    Hey everyone. I have been following Maria Mind Body Health on Facebook-She has great recipes that will work with P3 and beyond. If your on FB you should definately follow her! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Maria-Mind-Body-Health/337393421445

    If your not of FB or even if you are I thought I would share some of the recipes I have copied over the past month or so from her:

    Strawberry Cupcakes:
    1 1/2 cups almond flour
    1/2 cup Jay Robb Whey Protein (I used strawberry flavor)
    1 cup Truvia (or 3/4 cup Erythritol and 1 tsp stevia glycerite)
    6 Tablespoons butter (or coconut oil)
    1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
    1 teaspoon strawberry extract
    5 eggs, separated
    2 teaspoons baking powder

    Preheat oven to 325. Whip egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff. In separate bowl, using electric mixer, cream butter with egg yolks until yellow and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and sweetener. Beat until well mixed. Add about 1/3 of the whipped egg whites to the butter/egg yolk mixture and mix lightly. Fold the whole thing into the whipped egg whites and fold lightly. Add 1 cup of the almond flour and fold lightly. Add remaining almond flour, whey protein, and baking powder and fold thoroughly, being careful not to break down whites. Fill paper muffin cups in muffin tin about half full. Bake 325 for about 15 to 20 minutes until cracked on top.

    Cream cheese Frosting:
    3 TBS Butter (I browned the butter first)
    3 TBS Cream Cheese
    A little vanilla almond milk (to make it spreadable)
    1/2 tsp stevia glycerite (to taste)
    Mix together and enjoy

    Chocolate Chip Cookies:
    1 stick butter
    1/4 cup Erythritol (Or Truvia)
    2 tsp stevia glycerite (omit if using Truvia)
    ...1 egg
    1 cup Blanched almond flour
    1/4 cup whey (unflavored or vanilla with no sugar)
    1 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp vanilla
    1 ChocoPerfection Bar (or Hershey sugar-free chocolate chips)

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix softened butter with sweetener, vanilla and egg. Mix almond flour with baking powder and whey. Slowly mix the wet ingredients with the dry. Add chopped chocolate and bake for 9 minutes at 350 degrees.See More

    Goldfish Crackers:
    • 1 1/2 cups of finely shredded cheddar cheese
    • 1 1/2 cups of almond flour
    • 1/4 teaspoon of iodized sea salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
    • about 3 tablespoons of cold water to hold the dough together

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Pulse all the ingredients (except for the water) together in a food processor or blender. Add the cold water to the dough, a bit at a time, until the mixture is holding together well enough to work into a ball or two. Separate into two balls of dough, and place each ball on a Silpat, parchment paper, or other non-stick surface (which you will transfer to a baking sheet). You can roll it all on one sheet, but I find it easy to do it on two sheets. And two sheets bake more evenly. Roll each dough ball out until flat and about 1/8 to 1/4 inch in thickness. Using a pizza cutter or knife, score the dough into squares, OR if you buy a Goldfish cookie cutter, that would be cutter (I don't have one, yet:). Bake for 25 minutes, or until crackers are browned. The darker, the crunchier. ***Note: even if you used whole wheat flour instead of almond flour, you would be doing your family a favor:)

    Coconut Flour Cake Donuts:
    Ingredients (makes about 8 donuts or cupcakes)
    1/2 cup of coconut flour
    1/4 teaspoon of sea salt
    1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
    6 eggs
    1/2 cup of Truvia(or other sweetener)
    1 tablespoon of vanilla
    1/2 cup of butter (or coconut oil)

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Blend all the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Blend in all the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until well-blended. Fill donut pan circles about 2/3 of the way full with batter. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Toasted coconut topping: Toast some unsweetened coconut flakes for about 5 minutes at 300 degrees F. Dip each donut in sugar free pancake syrup and then in the toasted coconut.

    BEEF-A-RONI:
    Here is a grain-free recipe for a classic. You'd never miss the noodles in this easy recipe:) I topped mine with some mozzarella cheese!
    1 1/2 lbs. ground hamburger
    1 med. onion, diced
    1/2 green pepper, diced
    Salt & pepper
    1 can of Hunt's No-Sugar Marinara sauce
    3 c. eggplant, cut into cubes
    1 clove of garlic, minced (optional)
    1 tbsp. parsley

    Peel and cube the eggplant into 1 in squares. Place in a skillet with marinara and garlic. Simmer for 10 minutes or until the eggplant is soft.

    Brown the hamburger, onion and green pepper in skillet. Drain off any excess fat. Add remaining ingredients. Cook over medium-low heat, covered, for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.


    Twice Baked Cauliflower:
    1 large head cauliflower
    4 oz. cream cheese
    2 T butter
    1/4 cup minced scallions or green onions
    1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    6 slices nitrate free bacon, cooked and cut into pieces
    1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (Never pre-shredded cheese)
    Sour Cream (for topping)

    Preheat oven to 350 F. Cut out stem and core from cauliflower, and cut into small pieces. Cook in large pot of boiling water until cauliflower is tender, but not overly soft. Drain well and mash with potato masher, leaving some chunks. Mix in cream cheese, butter, green onion, Parmesan, and 3/4 of the bacon. Spread evenly in an 8 X 8 inch glass casserole dish. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and reserved bacon. Bake 30-35 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream. Makes 6 servings.*If you really want to fool your family, pipe this into a hollowed out potato shell!

    Treebear, have you checked out the Carbsmart or Carbquik? I noticed those in several of the recipes and wonder if they are ok on P3 (I'm close and dying for some different food!!) I wonder too if you could just swap those out with almond or coconut flour. I definitiely plan to make those goldfish crackers!! Yum!
