Bacon Broccoli Cheddar Crustless Quiche Recipe Review

Image
  Do you get sick of eating the same old thing for dinner? I surely do. As I was looking in the frig for some dinner inspiration, I found I had some leftover broccoli and some eggs. So I thought maybe Quiche would do the trick. I went to the trusty interweb and there were lots of recipes and they looked good, but I didn't have all the ingredients on hand.  Plus, I wanted a crustless recipe since my husband is trying not to eat so much gluten.  I came across this recipe, Bacon Broccoli Cheddar Crustless Quiche .  This recipe makes the quiche high protein and low carb.  If you are watching your sugars, as I am, that is exactly what you need to eat. Amazingly I had all the ingredients.  That narrowed down how I choose the recipe.  I did add a bit of onion which was not on the list.   Since my broccoli was fresh, I put a little butter, chopped onion, and the broccoli in a pan and cooked it until the broccoli was cooked a little.  I al...

Carbquik Biscuits Recipe Review with Kayla

Image
We have Kayla, as our guest writer this week, giving her review of a biscuit recipe using Carbquik.  Sometimes I get a craving for bread and butter. While butter is low-carb, the bread usually isn’t. When I found Carbquik, I just knew I had to give it a try. Carbquik is not considered clean keto, but it’s perfect for low-carb and lazy keto diets. I’ve never made proper biscuits, only drop biscuits, and these are a good compromise between drop and cut biscuits. They mix up quickly with the help of a food processor and just need to be formed in your hands.   My biscuits were a bit crumbly, which is probably an indication that I should’ve added more heavy cream, but they browned beautifully and had a decent texture. Warm, with a pat of butter, they were pretty good.   I will have to do some experimentation to get the perfect biscuits, but this recipe was a good starting point. I made 6 instead of 8 and baked them in the convection oven for 8 minutes.   Overall, 3.5 star...
