Buffalo Wings

Buffalo Wings

20 Frozen Chicken Wings
1/2 c. Franks Red Hot Sauce (Original)
1/3 c. Melted Butter
1/2 tsp Garlic Salt
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper

Mix all ingredients except chicken wings in a large bowl. If the Franks Red Hot Sauce was cold, you may have to microwave it a bit as the melted butter will solidify in the cold sauce. Set aside.

In a deep fryer or pan, heat oil to 360 and cook wings for around 12 minutes or until done (165 degrees for poultry.)  You can do this in hot oil on the stove top or in the oven as well. You want the wings a bit crispy on the outside. When done toss the wings around in the sauce. You could eat them now; but I like to put them in the oven at 425 for about 5 minutes. This gives you a layer of crispy flavor! When they come out of the oven I toss them in the sauce again! Serve with Ranch or Blue Cheese Dressing and enjoy!

Cream Cheese Pancakes (or Crepes)


Cream Cheese Pancakes

2 oz Cream Cheese
2 Eggs
½ tsp Cinnamon
1 pkt Stevia

Warm the cream cheese so that it's mixable, combine all ingredients (I used a blender), and use like normal pancake batter. Top with sugar free syrup or ground xylitol. They will be thin and tear easily but have a good flavor!

Oopsie Roll




Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 packet of Splenda
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1 pinch cream of tartar
  • 3 ounces cream cheese

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Separate the eggs and add Splenda, salt, and cream cheese to the yolks. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients together. 
  • In a separate bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff (if you're using the same mixer, mix the whites first and then the yolk mixture).
  • Using a spatula, gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture, being careful not to break down the whites. 
  • Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray and spoon the mixture onto the sheet, making 6 mounds. Flatten each mound slightly. 
  • Bake about 30 minutes (You want them slightly softer, not crumbly). Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes, and then remove to a rack and allow them to cool. Store them in a bread sack or a ziplock bag to keep them from drying out.
