Note: Use for quiche or similar. Makes one crust in a 25cm round dish.
1&1/3 cups almonds (grind until texture of cornmeal) ½ cup grated parmesan 6 tbsp melted butter 1 tbsp water
Method: Pulse the almonds and cheese in food processor until combined, add water and butter and run until dough is formed. You may need to scrape away from sides or base halfway through.

Righto - suggestions please.
I froze the ham bone and now I want ideas of what to do with it! Obviously the usual pea and ham soup is out of the question. Pity, as the lousy weather almost makes it a p&h soup day. Maybe make some stock, or is there something more exciting out there? Ta! .

If you make the almond crust, but omit the parmesan and add sugar or sweetner you can use it as a base for something like cheesecake. [edit] I wouldn't add 1/2 a cup of sweetner though! Maybe a tbsp of sweetner and a little bit more almonds? I just make it up as I go along lol
It does seem like a soup day dazz! I'm tempted to make some curried chicken and tomato soup myself.

Haley, I make a sweet base for cheesecakes etc with almonds, hazelnuts and melted butter and a little Splenda. Works really well.

Hey there i have recently started back on lo carb. Used to do it before had my daughter but have struggled to get back to it since - two years. One week into a new start and doing ok dont have too much weight to lose so no dramatic results yet but i feel better for it. Have been lurking about in the lo carb thread for a while now and am feeling really positive about all the information/wisdom available that didnt seem to be when i started out. Because im a bit tenchnologically incompetent and am struggling to find things on the huge lo carb thread i wondered about how people would feel cutting and pasting their low carb recipes in the lo carb people thread into a lo carb recipe thread. there may be a simpler way and if there is please let me know but i have been cutting and pasting into a word document and it is extremely time consuming. cheers Tania

Flax wraps (posted by Doug) These are EXCELLENT - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: In a small bowl mix 2. 5 Tblspns ground flax, 1/4 tspn b/powder, onion & garlic powder (or just pepper) to taste and a dash of salt. Then add 1 large egg, 1 tblspn melted butter and 1 tblspn water. MIX. Pour into an 8" glass pie plate [spray with oil] and tip dish so mixture spreads over entire bottom. Cook 3 mins on Hi in microwave. Allow to cool

Low carb hot cereal (like porridge) 1 cup ground flaxseed, 1 cup ground almonds (I prefer flaked), 1/2 cup oat bran, 1 1/4 cup wheat bran, 1 cup protein powder (vanilla is nice). Mix together - toast almonds if you want a different flavour. For breakfast add 1/2 cup to a bowl and top with 3/4 cup boiling water. Let sit for a min or 2 then eat with cream or I stir in a couple of dollops of greek yoghurt to mine before eating. 7 carbs per serve excluding the yoghurt. Makes 9 serves.

Low carb bread (for breadmaker) 3/4 cup tepid water, 1 egg, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar (burned up in cooking process), 1 tbsp butter, 2tbsp milk powder, 1/3 cup ground flaxseed, 1/4 cup soy flour, 3/4 cup gluten flour, 1 3/4 tsp yeast. (I also add sunflower seeds, or better still - dried rosemary and 1/2 finely chopped onion). Things to note: MUST cook on RAPID BAKE, choose LIGHT crust and SMALL loaf settings. This does like being knocked down more than once. If letting cool in breadmaker then leave lid slightly opened.

Over on a US forum they're discussing making up a low carb quiche mixture in a ziplock plastic bag and throwing it into the freezer uncooked. Then when you want to use it, tip into dish and bake as normal. How do you think that would work out? Interesting idea!

Not much discussion there at the moment! But I don't imagine you could freeze it for for than a couple of days if it has cream and eggs in it?

Here's the original HIGH carb recipe - Quiche In A Bag 1 Cup cooked meat -- diced or browned 3/4 Cup vegetable -- blanched, thawed 1 Cup Cheddar cheese 1/4 Cup onion -- diced 1 3/4 Cups Milk 4 eggs 1/8 Teaspoon Tabasco sauce 1/2 Cup flour (whole wheat works fine) 2 Teaspoons baking powder
Combine meat, vegetable, cheese and onion. Place this mixture in a gallon Ziploc bag. With a mixer or blender combine milk, eggs, Tabasco sauce, flour and baking powder. Mix well and pour into the bag with the meat/vegetable mixture. Seal bag label and freeze.
To serve thaw completely. Shake bag well and pour into a spray treated or greased deep dish pie plate or quiche pan. Sprinkle with paprika if desired.
Bake at 180 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes until lightly browned on top and well set in center. Cool about 5 minutes before serving.
