Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
That’s it, I will also restrain myself from too much internet today in order to avoid eventual April Fools inadvertent reposts. It’s raining but then, as I shall garden today, I wouldn’t but disappointed about some much needed water in my plants.
Let’s start a discussion here: what food do you wish you could cook a keto version of?
jelly donuts with powdered sugar.
Xanthane gum might help with the the jelly bit, erythritol with the sugary one.
I love swerve - but I’ve never baked with it… Have you? I was thinking about making some sugar cookies cause we have two bags of confectioners swerve.
I had to check: it’s mostly Erythritol so it is the same as what I use on this video: QnDJ's Keto Kooking Korner: Butter Cookies
Any ideas on a crunchy salty little nibble that's not nuts or bacon :).
Homemade bagel chips or croutons from French or Italian bread. I haven't made bagel chips, it's the same concept as croutons. You can season them anyway you like. I cut bread in small pieces, mix olive oil and garlic. There's so many seasoning mixes now the possibilities are endless. I broiled them, stirred around half way. You can bake also, broiling is faster but you gotta watch it, will burn. Can also do the concept with potatoes. Air fryer or bake in oven.
Yes I love my air fryer. I try to stay away from bread, but I do eat my homemade sourdough.
Croutons for a snack is a a great idea :)
YES! Like potato chip substitute.
Parmesan crisps. Just grate parm, put it on small blobs on parchment on a tray, add any herbs or seasonings such as pepper, bake at 425 for about 4-5 mins (or longer, just watch carefully.)
Grill cheese until it’s flat like a crisp then let it rest a second. You may add onion rings within the cheese.
I do love cheese cooked that way :). But I never tried it with onions.... mmmmmm
Thanks.
Maybe grill some pepper bays or sesame seeds with the rest. Enjoy and let me know how you got the best of it.
Fried provolone cheese is salty like bacon and crispy when fried...
