Luscious Lemon Yogurt Recipe

April 25, 2013 By Gwen Brown 49 Comments

Lemon Poppyseed Muffin in a Mug

March 28, 2013 By Gwen Brown 72 Comments

This (low carb) lemon poppyseed muffin is one of my favorite ways to start my day.  Lemons and poppyseeds make me cheerful. This is a really quick recipe to toss together, and you can either bake it up in the oven (in regular muffin cups…it will make 3 muffins), or microwave it in a mug…

Low Carb Pancake Recipe

March 17, 2013 By Gwen Brown 107 Comments

 Low carb pancakes were not on my radar screen last year, but since starting a low glycemic and controlled carb diet (Trim Healthy Mama), I was determined to find a way to carry on our Saturday brunch tradition.  The Trim Healthy Pancake recipe (E) in their book was good, but eggs and bacon were an…

Sugar Free Berry Syrup Recipe

March 6, 2013 By Gwen Brown 72 Comments

This sugar free syrup recipe is a weekly staple in my kitchen.  This completely guilt-free sweet, tangy, berry goodness tops my Greek yogurt snacks; my pancakes; my lovely muffin creations from the recipes in  Trim Healthy Mama (book review here).   And it does not stick to the muffin tops, if you get my drift….

Granola Bar Recipe

October 19, 2010 By Gwen Brown 9 Comments

This is the granola bar recipe of my dreams. I’d been on the hunt for a way to make my own granola bars for a couple of years now.  I kept finding recipes that required lots of ingredients, and too many steps.  Like “Make a double batch of granola, and then use it to make…

Scone Recipe: Oatmeal Scones with lemon poppyseed

July 1, 2010 By Gwen Brown Leave a Comment

In my quest for the perfect scone recipe, I discovered this lovely Scottish variation using oats.  Think oatmeal cookie meets scone.  The oats add something homey and filling, and make this recipe a healthy breakfast choice.  So I should feel no guilt whatsoever about piling them high with lemon curd or jam, right?  Right.
