Eggs Benedict and how to make traditional English Muffins!

9/11/2014

Eggs Benedict
Eggs Benedict
Two versions of the Hollandaise Sauce are provided; a traditional creamy version and a "foamy" version which is lighter & increases the volume of the sauce.  The "foamy" version can be refrigerated, re-heated and even frozen for later use.
Breakfast is my best meal of the day but Eggs Benedict is definitely one of my favourites!
Served on top of lightly toasted Woolies' English Muffins makes this recipe quick & easy but the extra effort taken to bake your own fresh English Muffins is certainly worth i​t!

New dessert recipe with a Low-Carb biscuit base!

Mascarpone Kiwi Cheesecake
This Mascarpone Kiwi Cheesecake recipe has a low-carb biscuit base made from desiccated coconut & coconut flour - use it for all your biscuit base dessert recipes - it really works!  This particular cheesecake filling is quite tart and for those with a sweeter tooth, consider doubling the amount of stevia used and replace the kiwi fruit with sweet berries.

My cookbook is now revised for Banting/LCHF!

For the Boys
in .pdf format with bookmarks for easy access
I have just finished updating my cookbook for Banting/LCHF.
A new section on all the basics to go Banting has been added and the Stocking the Kitchen section now has a Quick Guide and is colour-c
oded to LCHF (so you know what you can/can't eat!).
Most of the recipes have been updated to include Banting options & tips, and new recipes have been added for alternatives to Bread, Chips, Mash, Noodles, Pasta, Rice, Wraps, low-carb Dried Soup Mixes (to replace soup powders & flavourings to casseroles, stews, sauces, soups, etc) and how to make Biltong (a great LCHF snack!)
The revised eBook is now available for those who want to load it onto their PC, Note or eReader (saves connecting to the internet!).
Enjoy & take care!

Banting/LCHF Alternatives for those dangerous Carbs!

13/9/2014

2 Comments

 
About 18 months ago, I was diagnosed with Diabetes (Type 2) which I believe was caused by a lack of exercise and having gained 15kg in my tender oldER age!  I had to make a serious plan to lose weight and decided to go on a Banting/LCHF diet.  After researching Banting & LCHF (Low Carb High Fat), I kept to the basics & lost 10kg with very little effort.  I must admit that the "high fat" bit worries me but I found that anything high fat is very filling and I can't really eat that much of it anyway (too rich!).
Anyway it's worked for me and I feel so much better already - only 5kg to go!
On the top right of the A3Recipes.com home page I have provided Banting Alternatives for bread, chips, mash, noodles, pasta, pizza base, rice & wraps.  Please try them and the snack option (biltong) and let me know if you have any other ideas or recipes which you would like to share.  I would love to try them and will publish them (with full credit!).  Take care, Barbs.

Biltong
5 Top Tips to making your own Biltong:
1.  Use Silverside - it's better than sirloin, rump or fillet
2.  Don't over salt - you will throw it away!
3.  Hang in a cool, well-ventilated place or dryer
4.  Use a 75Watt globe in your dryer to prevent moulding
5.  Freeze biltong in brown paper to preserve &
     defrost at room temperature

I felt like having wholewheat Portuguese rolls (which our shops don't have) and made these  - homemade bread is just so much better too!
I served them hot with loads of butter, and Chicken Livers Peri-Peri (to mop up all that moreish sauce).
