Netrition.com now carries Rosie's Gold Low Carb Taco Shells - at the recommendation of Chef Greg.

Thanks Tom,

Boy do I feel stupid

By the way Tom, will Netrition be getting the Chip's Chips 0 gram Cheese Thins back in anytime soon? I have been waiting for a while to place my order in hopes that they would be restocked.

Thanks,

I bought some of the Rosies Gold Taco shells and taste wise they are very good. However they do make my BGL go up even though I take insulin. I have eaten them twice now and got a rise both times.

On the other hand the CarbQuik biscuits did not cause a rise at all. That was a big surprise to me since most breads or anything made from any types of flours do. Just because it's labeled low carb doesn't mean it won't cause a problem for some people, so if you are diabetic I strongly suggest you test after eating breadie type foods to be on the safe side.

I've been eating carbquik 3 days in a row and gained a pound each day!!! What is going on???

Saturday- Brownies
Sunday- Chicken and Dumplings
Monday- 1 small slice spice cake and "impossible cheeseburger pie"

I've been on maintenance and never had problems like this before! I am going to stop eating it for a copule days and see if my weight goes downa gain.

I didn't see this one coming!!!

What are the carb counts? Did anyone figure them out? I saw 2g for 1 bisquit. But that doesnt' help when making something elso?

You previously said you could taste salt. Might be fluid retention?

YEA!!

In 2 days I've used 1 1/2 small boxes. Won't last long at this rate. Made the impossibly easy cheeseburger pie from bisquick's
website last night with CQ. It was good.

I also made the pound cake from CQ's website...and I think I may have just overbaked it a tad. It's dry...but I think I'll whip some cream and add some blueberries to have with it. The flavor is very good. My non low carb husband has liked everything I've made with it!

I haven't noticed a salty taste...but I've left the salt out of recipes since other people were mentioning too salty.

[HaleysNana]

The only time I've gained after eating anything with Carbquik was the pumpkin cookies with glycerin...which also caused extreme gastro distress for me (I'm weird....can't help it) so it wasn't the Carbquik that caused the gain.

[rrosser]

I made my order too and I can hardly wait for it to come. I went to a Bisquick site and got a bunch of recipes that I'm dying to try with the CarbQuick. These recipes sound sooo good I'm actually looking forward to Monday for a change. (That's when my order arrives!

[shaylabooboo]

I'm sure someone has already asked but I really don't want to have to read thru 20 some pages...

Approximately how much is in a small box? How many cups of mix is actually in the 16oz box?

Thanks so much!

There are about 4 cups of Carbquik in a 1 lb box. This will make quite a few meals for 1 or 2 people depending on what you make.

There are about 12 cups in a 3 lb box. This is great for a family or frequent cook.

TovaRep - Some of us posted this in another thread but did not get a response. Could you please let us know both the carb and calorie count for 1 cup of CarbQuik. The box lists counts for 1/3 of a cup and for 1 oz. Chef Greg mentioned once in the this thread that there are 4.4 oz in a cup but that makes the numbers not match. Thanks in advance for clearing this up for us.

Here we go again. The one ounce does not represent a 1/3 cup.
The one ounce represents the amount of the item used in the serving size. There are 12 net carbs per average cup. or 4.4 ounces.

Per the panel on the box.
1/3 cup
Calories 120 x 3 = 360
Net Carbs 4g x 3 = 12

Now if you look at the panel, it indicates a finished product of 1 ounce which required 20 grams of dry Carbquik to make. The product serving size does not indicate 1 ounce of dry product. When one establishes the serving size that is representative of the complete finished product. The other 8 grams in this product represents the liquid, in this case water. So you have 20 grams of mix and 8 grams of water for a finished net product weight of 1 ounce or 28 grams.

Chef Greg's book, A Complete Low Carb Lifestyle: An Executive Chef's Low Carb Lifestyle Culinary Guide, is now available at Netrition.com.

(This is not the Carbquik cookbook that he is planning to release.)

By Gregory Pryor C. E. C. ("The Low Carb Chef")

Chef Greg Pryor reveals the simple truths with his book, "A COMPLETE LOW CARB LIFESTYLE" with the same flair and lay in on the line approach that has shaped his career in the professional culinary field. Professionally trained with a degree in Culinary Arts, this Certified Executive Chef reveals to his readers the knowledge and guidance from many years as a professional Chef, having worked directly with the Atkins Group, applying his training, and creating Low Carb recipes and tips to the Atkins Group. Now Chef Greg shares these and many more recipes and tips to live a Low Carb Lifestyle for Life.

This is not just a cookbook. Nor is it simply a collection of recipes low in carbohydrates. What this book is, however, is a collection of knowledge, inspirations, guidance, and moral support that will be your key to a successful Low Carb Lifestyle. Contained within these pages is an exploration of the myths and facts associated with Low Carb Lifestyle, and the do's and don'ts for success. Because of the continued success and interest in the Low Carb Lifestyle, many culinary myths exist both in print and in idea. My purpose for writing this book is to share with you the knowledge and understanding of food, culinary use of and the classic applications of cooking rich, flavorful, satisfying, rewarding meals that are the key to a satisfying Low Carb Lifestyle.

Many arguments exist about what correct diet serves our lifestyle best. One fact for certain (in my humble opinion) is that the word diet is the first strike in the batting order. What we will be exploring in these pages is a Lifestyle, not a diet. My goal is to support and motivate those who have made a commitment to themselves and their loved ones to take back control of their lifestyle. As we can agree, the benefits of proper weight management may be the most important action that we can take control of ourselves. Today, more than ever before, weight control is the greater issue. My personal beliefs and experiences have proven to me that the simplest and easiest of all weight control changes we can make in our life is the control of carbohydrate intake in our daily diet.

"I am not a writer; I am a Chef that in 1994 recognized the many benefits of a Low Carb Lifestyle". "My biggest complaint was then and continues to be, the constant attempt by so many to re-create the wheel".

Thanks for the info. I already own his other book and it is great. I am just really anxious to get the 2 new ones as well.

Sorry it took so long to get the wonton skins for you, I had to play with this a while. But I have here what worked for me. This also doubles as a pasta recipe. This is a little vragile to work with at first, but after drying it becomes very easy. Here we break traditon with Carbquik, you need to sift the Carbquik for this recipe. The solids will disrupt the dough.

1 1/2 cups sifted carbquik
3 egg yolks
2 whole eggs
1 teaspoon corn starch.

In a food processor place the sifted Carbquik and corn starch. Add the egg yolks and whole eggs. Pulse food processor to mix the dough. Continue to pulse until the dough forms a ball around the blade.

Divide the dough into 4 balls and begin rolling the dough in all directions until the dough is very thin. Let this sit and dry about 30 minutes. Cut the dough into wonton size skins, or at his point you can also cut this into pasta noodles or sheets. Let the cut dough dry over night. Use as required.

SECOND POINT OF INTEREST; I WAS INFORMED TODAY THAT TOVA HAS MADE SOME SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS TO CARBQUIK, FURTHER REDUCING THE NET CARBS. I WILL LET TOVAREP PROVIDE THE DETAILS, BUT IT IS VERY EXCITING.

THIRD; AS FOR MY OTHER BOOKS. I AM ABOUT 2 WEEKS AWAY FROM FINISHING THE CARBQUIK BOOK. I HOPE TO HAVE IT IN PRINT BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS. AS FOR MY NEXT LOWCARB BOOK, I EXPECT IT IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR.

I need some help here. Tonight I made a Impossible Chocolate Cream Pie. When I took it out of the oven it was lovely and about 2" high. After cooling the darn thing fell to less than half an inch! I was so disappointed when I saw it.

Here's the recipe I used. Maybe some of you good bakers can tell me where I went wrong.

Impossible Chocolate Cream Pie

2 eggs
1C. milk (I used Hoods)
1/4 c. margarine or butter, softened
2 sq. (1 oz. ea.) melted unsweetened chocolate (cooled)
1 c. Splenda
1/2 c. CarbQuik

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease pie plate, 9x1 1/4". Place all ingredients in blender. Cover and blend on high 1 minute. Pour into plate. Bake until no indentation remains when touched lightly in center, about 30 minutes. Cool completely. Top with sweetened whipped cream if desired.

[lynnp]

On the new, lower net carb count for carbquik, is that true for the currently available 3 lb boxes or for future releases of the product? (If you know.)
