I got mine at Walmart, over by the spaghetti sauces. They have the traditional basil pesto too - the brand was Classico... really good.

Oh..thanks for giving me the location. I was thinking it would be where they have the organic and specialty things. I am going to try it...

Man, all these burgers have me drooling!!

How many carbs are all these pestos and additives adding to the recipe.

Wouldn't someone on induction have to watch that??

Thanks for sharing all your tweaks everyone!!

I think the problem may be that you initially cooked the crust too long. For the first baking process, I only baked the crust for about 20 minutes or so in a 300 degree oven and took it out and let it cool (stuck it in the fridge for approx. 10 minutes) while I sliced up my toppings. Then I added the sauce, cheese and toppings and stuck it back in the oven, this time increasing the oven temperature to 400 degrees and further baking the pizza for another 25-30 minutes - until the cheese started bubbling.

As an aside: everyone's burgers look delicious!

Looks like Oopsiemania is running wild!!! LOL

Just a thought..................................

For those who want to make the oopsie cake since the pudding is too high in carbs for some and the flavors in jello may be limited why not use flavored extracts ie.. Vanilla, Coconut, Almond, Banana etc... or use unsweetened Cocoa powder or a little peanutbutter ans make a chocolate buttercream frosting.

I haven't made any yet as sweets are my weakness and I know I will eat the at least half a cake. Just want to throw those suggestions out there.

Actually I did want a sweet dessert the other day, so I took a little peanut butter and mixed it with the spray whip cream to make a very light, peanut butter "mousse". I then spread this on a regular oopsie and rolled up the oopsie. I then spread the peanut butter mixture on top of the oopsie and then sprayed with whip cream. It was like a mini log cake and so very good!!!!

I only used about 1 t. of pb - which in only about 1 carb. Because I get 10 oopsies out of my 3 egg batter - my oopsies are only like 0.5 carbs each. So, for about 1.5 carbs - that was a very nice little dessert. I did this because I know the sugar free pudding carb counts can really add up.

Yeah LindaSue, it sure was! Double meat bacon cheddar cheeseburger w/low carb ketchup, SF mayo and some dill pickles you can't see. And the bun held up beautifully! Only one napkin for me, but I was pretty light on the condiments really. I just took the camera angle that showed them the best - forgot about the pickles tho.

H20, I used somebody else crust directions but I don't think it was too long. If anything I think it coulda gone even longer to be honest. That MAY have been part of the problem. It was nicely browned when I pulled it out to top it. I dunno... I'll maybe try it again with a smaller pizza pan and see what happens. If I go smaller I'll just make a couple piles of batter for rolls so the pizza won't be too thick. I just hate to try it again because mine was such a flop.

NoSugar, the pestos are definitely are going to add carbs so not induction friendly. 1/4 cup of the sun dried tomato is a serving and has 8 grams. I only added 1 level tablespoon of it to my yolks, but some people add more. 1/4 cup of the traditional basil has 6 grams. On induction you should probably stick with the basic rolls I would think. '72 induction doesn't even allow cream cheese!

Marymc,
Thank you for answering me.
That is really not too bad than for extra carbs.

All these variations sound delish!

I can't remember what I paid but it did seem expensive too. I have no idea what they sell for elsewhere, but I am a Prime member (TRANSLATE: Amazon junkie) so I didn't have to pay shipping. I didn't care anyway. I WANTED THEM LOL... And it was soooo worth it psychologically and all cuz I think I'm eatin' a real burger when I use the rolls cooked in the muffin top pan. I woulda paid $20 for one pan for that feeling!

I posted this in the sticky, but figured why not here as well..


I made French Dips tonight... The rolls held up beautifully! I took pictures with my cell, and sent them to my email, but so far they haven't shown up.. If they turnd out decent, I'll post them...

OK, they showed up.. It's nothing all that impressive, but I want to post pics too...







You may not be able to tell, but this is after dipping.. It held up!
