2 Low-Carb Treats that Fit a Budget

These are 2 things you can whip up really quickly that taste great, and are not expensive to make.

Mocha Coffee

All you will need is:

Favorite coffee [flavored works, too]
heavy cream
sea salt
sweetener [stevia]
dark chocolate [over 85%]












Grab a glass pyrex cup or microwave safe mug. Mix in 1 cube dark chocolate with 2-4T of heavy cream and sweetener. Microwave for 30-60 seconds until chocolate has melted. Stir the bottom to infuse any remaining chocolate and slowly add coffee. Add more sweetener if you need it, the chocolate should be strong.

Open-face "New Orleans" Omelette 

After thinking this up I looked around online to see if I could find a name that fit for it, but I couldn't find anything. This seemed the best in my mind.

Here's what you will need:

I prepped for a few omelletes, so this isn't all for 1 omellete.

Recipe is for 1 small omellete, double or triple if you like.

• 2 eggs
• 1oz water
• 1/4tsp baking soda (just use salt if yours is really old)
• ~1/3c sausage, any kind works. I prefer the spicy pork, but pick what you like. Andouille is ideal.
• ~1/3c crab meat, or the fake stuff like I have. 
• mozzarella
• 2-3oz cream cheese
• roasted garlic
• paprika
• old bay
• olive oil and/or Pam
• pepper
• chipotle (optional, but recommended)
• stevia (optional)

Mix up the water, eggs and baking soda. This is going to make a very fluffy omellete. If you want to add the roasted garlic whisk or blend it in at this stage.

Prep the fillings. You will have about 1 cup (combined) worth of crab meat, sausage and cream cheese that you can pile onto this thing, so get that all sorted out and set aside.

Those with a toaster oven: Turn the heat to medium high on the stove and set the toaster oven to broil or the highest setting.

Without a toaster oven: Turn heat to medium low on the stove

Add any oil you like to the pan, 2-3T and spray the pan with Pam to make sure you can get it off clean. 

When the pan gets hot place the egg mixture in and stir it around, scrambling it. When it's about 1/4 cooked you should be able to mold it back into an omellete shape without any effort.

Place is toaster oven to finish top, or cover with a lid and steam finished. 

Add crab meat, sausage and cream cheese. Coat with a liberal amount of paprika, chipotle, a few shakes of Old Bay, black pepper and cover with mozzarella. 

Place in the toaster oven until the cheese has melted. Or, replace lid after adding a small amount of water along the edge of the pan next to the omellete to aid in steaming..

Serve and enjoy
