This stuff sounds interesting but I'm not sure what I'd eat it with? Is it like a DIP or SAUCE or DRESSING or what???

Not really a sauce...but, you could add it to sauces. And...add Spread to above.

Oh, I really love it in Stuffed portobellos or in reg. shrooms. Or in stuffed chick or a dollop added on grilled fish. Toss mixed grns and add it as a salad dressing.

Optional: minced garlic and chopped pimientos
Fresh cracked black pepper

Preparation:
Combine Kalamata olives, capers, lemon juice, olive oil, anchovy paste, and pepper. Mix well. Refrigerate and use within two weeks.

It you are too lazy to chop up Kalamata olives just used a can of chopped black olives. I've done that before.
I always kept some small cans in my pantry.

I have all of those ingredients too! Probably cheaper than the stuff I bought in the jar too.

Patricia, mine came out fantastically! Thank you so much for posting. I've bookmarked it so that I can make time and time again. So easy and delicious.

Eggs Benedict:
Fried eggs (too lazy to mess with poaching), homemade hollandaise sauce, ham (Canadian bacon was ridiculously expensive) on top of tomatoes.

Plain ole sausage on the side

Cryssi, that sauce looks so yummy! May I ask for the recipe? TIA!

It was REALLY yummy! I used Sugarfree sheilas' pancake recipe

I was afraid it would taste like scrambled eggs with cream cheese but the cinnamon really makes it taste like pancakes. And I hate cinnamon! But I love it now. I'll probably have this every day. LOL (at 6 carbs) or not hahaha

I used egg rings to make the pancake round perfectly and an ice cream scooper so I could divide the batter equally. I got 3 mini pancakes out of 1 recipe. So good!

Had it on cucumber slices with a little triple cream brie. I will choose the cream cheese next time, though, as the brie was a little too mild and got lost in the overall flavor.

Going to try today with some chicharones!

The hollandaise is from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. The red and white checkered one.

4 egg yolks
1/3 cup room temp butter, divided
3-4 TBSP lemon juice (I usually only end up using 2 to 2.5 tbsp)
dash salt
dash white pepper (I always use black because it's what we have)

(direction paraphrased)
In a double boiler whisk yolks and 1/3 of butter till melted. Add remaining butter in 1/3 at a time, melting between each one. Whisk for about a minute or so, remove from heat and add lemon juice 1 TBSP at a time. Return to double boiler and whisk 2-3 minutes or until thickened.

I personally don't use a double boiler as I have made this a billion times so I have gotten pretty good at managing it over the heat itself and just pulling it every now and then as needed.

It can be a pain the butt and I curdled it many times in the beginning but once you get the hang of it, it's easy and really yummy

I tried Hollandaise sauce this morning the first time. It broke apart and became inedible.

I tried making poached eggs this morning as well. It looked like egg drop soup.

That happened to me more times than I can count when I first started making it. You will get it, it just takes practice

I make these from time to time and mine never look like that.
Yours actually look like pancakes. Mine just look like a pancake that fell apart.

There goes the yummy tomato again. I am obsessed with it.
It looks so good.

I love all of Linda Sue's recipes, but a lot of them call for large quantities of cheese, and cheese doesn't always sit well with me. I love cheese though. Sucks.

It's just some stuff my DH threw together. But I estimated the ingredients to see the carb count.

Beef Shank Stew

2 lbs beef shank, remove connective tissue around
3 C string beans/green beans, we used fresh
2 C celery
5 cloves garlic
2 onions
1.5 C cauliflower
1 C broccoli
5 medium tomatoes
150 g tomato paste

Cook it the way you cook stew. I read online to cook beef shank for 8 hours to get it tender but we must've lucked out 'cause we only cooked it for 1.5 hours and the meat was so tender it melts in your mouth. Also the carb count IS a little high so maybe work with the vegetable ratio that works for you. We basically just used up all the veggies that needed to be used in the fridge.

LC_Monkey, I used egg rings

to make them uniform in size and an ice cream scooper to divide the batter evenly. I also let them brown more to get that nice color. I'm very happy with how they turned out. Making more tomorrow LOVE pancakes!
