AMAZING Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies

Again...thanks to the awesome Maria Emmerich, I've found the best low carb chocolate chip cookie recipe.  I made these last night and wanted to eat the ENTIRE batch!  They are so good!  No one would ever think they were low carb.  I tried using her recipe, which called for Just Like Brown Sugar.  I don't know why I can't use this sugar.  I tried twice blending it with coconut oil and butter...and it clumps up on me!  GRRRR!  I ended up saying screw it and used my favorite Ideal sweetner.  YUM YUM YUM!!

Low Carb Deep Dish Pizza

I seem to be slowly working my way through all of Maria Emmerich's recipes.  She has some really great ones.  My dinner last night was no exception.  I made her Deep Dish Pizza.  I made it in a 9x13" cake pan.  Topped it with grass fed ground beef, onions, garlic, thick sliced pepperoni and mounds of mozzarella!!  It was SOOOOOO good!  I love it.  My only complaint, is that at the end of chewing and in the aftertaste, I can still taste the dang coconut.  There is only 1/2 c of coconut flour in there...so i shouldn't be tasting it, but I do.  It wasn't enough to make me not love this pizza crust.  I loved the consistency of the crust and how good it held up.  I will definately be making this a part of my go-to recipes!  It was even good cold this morning for breakfast!  ;-)

Protein Waffles!!

Yep, this again one of Maria Emmerich's recipes.  These were so good.  I bought a cheap waffle stick maker.  It made a ton of waffle sticks and I put them in ziplock baggies and froze them.  When popping them in the toaster to heat the up, my kids said they smelled like popcorn, but they don't TASTE like popcorn.  They are very good with butter and no sugar syrup!!  I'll be making them all the time.  They lasted several weeks and I've even grabbed them for a quick filling lunch!
