High Protein Granola Bars

These are like candy, but oh so good for you! I’ve been tweaking the recipes for a year, and this batch is by far the best! I’ll add more variations as I make them. First, about the ingredients. These are not cheap to make, but trust me, it’s worth the cost! Some of the ingredientsContinue reading “High Protein Granola Bars”

Banana Oatmeal ‘Pancakes’

I’ve been talking about this with my massage clients, so I figured I’d post it. I originally made these at a camping event. We were in charge of breakfast for about 40, and had a huge pot of leftover oatmeal. I was skimming the crusty bits off the top, and my friend Nancy said, “WhyContinue reading “Banana Oatmeal ‘Pancakes’”

Recipe ~ Raspberry, Chocolate, Cheesecake Granola Bars

    I’ll make these again, and update with more pics, and measurements. For now, I can give you estimates. The bottom layer, or crust, is crushed pecan (about 1/2 cup) with edible chocolate body butter. I melted the body butter, and added the pecans in a parchment lined 6 X 9 pan. Next layer,Continue reading “Recipe ~ Raspberry, Chocolate, Cheesecake Granola Bars”

Cantaloupe with Mascarpone Cheese

This cantaloupe is the best I’ve ever tasted. From the Hadley Flea Market. Nathan (My  son the chef) agrees. I mixed the Mascarpone with a little heavy cream, vanilla, and a little Stevia. This would make a nice dip for lots of fruit! For a diabetic, adding the fat, and protein slows down the sugarContinue reading “Cantaloupe with Mascarpone Cheese”

Gluten Free Pear Upside Down Cake with Warm Butter Sauce

In response to earlier post, I made a gluten free, lower carb, good for diabetic substitute for apple upside down cake, with warm butter sauce. It came out a cross between an apple pancake, and the apple cake. Since I have Asian Pears coming out of my garden, I used those instead of apples. CoreContinue reading “Gluten Free Pear Upside Down Cake with Warm Butter Sauce”

Gluten Free, Sugar Free, Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars

I have Black Raspberries, Red Raspberries, and Rhubarb, in my yard. I bought the Strawberries at the farmers market. Jam is so easy to make! Just sweeten, and cook. I used Stevia, but not that much. Next I made almond Flour in the Vitamix, dry container. On the right is a white flour, and sugarContinue reading “Gluten Free, Sugar Free, Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars”

Good for diabetes, strawberry shortcake

Coconut flour biscuit, Greek yogurt, and fresh local strawberries. This recipe for biscuits from http://glutenfreehomemaker.com/coconut-flour-biscuits/ is not only gluten free, it is also high in protein, and low in carbs. The Greek yogurt adds more protein. I really like the plain Cabot Greek yogurt. For a diabetic, the protein slows down the intake of carbs, and theContinue reading “Good for diabetes, strawberry shortcake”
