Cream Cheese Pancakes

An old recipe that I'm bringing back.

Honey and I are trying really hard to loose weight and I have been craving pancakes. Last night I though about this recipe and woke up anticipating them, they are so good!

Now I add:
2 TBLS of Gluten Free Bisquick to the mix just to give them a little more firmness.

Cream Cheese Pancakes

Ingredients:

2 oz cream cheese

2 eggs

1 packet splenda sweetener
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Blend all ingredients until smooth.  Let rest for 2 minutes so the bubbles can settle.  Pour 1/4 of the batter into a hot pan greased with butter or pam spray.  Cook for 2 minutes until golden, flip and cook 1 minute on the other side.  Repeat with the rest of the batter.  Serve with sugar free syrup (or any syrup of your choice) and fresh berries.

I ate mine with Strawberry Fig Syrup sooo good!

About This Recipe

While deciding what to bake for Thanksgiving I always ask the family what they want. Honey's favorite pie is apple so of course he asked for one. I looked at several apple pie recipes I had on hand but found this one at food.com and decided that I wanted to try it.

It was sugar free but NOT gluten free so I asked Honey to be honest and let me know what he thought. Obviously he bragged on it a lot because my Dad came in for a piece to see what Honey was talking about.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Splenda sugar substitute
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 5 granny smith apples, peeled and sliced
• 1 golden delicious apple, peeled and sliced
• 1 tablespoon butter, cut up
• 1 (15 ounce) packages of pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts

Directions

1. Prepare piecrusts according to package directions, fit 1 piecrust into 9 inch pie plate.
2. Stir together Splenda, flour cinnamon mixture.
3. Stir and coat apples with flour sugar mixture, pour into pie plate, dot with pieces of butter.
4. Place remaining pie crust on top, crimp edges and make slits in top crust or pierce evenly with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes.
6. Makes 8 servings.

So since going sugar free this will be our new apple pie recipe and maybe next time I'll use a gluten free pie crust and cornstarch in place of flour so I can try it.

I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving we sure did!

Low Carb, Low Sugar Meatloaf

Meatloaf is one of our comfort foods and when Honey had to go sugar free I was bummed because all of my meatloaf recipes have brown sugar in them!

I craved a good meatloaf for awhile before attempting to make one. I pulled up low carb meatloaf and used several ideas to come up with my own. Some stuff theirs with different cheeses and prosciutto but that's just not us. When I make a meatloaf I want peas and cornbread or mashed potatoes (another thing I'm not able to cook).

So here goes my new meatloaf recipe.

I forgot to take a photos, sorry I'll add one at a later date!

Low Carb, Low Sugar Meatloaf

Tomato Topping:

1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
1/4 cup sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
2 teaspoons white vinegar or water
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Add Too:

2 pounds ground chuck (may use meat loaf mix with ground pork)
2 eggs

1/4 cup cornflakes, just to help hold the shape

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 1 hr and 15 min.

Mix the topping first and set to the side. Combine the meatloaf, eggs and cornflakes well then add on half of the tomato topping. Shape and place on grill pan and place in oven.

When your meatloaf begins to brown add the remaining tomato topping. Enjoy

Honey's sugar is a little better now, they have increased his insulin and he goes back to the doctor in six weeks. In time and with answered prayers we know he'll be just fine. And with many attempts I will conquer sugar free cooking as well!

My first recipe to try in our new gluten/sugar free home.

These cookies are not bad to be sooo healthy! I really enjoy them slightly warm with a glass of cold milk. They don't have the consistency of a normal cookie you just have to think of them as a healthy gluten/sugar free snack!

It seems like this will be our new norm around here, so stay tuned new recipes are on the way!
