Giraffe's Old Fashioned Low-Carb Blueberry Cobbler

We're on a dessert kick again this week and have been craving pie-like dishes.  When we were kids, our mothers cooked many dishes and fabulous desserts with Bisquick, which of course had tons of carbs, but was delicious.  We miss using Bisquick for our pancakes, muffins, etc.

However, we found a product that tastes unbelievably similar to Bisquick - Carbquik, and only has 2 net grams of carbs per serving.  

We haven't been able to find Carbquik at our local grocery stores. However, we did find it on Amazon.com at $14 for a large 3 pound box.  And with our Prime Membership, the shipping was free.  

I feel like a kid in a candy shop!  Carbquik gives us endless ideas for scrumptious dishes.

This week's tantalizing treat is an Old Fashioned Low-Carb Blueberry Cobbler! We only had to wait 30 minutes for our pie-like dish to reach our mouths. (Thank goodness 😋 ~ because the smells from oven were divine)

At only 7 grams of carbs for the entire "pie," our recipe required only 5 minutes of preparation time and 25 minutes of baking.  

Our ingredients include:

• 1 Cup Carbquik
• 1 Cup Sweetener
• 1 Container of Fresh Blueberries
• 1 Egg
• 1 Stick of Margarine
• 1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
• 1/4th tsp. Tapioca

We'll begin by spraying our pie dish with cooking spray and preheating our oven to 350F degrees.

Next, we'll empty our blueberries into our pie dish.

We'll then, pour our lemon juice and Tapioca over our blueberries.  The Tapioca will assist in thickening our blueberries, as they cook.

Over the Holiday Seasons, we'll bake our pies with Tapioca, to help thicken the pie filling. The Tapioca works like a charm.

We'll place our blueberries aside and will prepare our crumble.

We'll now, place our Carbquik, sweetener, and egg into our mixing bowl.

Next, we'll stir our ingredients together with a fork, until our mixture is fully blended.

We'll then, pour our dry Carbquik mixture over our blueberries.

Next, we'll melt our Margarine in our microwave for about 1 minute, will pour over our Carbquik mixture, and will bake in our oven for 25 minutes or until the top is slightly browned.

We'll then, remove our cobbler from our oven after the time allotted and will allow to cool for 15 minutes.

Voila!!

Our amazingly scrumptious blueberry cobbler is ready to be served. 

The blueberries taste like blueberry pie from the holiday seasons and the crumble is lightly sweet and tasty!  

We could not believe how our old fashioned cobbler tasted like something from Grandma's kitchen.

Enjoy!

Smokey's Low-Carb Chocolate Cinnamon Cake Cookies

It's cookie time again!!  

Our cravings we're working in overtime last night. So, we decided to attempt another low-carb cookie recipe, with something chocolate.  Our end result was a piece of absolutely fabulous yummy chocolate divinity.   

These cookies are light, tasty, and fluffy and resemble chocolate cake, but in the form of a cookie. 

Each cookie has a mere 2 grams of carbs!

We prepared our cookie dough in roughly 5 minutes and waited for them to cook for 20 more minutes.

Our 8 ingredients included:

• 8 oz. Package of Cream Cheese
• 1 Stick of Margarine or Butter
• 1 Egg
• 1 Cup of Almond Flour
• 1/2 Cup of Sweetener
• 2 Tbsp. Cocoa
• 1 tsp. Cinnamon
• 1 tsp. Vanilla

We'll begin by adding our Cream Cheese and Margarine to our mixing bowl and will cook for 1 minute, until melted.

We'll then, stir our mixture slightly with our spoon and will continue to beat with our hand beater, until well blended.

Next, we'll beat in our egg, until our mixture is well blended.

We'll then, add our Sweetener, Almond Flour, Cocoa, Cinnamon, Vanilla, and will stir until thoroughly mixed together.

Next, we'll pre-heat our oven to 325F degrees.  

We will then, prepare our baking sheets, by spraying them with cooking spray, lining them with Parchment Paper, and once again spraying with cooking spray.

This will ensure that neither our Parchment Paper nor our cookies will stick to any surface.

We'll then, use our cookie scooper to place about 1 Tbsp. of dough onto our pan, and will continue doing so, until our dough has been depleted.

We'll then, place our cookies into our oven and will bake at 325F degrees or until slightly browned.

We'll next,  remove our cookies from our oven and will allow to cool for at least 20 minutes.

The longer the cookies rest, the sweeter they will taste. 

We'll therefore, eat a couple of cookies after they have cooled from the oven (to satisfy those unnerving cravings 😀) and will then place them in our refrigerator overnight for their sweetness to surface.

Enjoy these scrumptious cake-like chocolate cookies!!  Chocolate is always a cure for satisfying our cravings.  

They sure satisfied ours last night.  😀
