    I'm making my grocery list for tonight and since I start P3 tomorrow I need to make sure I have everything I need to survive! Is there a website or something that I can find recipes and/or get an idea of the things I can eat and should keep on hand at home?

    I have a few saved let me post them:

    Cauliflower Rice
    •1 head cauliflower (or however much you want)
    Preparation:
    To make this dish the most easily and to have it come out the best, three pieces of equipment are very helpful:

    - A food processor
    - A microwave
    - A covered (or fairly tightly coverable) microwave-safe dish

    Process fresh cauliflower until it is the size of rice, either using the plain steel blade or the shredder blade. Alternatively, you can shred it with a hand-held grater, or even use a knife, if you have the dexterity to chop it up VERY finely.

    Microwave it in a covered dish. DO NOT ADD WATER. Cauliflower absorbs water like crazy, and the "granules" will become gummy. To keep it fluffy, just let the moisture in the cauliflower do its work.

    Cauliflower Pizza Crust
    1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower* (I use raw cabbage run through the food processor instead)
    1 egg
    1 cup mozzarella cheese
    1/2 tsp fennel
    1 tsp oregano
    2 tsp parsley

    **tomato paste (add Italian seasonings) toppings (make sure meats are cooked)
    mozzarella cheese
    Preheat oven to 450 degrees F
    Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray.
    In a medium bowl, combine cauliflower, egg and mozzarella. Press evenly on the pan. Sprinkle evenly with fennel, oregano and parsley. Bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes (15-20 minutes if you double the recipe). Remove the pan from the oven. To the crust, add sauce, then toppings and cheese. Place under a broiler (grill for the Europeans) at high heat just until cheese is melted **.

    Deep Dish
    4oz cream cheese
    4 eggs
    1/4 cup parmesan cheese
    1/3 c. heavy cream
    1/2 t oregano
    2 c. shredded Italian cheese (mozzarella, romano, parm mix - or your choice)
    1/2 t wet garlic or 1/4 t powder
    1/4 c. tomato sauce
    1 c shredded mozzerella cheese
    pepperoni, onion, mushrooms (any toppings)

    Beat cream & eggs til smooth. Add cream, parmesan and spice. Spray 9" galss baking dish with Pam. Put 2 cups pizza cheese in dish and pour egg mixture over. "Squish" around to mix. Bake at 375 for 30 min. Spread on pizza sauce, sprinkle on mozzarelly and layer with toppings. Bake 10 more minutes until bubbly and brown.

    Dressing
    I crumble blue cheese, then I put most of it in a bowl (reserve some to add after mixing) then I put sour cream and some softened cream cheese in the bowl, grind some pepper in there, and mix it with a mixer until it's all mixed well. If it's too stiff I add either half and half, cream or sour cream. If it's its to runny I add cream cheese. When it's the consistancy I like, I stir the remaining crumbled blue cheese in. It's best when it's put in the fridg for at least a couple of hours, over night is better.


    CLEOCHATRA’S BEST EVER REVOL-OOPSIE ROLLS
    3 large eggs
    1 packet of Splenda
    A dash of salt
    A pinch of cream of tartar
    3 ounces cream cheese (not Tbsp!) Do not soften!

    Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

    Separate the eggs and add Splenda, salt, and cream cheese to the yolks. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients together. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff (if you’re using the same mixer, mix the whites first and then the yolk mixture).

    Using a spatula, gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture, being careful not to break down the whites. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray and spoon the mixture onto the sheet, making 6 mounds. Flatten each mound slightly.

    Bake for about 30 minutes (You want them slightly softer, not crumbly). Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes, and then remove to a rack and allow them to cool.

    Storage and freezing:

    I store them in a Ziplock bag with the bag open partially (this way they breathe and don’t get too moist) and keep them in the fridge after the first day. Then, when you want to use them, take them out and set them on the counter for 15-30 minutes or until they are room temperature. This makes them more “dry” and less sticky.

    As for freezing, I tried freezing and they do freeze. This time you want to close the Ziplock when storing (I only store two per bag). To thaw, let them rest on the counter until room temperature in the bag with the bag open. When they’re close to room temperature, set them outside of the bag so that they can “dry” out slightly for use.

    Uses with almond flour here are some recipes:

    Pecan Apple Bread:
    1 egg, beaten
    2 cups almond flour
    1/2 cup pecan flour
    1 or 2 ripe apples, cooked and pureed
    1 tsp baking soda
    1/4 tsp salt
    filtered water, enough to give the mixture a muffin batter consistency.

    Beat all ingredients together. Pour into a long and narrow loaf tin, lined with paper and well-greased with butter or olive oil. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes then 160 degrees C for half an hour or until middle of loaf springs back when lightly pushed. Cool completely.

    Almond loaf:
    3 1/2 cups almond flour
    3 eggs
    1/4 cup melted butter
    1 tsp. baking soda
    1 cup yogurt
    1/4 tsp. salt

    Mix together all ingredients, transfer to greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 F (180 C) for about 45 minutes. you’ll have to test to see when it’s done. Let it cool for quite a long time before removing from pan so it doesn’t flop.


    Almond sandwich bread:
    1/4 cup yogurt
    4 eggs
    2 cups almond flour
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp baking soda

    1.Mix all ingredients together with electric mixer until smooth (about 1 min).
    2.Heat electric griddle to 275 F, grease with Pam.
    3.Pour about 1/4 cup of batter (depending on the size of bread you want) and cook 4 mins on EACH side.
    4.Reomve with spatula and place on cooling racks.
    5.To store, place between wax paper and store in fridge.

    Almond Pie Crust:
    1 1/2 cups almond meal or almond flour
    3 tablespoons melted butter
    Artificial sweetener equal to 3 tablespoons sugar

    1.Heat oven to 350 F.
    2.Melt the butter and mix the ingredients up in a pie pan and pat into place with your fingertips.
    3.Bake for about 10 minutes until the crust begins to brown. After 8 minutes, check every minute or so, because once it starts to brown it goes quickly.

    Pancakes:
    1 cup almond flour
    2 eggs
    1/4 cup water
    1 tsp baking powder
    2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
    1/4 tsp salt
    Stevia to taste

    Directions:
    Mix all ingredients in bowl.
    Cook in nonstick pan - there may be no bubbles like regular pancakes, so turn when underside is light brown.
    Serve with butter and sugar free syrup.

    Option: add pecans

    Almond Biscuits/Cookies:
    1 tbsp coconut flour
    1 tbsp almond flour
    3 tbsp coconut oil
    .25 tsp baking powder
    pinch salt
    .5 tsp stevia or other sweetener
    2 eggs
    .5 tsp almond essence
    whipping cream or milk to mix

    Mix dry ingredients together
    Add oil and eggs
    Coconut flour absorbs the liquid very quickly so add cream or milk until a soft dropping consistency is reached.
    Drop spoonfuls onto a non-stick baking sheet
    Cook at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy
    Makes about 9 patties.

    You could add a few sliced almonds to the top before cooking or you could add some desiccated coconut to the mix. These come out quite heavy. I haven't yet mastered the blend to make them a bit lighter. But they are quite tasty and great when you need something filling.

    1-minute Muffin Recipe!
    1/4 cup flax meal or almond flour
    1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
    1 packet Splenda
    1 teaspoon Cinamon
    1 Egg
    1-2 teaspoons Butter

    Mix the dry ingredients in a large coffe cup. Add egg and butter; mix well. Microwave for 50-seconds to 1-minute. Muffin pops right out.
    You can make your own almond flour by grinding some almonds in a small coffee grinder

    I took 2 different recipes I found on here and combined them. Tastes great, won't set up. I need advice! :)
    Here's what I did:
    3 TBLS butter
    3 TBLS heavy whipping cream
    (Instead of 6 TBLS butter OR whipping cream)
    6 TBLS xylitol
    3 TBLS cocoa
    a TINY bit ( like 1/8 tsp ) vanilla

    I doubled it on purpose because my kids steal all my food. I make some AWESOME fudge at Christmas time and to get rid of the gritty, I put it on the oven for a bit to dissolve the sugar and cocoa. I didn't get it to boiling, just warmed it on low while everything dissolved together. I also only used 3 TBLS cocoa instead of doubling it to 6 because I wanted it to be a little more mild.

    Cocoa Crack = Equal parts Coconut oil/Butter and Cocoa, melt in pan stirring until smooth - pour on parchment and freeze. Therefore Crack.

    Cocoa Mousse = which I made this weekend. 2 parts heavy cream, 1 part cocoa, sweetner to taste, mix until just over the thickness of whipping cream. It's to die for, gets rid of the chocolate craving really fast. Don't get carried away with the cocoa, you can always add more cream if its to rich.


    Alfredo Sauce (Serve over your chicken and maybe some broccoli, no pasta necessary!)
    Ingredients
    1/4 cup butter
    1 cup heavy cream
    1 clove garlic, crushed
    1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
    Directions
    1.Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium low heat. Add cream and simmer for 5 minutes, then add garlic and cheese and whisk quickly, heating through. Stir in parsley and serve.

    Basil Cream Chicken (Again serve it along side one of your fav green veggies)
    Ingredients
    1/4 cup milk
    1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
    3 tablespoons butter
    1/2 cup chicken broth
    1 cup heavy whipping cream
    1 (4 ounce) jar sliced pimento peppers, drained
    1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
    1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
    Directions
    1. In a skillet over medium heat, fry chicken in butter or margarine, on both sides, until the juices run clear. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
    2.Add the broth to the skillet; bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir to loosen browned bits from pan. Stir in the cream and pimentos; boil and stir for one minute. Reduce heat; add the Parmesan cheese, basil and black pepper. Simmer and stir until heated through. To serve, pour the sauce over the chicken.


    Spaghetti Squash
    Ingredients
    1 spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
    2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    1 onion, chopped
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes
    3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
    3 tablespoons sliced black olives
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
    Directions
    1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
    2.Place spaghetti squash cut sides down on the prepared baking sheet, and bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a sharp knife can be inserted with only a little resistance. Remove squash from oven, and set aside to cool enough to be easily handled.
    3.Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic, and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, and cook only until tomatoes are warm.
    4.Use a large spoon to scoop the stringy pulp from the squash, and place in a medium bowl. Toss with the sauteed vegetables, feta cheese, olives, and basil. Serve warm.


    Humis
    150 grams cauliflower - riced (I used raw)(about 1/3 head)
    90 - 100 grams tahini
    3 - 4 T lemon juice
    3 cloves garlic
    1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
    1 tsp cumin
    1/8 tsp cayenne (again more or less to taste)
    You can add olive oil if you like about 2 T and would be more traditional, I'm not a huge fan so I didnt

    Blend in a blender, sprinkle with paprika and voila, humus



    Guess you can say I am prepared! LOL
