Hi! It's been a while since I checked in -- been a busy few months.
Our family has added a few things to our staple-shelves: Flax seed meal and coconut oil. We love them both. And they've given rise to the following:
LOW CARB BREAKFAST BARS:
Ingredients:- Flax Seed Meal (ground flax), 1 cup
- Almonds, 1 cup, ground
- Cinnamon, ground, 1 TBS
- Ginger, ground, .5 tsp
- Nutmeg, ground, .5 tsp
- Cloves, ground, .25 tsp
- Macadamia Nuts, .25 cup, whole or halves
- Coconut Oil, .25 cup (= 4 TBS)
- Egg, fresh, 2 large
- Vanilla Extract, 1 tbsp
Mix dry ingredients. Beat eggs, mix in other wet ingredients, and add to dry ingredients.
Form into bars (1"x4" to get 12 from the recipe) and bake at 325 for 10-15 minutes, until there is a "tap" when you flick one with a fingernail.

Options:- Add sweetner of your choice.
- Add 1 Cup blueberries, which drives calories per serving to 168.9 and carbs to 2.5/serving.
- Change up the spices. (A friend used anise, instead of the "spice-cookie" spices. Hubby wants to try using mint.)
For the children, we make them sweet. Then we form them up in little "tea-cookie-sized" balls (around 1 teaspoon) and push a raisin in the top, and call them "cookies". When they're hungry, they eat cookies. Then they're NOT hungry, and are also not sugar-high.
This is NOT an induction-friendly food, as it has seeds and nuts.
