INDUCTION FOOD PORN!!!

[cleochatra]

Remember-- almond flour is not allowed on induction

This thread is in an induction forum, so when you publish a recipe, let's not confuse new atkineers by promising them nut flours.

I actually hoped Walgreens had coconut but they didn't. wanted to stay out of the grocery store today. They are good as is, really. And something easy without too many ingredients.

I think Linda Sue has it on her site with all the counts.

I have a few of these variations on my blog, and others are in the recipe forum, as well.

Also, Charski has a variation called cheesy buns, that act as a sandwich holder (for lack of a better description).

That's on my blog and on the recipe forum as well!

Carry on.

Hi there, nice to meet you! I'll have to check out your bog. I have yet to try one of Linda's recipes, I pass her link around, but I will in the future even if it means just getting an idea.

Yes, I said after induction when I posted it. They came out so good with so little carbs I want others to have the recipe. Guess it could go in the recipe room.

I found the recipe for the buns on your blog, thank you! Made oopsies and I'm not partial to them, they look great, but totally lack flavor no matter how many times I make them. Now for cake, pancakes, or something like that I like it better.

[cleochatra]

Today we had this... Mexican spaghetti squash bake.

[goodinlife]

Looks great! You'll have to post it tomorrow on the Examiner. I love Mexican flavors!

Here you go, it was a page back...

Heres the pizza - add whatever toppings you want



Thin and Crispy Pizza Crust

Heat oven to 450 degrees
In a bowl thoroughly combine
3 eggs
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp basil

press evenly into Pam sprayed pizza pan or cookie sheet
(this makes one 16 inch pizza crust)

Bake at 450 degrees until golden brown (about 10 to 15 minutes)

Add pizza sauce ( I buy the lowest carb kind), toppings, broil until done

--------------------------------------

Here's the quiche, you can tweak this too...
6 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated cheese (I used cheddar)
salt and pepper

Then I added some stuff
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
sauteed onion, with musrooms,
a handful of frozen spinach
a handful of diced ham or crumbled bacon
about 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Preheat oven to 350F and butter your baking dish. Beat eggs, cream salt, pepper, garlic powder together in a large bowl. Add cheeses. In a large skillet, saute veggies and ham until the veggies are thawed and everything is warmed through. Add to egg mixture. Pour in prepared baking dish and bake for 40 min. or until set and nicely browned.

Usually a recipe follows the picture, scroll back a few pages, I made a delish chicken and spinache dish last night. This entire thread if full of recipes and neat ideas.

I personally want to, but I have not found the cheese at my grocery store. Due to cost, I don't go to the others.

Maybe one day.

[mac24312]

Walmart around here carries it but it VERY expensive..(In the cheese in the Mexican section)I got some in my fridge I am not using so I just might make it next week...

HUGS

[wishbone]

I just had the BEST skillet dinner.
8 oz. of chicken pan fried in butter and some seasoning, added
8 large shrimp cocktail and covered it with
1/2 c parmesan cheese, when it was close to melted added
2T crumbled bacon on top

MAN!! Maybe I was just super hungry but it sure hit the spot!!!

Wow. Really? It's all over the place here. Have you checked with the store manager? Other names you can look for are Queso Blanco, or Queso DeFrier.

How expensive is very expensive? I don't find it any higher priced than the other cheeses.

[mac24312]

Mine is 3.70 for 10 oz...so i guess that is not bad...Just seems like it these days..

Do you mean the fried cheese? Queso Blanca? If thats what you mean, yes. I bought Queso Blanco in Walmart at the mexican cheeses. The first time I tried to make cheese sticks but the cheese didnt melt well before my breading (parmesan cheese and egg) got brown. The second time I sliced it up and fried it. I like mozzerella cheese sticks better, or zucchini sticks, I posted a page or two back with pictures...with ranch dressing, yum!

Thrills me that you love it!!!! Let me know if you need any tips!


Eggs plus Cheese equals PIZZA!!!! WHO KNEW!? Search recipes or pizza on my blog for variations!

[Jenni]

I think the queso fresco isnt too badly priced at walmart...$4 for a block that makes about 12- quarter inch thick slices. I just made some yesterday and i will say it is absolutely imperative to use a nonstick surface for cooking. I almost always use stainless or cast iron--i am anti nonstick. I have tried it in both of those--extremely coconut oiled up and preheated and everything and it was a messy failure. The nonstick griddle works perfectly though.

[Greer'sGal]

Actually, I was asking if anyone made the Queso homemade with milk like one poster said they were going to try..... I had gotten some a long time ago at BJ's Wholesale (like Costco) and fried it up - it's DELISH! I just thought it might be fun to try to make it, but I wanted to see if it was as easy as it sounded.... (I'm a chicken)..

NancyElle I've tried your recipe for the pizza crust and I love it. It's so easy to prepare and the best part is that my DH loves it.
Thanks

oh, well I know this from years back from Home Economics class, making your own cheese is not that easy and if you ruin it you throw your money away. I think it's cheaper to just buy a block.

I've done the homemand cheese route and it is easy.

all you need to do is heat a cup of milk to 185 degrees F then add
1/3 tablespoon of cider vinegar, any kind some folk like to use white vinegar cause they like the taste better but you could use any type vinegar you want just remeber the taste will change as the vinegar changes.
stir it in and turenoff the heat and let it sit about 10-15 min.
at this point you should see solid curds and greenish whey liquid.

that liquid is not the same as whey protein powder so don't think you can use it on induction in some recipe it is full of milk carbs too.

strain the stuff through a cheese cloth and but a heavey object on top to press out the remaining liquids.

when no more drips you got queso fresco cheese

you should refidgerate any left overs.

I will say I do not like queso fresco and prefer aged cheeses.


I make all recipes small first time just to see if I like it and how easy it is to do. you can go all the way up to a gallon and use slightly less then 1/3 cup of cidervinegar. use whole milk so you have the fat there.

[Greer'sGal]

Thanks for resizing the recipe for me, 2big! I can try the 1 cp of milk instead of wasting a whole gallon if I hate it. YOU ROCK!

To clarify, the amount of vinegar is 1/3 TABLESPOON???? Isn't that equal to 1 teaspoon?

[i.am.jenn]

This is my Super Awesome Salad before I put the chicken and salad dressing in it. It WAS pretty... stupid flash washing the color out of everything... it's a great camera for outdoor pictures but indoors... ugh! The salad dressing is a super yummy creamy cilantro dressing that I found... mmmm... but tastes better cold than hot.



This is my Homemade Guacamole... sooo good. And I am eating it with celery sticks unless I go into town to buy zuchinni to try to make the "Dorito's" that Cleo came up with... of course it would be quicker to fry up a cheese tostado... (I'll do ANYTHING to not leave the house today... sooo lazy... ) Watch serving size on this b/c only 1/2 an avocada a day is allowed on Induction and this batch was made with 3 whole ones.



And of course THIS is Mels Cheatos that I just made. Very good. Very addictive. I like some spice (I'm Texan and I my Tex Mex... what can I say???) so I sprayed the tops with pam and sprinkled some cajun spice on it... OMG! Soooo good. I wish I have some Dorito's cheese or cool ranch sprinkles to put on top... mmmmmmmmmmmm....



Hope you enjoy!

[cleochatra]

Looks great, Jenn!

I love seeing what you guys are making!

I have a Jell-o Jigglers-style treat made with herbal fruit tea and knox instead of jell-o.

[2big4mysize]

ooooh Cleo thAT LOOKS GREAT!!!
