That's great, Tweaker. I'm so happy you're at goal. Yeah, I can relate to that 5 or 10 lbs more off of me. I'll take either. I'm not picky.
![]() Brenda, I saw a pic of you on FB with your sons? Wow, you look great! |

Made the Asian Coleslaw today (Vol 1, pg 227)- SOO easy and yummy. Put all the ingredients for the dressing in a jar and shook it up. Did add the cayenne pepper and a squeeze of lime juice. Also added some chopped peanuts to the finished product. Whole thing took about 5 minutes!
I think the Asian dressing would be a great chicken marinade or dipping sauce, too. |

Let us know if you find it Brenda, I just picked up 5 bags of cranberries yesterday. Last year I forgot to get some to put in the freezer for the rest of the year. Love cranberry relish made with AS, I use swerve to serve with poultry.

Tilly, I bought SF white chocolate.. We have a store here that sells Wilburs Chocolate wafers and I chopped them up and added them.. I didnt do too many as they were made with mailtol. I have thought about trying to make them,, but have not done so yet.

I received Vol 1 & 2 as Christmas gifts and I am very excited to try some recipes. Reading your feedback in this thread is helping me to decide which ones to do first! Thanks.

Yum!! Love your version of the cranberry cookies, Brenda!
Kepro, thanks for your support of Low-Carbing Among Friends. Let me see if I can find a pic of the cookies. Here you go: CHOCOLATE CHIP CRANBERRY COOKIES I love the cinnamon in this cookie. It is a substantial, crunchy cookie with a different flavor and the cranberries give it a distinctive, festive accent. 2 cups Gluten-Free Bake Mix* (500 mL) 1 tsp cinnamon (5 mL) 1 tsp baking soda (5 mL) 1/4 tsp baking powder (1 mL) 1 large egg 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) butter, softened (175 mL) Liquid sucralose to equal 1 cup (250 mL) SPLENDA® Granular 1/4 cup granulated erythritol (60 mL) 1 tsp vanilla extract (5 mL) 1 1/2 cups sugar-free chocolate chips (375 mL) 1/2 cup dried, sugar-free cranberries, OR raisins (use half the amount) (125 mL) Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In medium bowl, combine Gluten-Free Bake Mix 1, cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder. Stir to mix well. In food processor with metal blade, process egg. Add butter, sucralose, OR SPLENDA® Granular, erythritol and vanilla extract; process. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and process about 1 minute. Stir in chocolate chips and sugar-free cranberries, OR raisins. Using heaping tablespoonfuls, place dough on greased cookie sheet. Flatten dough with back of spoon. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until turning brown. Allow to cool 5 minutes. Transfer to freezer or refrigerator. Helpful Hints: *If you cannot tolerate xanthan gum – leave it out and read the instructions for cookies under Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2, page___. If desired increase the dried, sugar-free cranberries to 1 cup (250 mL) and reduce the chocolate chips accordingly for a chewier cookie.

I made the Low-Carb Pancakes on pg 284, cooked them in my waffle iron. These are REALLY yummy, and the carb count is good. Served mine with real butter and Nature's Hollow Sugar Free Maple syrup ( made with xylitol), recommended by Maria Emmerich. Even the DH really enjoyed these too. A nice change from bacon and eggs.

LOL Brenda!! You are funny! Glad you are enjoying the cookies.
The pancakes sound great. Don't share with a doggie due to the xylitol. Can be deadly for dogs. |

PECAN BANANA BREAD
PECAN BANANA BREAD..LC GLUTEN FREE AND SUGAR FREE
The original recipe by Jennifer Eloff in Volume 1 of Low Carbing Among Friends, page 61., Banana Walnut Bread,was a little carby for me with the inclusion of two bananas. Also I am a fan of pecans rather than walnuts. My tweak came out very good. Nice crumb, no crack in the top and very moist. DH gave it a 10... The nuts are changed around and sour cream is added. PECAN BANANA BREAD LC, GLUTEN FREE AND SUGAR FREE 1/2 c. soft butter 1 very ripe (black skin) med. banana 1 c. sugar sub. I use 1/2 granulated erythritol,1/2 gran. Splenda 2 eggs 4 oz. sour cream 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1.5 tsp. of banana extract (Banana Creme by LorannGourmet) 2 c. Jen's Gluten Free Bake Mix. Volume 1 Page 71 2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt 3/4 cup pecan halves. Everything is going into the food processor. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 8x4x3" loaf pan In processor: 1 banana 1/2 c. soft butter 1 c. of sugar substitute 2 eggs 4 oz. sour cream vanilla and banana extracts Process until smooth Add: 2 c. bake mix 3/4 c. nuts 2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt Process at least one minute. Pour into prepared loaf pan **My variation. Cover batter with pecan halves Bake 50 minutes to an hour. Test at 45-50 min. When knife comes clean remove to rack and let cool at least 15 minutes. I let it sit for 30 min. Flipped it over and it was perfect.

Chocolate Kahlua Cream pg 266 - help with Sugar Sub.
The recipe calls for 2 tsp powdered Xylitol. What is that equal too for 'sugar'? If I was to use NuNaturals Stevia or Splenda etc?
I really want to make this but I don't have anymore Xylitol. Thanks |

I baked Ginny Larsen's Cinnamon Struesel Cake into minicakes using a whoopie pie pan. I am quite pleased with how they turned out. I added 1/2 cup pecans to the topping so they may look slightly different.
The recipe made six minicakes, and I baked for 15 minutes at 375 degrees. |

Yummy, Barbo. Thanks for trying my recipe and for tweaking it to make it more Barbo-friendly.
MsBones - I think it is a one-to-one equivalent - i.e. 2 tsp sugar. TBipp, those mini cakes look lovely! |

I only made a little tweak!!! I subbed out the green peppers for onions. I don't do green peppers, and I LIKE onion. Served with extra salsa, sour cream, and lettuce "salad". Didn't have any raw onion that was good for serving with it. (what I had was ok for cooking, but too strong to serve,,, or at least I was afraid it was.... That and I was running late, and I also kinda forgot. ![]() )

VOL-3 UPDATE: COIL-Bound books are all now on the way to anyone who pre-ordered. Perfect bound ones (easier to produce) went out last week. The USPS says it takes 7-12 days, we hope it's less. They are shipped from TAMPA, FL - I'd say this next week, just a guess
This shipping from the printers in Florida is slow. We are looking into making coil bound cookbooks available through Amazon. |

Was on Amazon buying toys for my cat and went ahead and ordered Vol 3. This will be my first Low Carbing Among Friends cookbook. But then I came back to this thread and read about the Taco Bake. Lol.... Now I want that book for that recipe!
