Apricot Financiers

Apricot Financiers – these cute little bite size cakes are yummy! – I browsed my cookbooks and found something I had all the ingredients for (only 4 ingredients!) These are perfect because they are not too sweet – the sweetness is the apricot – these are made with almond paste –

Tips: The recipe says 30-40 minutes – 30 burned them – the second batch I did for 18 and it still would have been best at about 15 but the good thing is I only did a few on second batch to figure out the time so only do a few to figure out your time Second: I used cup cake liners for first batch – hard to get out – stuck to liners – second batch I just sprayed the mini muffin tin – perfect – came out easily I halved the recipe as I only had 8 oz. almond paste and half made a lot

also the next time I make these (and I will) I will add a small piece of apricot to the bottom of each cup before pouring batter over – I used a pastry bag as it is just easier for me to control portions. Also I let this sit in fridge over night before baking – the recipe recommends a few hours or overnight

Asparagus Soup with Lemon and Parmesan

I had to do something with the Asparagus, because we got tired of it this past weekend after I made a large batch to go with our campfire foods. Jim did not want heavy cream in it, so I found this recipe on this blog called, “onceuponachef“

This is delicious! I added adobe chili pepper and chili pepper flakes to my bowl, and it was perfect! Jim said this was so pleasant with this weather. I poured it in jars for us to heat up for the next several meals.

Cheesy Meat Taquitos, Horchata, and Zucchini Chaffles

Cheesy Beef Taquitos

Keto Celebrations: Low-Carb Dishes for Holidays and Special Occasions Paperback – July 14, 2020

by Mary Alexander 

I checked this book out from my library. The recipe called for chicken, but I had leftover hamburger to use up. I will definitely make this with chicken.

I am so impressed with the recipes in this book, I have ordered a copy so that I can make notes in it.

cheese wraps

Horchata

I added a side salad; cabbage/kale dish and a celery stick with sugar free peanut butter. What a pleasant meal.

Chaffel BLT

Chaffel BLT; I use a mini waffle iron as I like to keep the cheese low on my diet. I have made the 1/2 cup of cheese and 1 egg ones also, and they are delicious.

I use a mini iron, because I it’s easy, quick and a small sandwich. I used a special melting cheese I found at Meijers, but you can use anything. I precook bacon, chop it, and add to a container for using in salads, stir-fry’s and now chaffels. I add the bacon to the cheese, before closing the iron. That way, the bacon stayed in, and was part of the sandwich. I enjoyed the crunch of the sandwich. Delicious, easy and fun idea.

I got this idea from an amazing fb page. The husband and wife cook and share some fantastic recipes. They are called: Let’s Celebrate Weight Loss (author: Chrissy Kruppenbach)

Keto Crunchy Granola

Game Changer for me! I just had a 1/4 cup of this with some strawberries and blueberries and a couple tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk. So delicious! I stored this in a large mason jar, in the fridge.

You do have to watch this closely; after the first 15 minutes, you stir and then watch in 5 minute increments – I put mine on a silicone mat – very easy to pour it directly in to a large mason jar, and store in the refrigerator.

The website I found this on has many many Keto friendly recipes, I have pinterest marked for future creations.

Southwestern Sauteed Corn

TOH Southwestern Sauteed Corn

Delicious!

I made a thank you meal for a neighbor, who helped us with a broken appliance. I added this as the side dish.

I will make this again, for us.

I added one more seasoning- Everything Bagel seasoning, because I love adding that to veggie dishes.

𝙒𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙣 𝘾𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙪𝙥𝙚 𝙄𝙘𝙚 𝙋𝙤𝙥𝙨:

Blend 1 1/2 cups cubed seedless watermelon; 1/2 cup chopped strawberries and 2 tablespoons each superfine sugar (I did not use sugar as the fruit is sweet enough for me) and lime juice in a blender. Divide among ice pop molds (each 3/4 full) ; freeze 1 hour. Puree 1 cup cubed cantaloupe or honeydew melon with 2 tablespoons each superfine sugar (I did not use sugar as the fruit is sweet enough for me) and lime juice. Divide among the ice pop molds, insert sticks, and freeze until firm.

Honeydew melon would be tasty with this but I only had a cantaloupe.

Jim enjoys a Popsicle after working outside in this heat, so I wanted to try my hand at making some using real fruit. I just had one and these are delicious – no preservatives, no artificial colors and no artificial flavors. I’m delighted with the cantaloupe flavor – now I want to try honeydew
