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...

Low Carb Simple Sandwich Bread from Cooking for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet cookbook with Kayla. Kayla, Rhonda's lovely assistant, gives her review of this recipe and she’s not holding anything back. If it’s not obvious by the title that she thinks the recipe is a FAIL.  Here are the ingredients and directions if you’d like to take a stab at making it.  ¾ cup nut butter (almond, cashew, etc.) 4 eggs 1 tablespoon honey ¼ cup finely ground nut flour ¼ teaspoon baking soda ¼ teaspoon salt Preheat oven to 350. In a bowl, use a spatula or mixer to blend the nut butter, eggs, and honey until creamy. Add the remaining dry ingredients to the batter and blend until creamy. Pour the batter into a baking pan. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Let cool and slice. Seal and store at room temperature for a few days, in the refrigerator for a few weeks, or in the freezer for a month or so. ******************************************...
