Chocolate Pumpkin Ice Cream
Cleochatra's Low-Carb Donuts
I got this recipe form the lighter side of low carb web site and I could not wait to try it!!
3 eggs, separated
3 ounces cream cheese
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp cram of tartar
1 Tbsp Splenda
2 Tbsp Davincis Vanilla Syrup (sugar free)
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
In a bowl, whip egg whites with cream of tartar until peaks are stiff (about 5 minutes).
In separate bowl, blend cream cheese, yolks, baking powder and davincis sugar free syrup. Adding half of the yolk batter at a time to the whites and using a tall spoon (I use an iced tea spoon), make a lazy sine wave through the batter once. Turn the bowl 90 degrees and repeat. Add second half of the yolk mix and repeat sine wave two more times.
Place in ungreased, nonstick angel food miniature cake pans.
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove pans from oven and let cool on a cooling rack.Makes 4 crullers.
Chocolate Glaze
2 Lindt 80% dark chocolate squares
1 tbsp davincis vanilla sugar free syrup
2 tbsp Splenda
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp butter
In a microwavable bowl, combine ingredients. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well. Dip tops of crullers into mixture. Drizzle any remaining mixture to fill bare spots. Let crullers rest on cooling rack until glaze has set.
Will coat 6-8 crullers, and can be used for other purposes.
This does dry to a shiny glaze
Keep unused portions and completes recipes in cooler temperatures.
We loved these!! They were very good and I would give them a 4 starr rating!!

Jalapeno Turkey Beef Burgers
My husband brought home some ground turkey today. I hate ground turkey!! LOL,, It just does not have any taste. So I did some thinking, its a scary thing, and came up with this yummy burger!
Ground Turkey
Breakfast Beef Patties
Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning
Jalapeno Jack Cheese
I seasoned the ground turkey with Tony's. I then took some ground turkey and formed it around a beef patty until I could no longer see the Beef patty. Then I cooked it up in my fry pan with butter. Cook just like any hamburger patty. Once it is done top with Cheese and serve with lettuce, tomatoes, and some Jalapeno slices and sour cream.
Our dinner was so so good!!! I will be making this again!!

Low Carb Snickers/Protein Bar
Here's the ingredients:
1. Natural Nut Butter of your choice - I like hazelnut butter as it’s lowest in carbs
2. Heavy/Double Cream
3. Whey Protein - The flavor of your choice.
For the snickers effect choose chocolate whey and chunky peanut butter.
1. Put 50 grams of nut butter and 25 grams of whey protein into a bowl
2. Mix a little until dry and clumpy
3. Add 40ml of heavy cream. Now it magically smooths out quickly when mixed
4. Take out of bowl and shape into a bar
The conversions from metric to imperial:
50 grams natural peanut butter, 1 3/4 ounces or 3 tablespoons
25 grams (1 scoop or 1/3 cup) chocolate whey protein powder
40ml heavy cream, about 2 tablespoons
Dont miss this great one!! Make it today!!

Low Carb/Fat, Sugar Free, High Protein Cake!
I found a young man on youtube making this cake and it looked pretty good. It is a little bit higher carb but I wanted to try it anyways because I have a lot of friends that are into the low fat dieting and I wanted to see if this was something they might like.
I think I ended beating my eggs whites to much, my cake turned out lighter then his. It was easy to make. Over all it seemed a little dry. It was pretty good I would give it 2.5 starrs. But taking away the fat took away the taste! LOL.. I may try this again but use soy or some kind of nut flour in place of the wheat flour and add the egg yellows back into the recipe. That will lower the carbs and bring back the yummy!

Taco's
Grease 2 cookie sheets.
I am going to make them again one night but cut into chip size and have nacho night!! woohoo I can wait!!
Grease 2 cookie sheets.
Take hot patties and wrap around a rolling pin. When cool enough to handle and with form, let cool on a rack for 6-8 hours in a cool oven. (To hold the shape, if you have those stackable racks, you can inset the edges through the racks of a cooling rack or your oven and allow them to hang down. They may curl slightly. Don't panic! They should be still pliable enough the next day to open without breaking).

3- Minute Flourless Chocolate Cake
1 tablespoon butter
1 egg
1 tablespoon DaVinci sugar free syrup, vanilla flavor
4 tablespoons Splenda
1 tablespoon heavy cream
2 tablespoons of cocoa
In a small microwaveable bowl ( I used a glass measuring cup ) throw in everthing listed. Microwave for 10 to 20 seconds. The butter does not have to be completely melted. Whisk until batter is as smooth as possible. Microwave for 1 to 1 1/2 mins. I have a old microwave so it took the longer times but if your microwave is in good working order use the shorter times.
This is so good!! and so easy to make.. I hope you try it!!! yummy!!!

Linda's Deep Dish Pizza
Oopsie Roll Almost Tiramisu
Here is her recipe and I will break down what I did below that:
Then let cool
Now make your cream:
2 cups of whipping cream1/2 cup of splenda
2/3 cup of sour cream
Whip up your whipping cream and splenda then fold in sour cream.
then spray/oil and line your pan with paper.
Then Using a hand held sieve, sprinkle a little bit of cocoa on top of the parchment paper. Quickly dip each cake finger into the coffee and layer them in the bottom of your pan. Spread some of the whipped topping blend on top of the cake fingers and sprinkle more cocoa on top of the cream layer. Continue layering with more coffee dipped fingers, whipped topping, and cocoa, for 2 to 3 layers (depends on your loaf pan size) and ending with a sprinkling of cocoa on top. Refrigerate overnight.
**NOTES: This turned out just ok, I am only posting it because I spent a lot of time on it! LOL What was wrong with this recipe: It tasted nothing like Tiramisu. Now this recipe would be a nice dessert if a few changes were made. The cake fingers need to cook until a little firmer, maybe about 30 mins, Do not dip the fingers in coffee!!! ( this made it soggy and the coffee did nothing for this recipe) I would add some cinnamon and more splenda to the fingers batter. Then it would make a nice after dinner dessert. This recipe made two cakes using bread pans.
Add on: My husband had them for dessert tonight and he loved them!! LOL.. I guess I am picky..lol,, but it was a go for him.
As is I would give it a one starr rating, with changes it could be a 3 or 4.
