Try a New Recipe Tuesday- January 27

I hope those of you who are in the path of Snowmageddon on the East Coast are keeping safe and warm.  We are here.  Well, all except my hubby who works outside, but he has assured me that he is taking care of himself.

It is that time of the week again-- time to share your delicious recipes!

Baked Cauli-Tots

Tried these for the first time the other night and they were SO good.  So good, in fact, that they were a hit with the family.  (I didn't tell them that they were low-carb!)  :-)

Ingredients:

2 12-ounce bags of frozen cauliflower (I will use more next time as I think everyone wanted even more!)
Grated cheese (the original recipe called for Parmesan.  We had Picorini Romano in the house)
sea salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic to taste (the cauliflower I used had garlic already on it, so I didn't add any extra)

That is all the ingredients!  Super simple with items you probably already have in the house.

Cook the cauliflower as per the instructions on the bag.  Mine called for about 6 minutes a bag in the microwave.  Pour off water.

Mash cauliflower.  Some use a food processor.  I just used good old muscle power and my potato masher.  Pour off water again if necessary. (Photo #1)

Add spices and mix well.

Form into tater tot shapes.  Roll into grated cheese then place them on your greased baking sheet. (Photo #2)

Place entire baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes. (they maintain their form when cooked better this way).  After this initial freezing period, you can place them in a freezer bag for storage up to a month if you aren't cooking them the same day. (Photo #3)

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.  Bake for 10 minutes (mine needed a bit more), rotating at 5 minutes for even browning. (I didn't rotate and they came out just fine) (Photo #4)

The best part?  Only 4 carbs for 6 tots!  And they taste really good, too.  They passed one of my teenager's taste tests, lol.

Hope you enjoy!

Almond Pancakes (low-carb)

I have been trying to eat healthier, and much to my chagrin, that means cutting back on carbs.  I found this recipe last week from popsugar.com, and with a modification or two, it was delicious.


Ingredients:
3 cups almond meal
1 tablespoon ground flaxmeal (I didn't have this on the day I made them and they turned out just fine)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 large eggs
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or light coconut milk (I used unsweetened coconut milk)
2 tablespoons extra-light olive oil, walnut oil, coconut oil or butter. (I used coconut oil)

In a medium bowl, combine the almond meal, flaxeed, salt and baking soda.  In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk and oil or butter and whisk thoroughly.  Gradually whisk the flour mixture into the egg mixture.  Add more milk as necessary one tablespoon at a time, to reach pancake batter consistency.

Lightly oil a skillet and heat over medium heat.  Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet.  Cook for three minutes, or until bubbles form and edges are cooked.  Flip and cook for three minutes or until underside is lightly browned.  Repeat with remaining batter.

Enjoy!  :-)

My Week in Review/Weekly Wrap-up/THMJ

It has been a great, but busy week here at the Home to 4 Kiddos.

There was schoolwork and online classes....

A visit to the PA Farm Show (the largest show of its kind in the country!)

It really is so much more than just farm animals (which the kids loved, btw.) There are hands-on exhibits, state history and everything we would want to learn about our state.  Did you know that Pennsylvania is #1 in the country for the production of mushrooms and in hardwoods?  We are #2 in the country in the Christmas tree industry.  Lots to learn.  Much, much fun and even better that we got to share it with good friends.

And, what would the week be without some home baked goodies?

On my blog this week:
