Crisp Bread (Dairy-Free)

July 8, 2013 By elviira 34 Comments

There are those rainy summer days when I don’t want to leave the house but get warm and cozy inside. Maybe I heat the oven and bake some of my all-time favorite munchies for comfort. This superb crisp bread is one of my all-time favorite munchies. Crunchy, tasty and crispy, without gluten and as healthful as possible, it might become one of your all-time favorite munchies as well.

Munch this crunchy crisp bread just like that, or with butter and cheese. For real comfort, top it with sugar-free strawberry or raspberry jam. My favorite way to eat this bread, in addition to load a slice with butter and cheese, is to crumble it over my breakfast yogurt — it’s just like granola, but not sweet, though.

Airy Strawberries and Cream Frosting

May 12, 2013 By elviira 6 Comments

This sugar-free frosting is bursting with flavor of real strawberries. Unlike creamy and buttery frostings, this dreamy meringue-like frosting is airy and fluffy, not heavy. Real strawberries guarantee the authentic strawberry taste without anything artificial. Using freeze-dried strawberries makes also sure that the frosting doesn’t turn out watery, like it would with fresh strawberries.

This frosting is perfect for cakes and cupcakes. You can also make gelatin dessert — just spoon the mixture into dessert bowls and let set in the fridge for an hour or two. A perfect way to finish any tasty summer meal!

Grain-Free “Whole Grain” Crackers

April 7, 2013 By elviira 9 Comments

I was planning to develop a recipe for crisp bread and had the idea for the basic ingredients for quite some time. I wanted to check how it works and of course develop the recipe as good as I can. Well, instead of a replacement for traditional crisp bread the result is this: Grain-Free “Whole Grain” Crackers. I call them “whole grain” because they look and feel like they would be made from whole grains. But no, no grains or gluten here. Just hearty healthy unblanched organic almonds topped off with beneficial extra virgin olive oil.

These wholesome “whole grain” crackers without whole grains are tasty carriers for all kinds of low-carb delicacies like spreads, butter, ham, cheese, veggies or eggs. Even jam and other sweet spreads go well with these tidbits, especially if you omit the salt or reduce it remarkably. Naturally, the crackers are great munchies as such. Try them yourself!

Low-Carb Eggnog

December 15, 2012 By elviira 4 Comments

As I’ve got a nasty flu, it has been the easiest for me to consume my food in liquid form. And that was a really good excuse to develop a recipe for low-carb eggnog! Smooth, creamy, velvety, nourishing and you can add there some rum for soothing a sore throat or just to get in the holiday mood!

Update 19th November 2014: I just learnt that the “Half-and-Half” used in the US contains all kinds of food additives. Please do yourself a favor and never use that kind of junk! What I mean here with half-and-half is simpy light cream with fat content of some 10%-12%. If you cannot find light cream (half cream in UK), just use half heavy cream and half milk. You can even try unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk to keep the carb count to the minimum.
