluten-free and suddenly feel better. As long as you maintain a healthy balance, gluten-free is not actively unhealthy. You can still eat rice, quinoa, barley, millet, potatoes, and other starches.

The benefits of supporting your spouse and not having to plan twice the number of meals might make it worth a try.

Bonus: Here is an easy way to fix rice, barley, or millet. In a covered casserole dish, combine some rice, barley, or millet with twice as much broth (beef, chicken, veggie, mushroom, whatever you like), cover, and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes. For softer barley, you can add more liquid. Easy squeezy.

Man, I am proud of myself for this one. First, let me specify once again: This is a large, blueberry scone that is only 100 calories and 3 grams net carbs. It's also only 4 (or 5) ingredients, and it's the easiest thing in the world to make.

First and foremost, the star of the show here is carbquik. I don't know why this stuff doesn't pop up in this sub more often. Look, I love almond flour and bread that actually tastes like eggs as much as the next guy, but when I'm truly craving a flour substitute, this stuff is the real deal. Assuming they aren't grossly lying about the carb content here, this is the way to go when replicating anything "bread".

Here's the recipe:

• 1/3rd cup carbquik (90 calories, 2g nc)
  
• Swerve (or sweetener of your choice) until desired sweetness. I usually do like a tablespoon or so. ()
  
• One exact splash of vanilla extract (optional) ()
  
• 8-10 blueberries (7 calories, 1g nc)
  
• Just enough unsweetened almond milk to barely form a dough. Seriously, it should be crumbly and barely stick together. Like, maybe a tablespoon or two of almond milk. (3-8 calories, 0g nc)
  
  Then just mix all that shit together. You can knead it a little if you want, it's not super important. Then cook at 350 for 15 minutes or so, just until it starts getting brown on top. I actually cook mine in an air frier, so I'm not 100% sure how that translates to a standard oven.
  
  But dayum. Not only does this taste great, but it's right around 100 calories and only 3 net carbs. Ridiculous. Goes super well with tea or coffee.
  
  Enjoy, keto friends.

If you’d rather not buy a load of ingredients you won’t use (it doesn’t sound like you will make another cake like this in the future), try Swerve Cake Mix

I haven’t made it myself, but a few friends have with success. It’s a little pricey, but bakes up like normal cake. I’ve seen it for cheaper at Sprouts, you may want to check health food grocers in your area!

I also bake and have made fondant many times (non-keto). I don’t know that you will be able to replicate a sugar free equivalent. Have you considered looking for unsweetened almond paste? Not sure if such a thing exists, but might be worth a try.

For sure! A product called Chebe has been a lifesaver. It is mostly tapioca ("manioc") flour, I think it has some cream of tartar or something else too.

I use the general mix according to the directions on the box, but I do my own thing once the dough is mixed up.

One batch of dough on one cookie sheet will make a thinner crispier pizza that still won't snap if you fold it, thin but not like a cracker.

One batch on a 14" round pizza pan will give you a more chewy and slightly thicker crust.

Follow the directions on the box, but use a tiny bit less water than they say. Only add it if the dough refuses to pick up residual flour in your mixing bowl. It should be sticky but not "wet" when it goes in the pan.

Once the dough is mixed, oil your pan and press the dough in. It's forgiving, so you can manhandle it and smack it around until it's uniform in thickness with a slight dip at the middle. Just make sure there is dough everywhere and no bare spots and you'll be fine.

Bake the crust at 350 with nothing on it for 7 minutes. Pull it out, and slide the whole thing off the pan back into the oven directly on the rack for 8 more minutes. Then pull it out, set the oven to 450, top the pizza, and pop it in whenever. I never time the next part, watch it after 10 minutes for the right level of cheese-browning that you like. I let mine get brown all over.

Its a great mix of textures, crispy and chewy. And it even reheats well!

Not dumb questions at all! So my protein waffles are just waffles made in a waffle maker using a high protein waffle mix. I really like Kodiak Cakes waffle mix because I get great waffles using just mix and water. So no extra sugar or calories. Some people make them using protein powder but I haven't been brave enough for that yet.

& I'm definitely not eating just 300 calories a day, lol. My TDEE (what I burn in a day) is around 1800 calories, so I eat about 1500. Therefore I'm cutting out and not eating those extra 300 calories I burned.

Feel free to ask any more questions! And if you're female I highly recommend checking out /r/xxfitness it's an incredibly helpful subreddit and I learned a ton from reading there.

Carbquik + Protein powder of choice + Unsweetened cashew milk = Magical pancakes or waffles. Usually around 190 calories, 26g protein, and 14g fiber when I make them. Around 2g net carbs.

I make waffles with them. They're crispy so be careful when transporting them, but it's an easy whey to get more protein. I like chocolate protein powder + carbquik + coco powder which produces a brownie-esque waffle/pancake.

Carbquik can also be used to make cheesy biscuits or whatever else your heart desires.

I also like string cheese, pepperoni slices, cottage cheese + protein powder (or yogurt), Kroger brand's carbmaster products, and oven roasted veggies.

There are also "parmesan crisps" and "asiago crisps" that are sold at grocery stores that are for salad toppings.. But could easily be a low carb snack. :-) You can prolly make those at home too.

high five! for quitting smoking! Sorry to hear about the celiac disease.

Bulk Honey Nut Cheerios

Bulk baked beans

Bulk gluten free pancake mix

Gluten free brownie mix

Gluten free corn bread mix

I've tried gluten free baked goods mixes and they're pretty good!

Plus the cd on my list gets you in the ballpark of $100 - just some ideas.

I love Kodiak Cakes! The dark chocolate kind is amazing, I’ll make it in the microwave and it tastes like a brownie in a mug 😍 Good luck!! You got this!

So I’ve been using chebe cheese bread mix to make pizza. It gives you a much more consistent result.

https://i.imgur.com/X031Llf.jpg

I started using their pizza crust mix and it’s even better as it has some herbs in there to give it an extra Italian flavor.

Pro tips:

• when using either chebe mix don’t overdo the cheese. Sharp cheddar is best.
  
• mix all the ingredients (except for the chebe mix) in a bowl first. Measure exactly. Only use a handful of cheese. Definitely use cheese even though the pizza crust mix says its optional.
  
• add half the mix into the ingredients and mix thoroughly with a fork.
  
• add the rest and get your hands in there and fold it all carefully until most of the mix is incorporated.
  
• fold it and squish it against the bowl to pick up as much of the mix as you can as it’s a very fine powder and gets kinda stuck.
  
• take the lump of dough and kneed it thoroughly. Get it to a nice even consistency.
  
• take a circular pizza pan and grease it completely with a stick of butter.
  
• take your dough ball and flatten it in the middle and slowly work it out towards the edges and try to get it to a nice even flatness
  
• par bake at 425 for 7 minutes
  
• remove, flatten, and add sauce, not too much as it will make the pizza soggy
  
• add toppings
  
• bake for 9 minutes
  
• enjoy

This brownie mix is hands down the easiest and best dessert I've had while on keto. You just add eggs and butter. It's best to let them cool before eating them. They taste fudgy and not keto at all. I eat them with Halo Top ice cream and homemade magic shell.

Also, a quick throw together if you have the calories to spare (and want some extra fat): melt kerrygold butter in a ramekin, add 100 cal pack mixed walnuts and almonds, add one packet of splenda, add tbsp of Trader Joe's unsweetened shredded coconut, add Guittard's Extra Dark chocolate chips. Mix, enjoy!

Looks like Amazon has it: Good Dee’s Corn Bread Baking Mix - Grain Free, Sugar Free, Gluten Free, Wheat Free, and Low Carb,7.5 Oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DK7RVG1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Tji6Bb3KV5YXS

> Planning on doing just that once I get my fridge better stocked.

For sure. I think it's all about mindset; keto isn't supposed to be a fad diet you slip in and out of to lose some vanity weight, it's a lifestyle. Finding foods you genuinely enjoy that fit into the diet is absolutely key to sticking with it; afterall who wants to stick with a diet that makes them miserable?

>The problem I am having with this MFP states my calorie goal is 2820 But I would have to eat all day to reach this. Even with just what I mentioned above its always around 1300 end of day and I feel completely full.

Exactly. I disregard calorie suggestions almost entirely because they are pretty unrealistic for me unless I absolutely gorge myself and feel stuffed around the clock.

Typically speaking I start my day with a boosted coffee (which you can totally do yourself with butter + coconut oil + coco powder I just appreciate the convenience) and then around 1-3pm I have a grass fed beef stick and boiled egg or something roughly equivalent not because I'm super hungry but because I know if I don't eat a bit I'll be extra hungry at dinner and make 2 people's worth of food ;) and then I have plenty of room for whatever the heck I want for supper. I'm similarly recommended to eat ~2.8k calories a day and most days I'm barely half that.

On sundays I make a half batch of carbquik biscuits and have two of them, two eggs and a nice keto sausage gravy which clocks in at ~6 net carbs as my "cheat but not cheating" treat.

But ultimately, mixing it up keeps me loving the food I eat which makes it a breeze to stick with keto for me.

For butter cream frosting https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/low-carb-chocolate-frosting/

For cake I used this swerve sweetener cake mix
Swerve Sweets, Chocolate Cake Mix, 10.6 ounces https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F1DR1CQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_XQARDbRYCG2PC

For the cake I follow the directions but instead of water I used 2/3 cup of almond milk and I added semi sweet Lily’s chocolate chips. Prob about a cup.

Then decorated with those same chocolate chips and sugar free whipped cream :)

First thing I'd recommend: buy some carbquik and check out all the awesome replacement recipes because if you're like me, you love Pizza.

Also Great Low Carb Bread Co has some amazing bread & pasta products (Netrition carries it for cheaper shipping if you're on the east coast like me) and look into cauliflower rice/potatoes if you like those staples.

The hardest part of the transition for me was not having access to food staples. It hamstrung my start twice before I found these options. These days I eat mostly Paleo and natural foods, so I eat less of these, but they're amazing stepping stone tools to get you into the diet with low effort.

You might not want powdered sugar if you were going to put fruit topping on the funnel cake. Or you don’t like that much sugar. The funnel cake and even Krispy Kreme original donuts are good without the sugar glaze. More savory. Funnel cake with cinnamon sugar would be good, and powder sugar would dilute the cinnamon.

For those wishing for funnel cakes, you can make them at home. [Mix with funnel pitcher](Funnel Cake Starter Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00191L3YQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_hnvhDb987N0HG) The mix just uses water, so you don’t have to make the whole box at one time. I look at how to videos to see how thick batter is supposed to be. Just mix a little water at a time until you reach the right consistency. Fresh, hot funnel cake for one or two!

Also here's a link to some Aussie stovetop camping recipes.
http://www.brokenheadholidaypark.com.au/4289/10-one-pot-camping-recipes-to-make-on-your-camp-stove/


I generally take shelf stable milk, eggs in a plastic camp egg container that keeps them safe, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, onions etc. Tinned chilli, tinned tomatoes, dry pasta. Hot sauce. Tea and coffee. Bottled water.

With that, we can do a tonne of stuff and we're always pretty happy.

I use it at least twice a week. For certain recipes it's amazing. I use it for frying exclusively and with a flavored sauce it taste pretty close to flour. They have. Cheese biscuit recipe and a tollhouse chocolate chip cookie that are also my favorites

You could also do this recipe battered with soy flour.

If you buy two boxes it's like 11 bucks a box....i use it often and might buy two boxes a year

Not my Friday yet, sadface. Back to 183.2/4/whatever, the normal bounce between pounds.

I am excited for Sunday, though! I am making spritz cookies!! My mom traditionally makes them with almond flavoring, and makes little green trees. X3 I am excited! Annoyance, though - I don't have any cookie tins, so yesterday I sent an email to my team to see if any had any I could borrow. Because this silly programming team of ladies LOVE their cookies and cakes and all that bad stuff. Well, whaddya know? Not a single reply. I'm pretty sure a lot of them dislike me - simply for the fact of being a newcomer female into the team from elsewhere, intruding on their territory and being better at their job than most of them are. The guy I trained with has absolutely no problems, of course, because he's the only male on our team, youngish, and all of the ladies (40's and up) coo over him. Ugh. I don't miss the dirty looks they shoot at me when I say hi. :( Freakin' women.. more territorial than men, I swear. This is why I try to hang out around guys!

Uh.. back to the cookies. Right. I got almond flour from this brand rather than Honeyville because it's a bit cheaper at the moment, and my Swerve came yesterday as well! :D Much baking will ensure on Sunday... AFTER I go to Wally World to buy cookie tins, of course.... I'll probably be nice and bring cookies to work anyway, since hubby and I definitely will be able to eat them all ourselves! Hah.

Thank you for doing this! I've been meaning to ask the Keto Reddit for recipes for Thanksgiving.
Another thing you can use for biscuits is buying Carbquik on amazon. It's amazing! I love using it to make anything "bread" related.

I use Birch Benders Paleo Pancake Mix and Walden Farms Maple Syrup. I’m too lazy to mix up my own ingredients for both 🤣 11 net carbs for both and the O Calorie & Carb syrup is really good.

Pamela's pancake mix. Light fluffy pancakes every time. Also, redditors, don't give me crap about how easy it is to make pancake mix.

Raw Meal chocolate replacement meal. This is my breakfast everyday. I drink it with almond milk. Doesn't taste good with regular water. Whole Foods sells this for $50-60ish.

Tamanishiki Super Premium Short Grain Rice. Only applicable if you have a rice cooker. Best rice I've ever cooked. Maybe cheaper if you have an asian market near you. I do not, so I bought this. I bought this bag for $22 last time.

I did keto for a few years before moving up here and a little bit after (unfortunately, STL's great food scene got the better of me). Trader Joe's was good for some of the staples. I honestly never found anything of value at Aldi's except meat and cheese, which I can just get (better quality) anywhere in STL. Everything else was overprocessed or frozen food shit.

TBH, literally the only thing you'll run into SOME issue with is the flours/powders. If you end up having to find them online, so be it, just buy bulk and don't worry about it. Be sure to get unblanched almond flour AND almond meal, as they're two different things for two different uses. Don't let anyone fool you.

Also, Schnucks carries at TON of flavors of Halo Top ice cream which is keto-friendly you are welcome.

I did end up ordering online a few times but I'd make huge bulk orders of staples. I did most of my keto shopping at Netrition.com, they have a lot of "weird" stuff. I bought some CarbQuick but never ended up using it. Most people would say you're "not supposed to" make foods that are keto versions of baked goods (mostly) because it'll just make you crave the real thing, but who knows. I fell off that ship a long time ago. Now I'm big enough to sink one.

Carbquik Baking Biscuit Mix


Carbquik Baking Biscuit Mix (48oz) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005YVU6FY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_UV1RDbNWRPNAM

Way better and super easy thought I share

Not had that brand, but I've made waffles with Good Dee's before and they were pretty solid. Throw in some know or lily's chocolate chips and some zero sugar syrup and I didn't miss "normal" waffles at all.

No, they are not good substitutes at all unfortunately. If you have some specific recipe maybe we could help but for the most part you would want specific recipes.

I assume you are using it to make non-keto, bread type recipes?
If so, look into Carbquick I have used it several times and it works pretty well, it uses Carbalose flour and not any nuts so they should be good to eat it


I'm not a doctor and that was not medical advice :)

Which is definitely fine sometimes, but it doesn't have to be a complicated recreation for every meal.

This has been my favorite thing to use during recreations. I've made pancakes, biscuits, pizza crusts and breaded chicken with this stuff. Would recommend (am recommending?),

I will not give you crap about pancake mix, because I totally have a box of pancake mix in my pantry right now. We like Kodiak Cakes...they taste a little whole wheat-y to me but the SO loves them!

We found these cookie skillets at our local grocery store for about $5...so a nice little cast iron skillet that is perfect for one egg and a pretty tasty cookie too.

Carbquik and Quest Multi-Purpose Powder both make keto baking amazing. Carbquik makes better biscuits, Quest makes better bread, have yet to try cookies/cakes/muffins.

Just FYI, you can now buy those Cheesy biscuits at Sam's and they are JUST as delicious. You can also get them here.

You're welcome!

I used this: https://www.amazon.com/Good-Dees-Pancake-Gluten-Almond/dp/B0764HZQ9L/ref=pd_ybh_a_59?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=BQSKQWQMJY4SQA9KWDT3

They came out pretty good. Sadly I don't have any low carb syrup but the savoriness from the bacon and sausage patties made it taste great!

I think it works pretty well, but I still swear by https://www.amazon.com/Cup4Cup-KTS-2519-Gluten-Free-Flour/dp/B0096MPAWQ. Still it's not a ready-made pie crust recipe.

Generally, I've found the best crusts have condensed milk powder in them. I'm not sure if the Pillsbury blend has it though.

I used Betty Crocker's recipe as a starting point. All I did was sub Carbquik for Bisquik and heavy whipping cream for milk.

Keto Sausage Cheese Balls

• 3 cups Original Bisquick™ Carbquik mix
  
• 1 pound uncooked bulk pork sausage
  
• 4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (16 ounces)
  
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
  
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crushed
  
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley or 1/2 teaspoon parsley flakes
  
  Instructions: Mix everything together well. Roll into balls about one inch in diameter. Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes. (I was able to mix, roll, and freeze them at home. I baked them at work in the toaster oven from frozen and they came out fine! They taste very much like the original recipe which I've had several times now.)
  
  Makes about 100. Betty says 102. I got 93.
  
  Nutritional Info per ball: 58 calories per ball. 5 g of fat. 4 g protein. 1 g net carb.
  
  Note: I had 13 on my plate. This was way too much. These are an indulgent treat. I usually bring these to parties and the like, but I was so excited to use the Carbquik which I got this week. I'm keeping the rest frozen for until I have guests over.

That one is original, but does everyone realize that you can buy Japanese kits that let you do this kind of thing yourself? These are toy kits that make edible candy that looks like teeny-tiny versions of various foods:

• Hamburgers with fries & soda
  
  
• Pizzas with soda
  
  
• Donuts, but different from the video and without the Krispy Kreme box
  
  
• Sushi bento box, including extremely realistic-looking fake salmon roe
  
  
• "Ice cream" cones, with the ice cream being made out of frosting
  
  
• Similarly, here's an eBay auction with 12 different kits. My wife did the bento kit with the panda-shaped "rice" ball on the bottom row, and she loved it.

What makes me happy is making and finishing a craft, their is something magical about making something with your own two hands with raw material.

I just made this for the first time today, and it's pretty good. I didn't blend the chia seeds and this was my first time eating any kind of chia: the consistency didn't bother me. Make it the night before in small plastic containers and just grab one to go with a spoon when you head out in the morning.
http://ketodietapp.com/Blog/post/2014/12/18/Chocolate-Chia-Pudding

I also often make these (with Carbquik) on Sundays, keep them in the fridge during the week and heat up 2-3 of them in the microwave (~30-45 seconds) while I'm making my coffee and then eat them off a napkin in the car on the way to work:

I haven't tried this yet but the reviews are pretty good. Let's you make a low carb versions of anything bisquick makes.

Just saw a miniature cast iron pan the size of a cookie from Nestle at a supermakret. It is a holiday novelty gift that contains 1 single pan and a small amount of mix to cook a single cookie. I almost picked one up. Two flavors. Peanut butter chip cookie and a dark chocolate cookie.

Found an amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Nestle-House-Chocolate-Cookie-Skillet/dp/B073ZM51HG

Also, since you mentioned biscuits, Carbquick makes a good biscuit. Usually add a bit of powdered sweetener, cream, egg, and tsp baking powder to enhance the drop biscuit recipe. Better than a mug bread if you want a biscuit. They freeze well, too.

I eat ground turkey with either sour cream or a little cheese like it's my job.


Edit- I'm on keto (kill me) and just made these. They are fucking amazing https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016YOCSIC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

What do you guys think of CarbQuik? I tried it for the first time last night and made chicken and waffles and had a serious mouth-gasm. I do realize it has basically no nutritional value and is just a sometimes treat, but I'm glad to have something new to add to the roster.

WalMart, Kroeger, HyVee, Amazon.com, http://www.amazon.com/Bisquick-Pancake-Baking-Gluten-Free-16-Ounce/dp/B004391DK0/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1374431787&sr=1-1&keywords=gluten+free+bisquick

Amazon's price is pretty good too.

Recipe

Swerve chocolate cake mix:
amazon link

Buttercream:
3.2 sticks of softened room temp butter
~1/4 cup heavy cream
~8 tbsp swerve confection sugar
~1 tbsp vanilla extract
~1 tbsp chai mix
I used approx measurements, tasted it as I went until desired sweetness and texture. There is probably a recipe somewhere but I was too lazy.

Using hand mixer, mix butter until velvety, add sugar, vanilla extract. Mix again until incorporated, add heavy cream, mix until thickened and then add chai mix to taste

Toast some shredded coconut on dry non stick pan and sprinkle on top

This stuff is surprisingly good, and is keto-friendly, so I'd imagine it's fine for slo-carb too: carbquik

Probably from a skillet cookie gift set. See these a lot during the holidays. Likely not manufactured by any of the well-known makers.

It looks like a skillet for making cookies. Something like this one. I don't think it is collectible, but I'd need to see the underside to be sure. I'd pass without that photo.

They don’t have protein gluten free ones. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01H2JGZRI/ref=mp_s_a_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1520904600&sr=8-4&keywords=paleo+pancake+and+waffle+mix&dpPl=1&dpID=51N1QGCwgsL&ref=plSrch

These are pretty high protein and gluten free. Not Kodiak but you can find them at some Costco’s

Do you have Bisquick in the UK? Bisquick is a biscuit/pancake mix in the US, and CarbQuick is a low-carb version of it. It is an excellent low-carb product! Here are some links for you. Maybe someone reading this in the UK can tell you if it is available there.

https://www.amazon.com/Carbquik-Baking-Mix-lb-box/dp/B005YVU6FY?th=1

http://www.tovaindustries.com/carbalose/page1.html

You know they sell the mix to make them yourself now? The day I saw them at the grocery store was probably the best day of my life.

https://www.amazon.com/Red-Lobster-Cheddar-Bay-Biscuit/dp/B00AWQRLIG

I'm not sure where you live, but in the US almond flour is becoming pretty available. Walmart/Kroger generally carry the 1lb bags and Sam's Club/Costco carry the 3lb+ bags (cheapest option for me).

Then of course comes the Amazon options that can be more expensive.

CarbQuik: https://www.amazon.com/Carbquik-Baking-Mix-lb-box/dp/B005YVU6FY?th=1

It's somewhat expensive, but I've gone through about 20 boxes in the last 3 years and they are my fav for days

I've had that mix but didn't enjoy it much. I like this a lot better https://amzn.com/B016YOCSIC but I scale back the butter to make it less like fudge like and add nuts.

I got Blanched Almond Flour, and I am very happy with it.

Get them on Amazon. $38.99 will buy you a 5 lb bag including shipping. That's less than $8/lb.


However, I made paleo pancakes using bananas, almond butter, and eggs once. It was fantastic and no almond flour required. Put some local honey on top as the syrup.

Breakfast: https://smile.amazon.com/Kodiak-Cakes-Chocolate-Flapjack-Waffle/dp/B01D4XD9HK/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1483922412&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=kodiak+dark+chocolate+protein+pancake+mix

Prepared with water. Each cake was made with 1/4 cup of mix and 1/2 tbsp of caramel chips

Lunch: http://www.lecremedelacrumb.com/baked-sweet-sour-cauliflower/

I ate the bread fresh out of the oven (because omg fresh hot bread), but for the rest of the week I'll have the pasta and bread for dinner together.

Helpful Kitchen Tools:

Baking sheet

Parchment paper or aluminum foil

Ingredients:

2 cups Carbquick

2 oz butter (diced)

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)

¼ tsp garlic powder

¼ to ½ tsp salt

¼ cup heavy cream

¼ cup water (add more if necessary)

1 small jalapeno (diced with seeds removed)

6 strips of cooked bacon (coarsely chopped)

Ingredients

1.5 lbs Shrimp (<1g net carbs)

3 eggs (1.5g net carbs) - beaten

1/2 cup coconut flakes (4g net carbs) - ground or chopped

1/2 cup Carbquik (3g net carbs)

Salt and pepper to taste

~ 3 cups canola oil for frying. Can use other oils of course.

Steps

Peel/devein the shrimp while leaving the tail on

Add salt and pepper to coconut flakes to taste.We used 1tb each but found out it could have used more salt and pepper.

Preheat oil to 375 degrees fahrenheit

Coat shrimp in carbquick, then eggs, then carbquick again

Fry shrimp for 1-1.5 mins depending on size of shrimp

Pull shrimp out and place on some paper towels til the outside feels crispy

Coat shrimp in eggs and then the coconut flakes

Fry for another 2-3 mins, again depending on the size of shrimp


Total was ~8.5 net carbs for the ingredients. We didn't use up all the carbquick and coconut flakes so the actual net carbs are going to be less. Cocktail sauce had way too much sugar so we used Siracha as a replacement (~1g carb/tbs). Enjoy!

First of all, your username gives me a chuckle whenever I see it. Its so random. I hope. Unless you have panties made of pizza....

I really, really want low carb baking mix so I can finally try pancakes, muffins, etc again. I've been trying to eat low carb and I miss all the things!!

Thank you for the contest!

I bought the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix from the grocery store, and made them. I took my time and was careful. They were perfect. It was like I was there, but I technically didn't have to wear pants to eat them at the same time.

You can find Carbquick on Amazon. Pretty decently priced and there are a couple different sizes available. Haven't tried it yet personally.

I'd agree with other posters that repeat meals make life on keto a lot easier. Here's an example of a day for me:

<-- 11am: Chai tea w/ heavy whipping cream, equal sweetener OR decaf coffee from fresh beans, w/ heavy whipping cream, equal sweetener. (Sub almond milk if calories are a concern)

11am - 2pm: Leftovers OR 1 egg, 4 slices bacon, strawberries. If lifting that day, also 1 isopure protein shake w/ almond milk.

2pm - 5pm: ham, nuts, and mustard, rolled up in a slice of swiss cheese x2 (these little wraps are SO GOOD! I throw in some pickles or cornichones if I've got 'em).

5pm --> ground turkey chili with greek yoghurt or sour cream, thai red curry soup, taco bowls over lettuce, FAT HEAD PIZZA, and now, keto biscuits and gravy are my go to's for easy, quick meals.

Dessert: berries with whipped cream, or low carb ice cream with a dollop of peanut butter.

---------

I aim for dinners that are easy, low clean-up, cheap, and which make enough leftovers for at least two more meals, then I eat those leftovers for lunch as mentioned above. I'm in maintenance currently, but when cutting I eat at 1200kcal, so my meals also need to be lower in calories (hence intermittent fasting).

well first of all, the cook/love of food in me must share this handy thing that I've had bookmarked for various reasons

and if you don't like cooking, theres always this

I 100% recommend checking out Birch Benders Paleo Pancake mix. They definitely have a different taste and texture from wheat pancakes, but they aren't terrible. Hopefully they're something that works for you.

Coconut flour is way different. It needs more liquid, more eggs, and tastes a lot like coconut.

Shop on Amazon and have almond flour shipped to your house.

My suggestion was going to be IF with skipping breakfast since you have issues.

There is a product called Carbquic that people seem to like. Might be able to include pancakes in your breakfast everyday if it fits your macros. http://amzn.com/B005YVU6FY

My favorite CAH: getting my friend's Mom to say "What gets better with age? Buccaki" and then watch her googling it with a look of horror. She's 67!

Cheddar Biscuits

Have your macros and eat waffles too!

SERIOUSLY YES.

Yep. I also use Carbquik sometimes to thicken sauces and gravy.

Well, there is this, http://www.amazon.com/Red-Lobster-Cheddar-Bay-Biscuit/dp/B00AWQRLIG

it's a brand name! I think they were great, but my mom (not keto) thought they were horrible haha

You can actually order Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix from Amazon. I'm assuming that it won't be near as warm and soft and flaky as the real thing, but it might be the closest you'll get.

You can make low-carb biscuits with CarbQuik for breakfast foods (I use it for biscuits and gravy).

KNOW Foods makes a bread mix, which is 2-3g net carbs per 1/2" slice. I've used this for sandwiches and just cut the slices really thin (like 1/8"-1/4").

I'll also second the idea of a cabbage leaf - a bit sturdier and more flavorful than something like iceberg lettuce.

I have fooled many people with this crust. It is just as good as any regular pizza crust in my opinion:

Not egg dominant but decent protein:

Kodiak Cakes + Egg whites instead of water. You can mix in some milk as well/protein powder. This will also make them thicker/fluffier.

Keto is low carb, however you achieve that low carb is up to you. Almond flour and protein powder is for cookie dough, quest bars for if I get hungry during school.

Right, but there is a difference between cauliflower pizza crust and a frankenfood version.

Also, at the end of the day - this way of eating has restrictions. Trying to dance around it by eating starches that just inject fiber into everything to trick your macros might make it difficult to stay in ketosis.

But again, it is a matter of opinion. For example, I adopted the "fuck the foods that made me fat" approach and rejected anything that even resembled a "cheat food." But others like to experiment. If they are able to make cakes, breads, etc while staying in ketosis - more power to them.
