Atkins Recipes: Mock Danish

I performed my first low carb cooking demonstration and showed the world the wonders of the mock danish. Mock danishes were one of the new comfort foods that I learned how to cook and was used to kill cravings that threatened the diet early on. Some qualifications for Kent’s comfort foods were it had to be both easy and quick to make, and it could not have a lot of ingredients to prep. Most of the recipes, I will be demonstrating have my seal of approval for taste and ease in preparation.

Here is the Mock Danish recipe:
2 oz Cream Cheese, softened
1 egg
1.5 - 2 tsp Splenda (**count against artificial sweetener count for the day)
1/2 tsp Vanilla
1 TBS Ground Flax meal (optional)

Topping
1 TBS Butter
.5 tsp Splenda
Dash Cinnamon

Atkins Diet Recipes: Fauxtatoes

My second cooking show on how to make low carb comfort foods. Fauxtatoes are a great dish to have at Thanksgiving or for those who typically have to fight to get their veggies. A couple of my kids and my wife even make cameo appearances in this video. It’s the least I can do for all the taste testing I make them endure as I try new recipes. My non-low-carbing family members even like this recipe as an alternative to starchy mashed potatoes.

Try this recipe; I think it’ll be a hit with you as well!

Recipe:
1 Head Cauliflower
2.5 TBS Butter
1/3 cup Heavy Cream
1 Chicken Bouillon cube
1 tsp salt
White pepper to taste

Directions:
* Cook Cauliflower until fork tender. Drain well.

* Place cooked cauliflower and other ingredients (crush bouillon cube first) into the food processor. Run on high until consistency of mashed potatoes. You may need to scrape the sides of the bowl a couple times to prevent lumps.
