This is an interesting cookbook written by an actual weight loss
surgery patient that also is a chef. The recipes are easy and call
(mostly) for few ingredients.
Wings of Addiction
2 pounds chicken wings
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (Regiano is best)
1 tablespoon dried Parsley
1 Tablespoon Garlic Parsley Salt
2 Teaspoons Paprika
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
first, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the wings up into little drumsticks. (reserve
the tips for soup) Then combine the grated Parmesan cheese and all of
the seasonings. Line a shallow baking pan with foil. Melt the butter in
a bowl or pan. Dip each "drummette"
in butter, roll in the seasoned cheese, and arrange in the foil lined
pan. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. This recipe yields 8 servings (275
calories) of 3 drumsticks and only 1 gram ofcarbs.
Maple Chicken
4 chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless
3/4 cup sugar free pancake syrup
2 teaspoons mustard
1 1/4 teaspoons dried Herbs De Provence (or dried Tarragon)
cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise into six strips. Combine syrup, mustard and Tarragon
in a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken and swish around in bag.
Refrigerate 4 hours and up to overnight. When ready to serve, heat oven
to 350 degrees. Thread strips on metal or soaked bamboo skewers.
Arrange
on a broiler pan and bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through. This
recipe yields 10 servings of 2 skewers (100 calories)
Cinnamon Cheese Spread
8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 3/4 teaspoons Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
2 tablespoons Splenda
whip all ingredients together with an electric blender on medium speed until thoroughly mixed and smooth. Store in sealable container for up to three weeks. Use to spread on your favorite low carb crackers, low carb tortillas ,or slather on warm crepe's. This recipe yields 10 servings (135 calories) and 1 carb per serving.
Herbed Scrambled Eggs
1 tbs butter
4 eggs
1 1/2 tbs cream
1/4 tsp salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 tsp fresh tarragon, parsley or chives, thyme (or a combination)
melt
butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. pour in the eggs.
Cook 1 minute without stirring. With a wooden spoon or heat resistant
rubber spatula, gently turn the eggs from bottom to top, scraping
around all edges. Eggs should not brown. When eggs form soft, creamy
small curds, add herbs; turn onto warm plates and serve immediately. This recipe yields 4 servings (105 calories)
Crepes-Savory
6 eggs
3 tbs water
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 cup almond flour
combine eggs, salt, pepper, and water in a bowl and whisk thoroughly. Add Almond flour and mix in thoroughly
until smooth. let rest in the refrigerator for 3 hours or over night so
the flour will completely absorb the liquid. Before cooking, whisk
again. In a non stick fry pan, spoon some batter in the middle and
spread out to make a thin layer so you have a crepe about 6-8 inches
across. Use a thin spatula to turn crepe when done. Lift out of pan and
place on a dish. Continue the process until all batter is cooked

It's Almost French Toast
1/2 bag unflavored Pork Rinds
2 eggs
1/3 cup heavy cream
4 packets of Splenda
3/4 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp sugar free egg nog syrup (optional)
crumble
pork rinds up until they resemble bread crumbs. Set aside. Beat eggs
well and then mix with remaining ingredients and beat again. Add
crushed pork rinds to the egg/cream mixture and allow to sit for approx
5 minutes. Mixture will thicken to a "gloppy" phase during this time.
Meanwhile, heat skillet or griddle with batter or oil, and when hot,
fry pancake style until golden brown on both sides. Serve with your
favorite lowcarb sugar free maple syrup.
Extremely important note;
The pork rinds must be a good brand with an extremely bland taste.
Rinds that are super crunchy don't work well for this. It's also
important that they be very well crushed-just a step above dust. Also
remember to let it, really get to its "gloppy" phase and don't rush it.
