The UNwhich

Eating out doesn't have to be hard on the Keto Diet. We've discovered a few places that will cater to your food needs while you are on the road or in a hurry!

Our recent favorite place to dine is Jimmy Johns! What you are looking at is called the "Unwich" this one in particular is the LuLu sandwich... Unwiched! (no bread for those low carb lovers!)


OR make it at home: This was my version of the Unwiched LuLu!

Turkey
bacon
provolone
tomato
mayo
lettuce leaves

... not as pretty but very delicious!

ZERO CARB BREAD!? Introducing, Oopsie Rolls!


Oopsie Rolls

INGREDIENTS:
3 large eggs (separated)
1 packet of Stevia (1 packet = about 1/4 tsp)
1 dash salt
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
4 ounces fat-free cream cheese (cold)

Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees.
Separate the eggs – yolks from white.
In a small glass or stainless steel bowl, mix egg whites and cream of tartar for about 3-5 minutes or until stiff and dry (egg whites should look and feel like meringue or are stiff enough to form a “mountain peak” without toppling over).

In a separate bowl, mix the Stevia, salt and cream cheese with the yolks. **optional: add desired flavor(s) to the yolk mixture.

Using a spatula, gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture do 1/3 at a time into the white mixture. Do with care so you do not break down the whites.
Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray or use parchment paper. Spoon the mixture on the sheet. Make 6 rounds then partially flatten each mound.

Bake for 35 minutes (you want them slightly softer, not crumbly). Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes, and then remove to a rack and allow them to cool.
Store in a loosely open sack and allow to rest on the counter before use (otherwise they might be too moist). May be refrigerated or frozen.
