Low Carb/Keto Recipe Thread

What's your tortilla recipe?

Would you believe I can't find it? I'll go back and dig it up tomorrow but it's just egg whites and coconut flour and a bit of baking powder. I'll post that one once I make sure it's the one we did.

Hi Everyone!
I'm back and got to say I missed all my friends here on BYH!
I don't know how many of you are also a member of Sufficient Self so for those of you who don't know I no longer live in New York. I moved to Virginia Nov 4th, 2018 in order to be with my boyfriend who I had known for a lot of years but ended up losing contact then out of the blue I found a way to contact him and low and behold fate stepped in.
I am currently living in Amelia Court House but on March 2nd going to be moving to Chesterfield, VA.
How has everybody been?

I understand that this is a thread for low carb recipes but I noticed alot of members are interested in this thread.
I try to make me a smoothie every morning. The following is what I do
1 med-large banana
1 orange
1 apple
1 c Orange juice
1/2 c Almond Milk
1/2-1 tsp cinnamon
8-10 ice cubes
Peel and cut banana and orange.
Put first 6 ingredients in blender and blend until smooth then add enough ice cubes until it's the thickness you desire.
I get two tall glasses.
Yes, you can do your own variations of it but for me it curbs my hunger and keeps me energized until noon.
I have also mixed in blueberries and yogurt.
All I know is at the end of Dec when the rest of the household was getting sick I stayed healthy.

We try to not have the same meal very often but I love smoked sausage and cabbage. To change the taste a bit I add some yellow mustard or my no sugar BBQ sauce and it changes the taste in a good way.

Fried Cabbage with Sausage
Be sure to brown the sausage nicely for extra flavor.

Mike CHS,
Your recipe for sausage and cabbage sounds delicious and I'm going to try it sometime (more than likely after my boyfriend and I move into our new house).

 

[Mike CHS]

That's one of those simple recipes that tastes like comfort food.

My boyfriend received that in the mail yesterday and I was given a direct order than once we move I'm going to be making it. I'm not to keen on cooked veggies but I'm willing to try it at least once. If one of the other members tries it before I get a chance please post how it turned out.
