Leberkäse meets Avocado {low carb appetizer}

Leberkäse is a type of meet in Bavaria/Austria. And it's yummie!
But the typical way to enjoy it, is in a Bun and some mustard.
But Buns aren't low carb ;) so you'll need to get creative.

I stood in the kitchen hungry as always and tried to experiment. I love Avocados and... could I compare them? Let's try! While mashing the Avocados I thought about giving them a new taste, how about some lemon juice and a bit of balsamic vinegar? The cream gets a bit of a fresh sourness you can spice it up with some chillies or some herbs. But I prefer it that way :)

Ingredients:

100 gr Leberkäse
1 Avocado
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 half Lemon

1 fry the meat until it's roasted
2 mash the avocado and mix all other ingredients
3 coat the avocado cream and layer the meat
4 enjoy!

hope you'd enjoyed my new low carb recipe.

vanilla tartes {low carb}

It's pretty amazing how good it went to bake low carb. There's one point it's much more expensively than "regular" ingredients. Xylit sugar costs about 10 more times than regular ones, even 200 gr Almonds compare to flour. I was pretty amazed of the taste even the topping went pretty well.  For some people it tasted a bit sweeter but I'm still trying to balance the sweetness ;)
My BF was sooo happy that he could try my cupcakes > his words "eating cupcakes and not falling into ketose again yaaaay! Keep on baking! Ok don't let me talk to much about it. Try it! You will love it as i do!

Ingredients:
Tartes

• 200gr almonds
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 egg white
• 50 gr xilit
• 1 teasp salt 
• 1 teasp bakingpowder 

Cream

• 200gr cream cheese
• 1 pck sugarfree pudding 

1 beat the egg whites until foamy

1.1 preheat your oven to 150°

We love Pictures {Men}

Oh yes! I'm still on track! At first i want to say thank you to Jenny who made the pics while working :)

It's was a great idea to show how i work and to see the result! And I must say- I rock! <3

In my opinion it's not really easy capturing Men. The don't have a lot of sexy poses like women do.

But Istvan made a good job! Have a nice day!

grilled cucumber loves serrano{ low carb appetizer}

Yay it's got asparagus time in Germany but i feel like i had it every day.
I love asparagus but i do love Serrano kinda more :) do you remember my post of Spain? It's 2 years ago. I enjoyed Anti Pasti in thousand ways! mhhhhhh yummie!

So here we go i peeled a cucumber and started grilling it. I remember I had a some grilled cucumber stripes in a restaurant and it was awesome. If you gill it it loses the origin taste, it's hard to describe how it tastes but it's worth! Then use some sel de mer and other spices and wrap it with the Serrano.
Now comes the best part we Filipinos love to drizzle some calamasi or lemon juice over savory dishes :) At least I peeled some Feta cheese on top - and we're done! Italian and Spanish people love to drizzle also some olive oil to refine. I hope you'd enjoyed.

Ingredienst:

1 cucumber
1 pck Serrano
3-4 tbsp Olive oil
Salt&pepper and other spices
1/2 lemon/calamansi
20gr Feta cheese

Rolled bacon eggs{low carb-appetizer}

The thing is if you do low carb you need to get creative, otherwise you'll eat the same dishes every day.
I got pretty soon fed up with eating salami stick between lunch and dinner and i really wanted to eat eggs..don't know why. But I stood in the kitchen and thought about what I could compare or upgrade or or or.. Bacon and eggs? They are usually seen on the breakfast table ... bahahahha but i don't really care. I think that's a nice appetizer which looks really great and tastes crunchy- let's call it crunchy delight - even there's another fact, if you prepare them you could take them to work and enjoy them there. We don't have a oven at work so I'll need to prepare my food for lunch, which is quiet ok, i love to cook ;) Do i need to explain you how it's made? There's no real recipe, just cook the eggs- peel it and roll the bacon around them and then fry it in a pan. You could adjust some mustard or mayo onto the egg, but I think if you fry it the mayo or mustard won't stick on the egg :)
