Baked Garlic Wings

This is a George Stella recipe from his cook book "Real Food, Real Easy". He is one of my very favorite low carb cooks and I would definitely recommend his books. The pictures alone are worth it!

Baked Garlic Wings

Serves 12:

4 pounds chicken wings

2 T. olive oil

2 1/2 T. minced garlic

1 t. garlic powder

1 t salt

1/2 t. black pepper

1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 375. (I set it on 350 for mine)

In a large bowl, combine the wings, olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss all the wings in the mixture to coat.

Place the wings on a cookie sheet lined in aluminum foil and sprayed with non-stick cooking spray so they don't stick. ( I didn't and I was pulling them off the foil)

Bake for one hour or until the skin becomes crispy.

Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on the wings while they're still warm and shake them around to evenly coat them.

Serve immediately.

I ate way too many of these last night at dinner. They are so good and I like wings anyway. Another idea is to skip the cheese and use 2 T. of honey and add a pinch of ground cayenne pepper. I want to do that next time. Nature's Hollow makes a low carb honey substitute that I use.



Garlic Cheddar Biscuits Made With Coconut Flour

Garlic Cheddar Biscuits

We've come such a long way in the world of low carb eating. I remember several years ago when I first discovered the Atkins diet. We pretty much were limited to using soy flour or Atkins bake mix for baking with. I never cared for either one or the newer Carbquik mix. So I was skeptical about whether these would be good. Well, let me tell you, they are very close to the real thing like the ones they serve at a popular seafood restaurant. These are also very filling, I think. I ate one at breakfast as soon as they were done and cooled enough to eat and I was full.

I found the recipe at this blog:  Sugar Free Low Carb

You can print the recipe from her blog but be aware that there is a mistake if you do it that way. I used the print option and when it finished printing out it didn't have  the garlic powder in the list of ingredients. Just giving you a heads up if she hasn't fixed it.

This was my first time at cooking with coconut flour and I'm happy with the results I had with these biscuits. Now I'm thinking of purchasing this book: Cooking With Coconut Flour by Bruce Fifie to add to my ever growing collection of low carb cook books.
