It’s another fabulous day for chatting about healthy low-carb living with our friends Mark Jeacoma and Tina Langston in Episode 398 of Low-Carb Conversations with Jimmy Moore & Friends! Our co-hosts Jimmy Moore and Mindy Noxon Iannotti packed in the conversation with their guest friends today discussing Paula Deen’s recent announcement that she has Type 2 diabetes, the misinformation that has been spread around out there about what causes diabetes (NEWSFLASH: it’s NOT the butter!), the New York Times column “The Fat Trap” by Tara Parker-Pope that says attempting weight loss is futile and Gary Taubes’ response to that column adding back in a bit of reality to the discussion. Plus, don’t miss our recipes at the end for delicious low-carb crackers and muffins made with flaxseeds! So pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee and let’s talk about it on the Virtual Porch gabbing away about the health headlines of the day from the low-carb perspective. NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: http://cmp.ly/3 LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 39 Recipe: Flaxseed Crackers from Tina Langston A great high fiber, crunchy, nutritious, and tasty snack. Good with dips, spreads, or plain. 1) Mix all ingredients together. 2) Spoon onto sheet pan which is covered with a silicone mat or greased parchment paper. 3) Cover the mixture with a piece of parchment or waxed paper. Even out the mixture to about 1/8 inch. I find a straight edge, like a ruler, works well, though you can use a rolling pin or wine bottle too. The important thing is not to let it be too thin around the edges or that part will overcook before the center firms up. So after you spread it out, remove the paper and go around the edges with your finger and push the thin part inwards to even it up. 4) Bake until the center is no longer soft, about 15-18 minutes. If it starts to get more than a little brown around the edges, remove from oven. Let cool completely – it will continue to crisp up. 5) Break into pieces. The whole recipe is 6 grams of effective carbohydrate plus 35 grams of fiber. Flaxseed Muffins from Tina Langston 3 eggs Beat eggs and other wet ingredients well. Add dry, mix to combine. Let the batter sit for about 5 mins. Spoon into 12 greased muffin tins, bake @ 350- for 12ish minutes… I overbake mine slightly… they are almost crunch when they first come out but then soften up a little bit – I eat these over a course of like 4-5 days so I dont like them to turn to total mush. I make these as mini muffins and freeze them as I would not want anyone eating the whole lot over a few days. Drink plenty of water when eating items made with flaxmeal. |

LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 38 - "Easy Ways To Reduce The Amount Of Fat In Your Diet" from the UK's "Change4Life" campaign Sugar-free, super simple, key lime mousse by Ash Sierra 1 small soft ripe avocado (about 9 Tablespoons) Toss everything except coconut oil in a blender (I use a magic bullet type thing for this) and blend! Finito! Be careful, you may eat the whole thing! If you put it in the fridge it will get much more solid.... Dutch oven fail safe beef roast recipe by Whitney Ross Ingredients: Beef roast Broth (I use my home made beef broth, but I have used mushroom or vegetable) 2 Bay leaves 3 -5 cloves Garlic 1 Onion Seasoning (I like Penzy's beef roast seasoning, 8th Wonder, Herbamare or just garlic powder, salt and pepper) Rendered lard, coconut oil, avacado oil, bacon fat Instructions Pre heat oven to 350 Heat oil in the dutch oven on medium high. (I have this dutch oven Costco Dutch oven but I wish I had this one Dream one )I use about 1/3 to 1/4 inch of oil. Season the beef which has been brought to room temperature by taking it out of the fridge for 15 minutes to an hour. (not totally important) brown the meat 4 minutes per side Turn the heat off, add the onion, bay leaves, garlic and broth. The broth should just cover the meat, there can be some meat sticking out of the top of the broth, but not a lot. Cover the pot and put it in the oven for 3 hours. Primal meatballs by Whitney Ross 3 lbs of grass fed ground beef Mix all the ingredients together except the oil and then make 1 meat ball and fry it in hot oil with the temperature on medium - medium low in the pan. Brown it on all sides, about 2 minutes each side. Try that meatball and see if you need to add anything to the mixture like more salt. We cook these in a really large stainless saute pan and cook them in batches of 6. Don't crowd the pan or they will not brown properly. Don't mix the meat and ingredients too much or it won't stay together in a ball. |

LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 36 Recipes: LC Cocoa by Alyssa Palomares INGREDIENTS OPTIONAL: INSTRUCTIONS: ************** Brownie Recipe adapted from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrfnNdylTlA Single-serving LC Brownie by Alyssa Palomares I should note that this recipe was intended for a toaster oven, but it can be adapted for a regular oven. The original recipe was supposed to be microwaved, but that might dry out the brownie. The texture is more like a cake instead of an authentic brownie, but I'm not sure how to fix that. Some people might consider it dull by itself, so feel free to give it a frosting, mix in some chocolate chips, put low carb ice cream on top - whatever you like! I wanted to give measurements for making multiple servings, but I'm not sure how that would affect the cooking time. I did increase the measurements to make two brownies once, but I don't remember how much I had to adjust the time or if I had to. Sorry if this is inconvenient! I know how inefficient it might be to heat up a regular oven for just one brownie. INGREDIENTS -3 tbsp butter OR coconut oil, softened - or you can use a mixture of both! INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a bowl, mix butter/coconut oil with the sweetener thoroughly. Add egg, and beat. Alternate between adding the coconut flour and coffee (in that order), 1 tbsp at a time. Add cocoa powder and vanilla extract, and mix thoroughly. Pour batter into a ramekin and put in the oven for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Alternatively, you can scoop the batter onto a cookie pan lined with aluminum foil to make pancakes. It might also work if you put the batter in a skillet, but I haven't tried that. |

Tossed Spice Chicken Thighs by Hunter Copeland
Ingredients: 1 pound of chicken thighs (works w/ chicken legs) dried rosemary sea salt black pepper garlic powder paprika melted butter or coconut oil Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Pat the chicken legs dry. Brush with either melted butter or coconut oil and sprinkle with each spice. You may vary them depending on your taste preferences. We have tried it with different spices and diffeent amounts. It is good regardless. Sage and rosemary work well. Bake the chicken in a shallow baking dish and when you notice liquid flowing from it, baste the droppings back over the top of the chicken. Also,this recipes isn't as good with breast meat. Use the fattier chicken parts -thighs or legs. http://www.huntingforhealth. |
