The Hunt For Low Carb Stuffing

Keto Primal Stuffing

I can’t wait to try this Keto Primal Thanksgiving Stuffing from the Keto Diet Blog — an awesome site you should visit! Fingers are crossed that this is the year of awesome low carb stuffing for our Turkey Day celebration. Image from Keto Diet Blog.

Typically my husband and I celebrate Thanksgiving with friends and have our own low carb Turkey Day over the weekend. This year is no different. This Thursday I will be eating more carbs than normal. But it is the holiday, so I’m not stressing over it. What I am stressing over is finding a low carb stuffing recipe to make on Saturday.

For the last few years I’ve tried different recipes, and they turned into disasters. The “bread” – made from almond OR hazelnut flours – always turned out too heavy, lumpy, or grainy. Also, it tasted like a mock stuffing. Not really what I was going for.

I’m beginning to think low carb stuffing is just a myth – an urban legend we low carbers spread from forum to forum. It’s as elusive as the sasquatch, or my husband’s clothes actually making it into the hamper… Read More

This morning I tried a new recipe — the Paleo Sausage Egg Mcmuffin. I just replaced the sausage with bacon and, at the hubby’s urging, placed everything on Oopsie bread. So that added 1.2g of net carbs to my morning meal. Not a big deal as it was delicious.

My Love Of Breakfast Sandwiches
I spent many mornings pulling up to a McDonald’s drive-thru window collecting a Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit or an Egg McMuffin (always with a large OJ). I was just too rushed in the mornings to make a healthy meal at home. Or so I told myself. So I got fatter and made McDonald’s richer. Smart! Read More

Oopsie! Bread Is Back On My Menu

Low-carb, delicious and easy to make. Faux bread never tasted so good. For my Weight Watchers peeps, you could try making them with low-fat or fat-free cream cheese to knock a point off.

One thing about going low carb is that my husband misses hamburger buns. He just loves ’em. So this weekend I turned my mad baking skills loose on Oopsies. I’ve heard about Oopsies and it just didn’t make sense. A nearly zero carb “bread” made from cream cheese and eggs…really?

Ugh! Why didn’t I bake these sooner? They taste soooo good. And they are a perfect replacement for buns (hamburger or hot dog) or wraps. Heck, I used one this morning as a faux taco shell to hold my scrambled eggs and salsa.

For those of you on Weight Watchers, 1 Oopsie is worth 2 points.  Considering I haven’t had a hamburger bun for nearly 2 years, I don’t have a problem with putting my points towards Oopsies once or twice a week. If that is too high for you, try using either a low-fat or fat-free cream cheese to knock off a point. I just can’t guarantee it will taste as good. Read More
