2 stalks green onion, chopped
2 kosher baby dill pickles, chopped
1 Tbsp mustard
1 cup mayonnaise (or more for moisture/flavor)
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper

Chop eggs and add them to the dish (if you’d like to prepare the dish as pictured, add only four of the eggs to the salad and slice other four eggs open along the length and place round-side down in the bowl). Refrigerate until serving. Add paprika before serving if desired. Keep covered in the refrigerator.

Barbeque sauce

Ingredients

1/2 cup ketchup (Heinz reduced sugar)
2 tablespoons brown sugar (erythritol)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 dash hot pepper sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, hot pepper sauce, garlic powder, mustard powder, and salt. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before brushing on your favorite meat.

Beef short ribs


Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Arrange the short ribs in a 13 by 9-inch baking dish and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the sauce over ribs and toss well, coating all the pieces. Cover with aluminum foil and roast until cooked through and tender, about 3 hours. Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking to brown the top. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.


Captain's Coleslaw

Serves: 4

Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup milk (calorie countdown)
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/4 cup sugar (Splenda)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (16-ounce) package cabbage coleslaw mix (see Options)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients except coleslaw mix; mix until smooth and creamy.

2. Add coleslaw mix and toss until well coated. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

I baked this in a 9x13 pan for garlic bread. Brushed the tops with melted butter, sprinkle with garlic powder and toast one side, flip over brush with butter and more garlic powder and toast.

Almond Butter Bread

1 cup almond butter
3 eggs
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 packet stevia (optional)

Blend almond butter and eggs until smooth. Add in remaining ingredients. Pour into a sprayed 8 1/2" by 4 1/2" loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Let cool before slicing. Can also be baked in muffin tins for slider buns.

Happy 4th everyone!!!!

Gina, when I go to buy short ribs (never bought them before) about how much do I buy? These look so good! Going to make your coleslaw recipe today.

[Tilly]

Finally made these. Mine are not as pretty as the pictures, but boy they smell just like a yeast roll and the texture is just right. Now on to trying your other recipes with this mix, loaf of bread and pizza crust!

[Tilly]

Not sure how this post ended up on this thread. I tried 3 times to put it on to a yeast hamburger thread, sorry.

I have posted pics before but can't seem to figure out how to now. I click on the envelope with the mountains and can't browse the computer for the pics. I also see people attaching thumbnails, how do you do that?

[Ginaaaaaa]

I posted the recipe for the chicken pizza crust above because I know "google is my friend" haha Remember in the movie Scarface Al Pacino says "say hello to my little friend" I say that all the time now when someone asks me a question..then I refer them to google.

Me and my daughter do this all the time, we'll be talking and one of us will ask a question and then we say, "that's what google's for!!"

ALMOND BUTTER COOKIES

INGREDIENTS:

2 c. almond flour
½ c. coconut flour
1 T. oat fiber
1 tsp. glucomannan powder (konjac powder)
1/8 tsp. salt
½ tsp. baking soda
½ c. grapeseed oil (or softened butter, if you prefer)
2 T. almond butter
1 T. vanilla extract
½ c. granular Splenda
1 T. erythritol
1 egg, beaten

DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350º. Measure out dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Beat in the egg and vanilla. In a saucer, blend the almond butter and oil as best you can blend them. Add to batter and stir well to form a smooth dough. Roll into 1″ balls and place them onto parchment lined baking sheet. Leave 1″ space between cookies. Press balls down slightly flat and pop pan into preheated oven. Top with chopped, sliced almonds if desired, but this really doesn’t impact flavor, just the look. Bake for about 7 minutes. Do not overbrown these cookies or texture will be drier and less chewy. Remove from oven and cool on the pan a few minutes before removing with a spatula. These are delicate while hot but “firm up” nicely when they cool. Store in an airtight container.
