Jamaican Jerk Chicken

My husband is doing a low carb diet again, so I am always on the lookout for recipes that work well for the whole family. Here is one that fit the bill pretty well, although it is really spicy. I decided to leave a couple pieces out of the marinade and bake them on the side for Orion. I made brown rice to go with mine. It was really good, except I found it to be too salty. I think I will cut it down next time I make it. Jamaican Jerk Chicken Ingredients 2 tablespoons garlic powder 1 tablespoon ground allspice 1 tablespoon dried ground thyme 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper 1 1/2 teaspoons dried ground sage 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons kosher salt 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (xylitol for me as usual) 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup soy sauce 3/4 cup white vinegar 1/2 cup orange juice 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 scotch bonnet pepper or 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped finely (I didn't actually use th...

Fried Zucchini!

I haven't posted anything recently because I was in CA for a week. But being there reminded me of something I cooked there last time. As I may never make this again, I figured I would throw out the basics of what I did. My dad had found a MONSTER zucchini in the garden. His eyesight is going, and he didn't even realize it was down there turning into a great seed bearer LOL. It brought back memories of my dad making fried zucchini when I was a little girl, so I started thinking about how I could do it gluten free. I went to Lassen's, hoping to find gluten free bread crumbs, but they didn't have them, so I thought outside the box (or inside the box as it turned out haha) and started looking at the cereals. I found a corn based one with almost no sugar and decided to give it a try (sorry I don't remember the exact name, but it was shaped like spheres). Also, I don't really have ingredient amounts as I just winged it, but it would depend on the size of the zuke anyw...

Coconut Bread

I found this recipe on a low carb site and couldn't wait to try it. Coconut flour is usually used mixed with other flours, so I was really curious what the consistency would be like. It was kindof odd. The first impression in your mouth is moist, but it is very dense at the same time, and gave the impression of being dry. I loved the flavor though! It is lightly sweet, and could almost be classified as a cake. I would love to try adding some flavor extracts. It reminded me of sweet cornbread in a way. The batter was VERY thick, and didn't fill up much of the pan as you can see below. COCONUT BREAD 3/4 cup coconut flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 6 eggs 1/2 cup Earth Balance 2 tablespoons sugar or xylitol (would also like to try honey and agave!) Sift the first 3 ingredients into a small bowl; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients well. Add the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth with no lumps. It will lo...
