Dessert Rolls

!-- Previous to this post I put up a feature ("CopyCat") of Elizabeth Nimphius's low-carb stromboli. This is a modified version of her dough recipe to be used for dessert rolls (think chocolate logs, rollups, pinwheels, etc). In this post I will focus on a cream cheese roll I made, but I will also show dark chocolate rolls. I'd like to stress again how versatile Elizabeth's stromboli dough is, because I have many ideas bouncing around in my...

[CopyCat] Stromboli

One of the things that excites me about eating low-carb is the necessity to cook. I could spend an exorbitant amount of money on pre-made salads and other dishes that I have requested to be made low-carb, but that is not as satisfying as buying my groceries for decent prices and preparing dishes I love.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Obviously if you have a perfect cookie that can act as a base, you have to use it as a base... and what is better than a peanut butter cookie base!?

These bad boys use the peanut butter cookie base I posted earlier, but with chocolate! So, we have, peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. Right! Update: fixed total nutritional values. Look...

[CopyCat] Peanut Butter Cookies

One of my favourite things to bake with is peanut butter. I love the flavour and the texture, and just generally find it very satisfying. This recipe is not one that originated from my kitchen, but one I adapted and altered for other recipes. I really enjoy this recipe as the cookie is delicate, soft, and light, and isn't overpoweringly sweet. A word of caution: these cookies are fragile. Be careful when moving them, storing them, etc. The S.O....
