[QUOTE

Good morning Vince, it looks like you are enjoying your kitchen duties and getting your hands dirty. I like the look of the rock cakes and will have to try making them myself.
I was looking to see if I had a photo of steak and Avocado, but couldn't find one. (I often take photos of meals to remind myself of attempts that worked or went awry)
Steak, grilled to within an inch of its life, avocado, mashed with garlic and spring onion, lemon and or lime to taste. Maybe red peppers and tomatoes (roasted or raw) with green veg or salad.

Thanks Benny.
Enjoying kitchen duties not quite how I would describe it lol. The rock cakes with cheese are suprisingly nice and I prefer them to the sweet version.
I like my steaks rare if not blue and I have some large avocados here will try that tonight. Will get some spring onions from mMorrisons later when I got to pick up my Amazon deliveries.
Thanks for replying Benny, appreciate it.🙂

Chocolate Traybake
Serves 12
Ingredients
3 large eggs
40g inulin
15g cocoa powder
36g coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
70g dark chocolate (80% or higher)
1 tbsp coconut oil
Method
Preheat oven to 190c (170c fan) and grease an 8x11 inch baking tin
Separate eggs and whisk whites until stiff, in another bowl whisk yolks and sieve in cocoa, coconut flour and baking powder
gently and gradually fold in the egg whites
very slowly add small amounts of inulin and mix in gently
pour into prepared tin, smooth over and bake for around 18 minutes
transfer to a wire rack to cool, while cooling melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave stopping and stirring regularly until completely melted (@Vince_UK take note of stopping and stirring regularly 😉), pour evenly over the sponge and place in the fridge to allow chocolate to set

Sorry Sally I'm afraid I cant remember and I've deleted the bookmark, if using a laptop or whatever why not just copy the text and paste and save it as a document? or quickly jot it down, that's what I've been doing with the ones that take my interest xx

this looks expensive Vince....how much is it with postage?

I bought a few things Sally including low carb rolls. It was arounnd £4.90
 
Well I have to say these low carb cheese scones are really very nice and also they do not dry out and are much more moist than the sweet ones. Just like the real McCoy.
Defo going to make more of these next week.

Benny these rolls are a doddle to make...all the ingredients are mixed in one go...there is no kneading...just mix & pour into the baking tins/trays...prove for forty minutes...then into the oven 20 mins at 190c...they're ready...as I have said before the hardest part is getting the ingredients...I have to have bread...these are a great substitute for the LIDL rolls that are no longer made...if you miss bread...give these a go...easy peasy. honest...at 4.7g of carbs each perfect for me & those of us low carbing.

Just going through all this thread Bubbsie. These sounds lovely. Must give them a try. I have been a bit lazy with cooking since the sun came out almost permanently!! so must get back to it. I have never enjoyed my food so much since I joined this Forum,

I particularly like these because all the ingredients are put in the mixing bowl together...then just a good mix...no kneading...prove for forty minutes...shove it in the oven...I made one on Monday...still have some left...you can make it in a loaf tin & slice it...about 15 slices...or in the large muffin tray when the muffins are done I slice them up into three...the perfect size to take a beef burger...as easy as they are I'm not sure I'll ever convince Vince to make them:D

It’s just a hassle on IPad to do this, Thing is all these recipes are getting lost in the thread. I don’t understand why it’s so hard to post in recipe folder where everyone can see them

I have posted all the recipes I've posted here in the recipe section Sally I think:confused:...I do prefer to post in the low carb baking thread here as it's specifically for baking plus there's space for photographs & some commentary...I think most of the ones you've asked for (from me) have been posted there...if you have missed out on some let me know and I'll post them there for you.

Good Vince...I'm definitely going to give them a try based on that recommendation.

Confession time...yesterday I made some of @Mark Parrott 's tortilla nachos recipe...they came out fairly dark but tasted okay...just realised I used half a cup of glucomannan instead of vital wheat gluten😱...oops...I hope I didn't put any one off they were very dark...needless to say I will be trying the recipe again today...with ALL the right ingredients.
