Mini Bagels

Ok. I made some mini "bagel" type things of course using marcea's glucc/parm roll method.

Ingredients:
4 eggs
1tbsp glucomannan powder
1tsp baking powder
1 scoop (1/3 cup) protein powder (I use vanilla syntrax nectar)

Mix eggs and baking powder well. Slowly add in glucc while mixing until dough forms "waves". Then add protein powder. I added a bit of water to thin it out until it was a little thinner than funnel cake batter. Spray mini bundt pans, bagel, or doughnut pans and barely cover the bottom all the way around. A couple teaspoons maybe. Bake for about 20 min.

I got 14 of them with 28 calories, 0.11g carbs, no fiber.



Covered in Walden Farms Raspberry Jam

Zucchini Bread Muffins

Ingredients:

3 servings syntrax (3 scoops vanilla syntrax protein powder)
4 servings flax meal(1/2 cup)
3 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large zucchini, grated
1/2 C chopped pecans
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3 tsp glucomannan powder
1/2 cup vanilla DaVincis (sugar free)
1/2 cup water (to thin out batter)

Crack the eggs in a bowl, and with a mixer, slowly add in 1/2 tsp of the glucomannan powder at a time, mix very well and the eggs should thicken up. Next add the vanilla, zucchini, pecans, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and DaVincis and mix well. Add the flax meal and protein powder and start mixing. The batter will be very dry at this point, and slowly add in the water while mixing to loosen it up until it is the consistency of regular cupcake batter.

Use an ice cream scoop to evenly distribute in muffin papers, should make 18, and bake for 30 minutes at *350 (check after 20 minutes because ovens vary.)

Cheesy Miracle Rice

Ingredients:
2 bags rinsed Miracle Rice
1/2 cup Ragu Double Cheese sauce
1 large egg
6tbsp grated parmesan cheese
3tbsp "I can't believe it's not butter" (yeah yeah I know, i haven't used this stuff in 3 years, but I'm trying to reduce calories for a bit)
2tsp yellow mustard
2tsp franks hot sauce
1tsp garlic powder
1tsp salt
1tsp pepper

Put the rinsed rice in a dry hot pan and let the liquid cook out. Add garlic powder to rice and mix well. While the rice is drying out, in a bowl mix cheese sauce, mustard, hot sauce, egg, salt & pepper, and half the parmesan cheese. I used a small loaf pan to bake it in. Add half the rice in the baking dish, then half the cheese, then the rest of the rice and rest of the cheese. Mix everything very well. Add the "i can't believe it's not butter" in dabs across the top, and cover with the remaining parmesan cheese. Bake @350* for about 20 minutes.

Makes 4 pretty good size servings@
136 calories/11.76g fat/2.74g carbs/.2g fiber/2.55g net carbs

Or if you are hungry and want to use it as a main dish, you could get 2 huge servings@
272 calories/23.52g fat/5.48g carbs/.4g fiber/5.1g net carbs

This was an experiment, so I think I could leave out the egg and "I can't believe it's not butter" and it would come out the same. Reducing the calories to 84 per 4 servings and the carbs to 2.65g.

Italian Shrimp Shiritake

Ingredients:
2 small bags prepared shiritake noodles
1tbsp butter
1tbsp grated parmesan cheese
6 Kalamata olives, sliced
1/2 portobello mushroom, diced
20 medium shrimp, peeled and deviened
2tbsp kraft light sour cream
1/2 medium tomato, diced
1tbsp chopped white onion
salt, pepper, and red chili flakes

Cook everything together except sour cream, and add sour cream at the end to make a sauce. Garnish with salt, pepper, and chili flakes.

Counts for whole recipe:
401 calories/21.5g fat/13.87g carbs/3.8g fiber/10.07g net carbs

I know that seems like a high carb count for one meal, but I had plenty to spare yesterday. You could omit the onion/tomato/sour cream and the carbs would be 7.46g total. I just added them because I had plenty to spare.

Fish Tacos

The ricotta shells are about 1/2 cup ricotta cheese and 4 eggs. Mix it all very well, I put a little garlic powder in them, and it makes about 8 shells. Don't grease the pan, put the batter in a very hot non stick pan and coat the bottom, like you would a crepe. Let it cook and get very brown so it doesn't tear when you try to flip it.

I would say it's about 2-3 tbsp of batter per "shell".

I used 1 Gortons garlic butter tilapia filet for both, a little shredded romaine (I didn't have cabbage), some sliced green onions, and the sirracha mayo (4tbsp light mayo, 1tbsp sirracha hot sauce for the base sauce, I didn't use that much obviously.)
