Cold-Brewed Coffee — THM S or FP

/ glenda1969 / 4 Comments

Hot humid summer days are here and there’s nothing more refreshing than a cup or two of Iced Cold-Brewed Coffee. I keep cold-brewed coffee concentrate in my fridge all summer long for a quick drink. It tastes so much better when made with freshly ground coffee beans given to you from Nicaragua and Nepal.

Cold-brewed Iced Coffee

  • 4 cups freshly ground coffee
  • 1/3 cup vanilla
  • Cold water to fill gallon jar

Combine coffee grounds and vanilla in a gallon glass jar. Fill with cold water. Allow the coffee to brew/steep at room temperature for 12-24 hours. Strain through a muslin cloth. Discard grounds. Refrigerate concentrate.  To make iced coffee use 1 part concentrate, 1 part nut milk, 1 part ice, and sweetener of your choice.

This can also be brewed in a French Press using 1/2 of the recipe.

THM-S  1/2 cup coffee concentrate, 1/4 cup nut milk, 1/4 cup cream, 6-8 ice cubes, sweetener of you choice.

THM-FP 1/2 cup coffee concentrate, 1/2 cup nut milk, 6-8 ice cubes, 1 tablespoon THM collagen

I will freeze ice cube trays of concentrate to use to make frappes.

I will at times add 1 scoop THM Whey Protein powder to us this as a meal replacement when I am out for the day.

You can also blend the ice, coffee, cream/milk, sweetener together for a frappe. I made 10 gallons of concentrate to serve at our daughter’s wedding.

Root-beer Float Finger Jello – THM FP or S

/ glenda1969 / Leave a comment

If you love the taste of Root-beer Floats you’ll love this finger jello. Best of all it is sugar-free, gluten free, and can be dairy-free as a THM FP. There is also an option for THM S with cream. Rootbeer Float Finger Jello

Root beer part:

White Part:

  • 1 cup cream for THM S OR 1 cup almond milk for THM FP
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoon THM Gentle Sweet

Root beer part: Soften gelatin in 1 cup water for 5 minutes.  Bring remaining water to a boil, remove from heat and whisk in soften gelatin. Stir until it is all dissolved. Add extract and sweetener. Pour into a 9-inch square pan. Chill until set. White part: Soften gelatin in 1/2 cup cream (THM S) OR almond milk (THM FP) for 5 minutes. Heat remaining almond milk (THM FP) OR cream (THM S)until almost a boil. Whisk in gelatin until dissolved. Add vanilla and Gentle Sweet. Pour over root beer mixture and chill. Cut into 20 pieces.

*some extracts are stronger, you may want to add less and taste before adding the entire amount.

Using all cream will be a THM S. Using all almond milk will be a THM FP. I will sometimes use 1/2 cup cream and 1/2 cup almond milk to still have a creamy taste but with a reduced calorie load. You can still eat 3 pieces and be under 5 grams of fat.

Chipotle Sandwich Sauce – THM FP

/ glenda1969 / Leave a comment

My family loves sandwiches on hot, humid, summer days. Most bread options are an E and I wanted a tasty sauce that is low in fat so it can be add to a sandwich without having a crossover. A family favorite is Sourdough Flat-breads filled with various kinds of meat. Pictured below is grilled chicken tenders on Sourdough Flatbread with Chipotle Sandwich Sauce and extra Chipotle hot sauce simply because I like the added heat. This sandwich is an E because of the Sourdough Flatbread and sauce can be used in an S or FP setting.

Chipotle Sandwich Sauce

  • 1/3 cup Duke Mayonaise
  • 2/3 cup Fat-free Greek Yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup, sugar free
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoon chopped dill pickles
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon THM Gentle Sweet
  • 1-3 teaspoons Chipotle Hot sauce 

Combine  all ingredients in a bowl. Blend until smooth with a hand blender.  Store in the refrigerator. 1 1/4 cups Chipotle sauce. 1 tablespoon sauce is 3.0 grams of fat. I limit myself to 1 tablespoon for an E meal but more could be used in an S meal.

Sourdough Biscuits THM–Crossover

/ glenda1969 / Leave a comment

Delicious soft Sourdough Biscuits add that special touch to a meal. These are a THM crossover because they contain both carbs (wheat flour) and fats (butter). I brushed these biscuits with melted garlic butter to mimic Red Lobster Biscuits. This biscuit dough  can be mixed several days in advance and kept in the fridge. In fact I prefer working with cold dough as it handles much better.biscuits

Sourdough Biscuits

  • 2 ¼ cups white whole wheat flour, I used Arrowhead Mills Pastry Flour***
  • 6 tablespoons butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 2/3 cup sourdough starter
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Combine whole wheat flour and butter in a mixer bowl. Mix until crumbly. Add milk and sourdough starter. Mix well. Place in a bowl, cover tightly and refrigerate for 24 hours. Remove from refrigerator. *Sprinkle baking powder, salt, and baking soda on biscuit dough. Knead until thoroughly mixed. **Press dough out ½ inch thick, fold in thirds, press out again, repeat from * twice. Cut with a biscuit cutter and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 425 degree for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.

*An easy way to sprinkle on the baking powder mixture is to put it in a Pampered Chef Shaker.

**When you fold the dough multiple times you will get flaky layered biscuits.

***I used Arrowhead Mills Pastry flour which is made from soft white spring wheat berries. It has less gluten and makes wonderful biscuits. It is 100% whole grain flour.

For Red Lobster Biscuits: 1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese maybe kneaded in the dough along with the baking powder mixture. Melt 3 tablespoons butter. Add 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 2 teaspoons parsley. Brush over biscuits when removed from oven.

Triple Berry Jam THM–FP

/ glenda1969 / 2 Comments

Summer is coming and with it comes delicious berries of all kinds. Triple Berry Jam has become my favorite. I will eat it over ice cream, yogurt, cottage cheese , and I must admit even right from the jar for dessert. Triple Berry Jam

  • 1 ½ cup Black Raspberry juice*, divided
  • 3 cups blended Red raspberries
  • 4 cups blended strawberries**
  • 1 cup xylitol
  • 1 ¼ cup THM Gentle Sweet
  • 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
  • 1/3 cup strawberry xylitol jell-o

Combine 1 cup black raspberry juice, red raspberries and strawberries in medium-size kettle. Soften unflavored gelatin in remaining ½ cup raspberry juice. Bring fruit mixture to a boil. Whisk in xylitol and Gentle Sweet. Add softened gelatin and strawberry jell-o. Whisk until well combined. Bring to a boil. Ladle into jars, add lids and rings. Cool. 4-5 pints jam.

I  store the jam in my extra refrigerator for up to a year. This jam will need to be refrigerated to set up properly with gelatin. You may adjust the gelatin for a thicker or thinner jam. I prefer my jam thick and my recipe will reflect that.

*I will steam my black raspberries with a Juice Steamer lined with cheesecloth. I then freeze or can the juice in the amount needed for this jam recipe.

**For Strawberry Jam use 8 1/2 cups blended strawberries instead of the 3 kinds of berries listed.

Strawberry Xylitol Jello can be purchased from this company or many bulk food stores do carry it.
