Maybe I could just put the tomato sauce and parm cheese and bake it without the breading/frying...?

Instead of pork rinds or almond flour, bread it with: PARMESAN CHEESE AND OREGANO OM NOM NOM!

Chicken and Veggie Eggbake

My kid's school was out today, so that we could celebrate the solemnity of President's Day as a family. Like everyone does. As a result, I had the chance to make a nice lunch, and my son requested something with Brussels sprouts in it.

Brussels sprouts.

Yeah. I know. We immediately took him to the hospital for extensive blood testing that confirmed he is not possessed by a parasitic alien entity. He came up clean. Spiritual possession is not completely ruled out, but the doctor in the ER kind of poo-pooed the idea. It could be some time before we find an exorcist, as we live in the boonies, so in the meantime, I just busted out with the Brussels sprouts.

Chicken and Veggie Eggbake

1. Assemble your ingredients:

3 pre-cooked chicken breasts
3 green onions
1/2 cup chopped bacon
6 Brussels sprouts
10 eggs
3 Tbsp heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheddah
2 Tbsp bacon grease for frying
salt and pepper to taste

2. Cube the chicken.

3. Slice the Brussels sprouts, and chop the green onion (only use the green part). The bacon was already chopped up.

4. Beat the eggs, with 3 tablespoons heavy cream, and the cheese. This may be a good opportunity to procure photographic evidence of the possession victim, helping you cook, which is something your HUMAN son would never think of.

5. Saute the onions and sliced Brussels sprouts in bacon grease, until the smarmy little cabbages start to get a little bit tender.

6. Add the chicken and bacon, and continue to saute until it the meats are heated through. Salt and pepper to taste.

7. Pour the chicken mixture into the bottom of a greased up casserole dish, then top it with the egg and cheese mixture. Stir it up a bit to incorporate.

8. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 400° until you can prick it with a fork and the fork comes out pretty clean. For me, that took about 25 minutes.

This came out surprisingly well, and I was surprised how much flavor the Brussels sprouts added. I'll probably make it, or something like it, again.

Thanks for the recipe Jake. Like your son, I love brussel sprouts!! Zx

EzraDuncan · 02-25-2009, 05:21 AM

Low-Carb Coconut Cheesecakes

16 oz. cream cheese (2 boxes)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
½ tsp. coconut extract
2 eggs
½ cup coconut milk
¾ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
12 packets Splenda

Crust:
½ cup almond flour
¾ cup ground nuts (pecans & macadamias)
3 Tbsp. melted butter
3 packets Splenda

Preheat oven to 350°F

Mix the coconut milk and shredded coconut in a bowl together first, so the coconut can hydrate. Let it sit for 1/2 hour.

Mix the almond flour, ground nuts, melted butter, and 3 packets of Splenda. Press the nut mix down into 12 muffin cups. Put the whole tray into the fridge to let the butter firm up.

Mix together the coconut, coconut milk, eggs, vanilla, cream cheese, and 12 packets of Splenda. Mix well.

Divide the cheese/coconut mix between the 12 muffin cups. They’ll fill up pretty much to the tops.

Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, until they’ve puffed way up and are getting golden brown on top.

Let the cups cool on the countertop for an hour (they will settle down in size), then put in the fridge for another hour.

Serves 12

Low-Carb Cookie Sandwiches

Cookies:
1 cup ground nuts (I threw a handful of macadamias and a handful of pecans into my food processor, then pulsed until they were finely done.)
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup Splenda (12 packets)
1 Tbsp tasty spices (I opted for 2 tsp. allspice and 1 tsp. cinnamon)
2 Tbsp butter, softened
2 eggs

Mix everything together, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Scoop out onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet; flatten the scoops with the bottom of a drinking glass.

Bake for 15-20 minutes at 325°.

Frosting/Filling:

4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened (1/2 stick)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup Splenda (8 packets)

Mix with a hand mixer. This is a basic cream cheese frosting. Any leftovers can be dropped in spoonfuls on a sheet of waxed paper and put into the freezer, for cream cheese clouds.

Makes 20 cookies or 10 cookie sandwiches.

Christina, thanks for the greeting! I usually hang out in the main lobby, and have always been more of a reader than a poster. But I'm also crazy obsessed with taking pictures of food.

So this was a perfect thread for me.

That recipe can be found on Cleo's blog which is here, along with a ton of other faboo recipes. You will not want to miss her blog. She no longer updates it, but what's there is really great.

She also has a cauliflower bread stick recipe there.

JazzleBug · 01-27-2010, 06:32 AM

Okay, just to share and to try to give this thread a jump start, I made Linda Sue's Spinach Lasagna last night. I used a whole onion instead of the original small amount, as well as 4 garlic cloves instead of the powder. And since I make my own spaghetti sauce, I added my own herbs and seasonings to some tomato sauce. It was absolutely to die for. Like, bang your head in a wall good.
