Evening all.

Welcome @zauberflote good to have another poster on the thread.

@DJC3 did you get your brownie tin? Just made another batch for our final departmental managers meeting of the year.

Taken out to lunch by my boss today - my team has smashed its target so a meal for all of us plus the rest of the afternoon off. Starter of slices of mozzarella and tomato with a little pesto drizzled over followed by ribeye steak with garlic butter and a small salad to which I added some of the garlic butter. Dessert came before lunch - one of the brownie pieces: took a couple to the office and shared them with our morning tea.

Dinner was a slice of lemon zucchini cake with double cream and then 4 advent calendar chocolates as I’d fallen behind!

I could only find 23cm ones which you said were too big so I bought an oblong one - it’s 26x15 so smaller total area and quite deep sides. Hope it works - just about to start it!

Yes they have the edge over the seed crackers and mum says they are loads better as you don’t get the seeds under your teeth! So think will replace seed crackers while she’s here! Nice smooth surface too for spreading pate on to!
Bread sounds great. I’m looking a keto cheese scone recipes at moment as mum says she misses them.

I’ll be interested if you find a cheese scone recipe - I love soup with a cheese scone.
Thanks for cracker info. I was going to make some more seedy ones for Christmas but I think I’ll do a batch of each now.

I used the 23cm square one this evening - doubled quantities of both brownie mix and cream cheese topping and worked out well (my smaller sized one is a baking tray and wasn’t deep enough). Not set firm enough to cut yet but looks like will get about 40 squares out of that. They’re very rich so only need small pieces.

@shelley262 I have this recipe in my CopyMeThat app but havent’t yet tried it
www.lowcarbsisters.com/almond-flour-scones-low-carb-gluten-free/
I’m pretty sure I got it from someone on this forum (? @Rachox ) I would imaging it could be adapted for cheese scones

She calls these biscuits but they look like scones

Sure the recipe could be tweaked if texture is wrong

 

[PenguinMum]

@shelley262 I use the cheese scone recipe on itwontdiabeatus.com and find it very satisfactory.

 

[DJC3]

@Goonergal They are done and I couldn’t wait until they were cool - had to try one. I cut them into 20 which means just 1g carb each! ( I used Callebaut 100% chocolate which is only 5.5g carbs per 100g)
This is definitely a keeper. Thanks.

 

[shelley262]

@shelley262 am going to try these tomorrow, no herbes de provance so will try some other concoction.

I just mixed the herbs I had in cupboard parsley, basil and small amount coriander leaf plus celery salt. Good luck think secret is getting consistency right with liquid i used more as needed it for the PH

 

[shelley262]

Thank you very much
@PenguinMum @Boo1979 @DJC3 @Goonergal for all your ideas and links will let you know feel some cooking coming on!
What a lovely supportive friendly forum this is x

I don’t have Herbes de Provence either I just use 1 1/2 tbs of mixed Herbes and 1/2 tbs of rosemary. I remember Googling what was in H de P when I first found the recipe and that was the nearest approximation that I had in my cupboard.

Although these tasted lovely, the mixture was too runny, so they spread out and joined together, so definitely not scone shaped. I think less liquid might work or make them in small muffin tins so they come out circular!

@Goonergal can you please repost the brownie recipe, I’ve scrolled back but I can’t find it

 

[zauberflote]

Hi there!
Most of my diet is now from recipes from this site!
I have a peppermint essence as well and have made a version of my favourite 'after dinner mint'.

Hey Tori! There,see? You want to add peppermint to my chocolate!!!!!! I am pretty sure I'd leave out all extraneous flavorings...so.....my Lindt high-%-cacao chocolate squares when I can't get Ghirardelli even-higher-%-ones saves me time. But I will definitely hang around in the kitchen making admiring noises and nose sniffs as you cook!

Low Carb yum have one which is probably close to our idea of a cheese scone. The Americans call them biscuits but they are scones. This one's coconut flour based.

I am SUCH a boring eater! I've spent the last 45 minutes looking at about three of these recipes. My computer has more tabs open than I can bother to count LOL. So maybe I have to commit to cooking more for myself in the New Year!
Bfast: 1/2 avocado, boiled egg, thin slice "flalmax" bread (the flax/almond recipe), coffee with soy milk and CREAM!
Lunch: 4 tall stalks celery, crunchcrunch, a La Tortilla flat (3 UK carbs 8 fiber) with about 2 or 3 tbsp partially defatted pnut butter on it. Visited Mom in memory care while eating.
Snack: small handful mixed unsalted nuts, a very thin slice of flalmax bread toast dipped in the coffee/cream dregs
Supper is taking forever, I am having too much drooling over what is eaten by everybody but me, but:
3 cups baby spinach/kale mix eaten out of hand with some parmesan cheese shreds, yes it was messy, 5 cherry tomatoes, and a tin of unsalted sardines in water. Why would you salt a sardine, anyway??

It's 7:40. I'm supposed to be over supper by 7:00... it's ALL y'all's fault!!!!!!

OK - you got me. These look seriously good and as I'm heading to child free time again, I'll have time to bake again. I see Rachox has asked for the recipe post so I won't go hunting.

Thanks. I have copied this recipe into my notepad. Will do a pre-Christmas run.
Just to perfect the recipe, of course
