      • 1 cup plant milk (your choice, unflavored)
      • 1 heaping tbsp tapioca starch
    • Instructions
      • Place tapioca stach in a small bowl with enough milk to cover it
      • Mix VERY WELL until smooth
      • Add milk until one cup total
      • Heat in a small saucepot over medium heat, stirring continuously
      • Once froth rises to top, turn heat down to low, continue stirring
      • Sauce will thicken very quickly, stir until smooth
      • Remove from heat
    • Notes
      • People often mix the tapioca starch and water in a 1:1 mixture
      • Then they make a smooth paste which is later added to the liquid
      • I believe tapioca starch should be hydrated in a COLD liquid,
        and later added to a HOT liquid (or the larger volume of liquid)
      • People also use a blender to mix the tapioca starch with the liquid

    • Dissolve the tapioca starch in cold water and stir until it dissolves;
      then add it to the boiling cheese sauce

Cookies

• 5 Calorie Chocolate Crunchies @ naughtyornicefood.wordpress.com (07/23)
  • Ingredients
    • 1/4 cup of cocoa powder (I use Wonderslim)

    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/2 tsp instant coffee grounds
    • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1/4 cup sugar free-no calorie chocolate flavored syrup (like Torani)
  • Instructions
    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
    • In a medium mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients
    • Add in wet ingredients, adding more liquid as needed, until "batter" is uniform
    • It should be a runnier texture, and may seem more like brownie batter,
      instead of cookie dough
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
    • Scoop 20 globs of the mixture onto the parchment paper
    • Allow to bake for about 5 minutes, until desired texture is evident
    • Let cool about 10 minutes
  • Notes
    • If you cannot find no calorie chocolate syrup, feel free to use whatever
      chocolate flavored liquids you have available
    • This will probably be salty due to the baking soda AND added salt

    • Let cool before handling, as they firm up while cooling

  • Microwave Egg Bites @ cookanyday.com (06/23)
    • Ingredients
      • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
      • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise or sour cream, at room temperature
      • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
    • Instructions
      • In a large bowl, vigorously beat the eggs with the mayo or sour cream;
        the mixture should be smooth and homogenous
      • Coat the cups of a 1/2-cup Anytime Tray with nonstick cooking spray
      • Divide egg mixture evenly in the cups
      • Wipe up any excess egg on the surface of the tray
      • Top egg cups with desired mix-ins, pressing gently to submerge
      • Carefully transfer Anytime Tray to the microwave
      • Cook in the microwave for 5-6 minutes at Power Level 5, or until
        the eggs are cooked in the center
      • Egg bites may shrink slightly in the cups
      • Allow egg bites to cool (about 5 minutes) before enjoying
      • These egg bites will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days
    • Notes
      • Why do the ingredients need to be at room temperature?
        When at room temperature, eggs, butter, and other dairy ingredients form
        an emulsion which traps air inside of the egg bites. That trapped air
        results in a light and fluffy egg texture when cooked in the microwave.

    • Ingredients
      • Whole/skim milk 146g (~0.6 cups)
      • Unflavored Whey 22g (update: I started using 12g of whey instead)
        (12g = 2 tbsp)

      • Cocoa 13.5g (2 heaping tbsp). Obviously optional if you don't want chocolate
      • Stevia/sugar replacement to taste (lick your fingers while mixing)
    • Instructions
      • Freeze a small pyrex bowl and a quarter/half sheetpan overnight;
        the larger the sheet pan the quicker the mix will freeze
      • Add all dry ingredients including allulose and handful of
        stevia/sweetener into a bowl
      • Add milk w/ dry ingredients and blend/whisk throughly until lumps disappear
      • Pour mixture onto frozen sheetpan and make as thin a sheet as possible
        for quickest freezing
      • Put back into freezer for 10 minutes
      • Scrape mixture around again
      • At this point it should have started to solidify into a yogurt-like substance
      • You'll want to break up any ice crystals especially around the edges
      • Put back into freezer for 20 minutes
      • Mixture should now be solid and similar to a melty soft serve
      • If not, repeat the freeze/mix steps at 10-15 min increments
      • You can now eat the ice cream or pour into a pyrex for at least
        3 hours to set and firm
      • Make sure to squish down any air or you run the risk of ice crystals
        developing while it freezes
    • Notes
      • Add a little cream cheese for smoothness
      • Erythritol has a 3x freezing point depression, and allulose has a
        2x freezing point depression

  • Ingredients for Swedish Meatball Sauce (from Ikea)
    • 3 Tbsp butter
    • 3 Tbsp flour
    • 2/3 cups vegetable stock
    • 2/3 cups beef stock
    • 2/3 cups heavy cream
    • 2 tsp Worcestershire
    • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
    • Salt to taste
  • Instructions
    • Saut the minced onion until transparent, then remove from heat
    • Gently combine all the ingredients in a large bowl
    • The ingredients need to be well integrated, but avoid over-mixing
    • The mixture should easily hold its shape and form a ball
    • Add oat bran or flour if the mixture is too loose
    • Add applesauce if the mixture is too dry
    • Form the mixture into 1-inch balls
    • Steam the meatballs for 20 minutes over high heat (activates the binders,
      uniformly cooks the pea crumbles, and mellows the overall pea flavor)
    • Lightly coat the meatball in flour (for a crispy brown texture when frying)
    • Preheat a skillet with oil on medium high heat
    • Add your meatballs and cook until all sides are a uniform crispy golden brown
    • Deglaze the pan with water or wine, and made the sauce
  • Notes
    • The secret to properly cooking these "meatballs" is steaming them before frying
    • Ikea's plant ball is made with pea protein, oats, potatoes, onion, and apple
    • Ikea likely uses textured pea protein rather than powdered pea protein
    • Potato provides what breadcrumbs and egg would normally provide
    • Applesauce mellows the "pea flavor", adds a small amount of sweetness, and adds
      additional moisture
    • Oat bran is used as a binder; it contains cysteine and methionine
    • Paprika add a slight pepper flavor and also adds color
  • A Recipe to Reduce Meat Bite for Bite @ about.ikea.com (07/23)
    • Yellow pea protein, potato, onion, oats and apple are in the recipe
    • The pea protein is separated from mashed yellow peas and then extruded
      (sounds like Textured Pea Protein to me)
    • Apple was a perfect choice given that it gives the perfect sweetness
    • The seasoning includes salt, pepper, and allspice

Soups & Stews

• Tips
  • Use pea protein to thicken soups and stews
    • Make a paste by mixing 1/2 cup pea protein with a little water
    • Incorporate the paste into the soup
    • It takes some time to cook off, but you get a velvety texture at the end
    • You really don't taste the pea

  • You want to add pea protein slowly while simultaneously whisking it in.
    Otherwise, you might end up with something gross and clumpy.

  • Add a couple of heaping tablespoonfuls into homemade chicken stock. The broth
    was delicious. The powder dissolved quickly, thickened the broth slightly, changed
    the color to a pale ochre, and made the texture a bit more creamy. There was a flavor
    shift, but nothing that reminded you of pea soup. This was a fairly substantial
    soup on its own.

Tortillas & Wraps

• Replacing Psyllium Husk
  • Keto Tortillas @ cassidyscraveablecreations.com (07/23)
    • Recipe uses 1 cup almond flour, 2 tbsp coconut flour, and 2 tsp Xanthan Gum
    • 2 tsp of Xanthan Gum = 3 tbsp of Psyllium Husk Powder + 1/2 cup of very hot water

  • Binding Agents @ glutenfreepalate.com (07/23)
    • When used in baking, xanthan gum tends to help starches combine to trap air,
      while guar gum helps keep large particles suspended in the mix
    • Guar gum is good for cold foods such as ice cream or pastry fillings, while
      xanthan gum is better for baked goods including yeast breads
    • Psyllium husk powder is used to retain moisture and help breads from becoming too crumbly
    • If the recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk, use 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum

  • Glucomannan can replace psyllium husk powder on a 1:1 basis

    • Instructions
      • Add the crepe ingredients to a small blender and blend until smooth
      • It should resemble a thin pancake batter

      • Heat a large, non-stick pan or a griddle over medium heat and
        add in the coconut oil to coat the pan or griddle
      • Using a ladle pour a very thin layer of the batter and swirl with
        the back of the ladle to spread the batter out, making a thin pancake
        about 6-7" inches in diameter
      • The crepe will cook quite quickly, so carefully flip after 30 seconds,
        or when the crepe is bubbling
      • Cook for an additional 30 seconds on the other side
      • Repeat the process to use up all of the crepe batter; I made 3 crepes total

      • Prepare the tortilla "bed"; put a thick tea towel that's big enough
        to wrap all tortillas in open inside a plate
      • To cook the tortillas, use a non-stick or seasoned cast iron shallow pan
      • on medium-high heat.
      • It s not necessary to add oil to the pan.
      • Get the pan very hot before adding the first tortilla
      • Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until you get
        the nice charred marks
      • As they get ready, pile them up inside the tea towel bed, folding the
        extra fabric over them

      • Let the yogurt ferment in the crockpot for 10-20 hours depending on
        how thick and tangy you want your yogurt
      • The longer it s left to ferment the more the probiotics will develop
        and make the yogurt taste sourer
      • Once the yogurt is ready, pour it into clean glass containers and
        refrigerate for at least 3 hours before eating

    • Ingredients
      • 4 cups Ripple Dairy-Free Milk in Vanilla (sweetened or unsweetened)
      • 5.3 oz Silk Almondmilk Yogurt Alternative in Plain or Vanilla @ target.com (07/23)
    • Instructions
      • Select the Yogurt setting on the Instant Pot
      • Place three widemouthed pint jars (or one 7-cup Pyrex storage container) in the pot
      • Pour the Ripple milk into a medium saucepan

        reaches 110-115 deg F; immediately remove from heat
      • Whisk in the container of Silk yogurt until it is thoroughly blended into
        the Ripple milk
      • Remove the warm widemouthed jars (or Pyrex bowl) from the Instant Pot,
        and ladle the mixture into them
      • Cover the jars with Saran Wrap (to prevent smells from the Intant Pot being
        transferred to the yogurt)
      • Lower the jars into the Instant Pot

        thickeners in the Ripple milk
