all ingredients in food processor.Pulse 2-3 times.Pour
into non-stick pan to make 2-3 pancakes.Flip as needed.When
cooked through, top with butter, zsweet,

to these is cooking them slowly over the lower heat. If you cook them
too quickly, they will brown and the middle will not cook. So be

P3 Pizza using the oopsie roll

Pizza using the oopsie roll recipe and spreading it out for a crust..

3 large eggs
2 packets of stevia
dash of salt
pinch of cream of tartar
3 ounces cream cheese (not Tbsp!) Do not soften!

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

I have to thank Melissa for the oopsie roll idea & the pizza crust idea!!!!

Separate the eggs and add Stevia, salt, and cream cheese to the yolks. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients together. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff (if you're using the same mixer, mix the whites first and then the yolk mixture). Using a spatula, gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture, being careful not to break down the whites. Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray and spoon the mixture onto the sheet. I cooked it for about 10 mns, & then pulled it back out & added 2 little cans of the GV brand tom sauce that has no salt in it (says natural on it, & 8oz each) I added 1.5 cups of grated Parmesan chz, & 1.5 cups of mozz cheese, and finish baking for about 10-15 mns. Tastes wonderful for not having pizza for a few months!!!

P3 Coconut Cream Pudding

Coconut Cream Pudding..

Good for P3, its thicker like a custard, & it helps with a sweet craving.

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
about 4 packets stevia
4 oz cream chz... See More
1 egg beaten
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp coconut exract

In med bowl mix 1/4 cup of cream with sweetener, extracts, & coconut. Heat in microwave for 1 mn, then let stand for 15 mns
In separate bowl beat the egg with 1/4 cup cream; set aside.
Take the remainder of the cream in a sauce pan. Add crm chz & cook on med til chz is melted stirring constantly.. Add coconut mixture from the microwave & heat through. Add beaten egg mixture & stir constantly til thickened. Pour in little dishes & chill.
( I revised this a teeny bit cuz I could not find any shredded coconut without sugar)
So I didnt put any coconut in it at all, & instead of the coconut extract I put about 3 droppers full of chocolate stevia.
I could of maybe added coco powder? but it still tastes good. You could prob add whatever flavor you want to it. I multiplied the recipe by 4 when I mad mine.

P3 Simple Amond Bread

Gluten Free- Almond Simple Bread

good for P3 if you sub out the agave nectar for a few pks stevia. If you use agave nectar save it for P4....(I ordered my almond flour online, but they do have a red mill brand at walmart that you can try, may be a bit heavier)
After not having bread for 40 some days, it was yummy!!!

2½ cups blanched almond flour
½ teaspoon celtic sea salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
3 eggs
1 tablespoon agave nectar
½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar

1. In a large bowl, combine almond flour, salt and baking soda
2. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, then add agave and vinegar
3. Stir wet ingredients into dry
4. Scoop batter into a well greased bread pan
5. Bake at 300° for 45-55 minutes on bottom rack of oven; until a knife comes out clean
6. Cool and serve

P3 Oooopsie Rolls

Oopsie Rolls...

These are called oopsie rolls, you make them and use them like buns, pancakes, any kind of bread or buns for sandwiches. Good for P3

3 large eggs
couple pks of Stevia
dash of salt
pinch of cream of tartar
3 ounces cream cheese (not Tbsp!) Do not soften!

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Separate the eggs and add Stevia, salt, and cream cheese to the yolks. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients together. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff (if you're using the same mixer, mix the whites first and then the yolk mixture). Using a spatula, gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture, being careful not to break down the whites. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray and spoon the mixture onto the sheet, making 6 mounds. Flatten each mound slightly.

Bake about 30 minutes (You want them slightly softer, not crumbly). Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes, and then remove to a rack and allow them to cool. Store them in a bread sack or a ziplock bag to keep them from drying out, they will get sticky if you keep them air tight. I put them in a container with the lid half on.
