Creamy Orange Ginger Chicken

June 29, 2012 By elviira 2 Comments

My husband likes chicken. One of his favorite dishes is chicken curry with vegetables. I’ve made it so many times that this time I wanted to try something different. Something juicy with a subtle bite. When thinking of juicy, orange with its gentle fruitiness goes perfectly with chicken. A piquant touch of ginger gives the bite. I wanted to tie the flavors with something creamy, and sour cream seemed to work well giving its freshly sour note. My husband loved the dish and encouraged me to publish the recipe. Hope you like this as well!

1-2-3 Bread (Dairy-Free)

June 14, 2012 By elviira 151 Comments

I don’t remember how many experiments were needed that I was satisfied with this recipe. I just can say many, and maybe some more. All I wanted was a really simple recipe for easy gluten-free low-carb bread made from ingredients you can find from almost every grocery store, or at least every health food store. A bread, which is easy to vary and makes a nice base for sweet and savory toppings alike.

Finding the best ratio between these simplest ingredients took looong time. Luckily my toddler and my husband loved most of the results, so did my parents whenever they happened to visit us and I was in the mood for baking (well, I’m always in the mood for baking…) I bet you’ll like this simpler than simple recipe, so enjoy!

Quick Mocha Pudding

June 13, 2012 By elviira 2 Comments

Last week I was fancying rich and creamy pudding. Vanilla pudding would have been too — well, vanilla. Chocolate pudding could have been a nice option, but I wanted something a bit more full-flavored so I ended up with mocha pudding. You can easily modify this versatile delicacy to plain vanilla or something more interesting. I’ll give some ideas in the end of this post.

Simple and Easy Low-Carb Lemon Curd

May 31, 2012 By elviira 24 Comments

I had never made lemon curd before since I’m not that big fan of lemon flavor. The idea of simple low-carb lemon curd was however so tempting, that I wanted to try and develop it. Many lemon curd recipes are quite complicated. Separating eggs, grating some lemon zest, melting the butter, using a double boiler, … I wanted something simple and easy. I think I reached my goal, at least I immediately fell in love with this low-carb lemon curd and I wasn’t even a fan of lemon flavor before! I hope you like it as well.

Simple Sugar-Free Strawberry Ice Cream (Egg-Free)

May 27, 2012 By elviira Leave a Comment

This easy to make, refreshing sugar-free strawberry ice cream was developed in a chilling winter day — not what you would immediately expect for a cooling delicacy like this. However, I had some frozen strawberries from last summer and wanted to use them. I also had some coconut milk and got an idea to add thick Greek yogurt for giving a bit more refreshing touch and to thicken the consistency.

Instant Raspberry Ice Cream (Egg-Free)

May 23, 2012 By elviira 2 Comments

I was about to write a lengthy post about simple strawberry ice cream but finally wanted to publish something even simpler. This ice cream is so ridiculously simple yet delicious that most probably many people in the world have already invented it — or at least something very similar. You need just three ingredients: frozen raspberries, ricotta and vanilla stevia.

Buttery Vanilla Cream Cheese Icing

May 10, 2012 By elviira 4 Comments

This smooth and velvety, creamy and buttery low-carb icing is perfect for cakes and cupcakes. It’s something between buttercream and cream cheese icing. Not a compromise, but a sweet marriage of cream cheese and butter. I developed this icing especially for my Fluffy Little Lemon Thingies. Just quickly spread it or pipe beautiful decorations — it suits perfectly both.

Now, wait a minute! Low-carb banoffee? Let me ask again, low-carb and banoffee, all in the same pie? And the whole pie, from topping to crust with just mere 5 ingredients? And net carbs less than 5 per slice? Egg-free as well? I must be kidding! Well, guess again. Here it is, with all its lusciousness, easy and simple, without sacrificing anything except carbs. Enjoy!

Simple and Fluffy Gluten-Free Low-Carb Bread

April 29, 2012 By elviira 296 Comments

You need only four ingredients to make this simple, delicious, gluten-free low-carb bread which is high in protein. What is really nice that you can cut as thin slices as you want since this bread holds well together. Quite often gluten-free bread tends to be crumbly and break easily because it’s the gluten which holds the bread together and it’s hard to find a proper substitute for that.

This bread is dense not only what comes to the texture, but it’s also dense in nutrients. Even it’s dense, it’s not dry and crumbly but deliciously moist.
