Emergency Bread (Quick Microwave Loaf)

March 3, 2019 By elviira 11 Comments

So you have surprise guests on their way over and nothing good to serve them. Or your kids come home from school hungry and all there is in the fridge is the light—and an echo. Okay, maybe you have a couple of low-carb cookies left in that jar hidden in the back corner of your pantry, but those are cold comfort. What to do?

No worries! Just whip up this quick and easy bread and you can serve delicious sandwiches, garlic bread, bruschetta, croutons—you name it—to your guests and family in mere minutes!

Size matters here. If you ever need a slightly bigger keto bread than just a mug bread, and need it in a hurry but don’t want to turn on the oven, this bread is the perfect solution. You can make your slices as thin or as thick as you want: it’ll hold together well, but it’s still fluffy with a “bready” mouthfeel.

Easy Dairy-Free Keto Bread

August 18, 2018 By elviira 28 Comments

There just aren’t enough easy keto bread recipes out there, don’t you think? Well, I’m about to help solve that problem! This dairy-free bread recipe is going to be one of the easiest bread recipes you’ll ever try. I promise. Just stir all the ingredients together, shape into a loaf, and bake. That’s it! It literally cannot get any easier.

But this bread doesn’t sacrifice taste for simplicity. It’s delicious, and the texture is just what it should be: a crispy crust surrounding a soft interior. And it’s versatile and easy to vary. The basic version is superb for sweet and savory toppings alike, but by adding salt, stevia, herbs, or other seasonings you can easily tune the recipe to your taste. As always, you’ll find more tips for variations at the end of the post.

Rich Cream Cheese Garlic Spread with Feta

July 20, 2018 By elviira 2 Comments

Rich, savory and buttery, this scrumptious 4-ingredient cream cheese- and butter-based spread is a perfect topping for your low-carb or keto bread — kind of like a homemade version of Boursin, the popular (and terribly addictive!) herbed garlic-cheese spread. (If you follow a keto lifestyle, you can use this delicious spread as a fat bomb, too.).

Garlic and feta offer lots of flavor on their own here, and you can add extra punch with fresh chives, if you like. Then the mixture is whipped till it’s smooth and fluffy, and the result is a low-carb treat you’ll want to slather on just about everything.

Easy 4-Ingredient Keto Mug Bread

May 27, 2018 By elviira 68 Comments

I’ve done lots of keto mug bread experiments. I posted one recipe, which was pretty close to this one, on Facebook a couple of years ago. But that recipe contained flaxseed, which I don’t use anymore because there are so many problems with it (see below!), so I use chia seeds in this recipe instead. They lend a delicious crunch to this easy-to-make 90-second keto bread.

Easy Egg Gratin with Sriracha Sauce

February 11, 2018 By elviira 6 Comments

First of all, I want to thank Gladys — my dear friend and reader — for this wonderful recipe idea. She sent me an old Hard Boiled Eggs Gratin recipe that was found in a wooden trunk which had been hidden away in the corner of a dusty attic for generations.

I was immediately intrigued with egg gratin; it sounded like a perfect idea and looked gorgeous. Actually, I made several experiments when perfecting the recipe — you can read more about them in this post. This variation is my absolute favorite, though, because it’s so tasty: Sriracha (or homemade Sugar-Free Sweet Chili Sauce) is a great companion for this easy, nearly-zero-carb egg gratin.

Bacon and Eggs on a Cloud

May 19, 2017 By elviira 6 Comments

Last week, I learned that Eggs on a Cloud is a kinda Instagram hit now — my husband showed me an article in a German online magazine. You know Eggs on a Cloud? Where you place a whole egg yolk on top of stiff-beaten egg whites, looking like the bright-colored yolk is floating on a soft, white cloud? The idea is certainly fascinating, and I immediately got several ideas of how to vary and improve the basic recipe, naturally keeping it still simple.

In this post, you will find my experiments and variations as well as the ultimate, super-scrumptious Bacon and Eggs on a Cloud recipe! You couldn’t imagine how simple this tasty and practically zero-carb dish actually is!

Coffee and Chocolate Chip Chia Pudding

August 2, 2016 By elviira 8 Comments

Those who are familiar with me know I cannot start my day without a big mug of strong, black coffee. A good start for the day simply cries for the sumptuous smell of coffee, which wakes up all your senses. And when you taste the first sip of freshly-made coffee, you feel each cell in your body wake up. Ok, maybe I’m a coffee addict, but that’s not too bad of an addiction, I think.

For a change, I enjoyed my morning coffee in another form. To be honest, I haven’t been a big lover of the extremely trendy chia puddings, maybe because I don’t like chia seeds. Well, to be even more honest, I haven’t even tried chia pudding, so I cannot really tell if I like it or not!

I got rid of my lack of knowledge, and did some low-carb chia pudding experiments. The winner proved this Coffee and Chocolate Chip Chia Pudding, which is a perfect all-in-one breakfast, including that sumptuous coffee! I’m sure you will love it, too.
