low carbohydrate recipes! low carbohydrate recipes by a professional chef. sugar free recipes cookbook Secret
patented low carbohydrate recipes of Low Carb Yummies Café Chef Allan (I’m his Dad) developed diabetes when he was a teen. It was hard sacrificing junk food, so he began creating his own low carb diabetic recipes and sugar free treats. As an adult, he created gourmet quality low carb recipes for entrees, and sugar free recipes for desserts, chocolate and candy. In Hawaii, he crafted special low carbohydrate recipes for the popular " Pacific Rim Cuisine". Chef Allan's diabetic diet approach enhances all low carb/high protein diets. Below are his best low carbohydrate recipes for those on a low carbohydrate diet, plus sugar free diabetic recipes for those with diabetes (and those on a low carb diet with a sweet tooth). Allan hopes revealing his low carb recipes will make new friends & customers, and he’d appreciate you visiting Low Carb Yummies for all your low carbohydrate diet and sugar free diabetic diet needs http://www.lowcarbyummies.com. Oh, I'm on the Atkins Diet too (read my and Allan's story in "about us").
Many low carbohydrate recipes-sugar free diabetic recipes are disappointing, including the atkins diet recipes. The Low Carb Yummies menu must please Chef Allan, and his patrons. Thus all his recipes are gourmet quality and so good that even fussy non-dieters won’t even know they’re eating sugar free low carbohydrate diet foods. Some of our best family recipes are also here, including my Italian grandmother’s 200 year old (at least) traditional Lasagna, & Manicotti. How good are these recipes? Many of the customers at Low Carb Yummies café are not on a diet at all, they just eat there because the food is so good. So you can make meals for the entire family, and no one will ever suspect you’re making something good for them. IMPORTANT - Proper Seasoning/cooking Even some popular low carb recipes/atkins diet recipes are lousy. We low carb dieters have long needed a professional chef's help (but a good one like Allan). I’ve eaten my share of gourmet cooking, and often, the chef hasn’t learned how to properly balance flavors. And in trying to "one-up" other chefs, they often make horrible concoctions in which certain herbs or flavors overbear and ruin the food. The secret to great gourmet cooking is the balance of seasonings, flavors and sauces. This is particularly vital to low carbohydrate diet foods and the Atkins Diet. They make the difference between a boring diet, and a highly enjoyable one. Chef Allan spent years developing awesome low carb seasoning blends to bring "zing" to his diabetic recipes, and the low carb recipes served at his bistros/cafes. Far more savory and delicious than ANY seasonings I've ever had, Chef Allan's herbs & spices are complex, elaborate, and perfectly blended to enhance the flavor of the food - not dominate it with the flavors of the herbs & spices. When used properly, your food just tastes far better, rather than tasting like yucky herbs overpowering bland food. Now you can use his secret blends to give a professional finish to everything you cook or eat - from fast food, to the most elaborate gourmet fare. Make boring meats, veggies and salads really enjoyable! You'll even take them to restaurants! Nothing does more to give your low carbohydrate recipes that professional chef flare. When you read many of the following low carb recipes, you'll understand how important seasonings can be - and wait till you taste these amazing seasoning blends!!! NO preservatives/MSG. Since so many of his low carb diabetic recipes use his seasoning blends, Chef Allan is offering a special introductory offer on a complete set at a big discount (see our no carb seasonings page)

Low Carbohydrate Desserts & Chocolate Treats Gourmet shops and Low Carb Yummies sell whipped cream dispensers that are a must for those on the Atkins Diet or other low carbohydrate diets. Believe me, you will still be thanking me several lifetimes from now :-) Cream is one of the great things we get to enjoy on this diet, and when you can sweeten and flavor it in your own container, it’s heaven. Also, when you whip it, a tablespoon fluffs up with the compressed gas and makes a lot – so you get more “bang for your buck” (or “less carbs for your cream”).
Chef Allan’s Mom’s Low Carb Yummies Dream-Easy Cheesecake Ingredients: 4 oz cream cheese 3/8 cup ricotta cheese (whole milk preferred) 1/8 t salt 1 egg 4.5 t Splenda granules 2 T water 1.5 t Almond extract (you can also make different flavored cheesecakes by using vanilla, maple, cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice) 1 T heavy cream (use the dispenser sold by Low Carb Yummies (nicest) to make Splenda sweetened French Vanilla Whipped cream, or use a blender) 4 little Pyrex 175 ml baking cups (available at supermarkets)
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Place all of the ingredients into a blender and blend them until smooth. Pour into Pyrex dishes and bake until firm but still moist (17 to 23 minutes depending on your oven). I like it really soft and moist- almost like a custard, so I pull them out at 17 minutes, while at 23, they are a lovely toasty-brown on the top, more firm and a bit drier. Remove from oven and let cool. Refrigerate immediately. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and any of the toppings listed below. Tips and variations on this simple, rich dessert. Sometimes I crumble 6 pecan halves and sprinkle them on the top of each little cheesecake before baking. It adds a negligible amount of carbs to these luscious deserts, and a little crunch. Your extract will bake out a lot, so experiment with that to get as much flavor as you like. You can use any of the wonderful Da Vinci flavored syrups to pour over the top. It gives you a myriad of choices for cheesecake flavors! One of my favorites is the caramel. Dreamy! Also, you can take 4 frozen cherries or strawberries and chop them into small pieces, and sprinkle them over the top of the whipped cream, or drop 6 blueberries on each. This will add approximately .4 g carbohydrates to your desserts along with a lot of color and flavor. Low Carb Yummies Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Decadence makes 16 little slices, 2.5 grams carbohydrates each, a bit more with whipped cream
1/2 cup water 1/4 cup cream 4 T melted butter 1/2 cup peanut oil 2 caps Da Vinci sugar free chocolate syrup 1 t salt 1 can Keto chocolate cookie/brownie mix 1 T unsweetened bakers cocoa powder (hershey's is what we use) 1 T Low Carb Yummies Maltitol Syrup 2 T sugar free/natural peanut butter
FOR FROSTING: 8 T softened Cream Cheese 4 T Da Vinci sugar free chocolate syrup 2 T softened butter 1/4 t salt 1 T cream 1 T baker's chocolate Preheat oven to 350 and add contents of can and all other ingredients and mix well (this is a tough mix - make sure it's thorough). Spoon batter into well greased 10" round baking pan and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes - less time is more moist. Mix frosting ingredients, put in ziplock bag with meat mixture, tie with 4 foot string, take into front yard, spin it around head and scream like a chicken. Top it all with sugar free sweetened French Vanilla Whipped cream
Chef Allan’s Chocolate Balls
1 oz Baking chocolate 1/3c fresh Sugar Free Peanut butter (available at health food stores) 2T Butter (or Low Carb Yummies Flavorburst™ English Toffee butter for an extra treat!) 1/3c Ricotta (8 grams) 1T Vanilla extract Sweetener
Mix together first four ingredients so that there are no lumps. Next stir in your sweetener and vanilla to taste. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto wax paper and chill until firm. Low Carb Yummies Chilled Chocolate Pecan Fudge 1.4 grams carbohydrates per serving/8 servings
16oz Cream Cheese 1 T EACH of Low Carb Yummies Flavorburst™ English Toffee butter, and Chocolate Amaretto butter (Optional but sinfully scrumptious) 1 oz of Baker’s Chocolate ½ c pecans (optional) sugar free sweetener (we usually use ½ cup Splenda granules, but sweeten to taste with your favorite sugar free sweetener) 1T vanilla extract
Mix all ingredients together well and let chill in refrigerator over night. Keep chilled, even for serving/eating. sugar free toasted marshmallow blobs Remember toasted marshmallows? Well, our little treat isn't perfect (which is why we named them after the famous horror-movie star, the blob), but for us "toasted marshmallow fiends" on a diabetic diet or low carb diet, they're wonderful and fun. Get a tub of our Low Carb Yummies sugar free marshmallow creme, and spoon out dopples of it onto a cookie sheet. Use the broil setting on an oven or toaster oven, and keep a close eye on it till they turn brown. Let cool a bit, scrape the yummy gooey mess off the tray and enjoy! Let us know if you find a way to keep it from sticking to the pan!
Italian Delicacies These were handed down through the family from Chef Allan’s Italian great-grandmother’s traditional recipes. We know they’re at least 200 years old. They’re naturally low carbohydrate and sugar free. The Sauce. Most tomato sauces use sugar! Why? Unripe tomatoes! Ripe tomatoes are naturally sweet, and cook-up even sweeter. They still have carbohydrates and must be used sparingly, but they’re nothing like regular sugar laden sauce – taste-wise or carb-wise. A delicious genuine sauce of this style and region of Italy, uses large chunks of tomato, herbs, olive oil, and mild whole garlic cloves. It cooks up “chunky”, “liquidy”, and very flavorful, with none of the rancid garlic taste that can come from improper cooking. Great grandma Maria would simmer her sauce all day, beginning in the morning, for the evening meal. Amazingly, we now have a bottled sauce that is just like hers - Timpones! Super Low Carbohydrate! Not a couple of grams of carbohydrates per tablespoon, but 5 GRAMS PER HALF CUP!!! All natural real ingredients and uses RIPE tomatoes.
Mama Maria’s Traditional Lasagna (Naturally
Low Carb) Besides the sauce, another secret of great traditional Italian food is home made crepe/egg noodles. That’s how Maria made it. The only difference was she used a little white wheat flour. You can too if it fits your carbohydrate intake parameters, otherwise, this higher egg content is no-compromise (except they’re a bit more delicate and tricky to handle while cooking – practice your technique). Finally, it is important to use only WHOLE MILK Ricotta and Mozzarella. That’s what they used traditionally, and does it ever make a difference in flavor and texture! And, it’s lower carbohydrate than “low fat” or “skim” cheeses! If you want a meat sauce: We make ours without meat, because we enjoy the delicate flavor of the tomato sauce. But if you generally use a meat sauce, adding meat may be more to your taste and make the Lasagna more enjoyable to you. Prior to making the noodles, sauté beef, sausage or your favorite meat in it’s own fat, or with a little virgin olive oil, then stir in the Timpones tomato sauce and simmer for approximately 5 minutes. For the noodles/crepes, you'll need a frying or crepe pan suitable for the size crepes you’ll be making. A larger size is thinner, a bit more difficult to work with, and makes a thinner Lasagna. A smaller size makes a thicker Lasagna pie. You’ll need a round cake baking pan, to fit the size crepes you’ll be making.
The Ricotta Mix: 1½ Cups Whole Milk Ricotta ½ t Black Pepper (we use course ground, but you can adjust to taste) - ¾ Teaspoon (or more if you like spicy!) 1 T Chef Allan’s no carbohydrate Italian Rush seasoning blend (available from Low Carb Yummies) 1 T Chef Allan's low carbohydrate Garlic Blast seasoning blend ½ t Chef Allan's Seasoned Salt Blend all ingredients together by hand, and let sit. Best if made at least a few hours or a day prior, so the seasonings have time to bloom and infuse the ricotta cheese. Egg Noodle Crepes: (these proportions are for 4 crepes for a 4 layer Lasagna) In measuring cup, beat 4 eggs with: ¾ t (heaping) Chef Allan’s zero carbohydrate Italian Rush seasoning blend ¼ t (heaping) Ground Black Pepper (we use course ground, but you can adjust to taste) 2 T Heavy cream (whipping cream) ¼ t (heaping) Chef Allan's low carbohydrate Garlic Blast seasoning blend 1/8th t or 2 Pinch of Salt If you want to add some flour, and substitute soy for the traditional wheat flour, try using 2 T Low Carb Yummies unsweetened bake mix (no carb soy protein isolate), carbolite low carb bake mix, or soy flour. (or use nothing at all – it still works)
Preheat skillet or crepe pan with 1 T virgin olive oil. Pour ¼ of egg mixture into skillet (that’s why we used the measuring cup). Move pan quickly to MAKE SURE MIX COVERS BOTTOM OF PAN EVENLY! If you don’t you’ll have thin spots that break easily when handling. Don’t worry if they break though, it will all come together in the cake pan anyway. Let the noodles cool completely before using.
Next, ready: GREASE PAN WELL (with virgin olive oil or butter), Then: Bake at 400 for approx 40 minutes, or till the mozzarella is browned/unbrowned to your liking (check to make sure you aren’t burning it). Nice served with parmesan, crushed dried red chili pepper or chef Allan's Italian Rush blend (if you want it spicier), Chef Allan's low carbohydrate Garlic Blast seasoning blend if you want more non-spicy Italian flavor, salt and pepper (warn people to taste it first though, because this recipe is already nice and spicy!) For a change of pace, manicotti is a nice choice, and a bit exotic. The carbohydrates in eggs are insignificant.
The carbohydrates in this and the lasagna recipe are in the tomato sauce
(10 per cup) and the Ricotta (about 2 grams per ¼ cup,
depending on the brand). The
entire lasagna pie for instance, is 50.4 grams.
Manicotti is basically the same, only mozzarella is not typically used.
So you can modify the recipe, and serving size can vary according to how
many of the crepe/noodles you make, how thick they are, and what size they are.
Just keep in mind that the total of the ingredients for the entire batch
given here, is about 50 carbohydrates, and divide accordingly. Ricotta Mixture: Same as above lasagna recipe Noodles: Same as noodles for the Lasagna. For large thin crepes, or smaller thick ones, use one egg per noodle/crepe. Or if you want smaller thinner ones, use a half egg per noodle/crepe. Preparation:
Mexican
Makes six quarts. Freezes/microwaves well. 1 cup serving is only 4.2 grams of carbohydrates per cup! Chef Allan’s Soybean Chili is great by itself, or with cheese & raw onions sprinkled on top. Plus it is the foundation ingredient of Low Carb Yummies Burritos & Tostadas. (Note: We use whole dried organic black soy beans at the Low Carb Yummies café, and don’t know if the recipe might need modification for other beans). We use a large crock pot, so adjust the recipe for different sized pots. Remember, soy beans and soy based products soak up water like crazy, and expand.
In a crock pot, add 8 cups water and: 2 T Paprika 2 Heaping T Chef Allan's Fajita Fiesta seasoning blend 1 Heaping T Chef Allan's Veggie Delight seasoning blend 1 T Chef Allan's Seasoned Salt 5 cups dry soy beans
Mix and let sit for 6 hours, NO LONGER. Add water if needed to just keep soybeans covered. Next, turn on crock pot to cook on high setting for 1 ½ hours. After that, add: 4 t Hickory Liquid Smoke (available at supermarkets) NEXT YOU'LL NEED: 1 Large Red Bell Pepper 1 Large Green Bell Pepper 1 Onion (Maui onion is great if you can get it) 3/4 stick of butter Large sauté/frying pan 2 Heaping T Chef Allan's Fajita Fiesta seasoning blend 1 Heaping T Chef Allan's Veggie Delight seasoning blend 1 T Chef Allan's Seasoned Salt 2 t Chef Allan's Garlic Blast seasoning blend 1 t salt ¼ Cup Water Whatever amount of sliced, diced or ground turkey you’d like. We use sliced turkey breast at the cafe, very roughly about one inch pieces. 2 strips bacon, sliced/chopped Puree the tomatoes in a blender. Chop and sauté the peppers and onion in ¾ of a stick of butter. After they're about half cooked, add the bacon and turkey. After cooked, add pureed tomatoes and bring to a boil. Boil for about 2 minutes and then add the seasonings and water, and boil for another 5 minutes. Then add mixture to beans and cook on low for 8 hours or over night. Yummies Turkey-Bacon (or vegetarian) Tostada 7.5 carbohydrates (for the wheat/soy low carbohydrate tortillas) 1, 6” Low carbohydrate tortilla/wrap OR we have a new extra thin organic corn tortilla that’s low enough in carbohydrates for most people on the Atkins Diet maintenance stage (only 8 grams each!). 1/3 cup of Low Carb Yummies chili 1 oz shredded cheddar cheese 1 T chopped white, red or yellow onion 1/3 cup shredded lettuce
You can have your tortilla cold, steamed, or fried (deep fry low carbohydrate tortilla in ¾” peanut, corn or some other vegetable oil). Top tostada with 1/3 cup Low Carb Yummies chili, lettuce, onions and cheese. Yummies Turkey-Bacon (or vegetarian) Burrito 7.5 carbohydrates Place ¾ cup of Low Carb Yummies chili to one side of the low carbohydrate tortilla wrap, with shredded lettuce, 1oz shredded cheddar cheese and 1 T diced onion.

Sauces, Dips, Dressings, etc. Allan's Ginger Peanut Oriental House Dressing Makes about 1 3/4 cups. 1/2 c peanut oil Low Carb Yummies Hickory Smoke Cheese Dip! 2.75 grams carbohydrates per 4oz.

Cheddar, finely shredded Blend with a fork or other method, until it becomes “dip consistency”. Let sit and re-stir for flavors to infuse mayo.

carb mayonnaise or other. Blend with a fork or other method, until it becomes “dip consistency”. Let sit and re-stir for flavors to infuse mayo. Low Carb Yummies Spicy Wasabi Sauce! ¼ gram carbohydrates per tablespoon Wasabi is a unique "horseradish" often used in Japanese food and Sushi, and has virtually no carbs. Depending on how much you get in a bite, it can “bite back” with an intense spicy flare up, but it goes away fast, unlike the long lasting burn you get with hot peppers. Wasabi or weaker horseradish, is what gives the “bite” in shrimp cocktail sauce. You can buy it in tubes as a green paste, at international food sections, and oriental food stores. We use this by request on many of our sandwich wraps.
Throw all ingredients in a blender an let 'er rip!! Low Carb Yummies Personal Mayonnaise (what we eat at home) Let all ingredients sit until they reach room temperature 3 Egg yolks* 2 T Vinegar ½ t Salt 1/8 t White Pepper 1 ½ c Olive Oil, peanut oil, sesame oil or corn oil Juice of ½ lemon 1 T Boiling water

After all of the oil is added, stir in lemon juice and 1T boiling water. *We use organic free-range chicken eggs since we use them raw and we feel there is far less risk of salmonella with such eggs. We do not recommend anyone else using raw eggs, and take no responsibility for the results if you do. Please cook it thoroughly. Low Carboydrate Yummy Chicken Gravy Great on mashed Ketatoes, turkey, or chicken, hot chicken or turkey wraps/sandwiches. 3 T Chef Allan's Gravy "Kicker" (1 grm carb per t) You can use 2 T Gravy Kicker for a thinner, lower carbohydrate gravy. If you want to thicken it up more, add a tablespoon or so of our unsweetened no carb bake mix soy protein isolate, or your favorite Keto Bread mix. The soy flours/products soak up water and expand, but it may take a bit. If you want it spicier, add Egg & Poultry Power seasoning blend. Mix all ingredients, cook briefly in a sauce pan. It you use soy and it soaks up too much water, stir in some water. If you like, you can refrigerate this after it cools, and keep some in the fridge for quick use anytime. low carbohydrate! 9/10th’s of a gram carbohydrates per tablespoon. (size recipe proportions to fit what you plan to use. Sauce is
better after it sits for hours/days with seasonings, in fridge.) 23 oz Monterey Pasta Co. Tomato Basil Sauce (low carbohydrate - available at Costco in refrigerated area usually with cheeses).

Mix olive oil and liquid smoke thoroughly. Blend that into tuna. Mix all other ingredients separately from tuna - do not over mix, “fold” ingredients together rather than blending, to retain flavor uniqueness. Mix them just enough to prevent ending up with “clumps” of seasoning (it helps to sprinkle this into mix also, rather than “dumping” a teaspoon, and then having to mix it in more).

According to Dr. Atkins, caffeine is not on the Atkins Diet. But I can’t live without it, so we’ve come up with killer delicious recipes. And there are some interesting dieters testimonials that indicate while it sometimes can create a low carb diet plateau, it can also help shove someone off a diet plateau and back into weight loss. The following recipes use a French press. Sometimes called a bistro pot, press pot, or cafetiere in Europe, the French press brewing method is spreading like wildfire through the gourmet community, as the preferred way to prepare the finest coffees (even Oprah has recommended it). It's a great alternative to traditional espresso or cappuccino coffee drinks. A French press delivers more of the essence and body of the bean than any other method. Our trademarked French Cappuccino™ is an exciting new gourmet coffee experience, combining our gourmet Maui or Colorado Coffees with French press brewing, flavoring, and topped with our sweet, flavored whipped cream. This creates an exciting taste sensation, in which you experience the distinct natural flavors of the coffee, coffee flavoring, and the special whipped cream - combining them as you sip. It's both fun and delicious. Served hot in the winter, iced in the summer. We adults don't get to have the same fun we once enjoyed as children. Enjoying little "thrills" like this, can help us retain our sanity in our busy stressful lives, and keep us off the streets and away from automatic weapons in the workplace (that's an attempt at humor). Brew coffee in a French press for 4 minutes. Plan ahead for the 2 flavors you want to combine. For instance, you could put a mint flavoring in the coffee or whipped cream container and a Chocolate flavor in the other. Experiment. Try it with our sugar free marshmallow creme! After brewing, add sweetener & 2 caps of our aged vanilla extract (per cup), or the Da Vinci flavored zero carb Splenda sweetened syrup of your choice. Squirt on your flavored whipped cream next. Sprinkle on condiments if desired. Sip & enjoy the delightful taste sensation of blending the coffee & flavored cream as you sip! Follow the same directions as above, except use room temperature water to brew the coffee in the French press, for 5 minutes. Ice the brew in the fridge ahead of time if possible, and add ice, before you add the topping.
