Bar b que sauce
I didn't measure this
About 3/4 cup of ketchup - (the no added sugar one0
about 1 tbls of mustard
1 tbls of Ideal brown sugar
splash of apple cider vinegar
onion powder and garlic powder
1 tbls of Worcestershire sauce
dash of salt

Salsa Chicken

Well I really didn't know what else to call this, so Salsa chicken it is!

3 to 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breast - or more depending how much you want to make
4 oz of cream cheese
3/4 of a large jar of salsa - I use the walmart brand

Throw all your ingredients in a crockpot and cook for about 6 hrs, when it was done, I took to forks and pulled the chicken apart (shredded it).  This was good as a dish by itself or as tacos

tortillas

 A tweaked recipe -

2 eggs
1/4 plus 2 tbls of water
1 tsp of lime juice
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp of cumin
1 tsp of onion powder/ garlic powder
1 tsp of chili powder
2 tbls of coconut flour

Beat your eggs in with the water and lime juice, then add your dry ingredients and whisk together good.
Take a small non stick pan and add a little butter or olive oil and then pour in about 1/4 cup of batter and move your pan around so the batter coats the whole bottom, let your batter sit for about a minute and then put a lid over the pan and let the tortilla cook for another 2 minutes and then uncover and flip.  This makes about 4 tortillas

Chocolate bars and bites


I remember when I first started low carb, I searched the net for low carb candy bars as they are my weakness and I wanted one I could take to the movies that wouldn't melt on me.  I order chocoperfection but for the price I was not impressed at all.  I found a recipe for a "candy bar', on one of my favorite blogs, "sugarfreelowcarbrecipes.com".  So this is a tweaked recipe from hers, only cuz I like mine sweeter and I can't do stevia, it gives me a bad migraine, check out her blog though, she is a genius in the kitchen.

5 ounces of unsweetened chocolate -(I use the bakers cuz trader Joes doesn't sell my chocolate anymore)
a little over an ounce of cacao butter (I bought mine from Raw power on ebay, but you can get it from amazon or even whole foods)
A little over a Tbls of powdered whole milk
A little of a Tbls of  powdered erythritol
20 packets of splenda
1/2 tsp of vanilla
2 tbls of natural peanut butter or whatever flavoring you want
_______________________________________
So with a Wilton Chocolate melter that I got at Walmart, I added the cacao butter first and let it melt and then added the chocolate and let it melt, once melted, I added the whole milk and the sweeteners, once everything is melted good, I add the peanut butter until its smooth and then turn off the melter and added the vanilla.  Then pour into your candy molds.  I had found some heart candy molds at Michael's craft store only cuz I couldn't find a candy bar molds, then I found some small ones on ebay.  So the reason my recipe says "a little" over of some of the stuff is because I made more than the recipe she made.  Mine filled the four little candy bar molds and 8 of the deep heart molds.  These candies can be taken anywhere -  like the movies!

* I started doing these candies and candy bars without the powdered milk to lower the carbs and can't really tell the difference
