Low Carb English Muffin

These are low carb lifesavers of a Keto morning. How many times you have woken up with that feeling, Oh I need a sandwich.!!!. But in few mins you realize you just started losing weight on Keto Diet and you don’t want your progress to stall again. Yes! I know that feeling. I am so happy I came up with these Quick Low Carb English Muffins, they make life, and my way of eating so much easier.  They can be made with different options for different diet restrictions. And each way I’ve tried them, they are still tasty.

Fun Fact:

Did you know that an English baker, a certain Samuel B. Thomas, started making these flat chewy things in America over 100 years ago, from his mother’s tea cake recipe. The English deny that they ever heard or saw anything like it until they were imported from America. Today you can find Thomas’ English Muffins in most English supermarkets. Imported from America

Oh That Crunch!!: Remember traditional English Muffins – how light and airy? The “nooks and crannies” in these toasted wheat based muffins were perfect with melted butter. You would have delicious little wells of butter with every taste-tempting bite. We have the perfect low-carb English Muffin substitute with texture close to the original and it toasts perfectly. You will not be able to tell the difference, really! Best of all, they are quick and easy.

Our recipe calls for only 5 ingredients. It is egg based and we like to use coconut flour. We have tried almond flour, both super fine and meal mix, but we find it is too coarse when cooked. The blend of the coconut flour, coconut oil, and baking powder produces a texture that is most like bread or a wheat-based muffin. You can add a small amount of psyllium husk powder to make your muffin fluffier and more bread like. We also find the coconut flour is more absorbent than almond.

Try the recipe below and let me you how it turned out to be. Let me know if you have your version of the same. I would love to try that as well.

Low Carb /Keto Coffee Ice Cream

This Low Carb /Keto Coffee Ice Cream is ridiculously creamy and fragrant. Plus, it won’t freeze rock solid, like your usual homemade low carb ice cream! Moreover, this is Guilt free which will help your macros under control .

I used to love chocolate , vanilla , coffee ice cream since childhood. Any moment I felt like celebrating , ice-cream was one of my favorite go to. An year back when I decided to switch to low carb/Keto diet for keeping healthy lifestyle , I started missing all the desserts which I used to enjoy a lot!!!

So I came up with this recipe which helped me in maintaining state of ketosis. If you are wondering what is KETO diet , you check here. It was a long journey to adjust in this new way of lifestyle change, I have created a blog for that also, it describes how you can start a keto diet as a beginner . Many people have few misconceptions about themselves that they cannot loose weight irrespective of anything because they have Obesity as a genetic factor in their family. So just to clarify your doubt this is not true, you can check complete details here .

Long Sweet History :

• According to IDFA, Ice cream’s origins reach back as far as the second century B.C., although no specific date of origin nor inventor has been indisputably credited with its discovery.
• Alexander the Great enjoyed snow and ice flavored with honey and nectar.
• Biblical references also show that King Solomon was fond of iced drinks during harvesting.
• During the Roman Empire, Nero Claudius Caesar (A.D. 54-86) frequently sent runners into the mountains for snow, which was then flavored with fruits and juices.

With time, ice cream evolved and eventually it’s ingredients. It has changed in such a rapid way that today most of the ice-creams are made with processed food like condensed milk / sugar /artificial flavours which has drastically impacted today’s health. And the fun fact is that most of the people are not aware of such changes in their day to day life .

BUT with few Keto friendly ingredients we can actually make a delicious healthy ice cream , with no preservatives!!!! So here is my take on the classic.

Expresso Coffee Ice Cream Shots

Healthy Keto Dessert with ultimate expresso flavours!!!!!!!!

• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• Stevia/Sugar free (based on taste)
• 1/4 cup hot water

Low Carb & Keto EggNog Coffee

To kick off the holiday cheer I’ve got one of our favorites: a ridiculously creamy and velvety sugar-free Low Carb & Keto EggNog Coffee . This holiday season, I say let’s skip the store-bought cartons and additive-laden jugs. Have our eggnog the old-fashioned way: with real eggs. This stuff is incredible, and it couldn’t be easier to make. And if you’re anything like me, its taste will be enough to swoon you back to Christmas past. And definitely not in an Ebenezer Scrooge sort of way!

Eggnog is thought to be around since the late 1600s. And whether you enjoy it warm or chilled, spiked or virgin, creamy or frothy, this keto recipe will cover all your bases.

Keto diet is something which requires a lot of fat intake for energy production instead of carbohydrates. Check details here. So I created my own versions of lowcarb & keto eggnog coffee to enjoy my Keto Journey, even in holidays.

Why Low Carb & Keto EggNog Coffee??

• Immensely regulated my hormones to next level.
• no panicking, no menstrual cramps, no mood swings and no late night sad over eating.

I can tell you that it was never a smooth journey. Having people around who loves sugar cookie, late night parties , sweets as in their words, it is sense of lovingness in life which comes from food. I have seen  health issues like low BP, fatigue ,no energy  and feeling of emptiness throughout my past years. Even though my weight was ok based on my BMI , but I never felt awesome, even in holidays. I loved being at home lonely and not feeling like talking to anyone and watching sad movies.

BUT today, I am the happiest person, who enjoys every moment of life, and take decisions stress free with no more mood swings.

Initial phase was the worst one because when I started there was not much information out there about keto cramps, you can check details here
Also I figure out that before starting keto, these are really important points that everyone should know.

It’s true that even today I get sugar craving which i satisfy by having keto desserts.

I love having Starbucks coffee but I have realized that its expensive so I created my own version of Keto EggNog coffee.

I hope you guys enjoy my version guilt free this winter with your loved one.

Let me know if you guys have any questions, or would like to share your version of coffee.

Egg Nog Coffee

• 2 tsp Coffee (based on taste you can change the amount)

• pinch Nutmeg

1. Microwave butter for 30 sec , if you want to melt it and let it rest for 1 min .

   Mix all ingredients in mixer grinder

2. Serve with cub of ice.

3. Enjoy

Low Carb Tortillas / Chapati

Mexican/Indian food are one of the most loved and tasty food in this whole world, personally I am a big fan of both of them. This week I did some experiments as my urge to try street style food was not on halt. So I tried my version of Low Carb Tortillas / Chapati while maintaining Keto macros. I know there are tons of recipes on insta but most failed to impress me. And what’s life without some innovations, right ?

I know many people start Keto diet but fall of the wagon in between since they feel they have to sacrifice a lot for their favourite food, so my friend this recipe is for you, check other recipes here .

Regular wheat / corn flour contains too much carbohydrates , which kicks you out of Ketosis. Even single bite can do the damage. If you want to get back into Ketosis fast , you can do IF, check here for details.

The Benefits of Almond Flour

Almond flour is one of the best alternative for Keto diet which helps you in maintaining macro’s . 2 tbsp. of flour has 3 gm of Carbs which is amazing !!! If you want to check more details about nuts nutrient contents, see here .

Note:- Coconut flour is one of the alternative but is difficult to bind , so you can use physillium husk with that. Check more Keto flours here

why should we use Almond flour:

1. High in riboflavin, manganese and copper, helps in improving energy level.
2. Helps maintaining healthy weight .
3. According to the study’s published,almond flour consumption can decrease the risk of colon cancer and almonds’ high healthy fat content is related to its anticancer ability.

Brussels Sprouts With Bacon

Everything tastes better with bacon and our roasted Brussels sprouts are no exception. The oven-roasting process caramelizes and crisps the leaves, turning even hardcore carnivores into veggie lovers. When I made my first Brussels Sprouts with Bacon, my family was instantly hooked onto it and I wanted to share the love with my keto family.

Brussels sprouts and bacon are, in my humble opinion, one of the best food pairings of the modern era. Good-bye soggy, bitter, unwelcome side-dish of my childhood — oven-roasted brussels sprouts are perfectly crispy, tender, and delicious. The bacon just adds a whole new level of crispy, savory delight.

And when this pair come together as an oven-roasted hash topped with fried eggs? Hello, breakfast heaven!

Brussels sprouts are not exactly low in carbs.

• A single serving of 85 grams clocks in at 5 net carbs (8 grams of carbs minus 3 grams of fiber).
• This doesn’t mean that they’re off the Keto menu, though! When paired with carb-free foods like bacon and eggs, they can make for a perfect Keto meal.

Long live brussels sprouts and bacon!

The best part about this breakfast (besides the part where it includes brussels sprouts and bacon and eggs) is that it only takes minutes to prepare. And while your hash roasts, you can clean up the kitchen, cook up your eggs, and be ready to go!

(anyone else love having the kitchen cleaned before they eat the meal, or is that just me?)

And before we begin , remember you are master of your bacon and brussels, so feel free to throw in your favorite garlic, ginger and other spices. I an more of a traditional gal to I stick to what my mom taught. So here you go!!! enjoy..

Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Bacon

• 2 lb Whole Brussels Sprouts
• 4 Slices thick cut bacon (Replace it with 1 tbsp clarrified butter in case donot want bacon)
• 2 tbsp Vinegar
• 1 tsp Salt (based on taste)
• 1/2 tsp pepper (based on taste)

1. Cut bacon in large pieces.

2. Saute the bacon until slightly crispy,reserve fat

3. Wash Brussels sprouts, cut them into half legthwise

4. Toss the brussels sprouts in bacon fat and roast at 205 degree C (400 degree F) until tender.( 20 to 25 minutes)

5. Mix vinegar in a bowl with cooked brussels sprouts.

Lemon Vinaigrette

Lemon dressings often incorporate flavors, such as herbs, garlic, and anchovy, but sometimes a simple lemon vinaigrette is all you want.

There are tons of artificial flavors added to store bought stuff and we never want that on Keto. We are always looking for easy recipes to make right? In my search for making a tasty salad , I ended up making a recipe for its dressing as well . After all what’s a good salad without a dressing!!

Why Lemon?

• Lemons are acidic in nature but are alkalizing for the body, helping to restore body’s PH balance.
• Being rich in Vit C and flavonoids that helps fighting against infections like flu and cold.
• They are one of the greatest element for liver as it helps in detoxifying/flushes the uric acid for system.
• Having a glass of lemon juice with warm water helps in regulating bowl movement
  thus eliminating waste from the body.
• Lemon is such a powerful ingredient for body that it can help dissolving gall bladder stone, calcium deposits and kidney stones.
• Most widely used ingredient for weight loss which increases immunity and it’s antioxidants property help in keeping your skin fresh and healthy.

Modern diet consist of refined sugars, un-processed foods, chemicals which contributes to production of acid in the blood, causing PH to levels where
diseases can thrive. So adding lemon can counter these negative effects.

Acc. to one of the study published in the British Journal of Radiology, fostering an alkaline environment in the body could also help enhance cancer treatment effectiveness as well.

So there is no reason for us , not to consume it Right? So , here is my take of classic Lemon vinaigrette dressing. Enjoy !

Tangy dressing for quick salad with savoury flavour to enrich your taste buds

• 1 tbsp Lemon juice (You can reduce it , if you donot want too much tanginess)
• 1 tbsp chicken Broth
• 1 tbsp minced shallots

• 1 tsp minced, fresh thyme
