There is no reason to give up breaded meat, or great desserts if you use you blender to grind the bread crumbs or various nuts that can easily replace an unhealthy graham cracker pie crust, or you use ground nuts in place of unhealthy white flour. Typical bread crumbs are 20 carbs per 1/4 cup, compared to 10 carbs per 1/4 cup of homemade crumbs. If you prefer seasoned bread crumbs, you can add some Italian Seasoning for added taste.

1 small cauliflower
Boil cauliflower, strain, and while the cauliflower is cooking fry or use your microwave to make the chopped onion tender in the butter, then add all the ingredients and mash by hand until it is the consisetency of mashed potatoes. As all these flavors come together, this is a delicious and healthy low carb side dish.

No need for unhealthy high carb potatoes when you can easily replace them with mashed cauliflower. See recipe above. Cooked or stewed tomatoes are one of the healthiest things to eat. Remember, the darker the color of the vegetable, the healthier they are. If you are just dying for potatoes, eat 3 or 4 little red ones as they do not have as much starch in them as the bigger ones, and will satisfy the craving. They too can be mashed, fried, or eaten whole with a little butter, parsley, and seasoning. |

2 zucchini's cut in half and in strips. You can make how many you need to meet family requirements.
For a good side dish try cutting fresh zucchini into strips or even slices. Dip in eggs and then cover and turn over each piece to get a nice coating of Carbquik, soy flour, dried low carb bread crumbs, or smashed pork rinds, whatever you have available. Add some sea salt and pepper and cover and fry until coating is nicely browned and zucchini is tender.

5 pounds cooked pork, and shredded
This is a temendous dinner for large picnics for parties or to do what I did. I just baked the meat and sauce in a 350 degree oven to merge the tastes and once cooled, seperately bagged individaul servings and froze. Because this is so low carb you can serve on a 100% whole grain bun, or on low carb bread. When you are hungry and don't feel like cooking, just take from the freezer and put in the microwave for a fast meal.

Some people do not care to eat breakfast, but at a minimum at least enjoy a container of yogurt mixed with 2 tbsp. of milled flaxseed and a few berries. Both the yogurt and flaxseed keep your bowel system working to its best, and the Carbmaster brand of yogurt only has 4 carbs. I often eat this combination just for a late night treat or a dessert. |

1/2 head of cabbage, sliced
This is a wonderful and very healthy side dish. Cabbage has so much fiber in it that it helps the body from absorbing the carbs coming from other foods you may be serving it with. Just add a little oil, mix in the veggies, add a little water and don't be scared of too much good garlic and Italian Seasoning. If you don't care for Italian Seasoning, another suggestion would be to use dill instead.

1 can of salmon
I used two pieces of low carb bread in this recipe. By soaking them in water, I was able to mix them thoroughly with the other ingredients and then just fried in a little Cannola oil, covered, until browned and cooked fully. Since there really is hardly any carbs to speak of, the 12 carbs in the two pieces of bread only equates to 2 carbs per pattie.

1 1/2# hamburger, ground turkey, or ground chuck
Heat oven to 350" and line 10" x 13" baking pan with foil. Mix hamburger, egg, onion, and seasoning and make into meatballs. Lay in baking dish and add all vegetables and can of soup and about 1/2 can water and a little more seasoning. Cover with another piece of foil and bake until meatballs are cooked through and tender. Since the canned mixed veggies are only 7 carbs for the entire recipe and everything else is so low carb, you can get that little bit of extra taste. You can get 6 servings from this recipe. I just used a little fried cabbage that I had frozen for a side dish instead of a salad. Sugar level was at 121 two hours after eating.

Passover cannot be Passover if not for Matza, so it takes a lot of cooking and coming up with new ideas to make Matza a little more diabetic friendly since each sheet is 28 carbs. Here are a few ideas. Try eating just a half Matza and adding a really low or no carb side dish.
Pizza
French Matza
Cinnamon Matza

This is a dinner with a lot of taste. The combination of roast with gravy is delicious with a side of sweet and sour red cabbage and 1/4 steamed Acorn squash with butter and a little Splenda brown sugar. Perfect meal for a diabetic. |

Left over roast or any meat you want
This is an extremely low carb dinner that both looks and tastes wonderful. Because it is so low carb, a nice dessert can be added to top it off. With this meal, I enjoyed a nice lemon and poppy seed muffin made with Carquik, but could have been made with almond flour just as easily. One muffin is 4 carbs because I used 1/4 cup Splenda more then the recipe called for. Personally, I think they are so good by themselves that I chose not to frost them, but you could easily do so by using the cream cheese icing found lower down on the page and just add a little lemon juice or Lemon Crystal Lite. You could also add a little of yellow food coloring to give them a deeper yellow tone.

1 small box of Instant Vanilla Sugar Free Pudding
Mix Pudding, Crystal Lite, and coconut milk, and then add half of the strawberries into pudding mixture with spoon. Use remaining strawberries to top the pie. Chill in refrigerator and add a dollop of Whipped Cream. If using Dixie pie crust, bake and let cool completely before adding the filling. You can easily use ground almonds or walnuts to replace graham crackers for a nut crust. 6 pieces from a 9" pie pan is 9.5 carbs each.
|
![]() |
2 cups Carbquik
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray muffin pan for easy removal. Mix dry ingredients well and the beaten eggs, melted butter, and buttermilk mixture into the dry mixture. Mix well. I stirred everything by hand and then used my mixer to complete. Fill muffin cups a bit more than half way and bake for about 20 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Allow muffins to cool in pan for a few minutes and they will come out of the muffin pan easily. Let them cool and either add low carb icing (you can find recipes lower down on the page). I filled the four middle ones with my homemade low carb strawberry jam. (<8 carbs per frosted muffin). For other varieties you may want to sprinkle the top with a Splenda/cinnamon mix while they are still hot, or add some walnut pieces to the mixture.

3 slices thin cut beef
Heat oven to 375 degrees and line 8" x 13" baking pan with Reynolds Wrap. Add onion, meat, seasoning, and broth. Cover pan and ingredients with Reynolds Wrap and bake until meat is almost tender. Add broccoli and Penne Rigate, recover, and bake for another 25-30 minutes until pasta is tender. Dreamfield elbows has the same amount of carbs so you can replace it instead of using the Penne Rigate if you prefer (10 carbs per entire recipe). Total recipe is <20 carbs, and this recipe makes three nice size servings, or <7 carbs per serving, as seen in photo.
Since my dinner was so low carb, I decided to add a raspberry/coconut coffee mug cake for dessert. See recipe lower down on the page for the Coffee Mug Cake. In this one I substituted the lemon Crystal Lite with the raspberry, and instead of using almond flour I used 4 tbsp. of Carbquik, 2 tbsp. of coconut flakes, and one drop of coconut oil. I decreased the Splenda to three packets to allow for the sweetener in the Crystal Lite.

8 chicken thighs, 12 tenders or 6 breasts
Use a large baking pan and cover with Reynolds Wrap for easier cleanup. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. I could have easily put 8 thighs in one pan, but decided to use four so I could bake the other 4 with hot sauce. I baked them all in the same oven covering them with another piece of Reynolds Wrap to keep the steam in. Add all ingredients together and cook until meat is almost tender and add the frozen veggies. Cover until meat is real tender and then take off the top and let the oven brown the meat. With the hot thighs, I just did the same thing but covered them with the hot sauce instead. The entire recipe is 44.10 carbs, or <11.3 for four servings. Bottom pic is just an idea for left overs. Sweet and Sour Cabbage recipe is further down on the page.

1 pkg., 10 oz. sugar free vanilla pudding
Dixie Pie Crust only has 7 carbs per 9" pie crust. Follow instructions on Crust Mix and let cool.
Mix pudding, coconut milk, flavoring, and unsweetened coconut mixture with spoon and then mix the whipped topping into it. Fill cooled pie crust and put in refrigerator for a couple of hours. I just added a little bit more of the whipped topping that was left over before I enjoyed my piece of pie. 11.2 carbs per piece. You can get seven pieces from one pie. I used Chaokoh Coconut Milk in this recipe. For a double crusted pie using a sugar free canned cherry filling, it comes to 10 carbs, per piece. Dixie Diner Crust can be purchased through www.netrition.com and is $5.89 a box, or three crusts per box. It can be used for anything that needs a baked crust and is very tasty. This coconut pie would also be good in a nut crust. Just use nuts in place of graham crackers. You can find the recipe lower down on the page.

4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
Heat oven to 350 degrees and grease bottom and sides of 9x9x2" pan. I use cooking spray. Melt chocolate and butter on stove, stirring constantly, then let it cool a little and add the Splenda and set aside. Beat eggs and vanilla on high speed until it foams. Add chocolate mixture on low speed. Add Carbquik and nuts until blended and spread into pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes until top springs back and brownies start pulling away from sides of pan.
This recipe makes 16 brownies. 2 carbs each if unfrosted and 3 carbs if frosted. Today I just used chocolate sugar free frosting, but a homemade frosting is listed in recipes below. These are nice and moist.

I've coated my two pieces of fish with Carbquik, egg, and then Carbquik again, added some sea salt and fried until tender. If you do not have access to Carbquik, you definitely can use almond flour to do the same thing. I just used left over green beans made with butter, seasonings and some flaxseed, and a small bowl of the Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage (you can find the recipe below). With some Tarter Sauces for dipping, this is a very filling dinner, lots of flavor and extremely low carb. |

A wonderful filling lunchtime meal is chicken, turkey, tuna, egg salad or sliced turkey or ham on a Joseph's Flax, Oat Bran and Whole Wheat Pita Bread. I like to warm up my pita pocket in the microwave and then add my meat or salad topped with some cool crisp lettuce. Joseph's Pita Bread only has 60 calories and 4 carbs, per one whole pocket. Because the carb count is so low, I've added one of my blueberry muffins as a dessert. The recipe can be found lower down on the page and only has 1.5 carbs per muffin. Because these low carb pita pockets can only be found on the internet, I order mine from www.netrition.com. There are six pockets per pack, but I typically buy several packs at a time and freeze them for future use. These are great for Diabetics. |

1 med. head red cabbage or 1/2 head extra large cabbage
Add sliced cabbage in about one inch of water and cover until the tenderness you prefer. Drain out any excess water. Stir onions in oil until tender and scoop out onions and add them to the cabbage. In the oil, add brown sugar and flour and mix, then add in vinegar, seasonings, bacon bits, and water. Stir to mix thoroughly and then add the cabbage and onions back into the pan and continue to mix. This is a fantastic side dish for any meat. You can easily replace the cabbage with small pieces of chicken breast for a sweet and sour meat dish.

1 thinly sliced onion
Melt butter and add vegetables and mix until veggies are nicely covered. Cover pan and let slowly simmer until veggies have softened a bit. Add liquids and seasoning, and bring to a boil and continue to simmer until veggies are soft. Put mixture into a blender and add the cheese and blend until you get a nice creamy consistency. Diabetics: My sugar level was 131 about a half hour before I ate a nice size bowl of soup and two hours later it was 109, so had I been hungrier I could have had a nice salad or something else low carb with it.

1/2 shredded large cabbage
Slice and add ingredients to crock pot, and alternate layers with meatballs, starting with cabbage and onions on bottom and working upward. I like to liquefy one can of the tomatoes, but I also add the juice from the other can. In this recipe I had replaced one can of tomatoes with tomatoes that I had frozen, and just liquefied them first. Since I had a lot of tasty juice left over after cooking, I simply sliced the other half of the cabbage and froze in individual sized bags for future use.
If cabbage or certain other cooked vegetables gives you a bloated feeling and gas, add two tbsp. of flaxseed to each soup bowl. Eating flaxseed is the healthiest thing you can do for yourself, be it in cereal form, added to a salad, or mixed in other foods. 2 tbsp. of flaxseed will give you your daily recommended amount of fiber. Please read the article on the "Medical/Cooking Fact" page to see how and why flaxseed is so healthy, and look for other recipes made with flaxseed.

1 1/2 cups Carquick
Grease 12" pizza pan and heat oven to 450 degrees. Stir Carbquick, Italian Seasoning, and hot water and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead for 2 or 3 minutes until dough is easy to handle. Press dough in pan and top with pizza sauce, pepperoni, browned hamburger, peppers, or anything else you may like on your pizza. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Each piece is about 3 carbs with the toppings and you can get eight pieces from one pie. If you do not have Carbquick, there are other pizza recipes lower down on this page.

Once the meat browns and all juices are locked inside the breading, lower the heat and keep covered until meat is tender and thoroughly cooked. In the vegetables, very little Canola or Olive Oil is needed as the tomatoes will give off just enough juice to make the veggies tender, once covered and cooked to the texture you prefer. By adding a little dill, garlic, salt, papper, or Italian Seasoning, you can make a wonderful side dish with whatever veggies you happen to have in the house.

3/4 cup shredded cheese
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray baking pan with canola or olive oil or Pam. Brown hamburger, onion and garlic on stove top. When meat is browned, add cabbage, seasonings, and canned tomatoes (including juice)and mix everything together for a couple minutes. Pour into the sprayed baking pan and top with the shredded cheese. Bake for 25 minutes. Very low carb, filling, and tasty.

2 16 oz. containers of strawberries
Crush fruit and sugar and let stand 15 min. Add pectin, stir, and let sit for 5 min. I used my blender to crush my strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, ladle into jars leaving 1/2" on top. They will keep in the freezer for 1 year, or in the refrigerator for 3 weeks. By using the blender you can blend enough to either liquify them or make your jam with small bits of the strawberries left in it. Blackberries are great too. In winter you can use frozen fruit to make the jam. I also made five jars of frozen blueberries. You will need 36 ozs., or 3 - 12 oz. bags. Just leave the frozen ones out on a counter to thaw out. Also good on flaxseed bread, the coffee mug chocolate cake recipe below or as a topping for low carb ice cream, or mixed in with yogurt.

3 stocks of broccoli, cut into smaller pieces
You certainly can add some mini carrots to this soup if you choose to, or even a few chicken tenders. Add everything together and add enough of the broth to cover all ingredients. Cover and cook until broccoli is tender. I found by adding a can of Cream of Chicken soup it makes the soup much more substantial.

Fall and winter are almost on us, so here is a three meal recipe from one large and thick roast.
1 nice size thick roast
I put everything into my crock pot until the roast was really tender. First night I had sliced beef roast with a salad and some carrots and other side veggies.
Second night I used the broth, small pieces of the roast, left over carrots, onions, and added some broken Dreamfield spaghetti into noodle size pieces, along with some broccoli. By using a crock pot, the juice will turn out exceptionally good for soup. This makes a large bowl of soup, and you can easily get 5 or 6 individual soup bowls full.
Third night I used the remaining roast and added some Walton Farms Bar-b-que Sauce which has no carbs, and made a sandwich of hot beef on Whole Grain/Flaxseed bread, mustard, and a low carb dessert.

1 lb. hamburger
Mix onion, hamburger, flaxseed, seasonings and mix with 3 or 4 pieces of Kraft cheese sliced or about 1" thick bar cheese, and cut into small squares. I cut my peppers in half but you can take out the stem and use the whole pepper, and stuff with mixture. I tend to like stewed and diced tomatos, but if you prefer you can use a can of tomato soup or tomato sauce along with a can of stewed or diced tomatos. Put in a large bowl and microwave for 35 minutes. Because there is nothing else in the dish that has a significant amount of carbs, you can easily eat a piece of flax, low carb, or whole grain bread. I just added a cucumber salad with a few grape tomatos, bacon bits, and walnuts, with Ranch Dressing. I topped it off with a glass of Raspberry Chrystal Lite.
|
2 tbsp. milled flaxseed
Mix dry ingredients and add just enough hot water to make a cereal at the consistency of cream of wheat or oatmeal, or to your preference. Top with a little fat free half and half or whatever milk product you like.
|
![]() |
1/2 cup Carbquick
Heat oil (cannola or olive) in frying pan. Mix all ingredients until it is smooth and easy to spoon into pan. These cook rather quickly so make sure to turn them over. I included one with Splenda and 2 with my favorite sugar free jam for suggestions, but they are good just plain. Small thin pieces of apple can be added to the mixture. I typically make enough batter to last 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator.

There is nothing better then a cold salad on a hot summer day. Remember the darker and brighter the color of a vegetable, the healthier it is. This salad is a combination of red lettuce, pepper, tomato, cucumber, bacon bits, walnuts, and Ranch Dressing. The nice thing about a salad is that you can use or not use anything to your liking. For more fiber, you can also add 2 tbsp. of milled flaxseed. |
![]() |
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Combine all ingredients except for the nuts and mix with electric mixer. Chill for a minimum of 1/2 hour and roll into size of a walnut. Roll balls into crushed nuts (this photo shows the coarse almonds), and chill until served. I haven't tried it yet but I would believe that even the crunchy peanutbutter would be good.

![]() |
6 med. beaten eggs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray oil on parchment paper. Mix all dry ingredients and add eggs, oil, and water. Let mix rest for about 5 minutes. Spread approx. 1/2” thick and bake for about 20 minutes or until you can press down on top and it feels firm. Flaxseed has 2,400 miligrams of Omega-3, per serving, or two tablespoons. Flaxseed is all fiber so it is wonderful for your intestinal track. Adding a little sugar free raspberry jelly on a piece of this flat bread is a real treat. The photo is 1/2 of the recipe.

Bake chicken breasts, tenders, or ribs until almost done. Frozen meat works well if you cover your baking dish with Reynolds wrap to steam the meat).
1 small minced onion
Put all ingredients in pan and simmer for 30 minutes. Sauce will thicken a little as it cooks down. The nice thing about this recipe is there is enough to cover ribs and chicken. If you want it a little spicier, you can always add more Worchestershire or your favorite hot sauce, or to make sweeter, use more artificial honey or Brown Splenda. If you do not have bacon bits, fry 3 strips of bacon and use the drippings in place of the oil.

1 pound hamburger, lightly browned
Brown hambuger and add seasoning and water and cover until it cooks down. Spread on low carb tortilla (5 carbs) and top with cheese, salsa/and or hot sauce. Put in microwave just until cheese melts. Serve with a vegetable. Picture shows cucumbers in Balsam vinegar.
|

1 tomato cut up
This is a very low carb and perfect lunch/or dinner on a hot summer day. You can easily add a handful of walnuts, or chopped onion into the salad for a crunchier taste and more protein. Spluge by topping it off with one of the desserts listed on this page.
|

4 thick pork chops
Bake pork chops and other ingredients at 400 degrees until tender. Cover baking dish with Reynolds Wrap so meat will steam through. You can easily replace the pork chops with hamburger patties or chicen tenders.
Add a handful of walnuts (or almonds), your seasonings and butter to green beans for a little crunch and extra flavor.
Cut up a small to medium tomato and mix with Feta Cheese and Ranch Dressing. Season to taste. Entire meal is <18 carbs>

Olive oil for pan
Cook all ingredients, incuding the hotdogs in a covered pot. As the juices join together they will add a fantastic taste to your hotdogs.

Instead of going through the trouble of making and folding an omlet, let it spread out across the pan. I used 3 eggs, onions, chopped pepper, chopped ham pieces, chopped broccoli, and shredded cheese. Add seasoning to taste and mix all together in a bowl. By adding a lid to your pan, the egg/cheese will make a nice browned bottom, adding extra flavor. This will easily be enough for two people as it is extremely filling. Because it is so low carb, you can easily add a piece of low carb or true whole grain bread (6 carbs) to finish off the breakfast treat. |

To my diabetic readers, try alternating full meals with various salads for lunch or dinner. Often people associate lettuce for salads, but don't forget about egg salad, turkey or chicken salad, ham salad, tuna salad, macaroni salad (made with Dreamfield Pasta) using lettuce or other greens like raw spinich or cabbage for a base. Often if my last test is higher then what I want it to be, I'll turn to a salad for my next meal to even out the day.
Purple or green cabbage sliced
The brighter and darker the colored vegetable, the healthier. You can also put some egg slices or cauliflower (like I did) in or around the salad, or even break up a low carb tortilla or walnuts for some "crunch". Very low carb and very filling.

![]() |
1 pound hamburger
Brown hamburger slightly and add taco seasoning, 3/4 cup water and cover and let steam until sauce thickens and reduces. I made 3 tacos here for a total of 12 carbs for the shells, or 4 carbs each. Taco seasoning has 16 carbs per pkg and I used about 1/4 of recipe to fill tacos so that is a total carb count of 16. This recipe was made with the hard and formed white corn taco shells, but is also very good with the soft low carb tortillas, which have 5 carbs each, but since the soft shells are much bigger, I can only eat two at a time for a total carb count of 14 carbs. Because the hard shells are hard to find in my location, I order them from the internet and keep a good stock at the house. See the Taco Salad recipe further down the page.

Chicken tenders or breasts
Heat oven to 375 degrees. I used frozen chicken tenders in this recipe. I always put foil on the bottom of the baking pan to save on cleanup. Pour soup, water, and seasonings and bake until tender, covering with more Reynolds Wrap to steam the chicken. Cream of chicken soup only has 15 carbs for entire recipe.
Steam vegetables. This recipe has mini carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower. I covered them with some of the delicious gravy, and served with a bowl of sugar free jello with strawberries cut up in it, and topped with whipped cream. Easy, filling, and very low carb.

Just one of the fantastic recipes by Carbquik, 90% less carbs then Bisquick. I used a square baking pan but you can use a pie pan instead.
3/4 cup Splenda
Mix all ingredients in blender and pour into sprayed pan. Sprinkle a little Carbquick in the pan before pouring the mixture into it. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 min. The bottoms and side will turn a real tender tan color. Let cool.
Sour Cream Topping
1 cup sour cream
Hand mix and put on top of cheesecake or add strawberries or raspberries on top. 6.2 carbs per serving with sour cream topping. 8.3 carbs for sugar free cherry topping.
Alternative I used the same recipe but added 3 drops of coconut oil and 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut to the recipe, and and adding it to the sour cream topping with sprinkled coconut flakes. Midway of the baking, I put a piece of Reynolds wrap over it (about 10 minutes) so the coconut flakes would not get too brown. For a variation, I replaced the sour cream topping with the cherry one in a 9" pie pan and allowed 8 servings.

1/2 head sliced cabbage
Put a little olive or canola oil in pan and add sausage, vegetables, and spices. Add a small amount of water to create steam and cover until meat and veggies are done. After my vegetables were cooked, I let my sausage brown a little more. Extremely low carb so this can have a nice low carb dessert or low carb bread.

If you haven't tried Carbquick, it is the equivalent to Bisquick but has 90% less carbs. You can make anything from biscuits, pizza crust, cinnamom buns, brownies, pancakes, waffles, dumplings, and so much more. Biscuits have only 2 carbs.
These scrumceous cinnamon buns were made in a muffin tin and topped with butter, artificial brown sugar, and walnuts. I added more cinnamon to the batter itself, which makes them even better. Each bun only has 4 carbs.
You can purchase Carbquick online.

1 corned beef
I made the meal in a crock pot and added the oriental veggies for additional taste. I did use a handful of small red potatoes because the meal is so low carb. The bisquit was made from Carbquick and only has 2 carbs per bisquit.
For my diabetic readers, I took my blood level just before eating and again 2 hours after so you could see how much food you can eat and still be within a normal range.

1 small roast
Bake onions, roast, and seasoning, covered with Reynolds Wrap, in a 350 degree oven until meat is tender. Add mixed veggies the last half hour or so. Break Dreamfield Spaghetti into noodle size and boil until tender. Drain and add noodles, soup, and veggies into large bowl. You can break up the meat into smaller pieces and include in the soup, or use as another meal, which I do.

1 regular size pkg. of instant sugar free vanilla pudding
If you just want to make a pudding instead of a pie, use 2 cups of milk. Mix milk and pudding until it starts to thicken and add Crystal-Lite. You can use any flavor you want including lemon. Fold most of the whipped topping in the mixture and save a little to decorate top or use on another dessert.
1 cup ground almonds or walnuts Mix like you would a graham cracker crust and bake for about 4 or 5 minutes at 350 degrees, or just long enough to hold crust together. Cool, fill, and refrigerate until firm. Any sugar free pudding like chocolate or butterscotch can also be used for a pie filling, just use less milk to make it firmer so it is easier to cut. |

2 cups fine almond flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease Loaf pan or 8" x 8" baking pan. Bake 50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean and cake is a nice brownish color.
With mixer, beat Splenda and butter until smooth and add one egg at a time. Add almond flour, baking powder, vanilla and lemon flavoring or grated rhine, adding a little at a time.

There are two different ways to make the same recipe. By using finely ground almond flour you will get a cross between a pumpkin pie and cake. By using the coarse flour (which is shown in picture), it is a true cake only.
1 15 oz. can of pumpkin
Beat Splenda, pumpkin, vanilla, Pumpkin Pie Spice and Baking Powder. Add eggs and then the four. If you are using the coarse ground flour, add 1/4 cup water. Preheat oven to 300 degrees, spray 8" x 8" baking pan. Cut cake into 9 pieces or 7.1 carbs.
You can top cake with a low carb frosting or whipped cream.

2 cans beef broth
Cook for 2 or 3 hours until meat is tender. This is a tasty soup and very low carb, but very filling. Dreamfield Pasta only has 5 carbs per serving so 1/2 box is 15.7 for entire recipe for a large pot of soup. Because this is such a large recipe, remainder of soup can be frozen.
|

1 1/2 cups ground almonds
Beat butter till creamy and add almonds slowly, Splenda, Baking Powder, Cream of Tartar, egg and Vanilla and beat well. Cover and put in refrigerate for about 1 hour or more. Roll chilled mixture into walnut sized balls and then shake inside bag of Splenda and Cinnamon or roll them in a bowl or cup to cover each. Place about 2' apart on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes in preheated oven set for 350 degrees. I got 26 cookies and they are light and tasty. Next time I'll try them with ground walnuts. 1 1/2 carb per cookie, but bet you can't stop at one!!!

1 pound hamburger
Brown onions, peppers, and hamburger, add Fajita Seasoning and cover for it to cook down a bit. I spread my combo on a hot tortilla and added lettuce and tomato pieces and sprinkled it with hot sauce (no carbs). This was so good that I ate two and my sugar level was only 127 at the two hour point. Shredded cheese would be good on this too.

Since I experiment with food so much, I don't always measure things but you ladies know what I'm talking about. I just put almond flour (I would guess about 3/4 cup) into a small bowl, added one egg, a capful of cannola oil (about 1 tblsp.) and enough half and half to make a nice pancake batter. It made three nice size pancakes. You can use directions from any pancake recipe substituting the unhealthy white flour with almond flour. The almond flour doesn't bubble on the top like regular flour so you will have to watch when it browns on the bottom before turning over. I topped it off with butter and sugar free syrup. They are absolutely delicious. Almond flour only has 3 carbs per 1/4 cup, is very healthy, and does not spike sugar levels. For my diabetic readers, my sugar was at 128 two hours after eating three of them. |

6 tbsp. butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 8” x 8” pan (I use spray oil), beat butter and cream cheese, add melted chocolate and eggs and mix well and then add baking power, Splenda, and flour and mix before you add vanilla and nuts. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature prior to making. Bake for 30 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. No need for any milk in this recipe. Moist inside and not overly sweet. My sugar level was 128 two hours after eating a brownie and having a cup of coffee.

2 cups almond flour
Preheat oven to 350 and spray pan. Cream butter, Splenda and vanilla until fluffy. Add 1 egg at a time until mixed, add diced or shredded carrots, and dry ingredients. Bake for about 40 minutes. You can add a handful of walnut pieces for added flavor. Allow cake to cool.
Frosting
Mix 1 tsp. vanilla, 1 stick of soft butter (room temperature), 1 cup Splenda, and 1-8 oz. package of no fat cream cheese (room temperature). I decided to put some walnuts on top since I forgot to add them into the cake mixture.
NOTE TO DIABETICS: At 8:53 PM my sugar was 111. I ate a piece of cake at 9:15 PM and at 11:00, my sugar was exactly 111 again. Now I know I can eat two pieces!

The picture on the left is stuffed green peppers, and the picture on the right is stuffed cabbage soup.
Stuffed Peppers
1 lb. hamburger
Mix ingredients and stuff peppers. Make small meatballs out of remaining meat, pour liquid over and put in microwave for about 35 or 40 minutes until peppers are soft.
Stuffed Cabbage Soup
1/2 bag of shredded coleslaw (or cut your own cabbage) |

If you're tired of tuna salad, try making chicken, turkey, or egg salad and lay it on a bed of shredded cabbage instead of lettuce.
1 can white chunk chicken, or left over chicken/turkey or egg salad
One can of white chicken chunks has zero carbs.
Surround chicken salad with sliced cabbage instead of lettuce for a change, add a few pieces of tomato and chopped green pepper and drizzle your favorite dressing on it. I used Blue Cheese Dressing in this recipe.
Perfect for a lunchtime snack or on a real hot day when you are not in the mood to cook and want something cold.

1 large whole wheat low carb tortilla
Brown onion, pepper, sliced Philly Steak, and seasoning.
Lay 2 pieces of cheese on large tortilla shell and top with meat and veggies and put in microwave to melt cheese and warm shell. Serve with a side salad or cut cucumbers. <10 carbs.

In this recipe you can use hamburger, chicken, fish, or cubed steak. Simply dip into beaten egg and then into crushed almonds or crushed pork rind (the pork rind will take on the taste of whatever meat you are using).
Here I have steamed a combination of green beans, carrot slices, a little broccoli, and mushrooms. Add butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a little bit of Paprika.
Add a serving of cottage cheese and you have a delicious and filling, very low carb dinner.

1 package taco seasoning
Lighlty brown hamburger and add taco seasoning and 3/4 cup water, cover till sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Taco juice mixes great with the Ranch Dressing. Taco seasoning is 16 carbs. Since I only used about 1/4th of the meat in this salad that is 4 carbs, plus 4 carbs for the broken shell, and 2 carbs for Ranch Dressing.

One of my favorite lunch or dinner recipes is chicken tenders or chicken wings baked from a frozen state until tender in a 375 degree oven, and covered with Reynolds Wrap. I then add Louisiana chicken wing sauce, and cover until the sauce is almost dissolved into the meat. Great for dipping in Ranch Dressing. Hardly any carbs in this recipe, but strong on taste. |

A strict low carb program often is too low for a diabetic, so a couple pieces of 5 net low carb bread or 5 carb TRUE WHOLE GRAIN toast has been added for this breakfast. The above picture is of french toast made with 2 pieces of 5 carb bread, and 1 carb for sugar free syprup. I used eggbeater instead of eggs, giving me a total of 11 carbs. Often people wonder what I eat for breakfast: Any type of egg, sausage, bacon (both turkey and pork), Canadian bacon, or cut up hotdogs scrambled in eggs. Another good idea is a great omelet made with all kinds of vegetables such as peppers, onion, cauliflower, and broccoli. For added taste put some bacon bits in the omelet and cheese. I also make corned beef hash but instead of using potatoes in it, I use cut up summer squash, both yellow or green. For those who are going low carb to lose weight and have gotten to the maintenance part of the program, or are at the point of adding carbs, a piece of true whole grain or low carb bread is okay, as long as you watch your carbs at other meals during the day. At first while on the strict part of the diet, you can eat a piece of cheese instead of the toast. Pancakes made with Almond Flour or Carbquick, and topped with sugar free syrup is another alternative. |

4 or 5 chicken breasts
Bake covered in 350 oven until chicken is tender.
Make as you would any macaroni salad BUT use
Dreamfield Pastas. Facts: Dreamfields is 65% lower then other pastas on the Glycemic Index. It has twice the number of fiber then other brands, and has only 5 digestible carbs per serving. This picture shows approx. 1/2 serving of Penne Rigate salad. One serving is 1/2 cup dry pasta which expands about 3 times it size once cooked. Once you add your egg, vegetables, and grated cheese to the pasta, one serving is quite big. For diabetics, my blood sugar was 107, two hours after I ate this meal.

I've never understood why most people only eat turkey at Thanksgiving. It is so low carb and absolutely great for hot or cold turkey sandwiches, a great meat dish, and wonderful for turkey salad.
Chop one small onion
If you want a little crunch, add some walnuts to it. This turkey salad makes a wonderful lunch or dinner.

Make your regular meatballs (hamburger, seasoning, chopped onion) and brown in skillet. Add a package of frozen or fresh broccoli and cover with a can of Cream of Mushroom soup, 1/4 can water. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for about one hour. Cover with Reynolds Wrap while baking. Entire recipe has less then 25 carbs.
Meatballs can easily be replaced with hamburger patties, chicken, or pork chops. If you don't like broccoli, use frozen or fresh green beans or mixed vegetables. I personally tend to use a lot of frozen vegetables. If you use frozen meats bake a little longer if necessary to make sure the meat is tender.

1/4 cup coconut flour (sifted)
Blend liquids and eggs together and add dry ingredients mixing until there are no lumps. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and use muffin cups, and bake for 15 minutes. This recipe makes six shortcakes. Top with raspberries or strawberries and whipped cream. Actually these little cakes are good by themselves and certainly could be used with a low carb frosting.
FYI: 1/4 cup coconut flour only has 3 carbs which equates to 1/2 carb each shortcake. Less then <4 carbs in each serving, including the whipped cream and berries.

1 coffee mug
Mix all ingredients in a standard coffee mug. Put in microwave for three minutes. Once cooled, add some whipped cream and strawberries or raspberries on top for added pleasure. I have also deleted the cocoa and substituted it with 1/2 tsp. Lemon Crystal Lite and 1 tbsp. of Splenda. Picture shows some Walton Farm Sugar/Carb free Raspberry topping
Diabetics:
My sugar was 128 at 9:55. I ate the cake in the picture at 10:40 and two hours later my sugar was 129. Perfect night time in front of the T.V. snack, or great with a low carb dinner of meat and salad. No bowls to clean, and only 3 minutes in a microwave. How easy, but oh so good.

Two slices of cabbage
Lightly brown onion, pepper, tomato, and cabbage in olive oil. Add seasonings, and a few drops of water to steam cabbage, and cover until tender.
Steak and cabbage are high in protein, and cabbage is real high on the "healthy" food list.
See chocolate cake recipe above. Entire meal, including cake is <18 carbs.

1 can of Cream of Chicken Soup
Bake at 350 for an hour or so until chicken is tender. I cover my baking dish with Reynolds Wrap. Once chicken is tender, I take it out and just use a fork to cut it into bite sizes, but it can be cut prior to baking.
Instead of putting dumplings into this recipe, use 4 servings of Dreamfield elbow pasta. If you prefer actual dumplings, Carbquick can be used. <14 carbs>

Chicken breasts or strips
If you do not like mushroom soup, try one of the other creamed soups like Cream of Celery, chicken, or brocolli. Heat oven to 350. I used all frozen foods in this dish, including the chicken. Add veggies, cream soup, water, and seasoning to taste and stir. Lay chicken pieces on top and sprinkle with a little dill. Cover and bake for about 60 minutes or until chicken is tender. You can take cover off and broil to give the top a nice browning. 48 carbs for entire recipe. I used chopped broccoli stalks but you can actually use any low carb vegetables you have in the house.

Use the Blueberry Muffin recipe below but substitute the blueberries and sweetener and add one tub of Raspberry or Strawberry Crystal Light. This batch was made with Raspberry. If you just want a hint of raspberry flavor, use a half tub of Crystal Light.
If you want to frost them, add 3 carbs.
1 - 8 oz cream cheese
Whip cream cheese and then add cream and mix again. Add Splenda and pudding and mix well. Add additional heavy cream or Half and Half by teaspoon amounts if you want it thinner. This recipe makes enough frosting for 3 dozen muffins or cupcakes. It can be frozen or will last quite awhile in the refrigerator. For recipes where you may want chocolate frosting, use chocolate pudding instead.

2 cans cream of mushroom soup
Mix soup, water, pepperoni, and pizza sauce and heat. Put diced green pepper in a little water and put in microwave until soft and then add peppers to soup. As you bowl out the soup, add croutons and a handful of Mozarella and mix in. Put a little dab of Mozarella on top. This is a very quick soup to make and has 57 carbs for entire recipe or 14.5 carbs per bowl. Check carbs on crouton box as they can vary. The ones used here have 3 carbs for 7 croutons, per bowl. This is a very filling soup and is great with a small side salad.

1 8 oz package of shredded cheddar cheese
Heat oven to 350. Mix shredded cheese, chopped onion and olives and spoon out on tortilla and roll. Put 1/2 of enchilada sauce in pan and turn rolled and filled tortilla in sauce and lay with solid side up. This recipe makes six cheese enchiladas. Pour rest of sauce over top and add remainder of other ingredients and sprinkle over the top. Cover pan with Reynolds Wrap and bake about 15-20 minutes until cheese is nicely melted. This entire recipe is only 36 carbs, or 6 carbs per enchilada. Check carb content on enchilada sauces as they vary. The one I use only has 4.5 carbs per can. Picture of recipe did not contain the black olives but I highly suggest using them as they add a lot of taste. The 36 carb count is including the use of the olives.

2 cups almond or coconut flour
Heat oven to 350. This recipe makes 12 regular size muffins. Either butter muffin pan or use baking cups as seen in picture. Mix all dry ingredients together and add butter, eggs and water and stir. Mix in fruit if wanted or you can leave them plain. This recipe was made with almond flour. Fill cups about 2/3 full and bake for 25 minutes. Carbs 1.5 per muffin.

1 package pinto beans (complex carbohydrates which impact the blood sugar slowly. These beans are packed full of vitamins and minerals and can be eaten by diabetics.) Soak dry beans overnight and change water a few times to get gas out of them. Boil until tender. Add onion, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper for recipe shown. You can also mash and add a little water to remaining beans for burritos, or tostatos, made with low carb tortilas. 1 cup of cholesterol lowering fiber nets 58.8% of daily fiber intake. 15 carbs per one cup cooked.
Broccoli slaw in recipe is 3 carbs made with Ranch Dressing, or 2 carbs with vinegar and oil.

Use 1/3 cup of left over beans in the above recipe "Steak, Beans & Slaw" and heat up. You can mash them or use them whole like I did. Spread on low carb tortilla, cover with shredded cheese, hot sauce or salsa and microwave so cheese can melt. You can also roll these like a burrito or leave them flat and add a little lettuce and tomato, if desired. Each one has 11 carbs and makes for a great snack or add some sugar free jello and whipped topping for a nice lunch. |

Chicken breast cut into squares or strips
Slightly brown and cook chicken (covered). Add onions and peppers, seasoning and water and let cook down.
This bowl is deeper then it looks and recipe can serve 3 people, 28 carbs for entire recipe or 9 carbs per serving. A good meal to have with a piece of low carb bread and butter, cottage cheese, or a salad or coleslaw. Very filling.

This delicious dinner is just a combination of items taken from other recipes on this page. The butternut squash is covered with the cinnamon butter explained in the "Sweet Potato Muffin" recipe, the hamburger from the "Mix and Match" recipe and my favorite side dish of fried fresh vegetables. Another suggestion would be to make a hot hamburger open face sandwich using a piece of low carb or whole grain bread. The mushroom gravy would add a real treat to it, but you would have to add on another 6 or 7 carbs depending on the bread. Recipe as shown is <12 carbs. |

Dreamfield's macaroni, penne, spaghetti, and elbows, etc. have 5 or 6 carbs, per serving. In this recipe I used the penne (5 carbs), adding raw vegetables that I had in the house, onion, thin slices of turkey, and mayonnaise. You could add walnuts for added texture. It makes for a good low carb lunch with a piece of buttered low carb or whole grain bread, and some sugar free jello and whipped cream. |

Everything on this plate is strictly low carb, healhy, and very filling. Two pork chops and a combination of fried carrots, onions, green pepper, and summer squash. Since there are hardly any carbs to speak of, you most definitely can add some low carb bread and butter or a nice dessert with it. |

1 low carb tortilla
Spread topping on tortilla and put in toaster oven and toast until spread is melted. Take a knife and make sure some of the spread is all over the tortilla.

1 low carb tortilla (5 carbs)
Slightly oil tortilla or pita pocket and add a little Italian seasoning if you are going to use tomato instead of pizza sauce. Bake at 475 for a few minutes only so it doesn't become soggy. Add toppings and put back in oven for about 2 minutes until it looks ready. If you like a thicker and more bready taste, I'd suggest using the low carb pita pocket. If you tend to like the topping portion more then the crust, then use the tortilla. See Slideshow Flash for visual instructions. <10 carbs for tortilla crust and <12 for pita pocket verson.

1/2 to 1 pound of veal
NOTE: If you are on a tight budget, because veal is expensive, you can use all pork. For the real thrifty, a lot of stores sell what they call "mock" city chicken which is ground up pork. Most grocery stores sell or will give you the skewers.
Cut meat into bite size pieces and alternate putting the veal and pork on to the skewer. Dip in Soy Flour or Atkin's Bake Mix, egg, and then dip in ground up pork rinds, or even crushed almonds (which I use a lot for breading). Fry until done and serve with canned Asian vegetables. I always add 2 tablespoons of Soy Sauce for a stronger taste. Slice a tomato or other vegetable and serve with your favorite low carb drink.
This picture shows decaffinated coffee with a non-fat creamer and 1 package of sweetener. It also shows only 3/4 cup of the vegetables since I didn't think I could eat a whole cup. <12 carbs>.

Boil chicken, 1/2 onion, cabbage and mini carrots and cook till done (you can add celery if you want).
In a frying pan, add cannola or olive oil and fry 1 thinly sliced onion, and cut up peppers and zucchini (cauliflower is also good in the mix). Fry until tender as you like. If you want them softer, put a lid on the pan.
Split breast in two as well as legs and thighs, butter and put in boiler or toaster oven broiler until a nice brown color.
I left my cabbage and carrots in my soup, but if you want noodles, use a can of bean sprouts (6 carbs, per can) or Shirataki noodles (which will take on the flavor of the soup and also has 6 carbs per bag).
Total recipe has 35 carbs for four servings. If you add the bean sprouts or Shirataki noodles, add another 6 carbs for a total of 41 for the entire dinner, or just over 10 carbs per dinner for four servings.

Replace potatos with chopped yellow or green summer squash, and add a little onion and canned or boiled corned beef. This picture shows canned corned beef. Brown and serve with a couple of eggs.
For those who are on a tight budget or short of time, canned corned beef, chicken, salmon, and tuna are great for quick cooking. Frozen vegetables also save money and time because they are "quick frozen" and typically have more vitamins and minerals then some vegetables that lose them during shipment and on store shelves.

A FEW TIPS 1. Instead of making a large cake, which is tempting to get into all the time, use small loaf pans and keep one out to eat and freeze the other two for another time. Use mini muffin pans instead of the regular size muffin pan and eat three small ones and even get less carbs. They will be enough to satisfy a craving. Do the same for pie. Make tarts instead. 2. Always refrigerate low carb desserts and breads, tortillas and buns. They will last quite awhile in the refrigerator. 3. With all the new low carb foods on the shelves of local grocery stores, you shouldn't have a problem finding the foods you enjoy. If, however, they don't carry a certain item, check out your local health food stores. 4. If you work, cook soups, stews, lasanga, etc. on the weekends and put them in the freezer so you are not tempted to grab something unhealthy when you come home, tired from work. 5. Munch on salami, Slim Jims, or jerky while watching television. Also, nuts, berries, sugar free jello (with whipped cream), sugar free pudding, soy nuts, pumpkin seeds, and my favorite, sunflower seeds are good snacks. If you like pork rinds, dip them in a nice dipping sauce. Most dips made with sour cream are low in carbs. Cheese sticks or just regular cheese will fulfill the "munchies", if you do not want to invest in the snacks off the internet, like chips, which tend to be a little expensive. If you like tortillas chips, I would recommend buying the low carb tortillas off the web because they are not expensive and you can just cut them in triangles and quickly fry and salt them. 6. You can make your own cheese crisps. You must use artificial cheese, not the real cheese, and make small piles, just a little bit bigger then a quarter, and lay them on a sheet of parchment paper (they tend to stick on anything else and most grocery stores carry the paper in the baking section). Put them in the microwave for just a minute or two until they melt and get some brown spots. Depending on the strength of your microwave, test one or two first to see how much time it will take. For additional flavor, add seasonings or the Ranch Dressing mix that is sold in packages, or some sesame seeds. The cheese will become very crispy and makes a delicious item to snack on. 7. If you are interested in recipes such as lasanga, cupcakes with creamy frosting, nutty meatballs, muffin and cake recipes, jams, bread and butter pickles, stuffed peppers, side dishes, main courses, and other deliciously healthy recipes, please feel free to e-mail me with a recipe or a substitute you are looking for and I will get back with you shortly. 8. Do not, I repeat, do not go hungry. As funds permit, stock your kitchen pantry with as many low carb mixes, flours, and pastas, etc. as you can. Once you stop eating all the carbs your body is use to, you will notice a significant decrease in your appetite. When it comes to the few items you must give up, you won't even miss them as you learn to change your way of shopping, cooking, eating, and substituting them with other foods. 9. The enemies of your body are not the healthy fats and oils, the calories, and the desserts - THEY ARE CARBOHYDRATES! One of my favorites is http://www.foodtv.com.
