I've never made kale chips myself (although I may have to after reading this thread), but here's a recipe from a reliable source who suggests 350F/175C for 10 minutes, plus another 2 to 5 minutes in the oven after turning off the heat...

So I carried out my low-carb-hot-cross-bun experiment. Lessons learned: Do not forget to add the cream of tartar. Leaving it on the counter and only realizing after the buns have started baking that you didn't do anything with it will not help the leavening process. Nor will cursing. Two tbsps...

Wow. Allergic to nuts and coconuts AND a diabetic ... that's not an easy hand to have been dealt. In case it helps, I also recommend this site: http://ketodietapp.com/Blog/category/Recipes. Some of her recipes include instructions for making nut-free versions. And if you're located in either the...

Hi Sandie. I'm a newbie myself and was completely overwhelmed by the learning curve in the beginning too. It took a while, but I eventually built up a pantry full of low-carb ingredients ... many of which I'd either never heard of before, or had no real interest in trying. But now I love what...

I do it myself based on instructions found here: http://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/2012/11/stocking-your-low-carb-pantry.html I use less sweetener than the recipe suggests, because I like 'em tart. I leave the cranberries in the oven for four hours, and then for a little while longer after...

I think anytime I post a food-related question on this forum from now on, I'll see if I can work in a potential song title. Keep things interesting. Then we'd need an album title for the inevitable Greatest Hits compilation.

Oh! I now see some of the missing info. Excellent. Thank you!

Thanks for the input! However, is it just me or there info missing from your list? :confused: What kind of powder? Baking powder? And when you suggest "1 tsp ground" ... ground what? And is the zest and peel lemon or orange or some other type of citrus?

I have a hankerin' for hot cross buns. I came across this recipe: http://www.ditchthecarbs.com/2015/03/16/low-carb-hot-cross-buns/ It looks good, but it reminds me a bit of this low-carb bun (well ... I guess the only similarity are the psyllium husks, but still), which I tried recently and...

Time management skills ... mine are better than they used to be, but there's always room for improvement. I'd like to think that this is a period of adjustment. And if I'm being honest, the fact that I'm going a bit nuts these days is not only because of a diagnosis that was imposed on me, but...

Your freezer collection is impressive. I'm a big fan of alldayidreamaboutfood and ibreatheimhungry. The other one you listed is new to me, so I'll check it out later. Thanks!

I was not much of a cook before this. I'm much improved, but I'm still suffering from a lack of experience and it can make for a plodding pace. I had to change my diet completely, because a lot of what I was eating before was high-carb. I've figured out workarounds for everything except maple...

Sustainability is key. What I was doing for a while is not sustainable and I know it. I'm looking for ways to address this. Working from home once a week so I can spend the time I would have spent commuting on something to make life easier. Buying a freezer (as soon as we figure out where we can...

This: "[...] I've always been someone who thinks about food a lot (what to make, what to buy, who sells the nicest produce, etc.)" Yup, yup, and yup. I start thinking about next week's menu around Wednesday the week before (craaayyy-zeee). Making lists of what I'll need from where so I can...

My mother, from whom I inherited my blood sugar issues, has often proclaimed "I eat to live. I don't live to eat." In this respect the apple rolled away from the tree a bit. I do kind of live to eat, actually. I may yet break and start approaching food primarily as fuel rather than ... well, a...

Yeah I also don't eat meat but do eat fish. I was eating a lot of pulses for a while but have curbed it a bit since apparently they're also high in carbs. I've ditched most processed foods although I still buy this locally made "fake meat" stuff made with ... letsee ... mostly shitaake...

Hi there onnecar. Like AndBreathe, I suspect there's a typo with your stated weight. :-) But I can tell you that I'm pre diabetic, like my mother, and we're both low weight. I've always been slim and have become even more so since being diagnosed as pre diabetic last year. I lost almost 10...

You are more disciplined than I am! Then again, I'm getting more organized and disciplined as I go. Five years ago I may not have recognized the person I am now.

Yes, true. I'm giving in to my inner whiner too much. There are lots of quick recipes out there that I'm trying. But I think when I'm trying to learn how to do something new it takes me longer because I'm referring to the recipe and being more deliberate about it. I'm looking forward to a time...

You are right of course. Thanks for the encouragement!
