For dinner, I wanted to make my usual turkey zucchini loaf, but it calls for a peach-Dijon mustard glaze, and I am out of peach jam and unlikely to get my hands on peaches to make more. I wondered if I could replace the peach jam with blackberry jam in the glaze. I googled and found various recipes that use that combination, so I replaced the peach with blackberry in my recipe. It is very good, so I will be using it when I make the turkey zucchini loaf. To go with the meatloaf, I thinly sliced new potatoes from the farmers market and sauteed them in olive oil, stirring frequently for about 20 ..read more

Interestingly enough, the fathead dough pizza I made, using mostly almond flour, tastes less almondy when it has been reheated. I have a bag of the King Arthur Keto Wheat Flour Blend but haven't used it for anything yet. I may try it on the fathead pizza dough, 1 cup is 56 carbs (16 net carbs) compared to 95 carbs (92 net) for AP flour. The almond meal/VWG mix I used in the fathead dough the other day works out to 46 carbs (34 net). My wife counts total carbs, she thinks that works better for computing insulin doses, I look at net carbs ..read more

Ah, Joan, that was one of my favorite recipes before I mostly stopped consuming butter unless I had a lot of other people around to help. I think that they updated the recipe, but the one I used from years ago had a bit of orange extract in it, and for me, that made the recipe ..read more

I de-seeded five quarts of blackberries today. I froze two containers for future use in Bittersweet Blackberry Brownies. I have set aside 2 cups to try a Blackberry Chia Seed Jam that I can use in Rye Bars. I used 4 cups to make three 8 oz. jars of blackberry jam. I have another 4 cups in the refrigerator to use for jam tomorrow. I checked lids before I canned this batch of jam, as Mike suggested, and I noted that one was indented on the rim, so I threw it away. For dinner, we had leftover stir-fry. Today was our big shopping trip to the larger town, so between that and doing the berries, I wa ..read more

Probably a sandwich for me tonight, Diane is having a burrito, but she only eats a small portion of the tortilla. She tried the Mission low-carb tortillas, wasn't impressed with them, they're not very flavorful and the texture is off a bit, too ..read more
