Golden Onion Pizza Squares with Tomato and Goat Cheese












This recipe is a hodge-podge of a couple I found. So, I am listing it as my own! It was pretty good, but without the mozzarella cheese, the toppings don’t stay put!

Six servings
Crust:
Ingredients
(.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon honey

Directions.

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.


In a large bowl combine flour wheat germ and salt. Make a well in the middle and add honey and yeast mixture. Stir well to combine. Cover and set in a warm place to rise for a few minutes


Roll dough on a floured pizza pan and poke a few holes in it with a fork.


Topping:
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 Vidalia onion or 2 yellow onions, halved and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon butter
6 plum tomatoes, chopped (about 3 1/2 cups)
1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
Slice black olives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried


Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and salt, cook stirring frequently, until the onions are golden.


Melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring frequently , until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Add the vinegar and simmer about 1 minute.


Arrange one rack on the bottom rung of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450° F.


With floured hands, stretch and press the pizza dough onto the bottom of a jelly-roll pan. Spread the onion mixture onto the dough. Spoon the tomato mixture on top. Sprinkle with cheese, olives and thyme.


Bake on the bottom rack on the oven until the crust is golded and the cheese is slightly melted 15-20 minutes. Cut into squares and serve at once.

Pressure Cooker Low Carb Porcupine Meatballs

One of my favorite childhood dinners was porcupine meatballs and I have been itching to make them since Matthew and Tassie bought me a pressure cooker!  This is my low carb version.  I have added the original recipe link below but I made some changes. . . and made it work with my pressure cooker. For the meatballs: 1 pound ground beef 1/2 brown rice (I wonder if quinoa would work) 1 large egg 2 tablespoons parsley 1/4 cup onion 1 clove garlic 1 teaspoon chili powder 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper For the sauce: 1/2 cup yellow onion 1 clove garlic 1 15 ounce can of tomato sauce 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon oregano 1/2 teaspoon basil  1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 cup water 1 tablespoon parsley 1/2 cup brown rice Instructions: 1.

Brussel Sprouts with Bacon

Misty and I are part of a food co-op. This week we got a big bunch of brussel sprouts (yuck!) I found this recipe on Allrecipes.com. It was actually pretty good! I exchanged the bacon for turkey bacon and cooked it in a little canola oil before continuing on with the rest of the ingredients. My brussel sprouts may have been a bit larger then usual. It took 25 minutes to cook them until they were soft enough to eat. Brussels Sprouts with Bacon Ingredients 1/2 pound bacon, diced 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 2 teaspoons butter 1/4 onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced salt and black pepper to taste 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half 2 cups chicken stock Directions 1. Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, but not crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving the grease in the skillet. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the baco

Welcome back Low Carbies Blog!

I was just thinking it was time to resurrect the old low-carb blog! Low and behold, there is a blog from my sis indicating the same thing. I have to say that my commitment has also been low and I don’t have a baby to blame it on. . . In May I got so over-whelmed with school and work that I put my scale in the garage and decided I could not focus on that for a while. Just like Misty said, big mistake! I got the scale out a few weeks ago and was shocked! Shocked! How could this happen!!! I have reintroduced some high-carb foods into my diets, but I don’t think I have gone “crazy” with it. Indulging is ok, once and a while! But, obviously I took that to the extreme. I am up 25 pounds! My clothes are tight, and its time to recommit to the program again. Sharing my recipes is one way to stay motivated. So here we go again!
