Low Carb Bites 1


This begins the low carb diet. (You're welcome, Amy!) Today I have a representation of the first round of tasty items created using one of a dieter's best friends: the mini muffin pan.

Tuna Egg and Cheese Bites


1 can tuna

1 egg

1/2 c. cheese, shredded

dash of: celery salt, black pepper, dill

equipment needed:


mini muffin pan(s)
non-stick cooking spray

1. Mix tuna, egg, and cheese in a small mixing bowl. Add seasonings.

2. Spray pan with cooking spray; press mixture into mini muffin pan.
NOTE: I came up with a little leftover tuna-egg-cheese mixture, so I added 2 more eggs to it and filled part of a second mini muffin pan.
3. Bake at 350˚ for about 20 minutes; until cheese looks bubbly.





Turkey and Cheese Bites

1 lb. ground turkey
1 c. shredded cheese
dash of: salt, garlic, poultry seasoning, black pepper

1. Mix turkey and cheese in a small mixing bowl. Add seasonings.

2. Spray pan with cooking spray; press mixture into mini muffin pan. (One pound of turkey, plus the cheese, filled two mini muffin pans exactly.)

3. Bake at 350˚ for about 20 minutes; until cheese looks bubbly.

Serve with ketchup or BBQ sauce, as you like.

Low carb, huh? Well, I suppose you could always make a sandwich out of them... :D

They do look tasty though, I particularly like the tuna ones.
