Taco Seasoning

 I ran out of packaged taco seasoning and I looked up several recipies and combined some things to make my own blend. Some things I just didn't have and some things I didn't want to use. This is the result. A little different flavor but everyone liked it. I have four or five baggies open when I do this so I have enough for four or five times. I bunch it all up in a corner, tie off with a twist tie, and cut off the extre baggie for four small baggies of seasoning.

Taco Seasoning

1 T dried onion
2 tsp chili powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder or dried garlic
1 tsp corn starch
1 tsp ground cummin
1/2 - 1 tsp cayenne or paprica
2 tsp or two of those packages of red pepper flakes (from Pizza Hut)
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp majorum
1/4 tsp pepper

Mix well in the baggie before tying it off. Use one each time and store the rest.

Egg Bread

These rolls were the first bread I had used. I used them for eating with sugar-free jams, grilled cheese egg sandwiches, and sausage wraps but they were best for making French toast. I just used them to make French toast in the normal way and dipped them and cooked it. Tasted just like it with melted butter and cinnamon, or sugar-free syrup.

Egg Bread (Revolution Rolls)     

Preheat oven t 300 degrees
3 Eggs (separated will use both)
1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar
3 T Cream Cheese (softened)
Dash of salt.
Can use one pkg Truvia but when I use with eggs I don't use any sweetner at all.

• Spray cookie sheet with spray olive oil or Pam
• Separate eggs (Make sure NO yolk gets mixed in with the whites)
• Beat egg whites with Cream of Tartar until stiff. (If they move at all they're not beaten enough) .
• In another bowl, mix together yolks, cream cheese salt & sweetner.
• Carefully fold the yolk mixture into the whites being careful to not mix too much (Don't breakdown the whites
• Spoon large portions, carefully onto cookie sheet. (I get six)

                            Get as much height as possible because they are crumbly
Bake for 35 - 45 minutes they will be slightly browned.

Remove from cookie sheet and let cool.

Low-Carb Cooking

I wanted a place to put all my recipies because so many people ask about them.

I only buy a couple of special things for cooking, otherwise, I find it difficult to buy special ingredients to make simple meals or desserts.

Almond Flour/meal:   This can be found at most grocery stores, but can be a bit expensive. Around $10 for Red Mill brand.  I look online and if I find a deal, sometimes I can buy two for that amount. So that's usually what I do. It lasts me a long time because I don't use it every day. I used to make muffins every day but got tired of it.

Flaxseed Flour/meal:  This is cheaper at the grocery store. I got some on sale at Target last time. I buy the Golden kind because it doesn't make the food look so dark, even though it tastes the same, to me, anyway.

CarbQuick: This is like Bisquick. Not good if you're allergic to wheat. Not even that great for low carb eating but it is lower carb and it is useful for some low carb breads/cakes so I use it.

I am more than happy to share with everyone.  Even if you're not low carbing, and you just want sugar free or wheat free recipies most of them are good.  I have collected these recipies from all over the web and I don't know who posted what.. If I post one of yours, let me know and I will give you credit.

I don't really like to cook but I must, so most of these are easy to do, and don't take a lot of time.
