Great start schizm!
I think I want to cook me up some of those.

Add some apples and Golden Gains = ftw! :D

For sure! I bet just reducing some of the flour & oatmeal some, would allow some scoopages of GG in there nicely...

perhaps wash it down with a strawberry/pineapple/PsyKO smoothie... :yup:
 
Bump n snack

borrowed this tasty one from Snag...grab a couple for a snack or to satisfy a sweet craving....

1.5 cups oats
6 TBS natty PB
3 scoops Protein (a blend is better than straight whey, Lipotropic Vanilla or Choc PB is really good, bet golden gains would fair well here too!)
2 TBS honey
1 cup raisins
1/8 cup water

mix, ball em up, toss in the fridge (or freezer if you like ‘frozen cookie dough’ ;) & eat...

Oh yeah, wow! Protein cookies........That brings back memories of those delicious protein cookies that AI(i think!) had years ago... They still taste good even with the protein in there?

choice of protein & flavor makes the difference...straight whey, didn't turn out so well (very paste-y)...using a blend, which I've only tried Lg's Lipo (vanilla/choc PB)...turned out (imo) well, I would think myo or syntha would fit well....of course my wife accuses me of not having any taste buds when it comes to food ;)

In college I tried a similar recipe but since in a dorm setting tried baking them at home, bringing back...turned out like a moist granola bar....first batch didn't store in the fridge and they grew 'fur' over the course of a week...:34:

Damn it Eric you kill me with this I love pancakes ;)

but now i can`t devastate with my beloved "Buttermilk`s" pancakes
 
It took a while to get to this recipe, i've been adjusting it over the last couple years. My wife + kids like the banana pecan pancakes and so I tried to work out a recipe I could eat and not feel bad about (or waste a cheat meal on). Whats funny is that now they like these better than restaurant banana pecan ones :)

You know, this thread with also having read that study on the level of ecdysterone in quinoa makes me want to try making a few quinoa based bread recipes. But first I gotta find quinoa flour at a reasonable price, holy cow its expensive at the natural stores

Well, I made the Enchilladas. I have to say, that recipe was fantastic. They came out really good. I'm going to experiment a little, and use steak for next time. These were delicious, I recommend everyone give them a shot sometime. :) Thanks again brother! Outstanding :bigok:

great to hear man! If I had better luck in being able to pick out a good cut of steak, I'd give it a go too...letting marinate for hours really makes all the difference as I found out the other week when I grilled some sirloin...

Well, that depends on how many brownies you cut the batch into. In the whole recipe there's approximately:

70g Fat
70g Protein (assuming WPI powder)
30-40g Carbs (of which 20-30g is fiber)

The carb content also varies depending on the kind of baby food you get - i.e. avoid the ones that have like 40g of sugar. Who feeds their baby that crap anyways?

lol, "Yes I can" - die of obesity related health issues!

Anyways, here' another recipe:

Low Carb Fried chicken:

Breading:
mix soy flour, ground flax and ground walnuts together in a large bowl with salt, pepper and coriander. I don't have measurements for these ingredients, I always just kind of wing it. You only need a little bit of flax and walnuts, which help thicken the breading, and a fair amount of soy flour.

beat 2 or 3 eggs in another dish and add a bit of cream.

Flatten boneless, skinless chicken breast until about 1/2" thick, dip into beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the breading.

You can either deep fry this the old fashioned way, with a butt load of oil in a pan, or put some olive oil in a spray bottle, spritz it over the chicken and bake at 300 for 1/2hr or until brown.

In college (mid-late 90's) I did alot of low carbing...one time I picked up a couple containers of Atkins low carb, high protein pancake mix...and low carb syrup...wost.pancakes.ever.
 
Ok I made these today, baking right now.

Quinoa chocolate peanut butter cookies

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup naturally more peanut butter

Soften then cream the butter with the brown sugar. Add the rest of the wet ingredients, mix. mix the dry ingredients together then slowly add to the wet mix. Bake for approx 12 minutes on a greased cookie sheet.

they ended up a little more ball like, so next time i'll either add some more fat or flatten them when I put them on the cookie sheet, rather than as balls. I'll report on the taste after lunch :)
 
well, they ended up being a little bit on the dry + crumbly side, but not too bad. Tasted good at least. I figure next time i'll go with a full cup of peanut butter, that should help.
 
How 'bout some SLOW COOKED BEEF BACK RIBS?

For those clean bulk dinners where you gotta pack down a ton of cals and want to enjoy it without "cheating" (provided you're on a lower carb diet and have the fat to spare)

Rub down a rack of ribs with a bit of dijon mustard and crushed garlic, then sprinkle liberally with Splenda, black pepper, sea salt, coriander, sage, and rosemary.

Throw it in a deep pan, add a cup of water to the bottom, cover it all in foil and cook at 225 for 4-6hrs.

Tastes especially good with my homemade BBQ sauce:
1 Cup Sugar-Free Ketchup
2 Tbsp Mustard
2 Tbsp Liquid Smoke
A good shake of Worcestershire sauce
A good squeeze of Sri-Racha
Pepper

Those look great Easy! I wonder how they'd fair if one were to sub out the butter for coconut oil? plus the 1 cup PB...hmmm...

yeah, I was thinking that too. possibly be a little bit softer, also would be a nice taste. I was thinking maybe going as high as 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup coconut oil, plus the full cup of PB next time. We'll see, gotta finish those first :D
 
I've sent the recipes off to all the CL team members. We'll be choosing them soon and I'll post the winners.

Thanks guys, these were awesome... I can't wait to cook some of these. The Controlled Labs Cookbook is going to be epic too. :)

Stay tuned for the winners!
