    By Ennis-TX,

    Well life has been crazy. I guess the biggest issue has been my truck I got so I could travel more and go to farmers markets with. I took it in with a extended warranty to get the A/C fixed and the engine started having problems. Warranty company told the dealership to take it apart so they could inspect but then declined be cause the truck was a ambulance....well the vin says it is a F350 with a ambulance package so they knew that. So I ended up without a vehicle and the initial...

    Pop Tarts

    By Ennis-TX,

    So with the COVID apocalypse going on I been working on some bucket foods that are safe for me first on the list was pop tarts. I filled these with Miyoko dairy free cream cheese mixed with a bit of stevia and Swerve Confectioner. I plan on later trying a version with mock apple pie filler (minced stewed chayote squash mixed with swerve, lemon juice, and apple pie spice) that is blended into a pulp filling.

    By Ennis-TX,

    Actually in the hospital now getting a gastric emptying test done, I brought some Julian Bakery Bread since they want me to eat bread with the eggs. The cooked it all in the microwave in disposable containers so I have no worry about getting gluten or any other allergen in the foods. So far the first 2 x-ray have shown the food not to have moved...sorta expected this without digestive enzymes or flushing it with liquid (only allowed 4oz of water).

    Well my truck has...

    Febuary 2020

    By Ennis-TX,

    So life has been crazy and busy, I got a new truck, a retired ambulance to be honest and have been working on modifications to work as a RV and a work truck. Ran into a bunch of issues the previous owner forgot to mention about the engine...Bad A/C Compressor, Fuel filters way past change time, fuel leak (leaking on top of engine...yes I am driving it with this), misfires on 2 cylinders and low fuel flow (this is built on a diesel 2011 Ford F350- base) The generator has me...

    So here I was wanting a healthy take on Eggnog I could drink without stomach issues, this is a recipe for HOT eggnog as cooling it leads to separation without an emulsifying agent. Been drinking this for days.   2 Cups Cashew Milk, or thick and creamy almond milk (HEB Organic Almond Milk) 2/3 Egg Whites (pasteurized carton) 3tbsp Swerve or Lakanto Sweetener (Powdered if you have it dissolves better) 1 tsp ...

    End of the Year Update

    By Ennis-TX,

    Food
    Well I found a new favorite meal, wild smoked salmon and nova salmon. WholeFoods has them 30% off right now, I love that flavor, made little snacks by putting them squares of nori with miyoko cream cheese.  LOVING THEM and no digestion issues.
    Been loving that I can eat thin bacon as long as I pull all the fat off, best is to buy the hormel precooked and pull the fat off cooking the pink and red bits and having with scrambled eggs.
    Been eating way to ...

    Figured I would post the sugar free dipping glaze and the royal icing I use in my bakery. The icing can be varied by liquid content from a heavy assembly icing, a decorating icing for piping, or a spreadable one. These icings are variable as they are low fat and sugar free so I can use them for various clients. Also I tend to use grams for these

    Dipping Glaze
    40g Swerve Confectioner
    2 tbsp Cashew Milk (Cashew for light set, use warm full fat coconut if...

    So after my UC flare issues, I started having allergy issues (assumed a really bad seasonal case) and some random vomiting. Now the vomiting I thought at first was rebound from my constant D issues that resolved with the new RX for the UC. But it is very particular and patterned with food intake, looking at my food diary I am now assuming a new food sensitivity or allergy related. The vomiting always seems to have a bunch of floating mucus/slime and was seemingly random around...

    So since the cold front rolled in last month my allergies have left me coughing up stuff, congestion and sinus pressure, this happens every year.
    Well Sunday I was doing chest/shoulder workouts with butterflys and DB presses, and I started coughing and heard a pop then extreme pain. Monday I went to my massage therapist thinking I pulled a muscle...she told me to go see a doctor. SO yesterday I went to see the doctor and he thinks I dislocated a rib (huh?). So I had 7...

    For thanksgiving this year I injected and smoked a turkey, the meat was wonderful. I also did dressing again, my green bean casserole with the french onions made in a air fryer, and mock apple cobbler out of chayote squash.

    My bakery/catering business donated 140 cookies, 9 loafs of pound cakes, a lemon loaf cake, mock apple cobblers to my churches community Thanksgiving Dinner. All Gluten Free, Paleo, and Keto, they were the only diabetic friendly desserts and most...

    So this year I decided to go special first I am Spatchcocking the Turkey so it cooks faster (Cutting out the spine and splaying the turkey open so there is no internal cavity and it cooks faster). Second I am smoking this bird over hickory and injecting it to keep it moist, I will cover my rubs, and injection in this post so others have a reference.
    Turkey is a Butterball Naturals 14lb, be sure to remove the giblets, neck, and the plastic thing holding the legs together...

    Paleo Fish Sticks

    By Ennis-TX,

    So going over some classics I have not had in years and sticking with a keto/Plaleo diet I decided I missed fish sticks. Found a few recipes and modified them and gave myself options.

    For the pork rinds I suggest either BaconHeir Pork Panko and season to taste to choose your favorite seasoned ones and pulse in a food processor for panko. I personally tried with Epic for more crunch, and 4505 is smoother better tasting. Alternatively you can use NutCrumbs or seasoned...

    So I finally made it to that specialist in the city, he straight up put me on 4x the standard UC medication and within a few days I am active again and able to leave my house. He stated the Silica I thought caused it would have softened and gelled in my intestines thus it probably only mildly irritated my intestines. But he said nonetheless it seems it flared my UC. So he said if I stick with the paleo/keto diet it will help with remission once the medicine calms it down. ...

    Chicken Pizza Crust

    By Ennis-TX,

    So wanting a thicker sturdier crust and on a pizza craze I found, disliked and modified a recipe for making a low carb crust out of shredded chicken. One thing I like about these crust is they are sturdy enough to make in batches and freeze/fridge between layers of parchment paper for later unlike others I have tried. Then just top and heat up later.

    Makes 2x 8" Personal Crust
    6oz  Cooked Chicken chopped and shredded(note if using canned weigh it after draining ...

    So I took the original idea of the fat head pizza (will include original recipe at bottom), I replaced the cheese with Miyoko's Vegan versions to make it dairy free, then used what I learned earlier and replaced the flour with Pork Panko from BaconsHeir to make this. Heck you can go carnivore with it and just sub the pork panko as I use the same grams of cheese vs Vegan Cheese.
    OH if you want double the recipe and use the extra dough to make it a deep dish then have some...

    October 2019

    By Ennis-TX,

    Well the end of this last month has given me some new perspectives and thoughts.
    Ever been in pain to the point where crazy, dumb, and bad ideas seem plausible? I am laying on the floor with the waves of pain thinking stuff like, Maybe if I take some Benzocaine gel put it in a capsule and swallow it I can numb this, perhaps I can mix it up in a enema? or the concept of wanting to reach up there and rub pain killing cream inside my intestines sounds pleasent.....
    The...

    Ok this recipe is mad scientist level out there, forced by medical issues into a corner, unable to eat almond or coconut flour right now, allergic to dairy with Celiac disease and unable to eat carbs....but craving cinnamon rolls. This took my creativity to a new level and it was godly good and the secret ingredient will blow your mind, Pork Panko. DO NOTE you can probably use real dairy cheese, and butter in this recipe and do a full on Carnivore Keto Cinnamon Roll

    GI Update

    By Ennis-TX,

    So I got to see my GI doc...3 weeks of being in pain, D and bleeding issues. I had a nice detailed report almost 2 pages in a word document summarizing each weeks pain, diet, supplements, my state, BM details, and conclusions. He read through the thing and asked to scan it into the records, then after a basic examination he ordered a CT scan and full blood work.

    Ironically I went up there to get my old RX for UC but did not get that. He told me to get some pepto...

    UC update

    By Ennis-TX,

    So for the past 3 weeks I have been on a carnivore keto diet for the UC flare. Started off with just eggs and canned tuna but I have been adding other meats and happy I can eat many without issues I used to not. Salmon, Pot Roast, Chicken Salad, Steak, Turkey Bacon, Turkey Sausage (mild), Beef stew (only the beef in it), Tuna Salad, etc. But with this I have hardly any gas and no bloat/gas pains. I am happy enjoying meats again without issues and am glad about this little issue...
