2 Recipes to share!

So I made 2 new things this weekend while on my on my carb free adventure!

First up - breadless bread...if you are eating no/low carb or gluten free.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
2 cups flax seed meal
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1-2 Tablespoons sweetening power from artificial sweetener
5 beaten eggs
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup oil
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare pan (a 10X15 pan with sides works best) with oiled parchment paper or a silicone mat.
1) Mix dry ingredients well -- a whisk works well.
2) Add wet to dry, and combine well. Make sure there aren't obvious strings of egg white hanging out in the batter.
3) Let batter set for 2 to 3 minutes to thicken up some (leave it too long and it gets past the point where it's easy to spread.)
4) Pour batter onto pan. Because it's going to tend to mound in the middle, you'll get a more even thickness if you spread it away from the center somewhat, in roughly a rectangle an inch or two from the sides of the pan (you can go all the way to the edge, but it will be thinner).
5) Bake for about 20 minutes, until it springs back when you touch the top and/or is visibly browning even more than flax already is.
6) Cool and cut into whatever size slices you want. You don't need a sharp knife; I usually just cut it with a spatula.
At 12 servings, each piece of bread has less than one gram of net carbohydrates -- .8 to be exact -- plus 5 grams of fiber.

Egg Popovers - I love you can make these and have them to heat up quickly in the am and get out the door.

Using 2 - 6 muffin cup pans, this recipe will make 12.
Preheat ovent o 350 degrees.
Spray muffin tin with cooking spray.
Line each cup with either a slice of turkey or ham (not too thin) and it should hang over the edges.
In a mixing bowl mix 6 eggs, 6 egg whites, 1/2 - 3/4 cup shredded reduced fat cheddar.
Ladle out evenly among all the cups.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven, cool, then run a knife around the edge to loosen.
Eat one right out of the oven and place the rest in baggies for later!

Enjoy!
Run safe, run happy!
