I can't see why not. It might take a few minutes longer to thicken up though as there might be a wee bit extra water in the frozen berries.

I've just made the flaxmeal loaf as shown on this page [mod edit: link removed]

Its interesting, definitely edible and loads better than no bread which is what I have been having for the last 3 months. It also gave me something to do with the flaxseed which has been sitting in the cupboard. I'm going to try the chocolate sponge pudding next.

Mine looks pretty similar, I added garlic granules which was a mistake they have given it a bit of an artificial taste. I'm thinking I am going to freeze the rest.

Have just whizzed through the [mod edit: reference to site removed] site and think it's great. One or two recipes I've seen elsewhere but that doesn't matter. I did make the chocolate pudding which has already been posted way back and as I don't have a microwave I steamed it. Turned out beautifully but now I'm wondering if it's possible to make the sponge cakes as every other one I've attempted has not been successful. In fact the dentist has made a fortune out of us :lol: Any suggestions on temp if I try them in the oven please?

Curried Beef, Coleslaw, & Mushroom Frittata Muffins

Makes 36 muffins

1 onion, diced
1 heaping tablespoon of coconut oil
1 pound of mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 tub lowest carb coleslaw
1 pound of mince
1 heaping tablespoon of curry powder
½ cup coconut milk
20 large eggs
5-6 tablespoons of coconut flour
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper


preheat the oven to 375 F. Chop and slice veggies.
Heat the coconut oil in a large cast iron or solid based frying pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, throw in the onions with some salt and pepper and sautee them until they are soft and translucent.
Next, add the mushrooms and cook them until the liquid had evaporated.
Put in the mince and cook it until it's no longer pink. Season the meat mixture with the curry powder and add more salt and pepper to taste. Then stir in the coleslaw.
Put paper cases into your muffin tin, or if your like me, put your silicone ones ready on a baking sheet.
Put the mince mixture evenly into the cases.
Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk in the coconut milk.
Ladle or spoon the egg mixture on top of the mince, don't fill as the muffins rise during cooking.
Cook for around 15 minutes, then turn the tray and cook for an additional six minutes.
Once cooked, allow the muffins to cool slightly in the cases, then remove from cases and put onto a wire cooling rack.

Enjoy...

Bernstein's Beef and Green Pepper Stew (in his book it's called Pot Roast Beef):

1.5lb Beef - I buy cheap stewing steak from the supermarket it's fattier, tastier and cheaper than the diced beef
2 tbsp olive oil - I put some butter in too
1 cloves garlic
6 shallots - I use 1 small onion as I can't seem to get hold of shallots
2 stalks celery
1/2 green pepper
12 small mushrooms
Beef stock
1 bay leef
2 tsp parsley
1 glass red wine

I usually omit the red wine as I don't normally have it in the house and I usually put some Worcestershire sauce in.

Supposedly makes 6 portions, although its 2 for me! Each one of Bernstein's portions has 3.3 grams of carbs in.

To make it, fry the onions, garlic and celery in the oil (and butter if using). Add the beef when they seem to be half-cooked. Once the beef is browned, put in the liquids to cover and leave to cook for until the beef is tender - normally about 1.5 hours.

The green peppers give it a really good taste, very much worth trying and ass you can see hardly any carbs. Enjoy!

Maddiemo, let me tell you that you are in for a treat, I can't get enough of the stuff. I have now had the crumble with rhubarb, frozen raspberries and blueberries with lashings of cream, lovely.
