Low Carb Cheese base pizza

October 26, 2020April 15, 2012

When I was younger, I accidentally set fire to the oven. Burnt, crispy cheese was one of my favourite naughty snacks. I usually made it in the frying pan but one day I thought it might be easier to stick it in the oven in a foil tray. I’m sure that would have been successful …

Chocolate Chip Bacon Cookies

October 26, 2020April 15, 2012

Much to my dismay (and figure), I do like cookies. Luckily, I’m pretty lazy so I prefer to make cakes rather than individual cookies. But when I saw this recipe, I knew I had to try it. Cookies: awesome. Bacon: awesome. Chocolate: awesome. Combined? Divine. So, as per usual, I can’t follow instructions. This is …

A little note….

A little note from me, October 2020. I started this blog back in 2012 and here we are, eight years later, and I’m revitalising it! This month I’ve carefully converted every recipe to a new recipe format which will hopefully make it much easier to follow. Some of the older entries have quite dodgy photos and I’m sorry about that, I guess I didn’t always have a decent camera. I can assure you the food tasted delicious and, in the interest of improving this blog, I’ll endeavour to remake some of the worst offenders and post new pictures.

I’ve always kept my instagram active and will develop some new recipes to add to this website. I’m terrible (still) to measuring and writing things down, it has to be said. At least some things don’t change.

Enjoy the new-look The Creative Caveman!

  • @theketodietapp @martinaslajerova posted this #recipe up on Facebook yesterday and because I'm easily influenced, I made them today.

#Lowcarb Savory Chile and Lime Granola Bars!

More or less followed the recipe except for the secret ingredient of Allulose syrup. But they are still #delicious 

I will have to hide them from myself.

  • Today's #lowcarb #dinner was #pizza topped with salami, yellow pepper and cherry tomatoes and a bit of cheddar cheese as I didn't have any mozzarella 

The crust? Oh, that was made from ground chicken breast. Of course.

  • Made a pie. Well, two #pies.

Creamy Curried Mushroom, Leek and Bacon Pie which I topped with @theketodietapp "dough" (which was actually for tortillas and taco shells but close enough!)

  • Low Carb Keto Cookie Dough Truffles from @martinaslajerova at @theketodietapp (except using cashew nut butter as I ran out of almond butter..)

Well, these are rather #delicious.

  • Clash of Culture #Pizza

#recipe more or less based on @theketodietapp @martinaslajerova #Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza 

(I know, weird, right?)

But I had no bacon so used Spanish ham instead. I also can't seem to roll anything into a round shape 

So Italian, American, Spanish but #lowcarb

  • Some friends gave us a shit-ton (that's a measurement, right?) of #figs today. (Thanks @nita_ciseta !) 

So I made fresh fig, prosciutto and pine nut pasta. Except.... I don't really eat pasta so used #courghetti , didn't have any prosciutto so used chorizo and left out the fresh parmesan (because, guess what, I didn't have any!)

It was #delicious !

So #spiralized #courgette with figs and chorizo... Topped with pinenuts.

  • Second time this month I've made @daniellewalker Peruvian Style Chicken and it was #delicious

More or less followed the recipe except I added some figs that I found in the fridge. Leftovers for days!

  • #dinner tonight was @meljoulwan 's (of wonderful #cookbook fame Well Fed) #recipe for Tandoori Chicken with Curry Pineapple Rice

(We all know the 'rice' is cauliflower, right?)

#delicious (as are all the recipes I've tried from Well Fed)

  • Made some Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Bites today from a recipe I found a while ago from @wholenewmom 

Halved the amount of sweetener in them because, well, I'm not overly keen on super sweet things. 

They are still #delicious

Chicken Chow Mein but using courgette noodles instead of egg noodles.

Consensus is: pretty close!

  • Tahini Honey Chicken Salad from a #recipe I saw on @chriskresser Facebook page the other day.

Except I used coconut amino garlic sauce (didn't have regular) and added toasted sliced almonds.

  • After ten days in the UK where getting a #salad or something without #bread seems to be near on impossible when you're on the go, was pleased to get home and start making my own #food 

#vegan food can be #delicious 

Cucumber and pineapple salad with red onions and a peanut, avocado oil and lime dressing.

  • Race prep.... 

Made these absolutely incredible (yes, honest!) Chickpea Mocha Brownies from @performance.chef book, #TheCyclingChef

Ready for @pedalsdedona on Sunday! Ish. Well, ready foodwise, at least.

Unless we eat them all beforehand.

  • Found a recipe on @theketodietapp by @martinaslajerova for Mexican Keto Empanadas.

Used it as inspiration for these because, well, I don't follow directions well and didn't have the lower moisture mozzarella cheese. Whatever that is!

So filling is beef and bacon. And did three different shaped pies to see which would work better. They are all #delicious and taste amazing.

  • Many (too many) years ago, one of my absolute favourite dishes to get in a restaurant was Chinese Chicken Salad.

In hindsight, there was really not much Chinese about it. And with its deep fried breaded crispy chicken and delicious fried noodles or wonton crisps, I suspect the description "salad" was also a bit suspect.

Anyway. I did a search for the recipe and came across Chinois Salad created by @wolfgangpuck ... Probably my lousy typing. It's kinda similar except Chinois is a cone shape hence the name.

I made it anyway. Well, kinda. I didn't have a few ingredients so substituted peanut butter instead of sesame paste. (What? It's similar, right!?) And sesame oil instead of peanut oil. 

And, sadly, but #lowcarb friendly, no fried wonton strips.

It was #delicious!
