Keto Flex Recipe: Salted Almond Butter Cup Snack

This is a Keto Flex SNACK, which means it doesn't actually work as a lunch, but if you can stop at one or two of these delicious little salted almond cups, you will have energy and burn off some fat.

Of course I had planned to make some peanut butter snacks, but I found out that the recipe I had called for "peanut flour" which I did NOT have, so....

I DID have an untried, unopened jar of a powder called PB & Me Powdered Almond Butter. Since its original use is as an almond butter, but it is also a powder (as in flour?) so I thought... well, you know.... recipe experiment time! (You can still use the plain old almond butter if you want)

I am happy to say that the recipe worked out just fine! Yummy-licious in fact.

WHAT YOU NEED FOR THIS RECIPE:

Parchment Paper Liners or candy cups
2 Muffin Tins
9-10 oz. dark chocolate (I used Lily's Dark Chocolate Chips- 1x9 OZ )
3 T. Coconut Oil (divided in 2 for the chocolate layers)
2 tsp. Coconut Oil for the Almond layer
4 T. Powdered Almond Butter (OR 3 1/2 T. regular Almond Butter & 1 1/2 tsp. Almond Flour)
1/8 tsp. Almond Extract (optional)
Pinch + Celtic Sea Salt

METHOD:

Line muffin tins with parchment cups or candy cups

For the bottom chocolate layer, pour boiled water in a medium size container and place a thick glass bowl in the water. Add 1/2 the chocolate chips and 1 1/2 T. of Coconut Oil. Stir until melted and smooth. Make sure not to get any water from outer bowl into melted chocolate mix. (Alternatively, you may want to melt the chocolate and coconut oil in the Microwave).

Fill the bottom of the cups (about =/- 1 1/2 tsp.) evenly with melted chocolate. Put into freezer for about 10 minutes.

While the bottom chocolate layer is in the freezer, pour out the medium size bowl and replace boiling water and a clean bowl. Add in Almond Butter Powder and 2 T. Coconut Oil. You may desire to add in some powdered erythitol or powdered stevia (to taste) although the almond powder does contain sweetener. Mix until coconut oil is melted and powder is blended in and smooth. Add a pinch of celtic sea salt and the Almond extract, if using. (Prepare almond butter, almond flour, coconut oil, etc. in much the same way if that is what you are using).

Retrieve the bottom layer of chocolates from the freezer. On each chocolate disk add about 1 teaspoon of Almond Butter mix.

Return to the freezer again for another 10 minutes

Prepare the rest of the chocolate mix as per the first instructions (#1 above). When Almond Butter is fully set, add the rest of the chocolate to each of the cups. Return to the freezer for another 30 minutes.

Store the cups in the refrigerator (if they last that long). Makes about 12-15 cups with each cup hving about 180 calories/ Fat: 17g / Total Carbs 15 g/ Net Carbs 2 g/ fibre 1g/ (estimation)

The Lemon-Garlic Mixture Recipe that Chris Wark (Chris Beat Cancer) Recommends

My husband and I are both over 70, and while we have the odd age-expected ache or pain or fallen hair or swollen ankles or whatever, we have avoided many of the BIG Diseases: Heart Disease, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Arthritis, Cancer-- but we have had family with these diseases and there is a good chance that we will have something like this hit at some time. That is the way of the world these days, is it not? So, to be proactive and preventative, we believe that "Food is Our Medicine" and we adhere to a Whole Food/Plant-Based way of eating. We also watch a lot of those health seminars that mesh with our way of thinking that plants/herbs are the answer-- or at least our first rule of order when we feel ill. We loved the Chris Beat Cancer series because, well, who wouldn't? Chris is a charming young man with a friendly, compassionate mission to help others learn about how they too can beat cancer without (or only as a sideline) chemo or radiation. In his Square

Unveiling the Truth: A Critical Review of The Way - 2X2s and Church With No Name

Recently I was struck by a newspaper article about a woman in her 40s, Lyndell Montgomery, who had been part of the religious sect called 2 X 2 s or "The Way" or even "The Church with No Name". Montgomery had recently charged a leader/ministering member of the 2x2s with child sexual abuse that happened when she was 14. She lives on the Island that we live on (maybe even in our community). I am interested in the diversity of memoirs by people who were spiritually abused. And I have some scattered recollections of knowing people who were part of this particular sect. I have a blog page listing more than 25 books that I have read about spiritual abuse . In the eye-opening little book, shown above, we delve into the dark reality of spiritual abuse within "The Way," an enigmatic organization also known as 2X2s or Church Without A Name. Through research and firsthand accounts, the book exposes the damaging effects of spiritual manipulation within The Way. R

Soft Whole Wheat Bread Made In the Crockpot

Quite a few years ago a friend told me about making a loaf of bread in her crockpot. It was all the rage where she lived. I didn't really engage. It didn't seem particularly interesting, to say the least. But over this time since the Pandemic and all the baking ventures that went with that, I have become more interested in making quick, tasty, healthy bread-- just a small loaf for my husband and I, made in one of our small appliances to save energy (and because my elderly oven is currently out of commission). YOUTUBE IS THE PLACE TO GO FOR TUTORIALS ON BREAD-MAKING After I had made some delicious bread in my small oven, I thought about my friend's description of making crockpot bread. I found that there are quite a few recipes and demos on YT. The one I chose to most closely emulate made the process look very easy, even using a blender (I think) to make the dough, and just feeding in 1/4 cup of flour (3 times) when the recipe didn't seem to work out as planned and
