Low-Carb, So Simple!

Bacon Wrapped Chicken Meatballs (Dairy-Free)

March 6, 2015 By elviira 16 Comments

These meatballs have been a huge hit on our dinner table for some months now! Not only are they super simple to make, but they are also very tasty. This recipe came together more or less by accident, just using the ingredients I happened to have at hand. (Isn’t that the way how the best recipes are created, anyway?) Moreover, I don’t think you can go wrong with anything that is wrapped in bacon!

The combination of garlic, onion and paprika is quite basic what comes to seasoning, but I just consider those spices really tasty. They go well with mild chicken and savory bacon. Please feel free to use your favorite spices or seasonings, or what you happen to have in your pantry at the moment. Also, if you don’t eat bacon, you can just use turkey bacon or omit the bacon altogether and fry these like regular meatballs.

Basic Butter Frosting and Orange Butter Frosting

February 1, 2015 By elviira 10 Comments

These fat-filled luscious frostings are perfect for LCHF-style celebrations. These butter frostings are great for piping, making it easy to create gorgeous and delicious decorations on your low-carb cakes and cupcakes. Naturally, you can also use these scrumptious frostings as fillings, like I have done below with my whoopie pies.

You can easily create your own butter frosting variations by adding other flavorings, extracts or even powdered freeze-dried berries. For example, Sugar-Free Strawberry Jam works extremely well and makes a great frosting for example for the Valentine’s Day celebrations.

Moreover, these frostings are ready in a snap. No need to freeze or let them set. Just beat until fluffy and use immediately! You can store the leftover frosting in the fridge, but just remember to take it to room temperature at least half an hour before using.

Unusually Fluffy Muffins (Dairy-Free)

February 1, 2015 By elviira 22 Comments

This is one of the recipes I’ve wanted to publish for a very long time since I really haven’t had any dairy-free basic muffin recipe. I just love basic recipes because they leave lots of space for variations. You can let your imagination fly and add vanilla extract or other extracts, berries, nuts, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, berry powders, sugar-free jam or flavorings or anything you happen to have in your pantry at that moment. Moreover, basic muffins are great bases for frostings. Make a gorgeous and luscious frosting and let it shine as a beautiful crown on top of the muffin!
