90-Second Microwave Cheese Bread Wedges

90-Second Microwave Cheese Bread Wedges

Here in the Treasure Valley of Idaho, we are experiencing a mild winter. There is plenty of precipitation. The temperatures are just too high to support snow. It is almost sad to see courageous little flakes attempt a landing, only to melt immediately. We were buried in snow last year, so this is quite a change.

It is still cold though, so I am craving comfort food. These cheese wedges are fatty and filling. Often, I do not need anything else.

4th & Heart White Truffle Salt Ghee Butter

90-SECOND MICROWAVE
CHEESE BREAD WEDGES

Prep Time: 3 min

Cook Time: 2 min

INGREDIENTS

• 1 egg, whisked
• 1/3 cup almond flour 
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon Pink Himalayan salt
• 2 and 1/2 tablespoons ghee or coconut oil, melted (I used 4th & Heart White Truffle Salt Ghee)
• 1/4 cup grated cheddar

NOTE: There’s no need to grease the mug since there is plenty of fat in the bread.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Use a microwaveable mug.
2. Crack the egg inside the mug and beat it.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and stir with a fork.
4. Microwave for 90 seconds on high.
5. Turn the mug upside down to pop it out.
6. Gently cut into wedges.

I don’t butter the bread because of the Ghee.

"Keto." by Maria Emmerich

I consider adhering to a ketogenic diet an easy task. Even so, my history with food has developed certain challenges. Occasionally, I hit a plateau or experience intestinal turbulence. When I do, International Bestselling Author, Maria Emmerich, has savvy and practical solutions to any stall in my progress.

Happily, after meeting Maria in person, I was afforded the honor of spotlighting her books here at Everlovin' Low-Carb. I was expectant and excited when I received my first delivery from Victory Belt Publishing. Inside were 2 hot-off-the-press recipe books! I marvel that Maria never seems to run out of inspiration.

Today, I will be featuring Keto. (The Complete Guide to Success on the Keto Diet, Including Simplified Science and No-Cook Meals).  I like to refer to it as "Keto ... Period".

This installment is even more special because Craig Emmerich, Maria's husband, co-authored the book with her. When Maria began her ketogenic journey, Craig was supportive but not on board. Eventually, he surrendered to the keto lifestyle and shed his beer belly in the process. It is wonderful to have his point-of-view intertwined.

After taking a tour through the information-packed pages, I realized that this book is not a mere band-aid, but a tool to recognize the root causes of disease and chronic conditions. It is intended to introduce us to the way our bodies function—while inspiring us to incorporate an optimized ketogenic system that suits our own particular needs and goals.

"Keto." is a compendium for the novice and those who are experienced practitioners of the keto lifestyle. I have already pinpointed some tips to take me to my next phase of weight loss. It is concisely written and extremely relatable.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Which tests are good markers for health and longevity
• Identifying root causes
• What a well-formulated ketogenic diet looks like
• How to figure out your optimal macronutrient ranges
• How our hormones affect our bodies
• How to modify or add to keto for healing from specific diseases and chronic illnesses
• How to avoid common mistakes
• Why nutrient density matters and how to identify the most nutrient dense foods
• Intermittent and long-term fasting, and how to do it properly
• How a ketogenic lifestyle affects athletes
• Two 7-day no-cook meal plans (one is dairy and nut free!) with grocery lists
• Additional tips for healing at the cellular level
• Myths, graphs, and permissible food lists

NOTE: "My Story: Removing the Carbage" is located on a tab—just beneath my blog banner. It will give you insight into the background of my battles with weight. I believe that our history is key to understanding our relationship with food.

You also have the option to design your own bowl... First, you “Make your bed”: White or Brown Rice, Spring Mix, Zucchini Zoodles, or Chips. Second, you “Pick your catch”: Salmon, Tuna, Traditional Poké, Spicy Tuna, Hamachi, Shrimp, Scallops, and Tofu. Third, you “Select your goods”: Avocado, Crab, Seaweed Salad, Ginger, Onions, and Cucumber. Fourth, you “Sauce it up”: Piranha Sauce, Spicy Piranha, Hawaiian Shoyu, Paleo Pineapple, Citrus Ponzu, Korean Bae, and Outrigger Teriyaki. Fifth, you “Top it off”: these items range from Carrots to Wanton Crisps to Wasabi to Spicy Aioli.

The staff is remarkable; the food is fresh; the place is clean and spacious. Best of all, our meals were tastebud-tingling and delicious!
