McGriddles.... Low Carb Style

Ok, so I don't know about y'all but I love love love breakfast and everything it entails. Well, after a long week, I knew breakfast was just the answer my hubby needed. Breakfast seems to just bring everything together. If you've had a rough week, make breakfast! If you've had a rough day, make breakfast! Yes, the answer is always, Make Breakfast. So I wanted to try something a little fun. WE love those fast breakfasts on the go, but don't always want all those carby calories, so I wanted to find a low carb way to do it, but something that still tastes good and I came across this... A Low Carb McGriddle, which by the way, I'll be honest, the McDonalds Mcgriddle is actually one of my favorites. That savory with a little sweet... OMG!!!! Party in your mouth!!!!

Jack kept coming into the kitchen as I whipped up this breakfast and I wouldn't spill the secret of what I was making. I didn't want to tell him. I wanted it to be a surprise and a surprise indeed. I watched him as he sunk his teeth into that first bite and he loved it! I still need to perfect my egg. I'm thinking I need a square egg pan like the ole Mickey D's has so I can make a cute square folded one, but the scrambled egg one worked just fine and it still had an amazing taste.

Ingredients

For Pancake "Buns"


  • 1/2 cup sugar free pancake syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 2/3 cup Almond Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp maple extract
  • 10-15 drops liquid stevia

For filling

  • 4 eggs scrambled or fried
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices bacon or breakfast sausage, cooked

Instructions

Heat the syrup to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Continue to boil for several minutes until syrup has thickened and reduced by half. 

 Pour the syrup onto a parchment lined pan and place in into the freezer for at least 1 hour. 
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a whoopie pie pan. Spray the inside of the rings with non-stick spray. 

 Place the remaining ingredients for the buns into a blender and pulse until smooth. Pour evenly into the rings (approximately 2-3 tablespoons per pie mold)

 Remove the syrup from the freezer and gently peel the parchment away from the syrup. Break it into small pieces and evenly distribute the pieces into the batter.

 Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until set. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the rings.  

Assemble to sandwiches by topping one pancake bun with one slice of bacon or sausage, one egg and one slice of cheese, then top with a second bun.

Spaghetti Squash with Southwest Chicken

Image
After years of cooking and sharing recipes, I have finally put together my blog site. Its been a long journey in cooking for friends and family. It wasn't until recently that I was given the confidence to actually create a blog and share everything I have learned and am still learning in the kitchen. I recently was given the opportunity to air on live tv with Good Day Sacramento.  It was quite the experience. Friends and family told me I was a natural on tv, but what they didn't see on tv was how extremely nervous me. My mom and my husband were there calming me down.  After each take, I would let out a big "Whew" and ask how I did.  Apparently my nervousness did not show when the camera was rolling. Thank Goodness! I would like to share the recipe of my dish on Good Day Sacramento with all of you. Spaghetti Squash is that ingredient that we all seem to forget about. It's amazing and very good for you to eat. I think when people look at a spaghetti squash, ...

Mommy's Yummy Lunch Salad

Image
I don't always have time to make a gourmet lunch for myself, but sometimes my kiddos nap around the perfect time and I am able to whip something yummy up. I try and eat healthy during the day because with all this baking I do, I could definitely just give into to the temptation to eat an entire batch of sweets, but luckily I have good self control and don't eat it all. Today I wanted to make myself a salad, but I wanted a little carbs too and luckily I had some quinoa I had cooked already and I could just throw it in the salad. It was a yummy salad and hit the spot. Ingredients: 4 assorted baby bell peppers, sliced 1 yellow onion, sliced 4 mushrooms, sliced 1 tbs olive oil 2 tbs balsamic vinegar 2 morning star vegan burger patties, cooked and cut into cubes (I like the black bean burgers best) 1 slice swiss cheese, cubed 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped 1/4 cup cooked quinoa Directions: In a large skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, mushrooms,...

Our Sourdough Adventure - The Skinny on a Starter.

Image
 To say I love bread would be an understatement. This year we decided on more than one occasion to take up the joy of undertaking the art of sourdough. Earlier in the year, my little starter went rancid because I forgot to feed my baby, but this time around, I am committed and I plan on keeping my starter for years.  This time around with my, or should I say our Sourdough Starter, because I wanted to teach my kids some life skills and what better way to teach them these amazing life skills, then with the art of making this amazing sourdough starter. It's fun too!!!! Nicholas was totally into it! He wanted to be the "SOURDOUGH MASTER" as he called it.  So, I let him join me in the kitchen for this fun little adventure. And it's been quite the adventure of feeding our little Sourdough Baby/babies... I'll get into the babies later... Just don't do what I did and go overboard. I had I think about 6 starters at once going. I didn't think it through. LOL I have ...
