Probably OT: What do you hate about Low Carb eating?

[Kiralynx]

I found the world's easiest recipe for low carb crepes: 2eggs, 2 Tbsp of coconut flour, and enough milk or cream to get the batter the correct consistency. They are really yummy made with a mixture of olive oil and butter in the crepe pan.

I'm making blitzes this weekend--Whoo hoo! They would also be good "wraps" or a stand in for flour tortillas.

Yep, and if you have a lactose intolerance (which I do), you can use homemade 24-hour yogurt instead of the milk. Or, if you don't mind the coconutty taste, coconut milk.

I also make "souffle bread" with mostly egg whites, a couple of the yolks, and a couple tablespoons of pecan flour. The other egg yolks go into a custard, or into homemade Caesar salad dressing.

Nuts are permitted in limited amounts.

"Limited" must be the operative word! I have gained another pound, and considering I'm not eating much else potentially responsible, I think the nuts will have to go. I do eat pumpkin seeds. Should those also be "limited"?

I make kale chips, too. Trader joes sells bags of washed, torn kale. I spray them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and bake them in the oven (or dehydrator) until dry and crisp. They hit that "salty crunchy" spot.

We've made this before. I should try it again. What temp do you bake them on? 400 F?

I lay them out on parchment on one of those pizza re-heating pans (hey, when I gave up store-bought pizza, I had to do SOMETHING with the pans!) and bake on 350F for 10-15 minutes.

I get my coconut flour from Tropical Traditions. If you sign up for their newsletter, once a month, they have free shipping.

Thanks!

I'm having an argument with Word at the moment, but as soon as I can extract a copy of my recipe, I will be glad to share it.

Thank you; I'm looking forward to it. My popovers came out fine (YAY!), but I'd rather be using coconut flour than rice and potato starch flours. Gluten-free is a huge step in the right direction; I'd like to leap further in that direction with low-carb.

Thanks to Kiralynx and Janknitz for the kale chips recipe!
