Stuffed Mushrooms

Mushroom caps are gorgeous and handy for stuffing. Raw mushrooms hold meats or seafood, cheeses mixed with herbs and spices, other veggies, pizza toppings, or spreads and dips.

 

Which mushroom caps are best for stuffing?

Cremini Mushrooms are immature Portobello mushrooms. Their button-like caps are perfect for stuffing. They range in color, from pale tan to rich brown. Cremini mushrooms are similar to white mushrooms, but have a firmer texture and deeper flavor.

Portobello Mushrooms (especially large ones) can hold almost anything. Use grilled Portobello caps in place of bread or hamburger buns. These mushroom caps are porous, absorbing marinades and spices fully.

 

Mushroom Health Benefits

Mushrooms are a very good source of copper, selenium, riboflavin, niacin, panothenic acid and a good source of potassium. Mushrooms have high levels of antioxidant compounds that help prevent some cancers.

• You can bake the caps ahead of time, then serve chilled or at room temperature.

Deviled Egg Tips

We eat with our eyes first. Fortunately, it’s very easy to make deviled eggs look nice. All you really need is a piping bag (or a plastic Ziploc bag) and a colorful garnish.

Fill a piping or plastic bag with your deviled egg mixture, snip one of the corners off with scissors, then pipe your deviled yolks into the whites without making a huge mess.

Next, garnish your eggs with… Whatever!

Try fresh herbs, exotic low carb spices (some help you lose more weight!), chopped veggies or a dollop of flavored sour cream.

 

Warning

Those eggs you carefully piped deviled yolks into and garnished with parsley or bacon or whatever? If you stick them in a plastic container and try to transport them, they will arrive looking like they had a rave inside the container.

Do Your Nerves a Favor

Put the unfilled cooked whites into a container for transportation and bring along your bag filled with the seasoned yolks. When you arrive, give the egg whites a quick fill and you’re done.

Easy Low Carb Snack Wings

Whether it’s a quick appetizer, a fun dinner or party food for the big game, chicken wings are a favorite low carb snack on any menu. They make great finger foods and canapés.

 

Want to kick wings up a notch? It’s all about the marinades and sauces.

Wing sauces generally take influences from Italian, French, Chinese, Japanese, Caribbean and Indian cuisines.

Be creative with your wing sauce:

• Garlic Parmesan
• Stone ground or peppered mustard
• Bizarre citrus combinations like mango-orange-lemon
• A small amount of honey, molasses, Splenda or sugar-free syrup
• Full fat salad dressings, such as ranch or blue cheese

 

Chicken Wing Recipes

Whether you like to slow cook and baste your birds with sauce, or marinate and grill them, the recipes below are sure to please.

The chicken wing recipes are available in the low carb snack recipe eBook at the end of this article.

 

Chicken Wing Tips

• For quick clean up, line your baking pan with foil. No scrubbing.

• For out-of-the-fryer crispness, pat dry the wings before seasoning and cooking. This also works when baking or grilling the wings.

• If the cooked wings come in contact with much air after they are fried, they ‘seal’ – and won’t absorb the sauce as well. When the cooked wings come out of the hot oil, put them into a container with a lid, add the sauce, then spin them around until well-coated.
