November 28, 2014 By elviira 4 Comments

I just received email from the sweetest lady ever. She has bought my cookbooks and they really seem to have touched her. I want to share these kind words with you, anyway, she is challenging you, my dear readers! Thank you, Marion, from your kind words!

Because of this email, I decided to extend the offer of my new cookbook by one day. The last day when the offer is valid is Cyber Monday 1st of December. So, you’ll get my new cookbook “Easy Everyday Recipes” at a discounted price + the “Healthy Drink Recipes” book for free.

In the end of the post I share one recipe from my new cookbook. I’ve got plenty of positive comments from it, so I hope you’ll like it as well!

Eggsquisite Eggnog Sauce

November 21, 2014 By elviira 8 Comments

I’m in heaven! It’s now finally the time of the year when I can indulge in creamy and velvety eggnog. I just love those characteristic scents of rich cream, rum and nutmeg. The first sip of this thick nectar is the perfect enjoyment. After a few sips comes the feeling of ultimate relaxation!

This time I wanted to make eggnog flavored sauce with which you can crown your low-carb pies and cakes. Just think of a pumpkin pie smothered with this thick and rich sauce. Try it with cranberries, too! In the end of the post is an interesting variation for an elegant dessert. NB. This sauce contains raw egg.

Here comes “wormy dip”, another creepy but oh-so-delicious recipe for Halloween! This savory treat is very easy to prepare. You can make it already several hours before and store well refrigerated so that the flavors mingle and max.

Be sure to think of an appropriate presentation for Halloween. I came up with this creepy idea with shrimps and orange bell pepper after some pondering.

Actually, this dip is not only for Halloween, you can naturally serve it at any time of the year!

It’s time to pamper your taste buds! There is nothing more tempting than luscious peach panna cotta — like a creamy, soft pillow — topped with brisk, flavor-bursting raspberries. The combination of rich creaminess and invigorating berries is divine!

Could you believe that this heavenly dessert comes with only 3.3 grams net carbs per serving! Since the peachy, velvety panna cotta is full of elegant flavor, it doesn’t hurt if you leave out the raspberries in search of even lower carb count.

Meatloaf in a Mug — Two Variations

September 26, 2014 By elviira 14 Comments

Before I’ll start posting crazy Halloween recipes, I want to give you quickly two extremely easy recipes for good old meatloaf in a mug. The first variation of these one-pot one-serving wonders is simple and tasty, and the second variation is really exciting! Have you ever thought pumpkin meatloaf with exotic, warm spices? Believe me, it’s a success! Pumpkin also makes the meatloaf juicy and moist. Both variations are egg-free, and the pumpkin meatloaf is also dairy-free.

Egg “Porridge”

September 16, 2014 By elviira 36 Comments

Here is a fascinating (and satiating!) option for those who are after porridge or oatmeal for breakfast but are lacking proper gluten-free and ketogenic oatmeal recipes. This sweet, creamy and rich breakfast “porridge” keeps you satisfied for hours. (NB. There is a dairy-free version at the end of the post!)

This creation is quite close to scrambled eggs, but grainier, creamier, and sweeter. In fact, when spiced with cinnamon, it resembles rice porridge that we eat here in Finland during Christmas time. It also reminds me of Milchreis (“milk rice”), that Germans eat any time.

If your daily quota of carbs allows, top this porridge with berries or slices of apples or peaches. Berries are highly recommended because of their valuable nutrients.

Totally Terrific Toasted Pecan Butter

August 31, 2014 By elviira 4 Comments

This Totally Terrific Toasted Pecan Butter is a perfect way to include some healthy fats in your LCHF diet. I created a new approach to prepare toasted pecan butter. Instead of brown sugar the butter is browned to get a delicious, nutty flavor. Pecans are also toasted — but not just boringly in a dry skillet or oven. No, they are toasted together in an ample amount of good old butter. Therefore the pecans will be crispy, buttery and toasted outside, and chewy inside. They’ll get a texture which is totally irresistible!

Combined with some more softened butter, sweetener, vanilla (and other spices, if you like), the result is beyond heavenly. This, you cannot resist!
