My New Cookbook Available Now!

November 14, 2014 By elviira 4 Comments

I’m sorry for being quiet here on my blog for a couple of weeks. I have been working hard in order to finalize my cookbook. You know, it takes some time when you do everything yourself. Develop the recipes, take the photos, write everything up, trying to make it look nice and clear. Yes, and design the cover.

But finally, I can provide you with my brand new cookbook! In the book, you can find 83 easy recipes for healthy everyday cooking. All the recipes are low-carb, gluten-free and sugar-free. I didn’t even want to use any sweeteners this time, so the recipes are sweetener-free as well.

Just click this link and it takes you to the page where you can find more information about the book. By the way, the book is ebook and in .pdf format. I might publish a printed version in the future.

Here comes “wormy dip”, another creepy but oh-so-delicious recipe for Halloween! This savory treat is very easy to prepare. You can make it already several hours before and store well refrigerated so that the flavors mingle and max.

Be sure to think of an appropriate presentation for Halloween. I came up with this creepy idea with shrimps and orange bell pepper after some pondering.

It’s time to pamper your taste buds! There is nothing more tempting than luscious peach panna cotta — like a creamy, soft pillow — topped with brisk, flavor-bursting raspberries. The combination of rich creaminess and invigorating berries is divine!

Meatloaf in a Mug — Two Variations

September 26, 2014 By elviira 14 Comments

Before I’ll start posting crazy Halloween recipes, I want to give you quickly two extremely easy recipes for good old meatloaf in a mug. The first variation of these one-pot one-serving wonders is simple and tasty, and the second variation is really exciting! Have you ever thought pumpkin meatloaf with exotic, warm spices? Believe me, it’s a success! Pumpkin also makes the meatloaf juicy and moist. Both variations are egg-free, and the pumpkin meatloaf is also dairy-free.

Egg “Porridge”

September 16, 2014 By elviira 36 Comments

Here is a fascinating (and satiating!) option for those who are after porridge or oatmeal for breakfast but are lacking proper gluten-free and ketogenic oatmeal recipes. This sweet, creamy and rich breakfast “porridge” keeps you satisfied for hours. (NB. There is a dairy-free version at the end of the post!)

This creation is quite close to scrambled eggs, but grainier, creamier, and sweeter. In fact, when spiced with cinnamon, it resembles rice porridge that we eat here in Finland during Christmas time. It also reminds me of Milchreis (“milk rice”), that Germans eat any time.

If your daily quota of carbs allows, top this porridge with berries or slices of apples or peaches. Berries are highly recommended because of their valuable nutrients.

Totally Terrific Toasted Pecan Butter

August 31, 2014 By elviira 4 Comments

This Totally Terrific Toasted Pecan Butter is a perfect way to include some healthy fats in your LCHF diet. I created a new approach to prepare toasted pecan butter. Instead of brown sugar the butter is browned to get a delicious, nutty flavor. Pecans are also toasted — but not just boringly in a dry skillet or oven. No, they are toasted together in an ample amount of good old butter. Therefore the pecans will be crispy, buttery and toasted outside, and chewy inside. They’ll get a texture which is totally irresistible!

Combined with some more softened butter, sweetener, vanilla (and other spices, if you like), the result is beyond heavenly. This, you cannot resist!

Guest Post: Strawberry Cheesecake Fat Bombs

August 20, 2014 By elviira 224 Comments

It’s a historic moment on my blog: Martina from KetoDietApp has written my first ever guest post. She is a real guru in developing low-carb paleo-friendly recipes and sharing information about healthy eating and living. Now, she has created something really delicious for you! Martina, the stage is yours:

If you follow a ketogenic diet plan, you probably know that the main source of energy should come from fat. Fat bombs are easy snacks high in healthy fats and very low in carbs and protein. They are great for those who find it difficult to include more healthy fats in their diet.

I’ve made many recipes for fat bombs over the last few months. I love using them as quick snacks on my “active” days when I exercise. Fat bombs are also ideal for the fat fast!

These taste just like strawberry cheesecake ice-cream and have a very creamy texture. If you are dairy intolerant, try coconut milk instead of cream cheese and coconut oil instead of butter. Although I haven’t tried this dairy-free version, I’m sure that creamed coconut milk and coconut oil works equally well.
