Delicio Recipe List

This breakfast was deliciously low carb. Sometimes, on Saturday, we have a slow, lazy, nothing to do sort of morning. This morning was just one of those. So we did brunch! The boys wanted waffles and scrambled eggs. No problem.  I made them regular waffles but I made some almond flour waffles for me. Almond waffle recipe: 2 eggs 1/4 C. Heavy Cream 1/4 almond flour 1/2 tsp. baking powder A pinch of salt 1 T. Olive oil I don't put sugar substitute in because I really don't like things sweet anymore. (Yippee) Spray the waffle iron and waffle away! So, what's on the plate? Eggs and bacon...no problem, no carbs there. Waffles....about three carbs for the whole thing. Half a grapefruit....maybe six carbs. What, you might ask am I drinking? Hot cocoa, low carb style. Low carb cocoa 2 cups very warm water 1/2 tsp. cocoa powder 1/4 cup heavy cream That's it. I used to add stevia, but again, I don't need the sweetness anymore. There you go. A lovely Saturday morning brunch.

I would like to know how many batches of this stuff we've stirred up over the last 1 1/2 years.  Everyone loves it, so it disappears quickly.  3/4 cup honey 3/4 cup oil 2 tsp. vanilla 1/2 tsp. salt 2 cups oatmeal 2 cups coarsely broken graham wafers 1 cup coconut 1/2 cup sunflower seeds 1/2 cup wheat germ 1/2 cup sesame seeds 1/2 cup almond or peanuts 1 cup raisins or dried cranberries Heat oil and honey until thin.  Add vanilla and salt.  Combine remaining ingredients except raisins and pour honey mixture over.  Spread in cookie sheet and bake 30 min. at 275 F stirring every 10 min.  Let cool, break into chunks and stir in raisins.  A yummy, healthy snack or breakfast. Notes:  I reduce the honey and oil to 1/2 cup each.  It's a little healthier. (And a little drier!)             I can't buy graham crackers here, so use something called breakfast biscuits, which are a  ...

Very easy breakfast for supper!  1 cup stone-ground grits 4 cups beef stock 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese 6 sausage patties, cooked and chopped 1 egg, fried over easy, per bowl Make the grits in a large heavy saucepan. Bringing 4 cups of beef stock to a boil. Whisk in the grits a 1/4 cup at a time. When you have added all the grits, reduce the heat to a very low simmer and cook over low heat for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally at first and more frequently toward the end. When done, taste and add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in cheese and sausage. Place each portion in a bowl and top with a soft fried egg.

This recipe is as old as the hills. Some people will scoff at using mayonnaise, but it really helps to keep the pork moist and tender. This is also a recipe that I think you have to be willing to get a little messy in the kitchen. I've never been able to do the "wet hand, dry hand" method of breading, and believe me, when you've worked in a kitchen frying chicken by the 5 gallon bucket loads... you'll try every method available... So get in there and get your hands dirty! :-) Served here with Greek Potatoes and Skillet Fried Corn 6 Pork Chops Wet Mixture: 1 cup mayonnaise 1 tsp mustard 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder salt & pepper, to taste Dry Mixture: 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs 1/2 cup Flour 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp onion powder Salt & Pepper, to taste Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking pan or large casserole dish with oil. In a flat dish,  whisk together mayo and seasonings . In a separate dish,  combine bread crumbs, flour and sea...

I know many of you have seen me mention PBC on my Facebook page. Most of you know that that's my home church, Pinewood Baptist Church, and I feed our Wednesday Night Supper crowd. We have recently grown to a group of about 75 or so. This past Saturday, the youth put on a Sweethearts Banquet, serving Steak/Chicken, Baked Potatoes, Salad and Desserts. When I got to the kitchen today, there was all kinds of leftovers in the frig. There was broccoli, cauliflower and red onions left over from the salads... already cut up and ready to go! I tossed them with enough oil and melted butter to coat them and sprinkled them with salt, pepper and garlic powder. I spread them out on a cookie sheet and roasted them at 425 degrees, until they were nice and caramelized!  Before... After Roasting!

Ingredients 16 oz vanilla almond bark 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk 50 (ish) Ritz crackers 1-1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter 7 oz jar marshmallow fluff Instructions Line a 9x13 pan with foil. Spray foil with nonstick vegetable oil spray and set aside. In a large bowl, melt vanilla almond bark according to package directions. Stir in sweetened condensed milk and stir until smooth and combined. Spread half of the candy mixture in the bottom of your prepared pan. Press crackers on top of the candy, so that they are touching. You'll have roughly 7 rows of 4 crackers. Spoon peanut butter evenly over the surface of the crackers, then spread with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. I used about a heaping cup of peanut butter -- you can use more or less to suit your taste. Spoon marshmallow creme evenly over the peanut butter and spread with offset spatula or back of a spoon. It doesn't have to be perfect, so don't worry if it smears a little. Top surface evenly with cr...
