Panini Bread or anything bread!

I miss bread!  I have missed bread for awhile!  I have tried lots of low carb breads over the years and they all taste ick!  Finally, I have found a great bread recipe from Maria Emmerich!  At the end of the recipe Maria has a tutorial!

I can't tell you how much I love it.

Here is the recipe and some pictures!  And yes, that's a cheeseburger!!!!!

Pumpkin Time!!

I made these for the first time Friday evening and they are super yummy!!  I haven't done the icing yet, but warmed up with butter is perfect!!

The recipe is here.

Healthy Pizza Tutorial

Maria Emmerich gives a tutorial here on how to make a healthy pizza.  This is NOT P3 friendly because of the lavash, but it would be a keep for P4. 

I have several recipes for P3 friendly pizza that I will be posting soon.  Can't have too much pizza can you?  =P

Artichoke and Spinach Tart

This recipe is absolutely amazing and will be in Maria's new cookbook.  I couldn't find the link on her blog, so I am including the recipe here. 

Did I mention it's AMAZING!  I just pulled my second one out of the oven!!

1 1/2 cups almond flour
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
1 clove garlic (optional)
1 egg

Filing:

1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped organic spinach, thawed and drained
1 ½ cups artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1/8 tsp Celtic sea salt
1 clove garlic, minced
3/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
8 oz macarpone or cream cheese softened
2 eggs

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. For the tart shell, combine the flour, cheese, salt and garlic and mix well.

Add the egg and mix until the dough is well combined and stiff. Press pie crust into pie dish or tart pan. Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes, or until it starts to lightly brown.

Meanwhile, combine spinach, artichokes, salt, garlic, Parmesan Cheese, mascarpone and eggs. Pour mixture into prebaked tart shell. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan. Cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Makes 12 servings.

Crackin' Up!!!

I love crackers.  I love crackers because you can put cheese on them and I love cheese even more than crackers!  =P  This recipe comes from Maria and is definitely a staple for me.  I have made it my mission to find different cheese not only to go on the cracker, but in it.  I recently made them with Havardi Dill cheese from Trader Joes!  YUM! 

What makes this recipe so great, besides that it taste phenomenal, is how easy it is!

Ta Da!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have always loved sweets!  When I started living a low carb lifestyle almost two years ago I was a bit down about having to give them up for the most part.  OHHH, how naive I was.  There are so many innovations and resources now for the low carb way of eating!!

The first recipe I want to share is the Healthified Chocolate Chip cookies.  This recipe is from Maria Emmerich and you can find the actual post here.

These cookies ROCK!  I make them all the time and stick them in the freezer just because I like them like that.
