Super simple easy way to trick your brain (and family!) into thinking they are eating whole eggs instead of just egg whites!

I was making this recipe, but it failed miserably due to gone bad flax. Instead, I made peanut butter brownie batter. https://www.castleinthemountains.com/keto-pecan-pie-smoothie-recipe/

So here's what I did: One small to medium sweet potato, cooked (I steamed mine) 1 large tbsp. 0% fat Greek yogurt 1/2 tsp cinnamon A pinch of nutmeg A pinch of salt 1-2 tsp on plan maple syrup 3-4 tbsp. almond milk Whip together with food processor or hand mixer until silky and smooth. For sauce: 1/4 cup defatted peanut flour (I was out of flour, so I used 2tsp peanut butter) 3-4 tbsp. almond milk 1/2 tsp Gentle Sweet Mix sauce until a nice, saucy consistency - add more almond milk if necessary. Top sweet potato with a few slices of banana and drizzle with peanut butter sauce. Add a tsp of whole oats, crushed nuts or on plan granola for some crunch. (If you use peanut butter, leave out nuts to avoid going over 5 grams of fat in your E)

-2 Slices of E bread of choice (I use Pepperidge Farms Sprouted Whole Wheat in this video) -Either a LCC or a tablespoon of whipped cream cheese (just stay below 5 grams of fat) -5-6 diced jarred jalapeno slices diced small (you can use fresh if you want) -1 TBS on plan jam of choice -Turkey breast slices -1/3 cup egg whites -1 tsp baking blend -1/2 tsp baking powder Mix cream cheese and jalapenos and spread on one slice of bread. Spread jam on other slice of bread. Add turkey and assemble sandwich. Mix egg whites, baking blend and baking powder. Dip both sides of assembled sandwich in egg mix. Grill until crispy.

Easy peasy... Low carb tortilla Sauce: 2 tsp cream cheese with 1 tsp mayo, a splash of cream and seasonings of choice (I used garlic and onion powder and creole seasoning) Spread over sauce Top with: 2 scrambled eggs Crumbled bacon or sausage or ham Spinach Cheese of choice Any other toppings you might like Air fry on 400 for 5-6 minutes or until crisp.

Seriously, these are the best pancakes I’ve ever eaten. Make a batch of fluffy white banana pancakes from trim Healthy Table, page 339. Top them with a few banana slices strawberry slices, a sprinkle of coconut some Greek yogurt, a tiny sprinkle of crushed nuts, and drizzle Handy chocolate syrup from trim healthy cookbook on top. Try not to die when you eat them because they are that good.

Rice: 1 bag cauliflower rice (I used one with mushrooms and asparagus in the mix) 1/4 cup broth 1 cup seasoning blend 1 small can of mushrooms (use fresh if you’d prefer) 3 cups cooked brown rice 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks 2 TBS Braggs Aminos (use soy sauce if you prefer) 1 tsp crushed garlic 2 cups cooked/cleaned shrimp (use chicken breast is allergic to shrimp) 1/2 egg whites Use large skillet. Sauté seasoning mix in a bit of cooking spray. Add riced cauliflower and broth and cook until tender and liquid is gone (7-8 minutes). Add everything else except eggs whites and fry for a few minutes. Move rice to side of pan and egg egg whites. Scramble and when cooked, mix with rice. I like to fry mine long enough that the bottom gets a bit crispy. Then mix and it’s done. Top with sweet and sour sauce. Sweet and Sour sauce: 9 TBS tomato sauce 2 TBS ACV 5 TBS super sweet 1 tsp blackstrap molasses 1 cup fresh pineapple Blend together until smooth. Simmer small saucepan until it reduces a bit. Maybe 3-4 minutes. Drizzle over rice.

Cooked up some orange and pineapple ‘foster style’ and had it with one of auntie pearls muffins. I put in way too much cayenne and my mouth is still burning!

E version: 3/4 cup 0% fat Greek yogurt 1/4 cup 1% cottage cheese (replace with yogurt if you prefer but this adds a lot of creaminess) 1-2 tbs super sweet 1 medium frozen banana 1/2 cup almond milk 1 tsp greens powder or 1 cup spinach Blend until smooth. Should be thick. If it is too thin add some ice and a sprinkle of gluccie and blend some more. Spread in bowl and top with blueberries, strawberries, a sprinkle of unsweetened coconut and a sprinkle of chia. You could add some sliced banana pieces as well, but don’t over do it. S version: 3/4 cup 0% fat Greek yogurt 1/4 cup 1% cottage cheese (replace with yogurt if you prefer but this adds a lot of creaminess) 1-2 tbs super sweet 1 cup of frozen berries or a combo of multiple (keep blueberries to 1/2 cup or less in S) 1/2 cup almond milk 1 tsp greens powder or 1 cup spinach Blend until smooth. Should be thick. If it is too thin add some ice and a sprinkle of gluccie and blend some more. Spread in bowl and top with strawberries, raspberries, a few nuts, unsweetened coconut, a few chocolate chips, a tbs of PB and some chia.

This recipe is from My Montana Kitchen, but I added the jelly :-) link below. https://mymontanakitchen.com/peanut-butter-oatmeal/

I added spinach and extra sweetener (although adding the extra sweetener was a mistake 😳) Still yummy. Does taste like cookie dough. Not my most favorite shake of all time, but glad I tried it. https://eatyourselfskinny.wordpress.com/2014/06/24/cookie-dough-shake-thm-fp/

I love soda and and one of the most difficult things for me to give up on this journey. Last night I saw a black cherry soda in the store and I was dying to have it. I kept moving. Actually no I bought it for my husband I made him taste it. So when I woke up this morning I was still craving soda. So this is what I made. 2 tbs ACV 3 doonks stevia 1/4 tsp caramel extract 1/4 tsp cherry extract 1/2 tsp vanilla Pinch of salt 1/2 tsp MCT oil 24 ounces black cherry seltzer Mix and pour over ice.

Hurt our post surgical shoulders I guess!

Instant pot egg bites. Giving it a whirl and kind of making it up as I go. Probably the most trial and error recipe I’ve made!

Oh my word, this air fried pineapple is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Mix together a couple tablespoons of Supper Sweet or Pyure with a 1/2 tsp blackstrap molasses. Mix until brown sugar consistency. Cut pineapple into chunks or slices. Sprinkle brown “sugar” mix on each side. Air fry for 10-12 minutes in 390 or until Golden, sticky, juicy and THE BOMB.

Who doesn’t love biscuits and gravy? Linked below is the recipe for the biscuits. For the gravy I just cooked up sausage, in any amount you want, add some xanthan gum. It doesn’t take much just a little sprinkle over your sausage. Add some heavy cream and some almond milk and cook until it’s nice and thick. I had a lot of pepper to mine. I cooked my biscuits in the air fryer for five minutes. They came out perfect. The only deviation from the recipe is I wisked my egg whites to soft peaks before adding to the mix. https://mymontanakitchen.com/low-carb-biscuits-thm-friendly-gluten-free/

My favorite dessert. Gluccie Pudding. Slimming, filling, easy and delicious!
