Low-Carbing Among Friends cookbook, what are the recipes you've tried? - Page 12

nekkidfish · 02-02-2012, 11:12 AM

Okay, I know I always ask for too much!

What would be cool is if somebody could put all of the comments on a compiled spreadsheet, so we can just print it out at will and see what has been said about which recipe ... without scrolling through all of the pages here.

And now, I'll go back to work and shaddup.

HUGz! Jules

Jennifer Eloff · 02-02-2012, 12:11 PM

Haha - can we nominate you, Jules.

I really cant wait! And even better is it was free shipping and handling! I could just cry! lol

Jennifer Eloff · 02-03-2012, 07:22 AM

Sweepy, I am so happy for you!!

You have a nice hubby.

Yes, a LIKE button on LCF's! That would be cool. I can relate. I've just joined Facebook myself and I've "liked" quite a few things in my short time on there.

Jennifer Eloff · 02-03-2012, 08:04 AM

Dear Jules,

I posted the Cinnamon Raisin Bread recipe made in the microwave oven. Hope you see this. You asked me to put the link in this thread (you are subscribed to it - how does one do that!?

), so here it is:

Jiffy Cinnamon Raisin Bread (GF) with lots of pics

Thank you Jen!

As for subscribing ... when you start or reply to a thread ... scroll down and you will see the option to subscribe, and get instant emails whenever someone replies. I am so busy right now, and that's the only way I can follow threads and make sure I don't miss a post.

HUGz! Jules

Jennifer Eloff · 02-03-2012, 01:49 PM

Thanks, I never knew that and I've been here for years and years on LCF's. I never was a very observant sort.

crazywoman-n-wy · 02-03-2012, 02:07 PM

Jenifer, (usually, but it may not be a default) when you reply to a thread, it automatically subscribes you to it. (You may have to have click in your settings for that. ??)
But came in to let you know that you can check to see what you are subscribed to by clicking on the Quick Links in the tool bar, then clicking on subscribed threads.

I'm not very observant either. I found this out from someone else on here some time back.

Tweaker Geek · 02-06-2012, 07:19 AM

I'm addicted to this book!! I keep it right beside by "TV watching" chair and find myself glancing through it every night - gives me so many ideas of things to make, which may not be a good thing since I'm really trying to take off a few pounds that have crept(?) back on and all I've been doing lately is baking - gotta stop that!

PaminKY · 02-06-2012, 08:44 AM

I made the maple nut blondies (Page 266) again last night for our Superbowl dessert. This time I added 20 drops of liquid splenda and 1/8 tsp white stevia powder, 1/3 cup chopped up dark chocolate bar and 1/4 chopped walnuts. This time I only added 1/4 tsp glucomannan because I couldn't remember what I used before. They were delicious, just right on the sweetness.

I could tell a little difference in the texture, these were a tad bit crumblier than the first batch so next time I will go back to the 1/2 tsp gluc.

I will have to add this one to my to-bake list!

SCOTTSDALEJULIE · 02-09-2012, 10:29 AM

I'm going to make theose lemon bars today if it kills me. Julie

buttoni · 02-09-2012, 12:28 PM

I cooked up a half batch of Barbo's "Potato" Latkes made with grated chayote squash (mirliton) this week and they were delicious, Barb! Reminded me of the potato cakes I've made for many years! Guess I should say I used the Carbquick mentioned here on one of your forum posts, rather than the gluten-free mix stated in the book. I would have never dreamed fried chayote could taste like fried potato. But I would have never dreamed they would taste like apples, either, Linda Sue.

Simply amazing!

SCOTTSDALEJULIE · 02-09-2012, 02:16 PM

I made the lemon bars. They are in the fridge. I'll post back tomorrow. Julie And, I want to make those latkes. JUlie

buttoni · 02-10-2012, 07:36 AM

I made Kent's Low-Carb Scalloped "Potatoes" p. 307 last night. Flavor was SUPER! I really liked the cream cheese in this recipe. I did add 3 chopped green onions to mine though. I also waited to add the topping cheese 30 minutes into cooking to prevent overbrowning the cheese on top. I can't bake cheddar toppings more than 30 minutes without browning it too much in my oven.

Only thing that bothered me and hubs a bit was the jicama, though sliced wafer thin on a mandoline, was still too crunchy for us after 60 minutes of cooking. I'm either gonna have to try freezing the jicama first some here at LCF have said breaks that crunch down, or use rutabaga next time for a softer texture.

Jennifer Eloff · 02-10-2012, 08:24 AM

Peggy, I think rutabaga should work. I once had mashed rutabaga at a friend's house - it had a tiny bit of carrot cooked into it as well. Wow, that was good! I just can't imagine peeling those things though. I also love Barbo's latkes (and she knows about latkes!), plus the Scalloped potatoes made with chayote is so tasty - even tastier!

Peggy, Barbo's Spicy apples, page 73 are truly amazing - also made with chayotes. She grows them, so it is not a problem that they are expensive in the States. Very cheap here; 25 cents each sometimes. I'm sure one could try that recipe with zucchini perhaps. Barbo is a wonderful cook and a sweet, loyal friend.

Great, Pam. Glad you figured out the correct sweetness level for you.

Thank you, Pat. You are right (glad you liked it!) - it is so tasty - you can serve it to your guests.

Love that it is so quick and easy; right up my alley.

Maybe steaming the slices of jicama for a few minutes would work.

I absolutely LOVE rutabaga, but I think I would be put off by the sweet-slightly cabbagie taste in the finished dish.

Ya know...I have a couple of turnips in my fridge...I'm thinking that their more 'neutral' taste might work well in this dish, but can't say for sure until I try. So...it's snowy here and well...what the heck. Will report back later...

SCOTTSDALEJULIE · 02-10-2012, 10:15 AM

I made the lemon bars, and they were delish. Nex time, however, I will double the curd. They just wasn't much curd.
