I've attempted the oppsie rolls 2 times the first they were large and thick bland didn't care for them. This time they were flat liked them better. I decided to use them like someone else mentioned like for bacon lettuce tomato. I added cheese, green pepper onion just a little bit. They were ok better then the not eating which is what I've been doing for breakfast. Also made the low carb milk enjoyed that. I really want to get use to eating low carb. It took me 20 years to learn to cook regular food just not a natural cook hopefully won't take me that long cooking low carb.

I am a big fan of the 'oopsie' roll. It can be changed up in many ways.

My daughter has been low carbing and cut wheat out of her diet as well, which is pretty good considering she works at a pizza place. She has been eating salads with meats and cheeses but misses pizza so today she made herself a crustless pizza and took a pic for me to see. It looked really good, and she suggested that I post her pic on this forum, so here it is.

She put sauce on the bottom then loaded it up with grilled mushroom, green pepper, onion, black olives, tomato, and broccoli.

[clackley]

Wow that looks fantastic! Might be my dinner tomorrow!

The recipe is on Linda Sue's site. Here is a link:

BIG MAC IN A BOWL - Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes

Just click on the thousand island sauce and you will pull up THAT recipe!

[Ginaaaaaa]

This is the one I use from Top Secret Recipes. My changes are in parenthesis. It tastes like the real thing.

Special Sauce

Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons French dressing (Walden Farms)
4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish (Mt. Olive no sugar added Sweet Relish)
1 tablespoon finely minced white onion
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar (Splenda)
1/8 teaspoon salt

1. Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Stir well.

2. Place sauce in a covered container and refrigerate for several hours, or overnight, so that the flavors blend. Stir the sauce a couple of times as it chills.

Makes about 3/4 cup.

I had a left over protein brownie from the other day and thought, what the heck I'll have it for breakfast!

I finally found the right mix of protein powders to keep my micro muffins moist but give them lift. I use 5g Pea Protein Isolate and 5g Whey Protein Concentrate (both unflavoured). I'm sure you could increase it to whatever amount you like, keeping the 50/50 ratio.

I was very happy with the way these brownies turned out. I made 2 batches of batter, 1 chocolate and 1 peanut butter (using peanut flour) and split them between 2 pyrex mixing bowls and swirled the batter to mix it up. Nuked for 3+ minutes each.

I put a little peanut flour peanut butter on them for good measure.


Recipe:

53 g Simply Egg Whites = equivalent of 1 large egg
1 tbsp Granulated Splenda or any sweetener/blend you'd like
3+ tbsp Water - enough to make a smooth batter
Half a dropper liquid vanilla stevia - you can omit
1 tsp Magic Baking Powder
5 g Pea Protein Isolate
5g Whey Protein Concentrate
3 tbsp Oat Fiber 500
1/4 tsp Konjac Glucomannan Powder
1/2 tsp Pure Madagascar Bourban Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp Watkins Chocolate Extract or Capella Drops - can be omitted but I like to add this to give it a deep chocolate flavour
1/8 tsp Salt
10g Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa = 2 tbsp

Microwave for 3+ minutes

^ Beautiful!!

Yaz, is the peanut flour used instead of the protein powders?

Oops, sorry should have clarified.

I made 1 batch of batter with 10 g of cocoa powder and another batch of batter with 15g of Peanut Flour, you could use PB2 if you wanted.

I used Protein powder in BOTH batter's.

I hadn't had pizza in what seemed like forever so someone on another thread suggested using an oopsie as the base worked well. I made a double oopsie and this was the result. It was a knife and fork affair but very tasty and satified my itch!!

[buttoni]

Mmmm. That looks good, Cathy. I haven't tried oopsies that way before!

[Yaz]

Made Buttoni's dumplings into pasta again. Man I'm in love with these.

I think based on how easy it is to work with the "dough" that it's possible to make lasagna sheets out of it.

I have cut back the BP to 1/2 tsp and added 1/2 tbsp of Lupin Flour to Buttoni's recipe. I also added some dried parsley and italian seasoning.

I simmered the noodles for 10 minutes and then tossed them in a pan that I'd fried onions, garlic, mushrooms and chicken in with ghee. Sauteed everything together for a few minutes and seasoned with some more garlic powder and cayenne.

[Ginaaaaaa]

That looks so good!!! Do you hand roll and cut it?

Great job and pics!!

[Yaz]

I roll it out on a silpat sheet. I cover it with saran wrap and use a rolling pin. Then I slice it with a pizza cutter. It doesn't stick at all and is really easy to peel off the silpat.

I think the lupin flour gives it a little more "body" and makes it a bit easier to handle. I think it would be very easy to make large sheets for lasagna. May have to try that on the weekend.

I do let the dough rest for about 10 minutes or so before rolling and again after cutting. I hang it over a wooden spoon to "dry" a bit.

[Ginaaaaaa]

Thanks for the directions! I'm out of Glucomannan right now but will be trying this after I get more.

I like using Saran Wrap to roll out doughs too, and using a pizza cutter is a great idea too!!

[buttoni]

OMG Yaz, those look amazing. And thanks for letting us see what lupin flour added did for this dough. I'm trying that next!

I made Maria's rolls and we had cheeseburgers last night. They held together great and taste like real rolls. I also made some onion strings by coating some onions in the BTF mix and deep fried them.

[Ginaaaaaa]

Cheesesteak aka loaded steak and cheese aka steak bomb with peppers, onions and mushrooms. It's been a while since I've had a real one on a sub roll but this fit the bill very nicely, and it went great with green bean fries. Neither are pretty to look at but made up for it in taste lol

I was craving nachos so I melted some cheddar cheese on a plate until it was crisp, cut it up and topped with salsa and sour cream. Yummy
