Welcome to our site

At the beginning of the year 2012, Carey and I went on a low-carb diet. Now notice, I didn't say no carb diet. Low-carb. We have lost weight, which we are greatly happy about. And we have begun cooking a lot more than what we had been doing. There are TONS of receipes online and I recently bought a huge cookbook that we can't wait to break in to.

Posted are the receipes we try. Some we like, some we don't. As we try them, I will post them for you to try. We do hope you like them and like the idea of low-carbs.

Sloppy Joe Pie

This was okay.  It had too much of a mayo taste so when I make it again, I will probably use 1/4 cup of mayo instead of a 1/2 cup. The meat mixture was very good.   3 stars 

1 pound ground beef
1/3 cup onion (I used the frozen kind)
2 stalks celery, minced (I didn't use this)
1 clove garlic (I used the jar kind)
1/2 cup tomato sauce
2 teaspoons granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup heavy cream (I used half n half)
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded

Brown the hamburger with the onion, celery and garlic; drain the fat.  Add the tomato sauce, Splenda, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper.  Mix well and let simmer, uncovered, about 10 minutes or so just to blend the flavors.  Put the meat mixture in the bottom of a greased glass pie plate; mix in about half the cheese.  Spread the remaining cheese over the top.  Beat the eggs in a small bowl and whisk in the mayonnaise and cream.  Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes until nicely browned.  Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
