Hello all

Was wanting to try the recipes that Samantha98 posted (choc chip cookies & yellow cupcakes) with my 5 year old diabetic daughter but am unsure as to what the carbs / net carbs mean. Do I use total carbs or net carbs when totting up her total intake?

Would really love to know how many carbs are in the average, bog standard, not particularly fancy cupcake (with icing) - the type you'd cook with a 5 year old! Does anyone have any suggestions? Or carb counted recipes?

I'm not a particularly great cook or baker and can't even begin to work out carbs from a basic recipe!

All ideas/recipes very welcome!

Re: Recipes.

Lasagne

I don't weigh the ingredients - just use the amount that looks right. As a professional scientist, I have no problem with milligrams, nor millilitres :lol:

The total volume should be about a litre.

500 g mince - beef, lamb, soya (reconstituted);
Onions, carrots, garlic, swede, celeriac, etc, finely chopped in the food processor;
bring to the boil with a little water.
Add:
tin of tomatoes;
2 Oxo cubes (ground), herbs, paprika, cinnamon;
squirt of tomato puree.
Cook for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile:
Preheat the oven to 180°C
soften 4 sheets of lasagne in cold water;
grate a lump of cheese (half fat if preferred);
Cook & mash a potato for the other half (wife &/or topping)
Rake out the wife's store of foil ready meal dishes, choosing two slightly bigger than a sheet of lasagne;
Load the foil dishes alternating mince & lasagne sheets (2 per dish), finishing with a mince layer, making sure the sheets are covered.
Put the grated cheese on your half, & the potato on the other.
Bake for 20 minutes, until the potato is brown & the cheese bubbling.
Divide & serve.
Allow the second one to cool for another day.

Carb - 1 sheet of lasagne in your half weighs 21.54 g, & contains 68% Carb (15 g)

Enjoy

It sounds like a really great recipe! I haven't tried this one yet. I will try it for a day and we'll see!

Lush chocolate cake but I do not know if it would be suitable for the very low carbers as I don't really know much about that
It does make a yummy diabetic cake for special occasions

Chocolate and Prune cake

300gms/11oz dark chocolate
150gms/5oz low fat spread
200gm/7oz ready to eat prunes or dried apricots can be used instead the cake would be less sweet
3 beaten eggs
150gm/5oz Gram flour
2 tsps baking powder
120mls soya milk

Melt the chocolate in a heat proof dish over a pan of hot water

Beat the prunes and spread until light and fluffy....best done in a food processor..turn into a bowl

Mix the baking powder with the flour and then gradually fold in with the chocolate, prune and spread mixture and eggs then beat in the soya milk

Spoon mixture into a greased and base lined cake tin and cook in a preheated oven 180C/350F for about 20 minutes or until the cake is firm to the touch

It says the Gram flour is a good source of fibre

Left overs soup
We had lots of left overs from the Christmas dinner table.What the little people left on their plates was avidly consumed by the 2 dogs. My mother is taking loads of turkey home with her and we have loads left for us too. Turkey is very low carb.
What was left in the serving dishes included loads of each of parsnips, carrots, brussels, potatoes and bread sauce. I made yorkshires, but none was left.
Today, I got my favourite large pot out and in it sweated a chopped onion, some shreds of salami [for flavour], a sliced dark gill mushroom until all were nicely cooked out. Then I added the left over veggies chopped to 2cm dice. I poured in water to cover and added a enerous dessert spoonful of Bovril. Seasoned with salt, dried Marjoram, caraway seeds and smoky paprika and simmered 15 minutes. then thickened with left over bread sauce.
the soup was ultra delicious.

Re: Recipes.

A site I use frequently is http://www.carb-lite.au.com

My most recent chocolate mousse was from this site and the best chocolate brownie recipe I have made is from Karen Barnaby's "Low carb gourmet.

The best tip is to use at least some real chocolate in the recipes and I prefer the egg yolk mousses compared to the gelatin mousses.

great site ive just been on xx

We have a glut of cauliflower at the moment so I made this soup. I didn't have any great expectations of it but it is absolutely delicious!

This came from 1001 Low-Carb Recipes by Dana Carpendar, an astonishing book with huge variation and scope.

Cream of Cauliflower Soup.

3 tablespoons of butter
120g diced onion
90g diced celery
960ml chicken broth
280g cauliflower frozen or fresh
120ml of single cream
Salt and pepper

Melt butter, saute onion and celery until limp (I added garlic as we have a glut of that at the moment too), Combine this with the chicken broth and cauliflower in a large saucepan and simmer until the cauliflower is tender.
Put into a blender and blend until smooth.
Pour back into the saucepan. Stir in the cream and add salt and pepper to taste.

I love baking and cooking meals, feeling more brave so these recipes are fab ideas! Thanks, think I'm going to try the lemon tart first

Here's a good, low carb, I wouldn't suggest high fat unless you particularly want it greasy, but the sprouts roast very well and dry out to give a lighter, crispy texture with a small amount of oil,
Make sure you drain the raisins well, again, better if they're dryer rather than wet.
I'm fine with the carbs in them, they do give a nice contrast, but if you don't get on with them, omit them.
Same for the bacon, it needs to be dried out, or you get a mushy recipe.

Re: Recipes.

ahhaaa - I'm off to Tesco's tomorrow - any scope for vegetarian adaptation.

personally HATE tofu ... keep trying it every couple months or so but still = blargh!

so anything I can adapt is good, but if the book is packed with beef strips smouldered in a ham sauce over a bed of road kill, I might not bother!

cheeers for the heads up!

Tofu is delicious if you wrap it in bacon. ;-)

I've been experimenting and have come up with these crunchy, bite sized cookies -

Apricot and Ground Almond
1 egg white beaten to stiff peaks
6 tablespoons ground almonds
12 dried apricots [the plump, ready to eat variety] chopped into small pieces.

Mix all together then place in small clumps [about 12] on baking paper on a baking tray.
Cook at gas 4 for 5 mins. Turn the heat down to 1/2 for a further 10 mins. Then turn the heat off altogether and leave to cool in the oven.

Date and Desiccated Coconut.
Same as above but instead of ground almonds use 6 tablespoons desiccated coconut and instead of apricots use 12 dates [not Medjool dates as the pieces stick together when chopped up, nor the ready chopped sugar coated!! variety].

I might try some variations eg add cinnamon to the apricot ones.
