I discovered a wonderful new way to use my Peggy’s Sliced Bread recipe! I took a piece of it this morning, sliced laterally into two thinner slices and filled it with a delicious thickened pineapple filling with a smear of cream cheese. Doused with cinnamon. Nuked it on defrost for 20 seconds and man, oh, [...]

Cream Cheese Tea Cakes
Posted in BREAKFAST FOODS, Cakes, Other Breakfast, Other Desserts, SWEETS on December 4, 2011 | 13 Comments »
This recipe evolved from an accident in preparing a recipe of CarolynF (on Low Carb Friends) for cream cheese sugar cookies. I changed up the flours quite a bit, doubled the cream cheese and molded them into little Christmas Tree- shaped tea cakes. They were WONDERFUL! They reminded me of my mother’s traditional cream cheese [...]

I had a half recipe of my “Flour” Pie Crust to use up and decided to put the filling to my mini Black Forest Cake to a totally new use this morning. Added some walnuts and baked it 20 minutes and voilà, a fun new dessert that features a delightful nutty, fruity filling. This recipe [...]

When I was in high school in Kansas, my best friend (also named Peggy) often had me over for dinner (we were neighbors on an Army post). Her mother was a former stage actress from Budapest who married an American Army officer during WWII. To say Mrs. Monaghan was a good cook would be a [...]
Strawberry German Pancake

When I opened the refrigerator this morning, two things called to me: a cut spaghetti squash half and a few remaining red strawberries in the carton. It immediately brought to mind two very old recipes: mock coconut pie I learned how to make doing Weight Watchers that uses spaghetti squash, and a German Pancake I [...]

Click pic to enlarge I absolutely love this stuff! It’s like having fruitcake but without all the cake! If you’re to the fruit rung of the OWL ladder, instead of dried cranberries, you could substitute dried peaches or apricots for a totally different flavor. Of course doing so will mean an increase in overall [...]

Jicama “Apple” Crisp

Click pic to enlarge This creation really tastes like classic apple crisp to me. The pork rinds surprised me, as they didn’t taste like pork rinds at all! But the brand I used “Mac’s”, that I found at my local Dollar Store, was really mild. The next time I baked this I used Baken-ets brand [...]

Click pic to enlarge I love this for dessert, breakfast or as a snack as well. It’s very filling and tastes a lot like baked apples to me. This is also good done with sliced, peeled chayote squash and you’ll find a recipe for that on Linda Genaw’s site: http://genaw.com/lowcarb/fried_apples.html. OK for Induction. INGREDIENTS: 3 [...]

INGREDIENTS: ½ spaghetti squash cooked (about 3 c. threads) ½ stick unsalted butter, melted (using less will lower calories shown below) 1 tsp. cinnamon ¼ c. granular Splenda (or equivalent sweetener) ½ [...]

I came up with this recipe not long ago late one night when I was craving baked apples. The good thing is you get in some veggie net carbs with this one, too! This tastes just like baked apples to me! And best of all, the rhubarb and cinnamon take away the squashy taste of [...]
