Biscuts and Gravy

This morning I decide it might be fun to try and make a substitute for biscuts and gravy.

I made some 1 Min Muffins that I had found on the Stella site.
The took 2 minutes for me and I did not think they needed the salt.

Together it is a bit high you would have to watch it the rest of the day.
Total of 11.5 carbs and 374 calories
I would have been just as happy 1 a half muffin and half the gravy.






1 Min Muffins


3 T Almond Flour
1 T Flax meal
1 Beaten Egg
1/4 t salt ( I will leave it out in the future)
1/4 t baking powder

Cook for 1-2 min in small bowl on high in microwave.
According to my calculations the muffin has 6.5 Carbs and 220 cals

Margot's Gravy
1 T butter
1 T minced garlic
1 C unsweetened Almond Milk
1 t corn starch
4oz cream cheese sliced
1 T low sodium soy sauce
I added some chopped up sausage too.

Heat skilit with butter and minced garlic,
Add corn starch
then stir in Almond milk - stir constantly and add cheese and soy sauce
When all the cheese has milted you are ready to serve.
Total Recipe has 19.3 carbs and 613 calories
I divided it by 4 for the photo above carbs would be 5 and calories 154

Checking In

I'm checking in - I have been trying to post and blog regularly at www.stellastyle.com and have not gotten over here as often as I would like.

I had a wonderful low carb birthday. Cai and Marco made wonderful low carb cheese cake. It was so yummy. I would have loved to have had another piece the following day but unfortunatly our dog April May decided to help herself. I suppose she saved me some calories.

I am setting myself to have a wonderful low carb holiday season. Last year I thought I could take a low carb vacation and it took me many months to get back on track. So as a result I am having to re loose some of what I had previously lost. I did learn from the whole episode.
I know I can't think of this as a diet where I will cross over some goal and be able to go back to the old ways of eating. I have to make this work for the long haul.

So far so good. I've lost 15lbs since mid August.
