Coconut Custard Pie - S

Coconut Custard Pie

1 cup of Unsweetened Coconut

4 Eggs

1/2 tsp of Salt

1 can of Full Fat Coconut Milk

(or 1 3/4 cup of milk of choice)

*1/4 cup of Xylitol

1/2 tsp of Coconut Extract, optional

Sweeten coconut to taste and toast in a pie pan in oven at 350 degrees for about 4 minutes, stirring several times. It will not be fully toasted.

In blender add 1/2 of the toasted coconut and all the rest of the ingredients. Blend on low for a few minutes.

Pour into a buttered pie pan and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Sprinkle the other half of the coconut on top and finish baking, about 10 more minutes.

If you'd like serve with a few frozen berries. After I took this picture, I smashed them with my fork and put them on top of the pie. Oh My Word! Did that ever take it to another level!

Enjoy!

* You may need more sweetener

Stuffed French Toast Omelettes - S

This interesting little recipe started from one I came across on lowcarbfriends.com. I THMified it and followed the rest of the instructions. They were surprisingly good! Then I had an idea...Success!

Remember... this recipe is not just for breakfast. It would also make a nice quick snack or dessert!

Stuffed French Toast Omelettes -S

2 large eggs
1 Tbsp of Truvia
2 Tbsp of heavy cream
2 tsp cinnamon 
1/2 tsp maple extract 

(I used Frontier Brand) 
Butter, for frying

Whisk all ingredients (except butter) in a bowl. 

Pour into a hot pan as if you were making an omelette
(which you are).

Instead of filling with savory ingredients, 

spread some Cream Cheese or Whipped Cream and Strawberry Topping on half and flip the other side of the egg on top (omelette style).

Sausage and Onion Frittata - S

    This is a good meal to make for Sunday breakfast. I make it the night before and just bake it in the morning while I'm getting ready for church. No fuss, no muss. No grouchy, hungry people.

    It would also work well for a brunch. Make it the night before and while you're preparing the other food, just bake this and you won't have the mess of making it while preparing your other food!

    I found this recipe on Low Carb Friends and have been meaning to try it for a while. I finally was able to and we really liked it! The original recipe said to bake it in a round glass bowl but I had trouble getting the center to cook right. I now recommend using an 8x8 glass cake pan.

Sausage and Onion

Frittata - S

 

1 lb of sausage

Sautee onion and garlic with butter on low/medium heat.

Meanwhile, brown sausage. When almost cooked, add

mushrooms, paste, salt and pepper, and hot sauce.

Sautee 5-10 more minutes.

Mix onions with meat, pat down into an 8x8 baking dish and spread evenly.

Combine eggs and cheeses, pour over top of meat.

Poke "holes" in meat to get a little egg down there.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.

Serve with a dollop of sour cream, if desired

 

 

To make hotter, use spicy sausage

Cheesy Spicy Eggs - S

 

 I have finally found a 'new' way to make eggs. My dad is a low-carber and typically gets eggs every morning. I wanted something different for him besides the same old omelet, fried egg routine. I was on Low Carb Friends and found this recipe. I have tweaked it a bit to make it suit us better.

   I made them for both my parents. My dad loved them. My mom did not appreciate the hot sauce so early in the morning. I fixed that for her and now she likes them as well.

    They look a little weird, but they taste great!

 

Cheesy Spicy Eggs - S

 

3 Tbsp of Water

3 Tbsp of Heavy Cream

3 dashes of Tabasco Sauce*

3 eggs

1 slice of American Cheese

Salt and Pepper, to taste

Braggs Liquid Aminos, to taste -optional

In a non-stick pan, saute first three ingredients over medium heat.
Cook until it starts to thicken.
Carefully break the 3 eggs to form a triangle in the pan.
Salt and Pepper.
Cover with lid and steam for 2 minutes.
Remove lid and put cheese on egg whites.
Cover with lid for 30 seconds or until cheese is melted.
Transfer to a plate.
If desired, drizzle Liquid Aminos on top.

* If you don't like hot sauce/spicy things, simply omit the hot sauce.
