"Bread" / Crackers (very low carb!)

Here is a great recipe for low-carb bread / crackers, that hardly has any carbs in them!
This is actually flat bread, crackers (call them what you want), that you can eat when on the LCHF diet! :-)

Perfect for an occation when you want cheese & crackers, or if you just crave bread, and want to eat it with some regular cheese or ham or whatever you prefer.

Ingredients:

Sesame seeds, 1/2 cup
Flax seed (linseed), 1/2 cup
1 teaspoon Locust bean gum (can skip this)
or 1 teaspoon psyllium husk fiber (can skip this) (they sell it at Whole Foods)

1 small teaspoon of salt
3 tablespoons of almond flour (don't need this if you don't have it)
2 eggs
1/2 cup of melted butter
1 teaspoon of provence spice or other (optional)
Nuts, chopped, like almonds (optional)


Mix everything. Spread out as thin as you can, and then use a sharp knife to press down carefully to help seperate in pieces. (See pictures below)
Then bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit  (175 degrees Celcius)







Done!

Enjoy!! :-)



Here's another batch of low-carb crackers, made from only these ingredients:
linseed, butter, eggs, almonds (chopped), a teaspoon of salt, and a teaspoon of sweetener (splenda).
It still stuck together with only those ingredients(smear it out as thin as you can, but with no holes inbetween).



PS. just make sure you don't eat too many cups of linseed per day. The recommended daily intake is 1-2 spoons of linseed, but half a cup is probably okay, and you can also eat the batch over several days, as there's as much as 15 pieces in the first recipe above. Just keep them airtight in plastic somewhere cool, or on the counter if eaten the next day.

Plain yoghurt with sweetener and linseed (flaxseed)



If you don't feel like eggs for breakfast, this is a another option for a low-carb breakfast.

Ingredients:

Plain yoghurt
Sweetener (such as Splenda)
Linseed/flaxseed


Linseed are very healthy, too! Just read this:

"A mere table spoon of linseed is the health equivalent in lignans, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants of 30 cups of broccoli. Imagine eating 30 cups of vegetables every day!
You would need to consume 50 slices of whole wheat bread to get the fiber equivalent of that same tablespoon of linseed."

Chai latte



Want something sweet in the evening, or in the afternoon instead of coffee, that also fills you up a little more than regular tea? Try this chai latte, very good, just like you buy them at the coffee shop!

Chai tea (Indian chai, for example) (use 2 bags if you want it stronger, or brew with real chai tea)
Milk (whole milk is better, and on this LCHF diet, they say it's better with the milk with more fat)
Sweetener (Splenda, Natreen, or similar)

Hot Spinach Dip! (Super-delicious!)

This Hot Spinach Dip is the best low-carb high-fat snack you'll ever try...! (Well, at least it ranks high!)


It is the most delicious when fresh and warm right out of the oven (and not as yummy after refrigerated, although you can still eat it cold.. if there's anything left at all..!).

Ingredients:

3-4 handfulls of spinach (rinsed, trimmed and coarsely chopped)
Scallion, chopped (use several ones for lots of taste)
Garlic, chopped in small pieces
Cream cheese, half a box (60 gram)
Cheese, 1 cup, shredded
Taco sauce, one full tablespoon
Cayenne pepper, a few dashes
Chilli spice, a few dashes
Salt and pepper
Milk (preferably whole milk), 1/2 - 1 cup, see how much is needed.

Put it all in a large pot, which you've first smeared with olive oil.
Heat in oven at 425 degrees Fakrenheit (or 200 degrees Celcius), for 20-25 minutes.

To dip with:

Cut cauliflower in long pieces, so you can use to dip with, or use the Bread/Crackers, which you find the recipe for here (search this blog for "Bread" or see under "Carb-like in substance").

Enjoy!! :-)

Welcome low carb'ers! :-)

Hi there! :-)

Are you following - or trying to follow - or interested in learing more about the LCHF diet?

This is truly a great low carb diet, but it can be difficult to know all aspects around the LCHF diet, or be inventive as to what to eat (it is easy to get tired of eating the same things all the time, as the diet can be quite limiting without the carbs such as bread and flour), so I thought it was a good idea to have this place to share information and recipes, so we all can taste better food, and still lose weight (or stay healthy) on this low carb diet, and to manage to stick to it!

On this blog there will be information about the LCHF (low carb, high fat) diet; what you can eat, and good recipes (which are not always easy to find), etc. If you have some good information to add, or a good recipe which is not on here, please feel free to write it in the 'Comments' field, to share with everyone else! With your permission I can write it in a new post, so everyone can see it more easily.
And please, feel free to add my blog to your blog-list (if you have your own blog), so that others can visit here and find this information too!

Good luck with your LCHF diet! :-)
