I had to get the yearly checkup last week. My blood sugar blood test that the doctor runs was really under control, so he took me off of the insulin shots. Of course I already knew that because my home tests were so good I haven't had to get a shot in ages since I have been on the Atkins diet. My Cholesterol was great this time too.
Now, I was wondering if you have a low carb bread recipe that doesn't call for too many weird ingredients? I have All purpose, self-rising, Vital wheat gluten, spelt, and Atkins baking mix (soy) flours. I also have oat bran and all bran cereal. I have a bread machine but I would rather get my hands into it.
Jayne that is so wonderful to hear, I'll bet the Doctor was as thrilled as you were at the results. I couldn't be happier for you.. I have the bread recipes for you and I will ping you when I get them formated and posted.. Standing ovation!!! HUG
COQ AU VINI pilfered this baby from Gourmet some years back. Prepare this classic dish in your microwave in less than 45 minutes :)
- 2 slices of lean bacon
- 10 pearl onions
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 mushrooms, cut into 1/4 inch slices
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup dry red wine
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- a pinch of dried thyme
- 1 whole skinless boneless chicken breast (about 3/4 pound), halved
- cooked rice as an accompaniment
1) Arrange the bacon on a double thickness of microwave-safe paper towels, top it with a double thickness of microwave-safe paper towels, and microwave it at high power (100%) for 2 minutes. Let the bacon cool and crumble it coarse.
2) In a microwave-safe baking dish combine the pearl onions with a tablespoon water and microwave them, covered with a microwave-safe lid, at high power (100%) for 1 minute. Transfer the onions to a bowl, let them cool, and peel them.
3) In the dish microwave the chopped onion and the garlic in the butter, covered with the lid, at high power (100%), stirring after 2 minutes, for 5 minutes.
4) Add the mushrooms, the broth, the wine, the Worcestershire sauce, the thyme, and salt and pepper to taste and microwave the mixture, covered with lid, at high power (100%) for 10 minutes.
5) Add the chicken, the bacon, and the pearl onions, baste them with the cooking liquid, and microwave the mixture, covered with the lid, for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve the mixture with the rice.
Serves 2.
