Peanut Butter Brownie Bites

These are AWESOME!!! I got the recipe from the 
Biggest Loser Dessert cookbook, but adapted it a bit.

Have you heard of Coconut Sugar?  We just discovered it, 
and it is such a great substitute to refined sugar.  We found 
Coconut Sugar at Good Earth, but it was kind of pricey.  It was
$8 for 12oz.  So we'll keep a look out for somewhere cheaper.


















2 Tbsp whole grain oat flour (we just put regular oats in the magic bullet)
2 Tbsp whole wheat pastry flour (can be found at winco)
1/2 C unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
4 egg whites
1 C coconut sugar (found at Good Earth)
2 Tbsp Unsweetened Applesauce (we used steamed apples and pureed them)
2 Tbsp Canola Oil
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 C peanut butter (Adams would be the healthiest choice)

Preheat oven to 350° Mist 24-cup mini muffin pan with cooking spray.

Add flours to bowl of food processor fitted with chopping blade and process 2 minutes. Sift flours, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in mixing bowl.

Mix egg whites, sugar, applesauce, oil, vanilla extract and peanut butter in large bowl. Add flour mixture and stir until just combined and no lumps remain. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full. 

Bake 10-12 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in brownie comes out dry. Cool on rack for 5 minutes.

Serving 24

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. Mix ground beef, rice, egg, parsley, onion, garlic, chili pow...

Easy Chicken Salad

Matthew was the inspiration for this one!  He made a delicious chicken salad for Sunday dinner one day and I was in love. It was such a hit he wouldn't even let me take any left overs home.  Meany! Easy Chicken Salad 1 Rotisserie Chicken, cooled, skinned, de-boned and cubed ½ medium onion diced ½-1 Granny Smith apple diced 3-4 celery stocks diced ¼ cup slivered almonds ¾ - 1 cup Mayo ½ cup light sour cream 1-2 tablespoons dried dill (to taste) Salt and Pepper to taste Mix all ingredients on a bowl.   Chill.   Enjoy! Notes:   We have also used grapes instead of apples.   I also like to add diced tomatoes once and a while.   Chopped olives and dill pickles also make a nice addition.  

Oriental Chicken Salad

(Ignore the roman noodles in the photo...I made it for work so I did put those in) Salad: 1/2 head of cabbage 1/2 Bag Romaine Lettuce Diced Chicken Breast green onion, chopped 1/2 C. Celery (finely chopped) 4 T. toasted almonds Toss all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Dressing: 1/2 tsp Stevia (powder) Sea Salt pepper 3/4 c. oil (I used Canola) 1 tsp Sesame Seed oil 2 T. white vinegar 1 T. Soy Sauce 2 pkg Ramen flavoring (The regular version of this recipe has two packets of Top Ramen crumbled in the salad.  You can decided if you would like the extra carbs or not, I chose not) Add all Dressing ingredients into shaker cup.  Shake well before serving.  Do not put on salad until it is ready to serve or it will become soggy. I give it a 4 star rating! YUM YUM
