In honour of #TBT, I believe this recipe needs another 15 minutes of fame…
Simple, sophisticated, delicate and SO underrated / overlooked.

October 21, 2014 at 3:14 pmThis looks amazing! I bet it would work really well as part of a big family christmas dinner. Definitely going to try it.
Heidi
October 22, 2014 at 7:30 pmThanks Kate! Yes do try – will be perfect as part of a large family dinner. And you could also play around with different stuffings…

November 20, 2014 at 1:17 pmHahaha! Although us girls just put on our ‘big girl pants’ and deal with it..! 😉
Alexandra
January 16, 2015 at 6:27 pmSounds absolutely delicious – and so easy! I guess the secret is to have the ham and butternut cooked in advance so you can just whip them together.
Heidi
January 18, 2015 at 8:53 amHi Alexandra!
Yes, definitely – I guess it’s key 😉
If you make quite a large ham, there’ll definitely be leftovers – or if you plan on making these, just be sure to slow cook the ham in advance, even if it’s only for the croquettes. Especially if you need plenty for a party.
And seeing as they’re really scrummy cold / at room temp too, I’d say it’s the perfect make-ahead party food.

January 28, 2015 at 3:23 pmWhat is nut butter?
Heidi
January 28, 2015 at 3:26 pmHi Louise,
It’s like peanut butter. You get a variety of nut butters – almond, macadamia, etc.
It’s basically nuts ground to a paste with some added plant-based oils.
Hope that helps! X
Alexandra
January 29, 2015 at 12:16 pmThis looks absolutely delicious! I love the idea of the lemon, which I imagine would add a really fresh taste and somewhat cut the richness of the lamb.
Heidi
January 29, 2015 at 12:59 pmIndeed! Lemon is always, always present in any lamb dish I make – it totally transforms it.

February 9, 2015 at 11:06 amGreat tips! I’m running my second half in 6 weeks time (eek!!) and i’m really not ready. After the first one I vowed never to do it again, yet some how here I am. Time to up the training a little bit I think! Jennie x
Heidi
February 9, 2015 at 11:14 amHey Jennie!
Good luck – I read your post after your last one and it looked like you had a lot of fun 🙂
I’m also doing another big one in 7.5weeks time, so I’ll also be training hard!
Somehow you always end up doing these things again, I guess it’s addictive!
Enjoy the training and prep and hope to see some pics on your blog! X
scarletscorchdroppers
February 9, 2015 at 11:15 amThanks Heidi! I’m running without my running buddy this time so the thought of getting all the way around on my own is a little bit scary! Trying to stay positive though!
Good luck with the next one, hope you’re enjoying the training!
x
Heidi
February 9, 2015 at 11:20 amThanks!
Training (beforehand) with your buddy will be just as helpful, just remember to really keep pushing and motivating yourself on the day! I find the general buzz of the atmosphere and people cheering you on also helps a lot!

February 18, 2015 at 11:46 amAre you using whole husks or powder?
Heidi
February 19, 2015 at 12:07 pmHi Sjanette,
It’s the powdered husks – although it’s quite a rough powder. You can find it at Dischem {South Africa} or any health store.

February 18, 2015 at 1:28 pmSome great tips here. I’ve always wanted to do a marathon but I can’t even runa round my block. My ears start aching, my chins start hurting and it just becomes so annoying so I stop. Hats off to anyone that runs marathons!

Well, believe it or not – I was never a runner, in fact, I was quite the couch-potato!
I used an app on my phone – it’s called ‘Couch to 5k’ or something like that. My husband and I used the app when we started running and it’s really great.
In no time you’ll be running 5, 10 and even 21km!

February 18, 2015 at 1:34 pmI really enjoy reading your blog and the food you present, especially because you’re healthy. Can I ask what Kassler is? Never heard of it before. Do you have any good breakfast ideas? Or lunch ideas that you can prepare in 15minutes or less? Thanks
http://www.enterspree.com
http://www.heychanelli.wordpress.com
Heidi
February 19, 2015 at 12:05 pmHi Chanele,
Thanks! Kassler is a smoked pork chop.
I have quite a few lunch and breakfast recipes – have a look at my recipes dropdown menu.
I love to cook food that is easy to prepare and doesn’t take too long – most of my recipes can be done quite quickly.
Also, most of the dinner recipes can be used for lunch too – especially the salads. Or you can just make some extra the night before and ‘recycle’ it for lunch – that’s what I do most of the time. It does save a lot of time and effort!
Let me know what type of foods you’d like to see {specific ingredients, etc} and I will post some recipes for you.

February 19, 2015 at 2:48 pmI didn’t see the category drop down box, I was looking for an actual menu bar..oops. I’ll have a look through them. The foods I eat have to be free of gluten, wheat and diary. I’m not allergic to it but I need to adapt to that lifestyle for my PCOS. In regards to actual food types, I’m actually not that picky.

Althea
March 11, 2015 at 8:51 amPlease could you let me know how much a block of cream cheese weighs – we get it in tubs in Australia. Thank you
Althea
Heidi
March 11, 2015 at 8:57 amHi Althea,
It’s 250g, but I didn’t use a whole block, probably only a third.
You really only need a small ‘blob’ inside each ball, about the size of the tip of your index finger…
It’s just easier when it’s in a block, then you can cut it into pieces, but cream cheese in a tub works fine too – just use a teaspoon to scoop out small ‘blobs’.
If that makes any sense at all?!

March 11, 2015 at 6:01 pmHi, the cauli pops recipe looks great, but please help me out. What is “psillium husk”?? Not familiar with it at all.
Heidi
March 12, 2015 at 10:21 pmHi Santie,
Psyllium husk is a seed husk that is indigestible and is used to aid in digestion. It also helps bind grain-free baking. It is basically fiber.
It helps to bind the cauliflower and makes it more sturdy.
You can get it at any health store.
Hope you find it!
vincent
March 11, 2015 at 6:21 pmOMW that sounds too gorgeous for words!! Psyllium Husk is a giant challenge on The Island though. Will try 2 TBS of Coconut Flour instead maybe?!
🙂 Vin
Heidi
March 12, 2015 at 10:17 pmHi Vin!
I wouldn’t do coconut flour – personally, I’m not a huge fan…
Just leave out the psyllium husk and wring the moisture out of the cauliflower using muslin cloth or a dish towel…

So, it’s #TBT {Throwback Thursday} and I thought I’d share on of my first recipes from the blog with all my new readers – and for all my ‘old’ readers, well, you can see how far we’ve come!
I chose this bobotie recipe because I’m actually really in the mood for a good bobotie right now {I might make a bobotie for dinner tonight}, so you will see the new recipe soon 😉
This chicken version has quite a few things that are higher in carbs – and on the dreaded red list – so do take that into consideration when deciding to make this.
Enjoy – and look out for my next bobotie recipe! X

Anel King
March 24, 2015 at 3:36 pmWhat is the egg fast?
Heidi
April 1, 2015 at 8:48 amHi Anel,
It’s a diet where you basically eat eggs, fat and a bit of cheese for 3 days to break a weightloss stall…
But to be honest, the best is just to eat healthy, eat real food and stick to a low carb lifestyle.
Like all fad diets, you’re bound to pick the weight back up again when doing an egg fast…

Heidi
April 14, 2015 at 1:37 pmHi Lisa,
You can find it at Checkers or Pick ‘n Pay – otherwise you can create your own mix using salt, dried herbs and some dried garlic powder, along with a pinch of chili flakes.
X
Ms.K
April 21, 2015 at 11:43 amlooks yummy! what is peppadew spice? thank you
Heidi
April 21, 2015 at 11:48 amHi Ms. K!
It’s a mixed dry spice and contains mostly powdered onion, garlic, cilantro (coriander), salt and red peppers.
Where are you based? (it’s available in South African grocery stores)
You could substitute it with any other, similar, dry spice or just make your own!

April 21, 2015 at 5:53 pmI completely agree, whenever I pre-prepped dinner evening life is always 10times easier than if I don’t. What I find even easier is if I’ve made a chilli and frozen it, then all I have to do heat it up and popped some jacket potatoes in the oven.

Heidi
April 25, 2015 at 7:49 amHi Loraine,
The consistency is quite dry, but shouldn’t be crumbly, it should be more like a thick paste.
You have to press it into a lined pan very densely.
You can try adding a bit more buttermilk – just enough to get a pasty consistency.
Let me know if that worked?

Is there a specific dish you want to substitute the cheese for something else?
This dish also has cream, so I’d suggest you rather skip it, as it won’t be the same once you start substituting.

Jacquelin Tollig
April 28, 2015 at 8:18 amIsn’t balsalmic vinegar a big NO NO on Banting?
Heidi
April 28, 2015 at 8:29 amHi Jacquelin,
well yes and no – it does contain natural sugars…
It falls in a bit of a grey area – along with soy sauce and pretty much every other store-bought spice out there…
One or two tablespoons for some flavour won’t do much harm – it’s your own choice on how strict you want to be.
For me, I eat real food – low carb yes and high fat, but real food. I won’t use chemically engineered foods just because it’s sugar-free and no carbs, etc.
It’s also a lifestyle for me and I still want to eat delicious foods within the limits – so a tbs of balsamic, etc here and there is not going to do any harm.

April 29, 2015 at 11:09 pmGreat recipe!! I tried to cook cauli cheese sticks before and the recipe had told me to wring out the cauli in a tea towel to get rid of the moisture. It ended up being way too time consuming and I could not get the smell of cauli out of my tea towel after that!! lol!. This way looks a lotttttt easier so will have to try it!
A 🙂
Heidi
April 30, 2015 at 5:15 pmDidn’t I mention to wring it out?! Will go and check..
But yes, you have to squeeze out the water, otherwise it will be mushy…
Sorry 🙁

May 15, 2015 at 4:16 pmHehe, I know right!
They should open up when you click on them…
Let me know if it doesn’t work!

May 19, 2015 at 8:38 amI really like this analogy “think of fiber like a brillo scrubbing pad cleaning out your insides as it travels through”. I’ve never done a real detox but I think it’s about time I did as a restart and reset. This post hugely motivating!
Heidi
May 19, 2015 at 9:04 amThank you! I’d highly recommend it, even just to feel better and refreshed.
Great info and advice from Peeled Welness!

May 20, 2015 at 3:15 amWell I have to say a brownie cheesecake base sounds like the best idea ever! This cheesecake looks scrummy 🙂 xx

May 26, 2015 at 9:47 pmWow, that looks so good! I’ve never had panna cotta, but I’d love to try it.
Heidi
May 28, 2015 at 8:05 amHi Leia,
Thanks! You’ve gotta try it – can’t believe you’ve never had it! My dad always made it and I used to think it must be such a complicated dessert to make – until I just tried it one day…
Super easy!
Xx
Roxanne
May 27, 2015 at 1:23 amI’m definitely impressed! This looks like it would be served in a super fancy restaurant!
Heidi

And yet, it’s so simple 😉

Meaghan | Cook. Craft. Love.
May 27, 2015 at 2:43 amThat looks so fancy! I’ve never had panna cotta but it looks kind of like jello maybe?
Heidi
May 28, 2015 at 8:02 amHi Meaghan,
Yes, it’s kind of like a cream-jello.. It’s basically just cooked cream {I.e. Heated} with gelatin {and a flavour of choice}.
But yes, it does look and taste a bit more fancy than it really is!
Try it!

Dianne de Reuck
June 4, 2015 at 5:55 amDefinitely going to try this today. Would they be good to freeze cooked ? Or maybe prepare and freeze uncooked ?
Heidi
June 4, 2015 at 8:20 amHi Dianne,
I think it’d be better if you freeze them uncooked – shape and wrap in clingfilm.
That way they should hold their shape better once you defrost and cook them.
Let me know how they turn out!

Ms.K
June 5, 2015 at 8:27 amNever thought that xylitol can be used in cooking, is this the xylitol – the menthol gum you used?
Heidi
June 5, 2015 at 8:54 amHello!
Xylitol is a natural sweetener – so I used it in powder form.. Like sugar…
But yes, it’s the same that they use in gum too, as it’s really good for teeth!
Ms.K
June 5, 2015 at 9:28 amohhh…i see… it’s the gum that came first to my mind… lol, silly me… now i learn something new today, thank you 🙂

Heidi
June 24, 2015 at 10:40 amHello Janene,
No, you can just cut it and pop it straight into the oven as directed – so easy!
Hope you enjoy! X

June 27, 2015 at 3:08 pmHi Heidi…I got your question in my email about the flaxseed with the pops but when I clicked on the link to reply it said the link was no longer available and the comment is not even in this chain of comments. Any insight about this? Anyway, the pops were great with the flaxseed! I spiced them up a bit too. YUM!
Heidi
June 28, 2015 at 5:41 pmHi Debbie, I’m glad the pops worked!
The technical issues I’m having might be because I’ve just chanced web hosts… I am working on this and hopefully it’ll be sorted shortly and all will return to normality!
In the meantime, please bear with me…

Heidi
July 25, 2015 at 12:53 pmThanks Dawn!
It needn’t be stressful, just gather a bunch of girlfriends and give them some delicious food – dinner party sorted!
I must say, I tend to get really stressed if the dinner party involves whole families, as it can then be a hit chaotic and no matter how much effort you put in, it never seems well-planned or beautifully presented. I love kids {my own and my friends’} but dinner parties without them are better 😉

October 22, 2015 at 1:59 pmHi there ,
What is Salmeura dressing that is used in the coleslaw salad?
Heidi
October 22, 2015 at 6:40 pmHi Lisel, it’s a multipurpose dressing / brine / marinade that I use for many things.
It’s fab! When you’re in the recioe, you can just click on the Salmuera and it’ll take you to the recipe for it.

Allison
October 25, 2015 at 4:54 pmI usually think of slaw as a summertime recipe, so I love how you added cranberries to bring it into fall/winter! I bet this would be awesome on a day-after-Thanksgiving turkey sandwich.

2016 is the year I have to get my weight under control – emotional eating is the reason!!!!
Heidi
January 6, 2016 at 8:55 amYou can eat so well and healthy without having to give up sweet things altogether… You will quickly get used to the less-sweet taste. and to be honest, if you eat enough healthy fats the cravings will also get less!
Good luck Erica!

January 6, 2016 at 8:52 amHi Annette,
you can definitely make it without the coconut, just leave it out.
Some fresh berries or a berry compote on top would be a nice addition then.

David
January 15, 2016 at 3:01 pmHi Heidi, thanks for the recipe. I wanted to check if the salt content is right as mine was super salty, too much for my palette?
Cheers,
David.
Heidi
January 15, 2016 at 6:52 pmHi David,
yes it’s right, but you have to dilute it. The recipe makes about 4 litres. The recipe os very concentrated.
Hope that solves the problem!
x
Emma Rudman
January 16, 2016 at 1:20 amHeidi is 500 ml. Sout reg ?
Heidi
January 19, 2016 at 9:30 amHi Emma,
ja dit is reg – die marinade-resep is genoeg vir 4 liter. Ek hou dit gewoonlik in die yskas, of vries dit ook soms – dis iets wat ek bitter baie gebruik, vir hoender, vleis, souse, ens. so ek het altyd van dit in my yskas.
Davi
January 18, 2016 at 7:18 amHi Heidi,
Thanks, I diluted mine down to 6 litres in the end. I’ll try basting it and using small quantities.
Cheers,
David.

It’s great that you’re on this lifestyle path – you’ll see! And yes, knowing that you can still have some approved treats every now and then makes it easy to adopt.

January 26, 2016 at 7:41 amHello Heidi,
Can you please tell me what Salmuera is and how I can make it or where I can source it? It’s been popping up in recipes a lot lately and I haven’t heard of it before now.
Thank you
Jane Broadway
Heidi
January 28, 2016 at 5:25 pmHi Jane,
It’s a multi-purpose marinade / dressing that I use almost daily for various dishes.
If you click on the word salmuera in the recipe, it’ll take you to the recipe. It’s basically salt, vinegar, onion, garlic and pickling spice…
Let me know if you’ve managed!
x
Sydney @ Tastefully Frugal
January 28, 2016 at 3:52 amOh my did you say TRIPLE CHOCOLATE?! This looks and sounds so good! I may have to make this as our Valentine’s Day dessert!

Kim
February 2, 2016 at 9:05 amThis looks delicious! Can you tell me what size tin you use? Also could you provide the metric measurements for the ganache, as you have done for the rest of the recipe? Thanks a mil 🙂
Heidi
February 3, 2016 at 11:08 amHi Kim,
thanks! Um the metric measurements I can’t tell you exactly – I use cups for that for some reason… But you want the cream to be just a little bit less in volume than the chocolate, does that make sense?
So it’s about 0.8:1 cream:chocolate…
My tin that I used is a deep loose-bottomed tart tin; 24 cm diameter, 5.5 cm deep.
x
Kim
February 12, 2016 at 3:28 pmThanks so much Heidi!
One more question please.
For the base, do I need to whisk up the egg whites separately? or do I just add them directly (unwhisked) to the other base ingredients?
Kim
Heidi
February 13, 2016 at 12:12 pmYou can just chuck it into the blender along with the other ingredients!
You will need to melt the chocolate separately and then add that to the rest of the mixture.
Marie
February 2, 2016 at 11:21 pmDo you know how long these keep for? Can I make the day before?
Heidi
February 3, 2016 at 11:02 amHi Marie,
They will keep for 2-3 days, so you can definitely make them the day before.

Tania
February 4, 2016 at 4:29 pmHi, do you perhaps have the recipe for the kid approved tomato sauce?
Heidi
February 5, 2016 at 10:17 amHi Tania,

Lily
February 11, 2016 at 10:23 amJust a query – how dry is the macaroon base when made?
I made this last night and the base was basically still powder?
Heidi
February 12, 2016 at 12:35 pmHi Lily,
just replied to you on FB…
I’m sure you must’ve left out an ingredient or 2 for the base – the egg and melted chocolate will hold it all together and you should have a thick paste that you can just press into the base if the pan.
Hope it works out next time!
Heidi x
Allison

Dee
February 29, 2016 at 3:14 amI thought 180 degrees was kind of low. For US cooks translate oven temperature to 350 degrees farenheit.
Heidi
March 2, 2016 at 8:43 amHi Dee,
yes the 180 degrees is in Celcius – so it would be around 350 Fahrenheit for US peeps…

Yasmim
March 2, 2016 at 5:02 pmMine came out super bitter. I had to use lime zest instead of lemon zest and I’m in Brazil so I used an avocado they have here. Not sure why it went so wrong.
Heidi
March 7, 2016 at 11:24 amHi Yasmin,
sorry to hear! It might be the avocado type, but it could also be the fact that avocado does get a slightly bitter taste when it’s heated, but not much.
You could try adding some more Parmesan and seasoning. Also, I’ve not tried it with lime – but I can’t think why that should make it bitter…

March 18, 2016 at 4:51 pmwhat size pan is a brownie pan? 8×8?
Heidi
March 30, 2016 at 9:59 amHi Jo,
yes it’s about 8×8. If you use 8×8 you’ll get out 2 pans, you can also use a larger size, but then you might only get 1 batch.
I know baking is quite scientific, but to be honest, with these brownies you can easily gauge things..
The batter should should be about an inch to 1.5 inches thick in the pan and then can bake for 20-25 minutes.
If it’s deeper than that, just add a couple more minutes.
Rather let it bake for too little and end up with more gooey brownies, than baking for too long and it’s dry…
I also find that when I use coconut flour, it bakes MUCH quicker – about 15minutes instead of 20…
Hope that helps! x

March 31, 2016 at 8:21 amCan you please give ideas of what you ate on this fat fast? Thank you!
Heidi
March 31, 2016 at 8:32 amHello Amanda!
I did the fast for 3 days, each day I had a regular coffee with dash of cream, as well as a bulletproof coffee for ‘breakfast’:
1 cup filter coffee + 1 tbsp. organic virgin coconut oil + 1 tsp salted butter and a dash of cream
{2 tbsp. cream in total for the morning coffees}
I would eat again at 11-ish, 14:00 or 15:00 and then ‘dinner’ by 18:00 – either of the following: {I mixed these up over the 3 days, so one day an egg might be in the morning, next day it might be lunch or dinner, etc. Each of these ‘meals’ would be about 200-250 calories and you would eat 4-5 ‘meals’ a day}
*1 small avocado with a tsp olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper
*30 g macadamia nuts
*1 boiled egg with 30 g mature cheddar OR mozzarella cheese + 1 tsp butter spread onto the egg halves
*broccoli soup made with cream, cream cheese and broccoli
*lettuce leaves with a slice of cheese
*scrambled egg with a tbsp. of chopped ham or chorizo, a tsp butter and small handful of grated cheese
I didn’t really eat any meat apart from the chorizo – protein came from the egg mostly.
You can and should have lots of water or black herbal teas in-between.
But honestly, you won’t get hungry.

April 7, 2016 at 7:23 amHi Heidi. My daughter is in Grade 11 and needs to do job shadowing. About 2 years ago she lost 25kg’s by doing the Dukan diet (high protein, low fat). She is now passionate about paleo diets and wants to find a career in food science with this as her focus. If you are located near Johannesburg is there any chance you would consider letting her job shadow with you. It would entail her coming to spend a morning following you around. Regards Ros

April 21, 2016 at 8:16 amSounds yummy. Am going to start it now. Will let you know how it turns out. Do not have red wine, will use a bit of balsamic vinegar
Heidi
April 26, 2016 at 7:37 pmHow did it turn out, Anza? Not sure if the balsamic will have the same effect, perhaps just leave out the wine completely…
Kim
May 4, 2016 at 9:54 amHi there, i never use a microwave as ive read that it destroys all the nutrients in food. Could you therefore provide the timings and temperature required for making the bread for the french toast in an oven?
Heidi
July 11, 2016 at 10:11 amHi Kim,
the ‘bread’ recipe is a specific microwave ‘mug’ recipe, I’ve never tried it in the oven.
You could give it a bash at 180C for about 10 minutes?

Elmari
July 14, 2016 at 2:12 pmHI, I think Cranberries is not low in carb? 1/4 cup is about 25gr of carbs
Heidi Visser
July 15, 2016 at 11:53 amHi Elmari,
if you choose to use dried cranberries, always opt for the unsweetened ones. Cranberries are a low carb alternative to raisins – but you can choose wether to use it or not.
For me, as it’s a lifestyle, I do eat it on occasion.
25g divided by 8 portions puts it at just over 3g of carbs per serving and if you do slightly bigger servings (6 servings), it comes in at just over 4g per serving – which is still low in carbs and can be enjoyed with a clear conscience.

Do you microwave all the ramekins together for 4 minutes or separately for 4 minutes each?
Heidi Visser
August 16, 2016 at 10:06 amHi Johlette,
All together for 4 minutes..

August 3, 2016 at 12:12 pmHi: I made these and they didn’t brown up. What is the temperature again to bake these? I used thtemoerature that was lusted. Thanks.
Heidi Visser
August 16, 2016 at 11:24 amHi,
the temp is 180C / 350F and they start to crisp up as they cool down.

August 18, 2016 at 10:09 amEk wil die Lamb shanks maak.
Hoeveel suurlemoen moet ek gebruik ?
Hou nie eintlik van suurlemoen smaaklik in my kos nie.
Dankie Heidie.
Maak baie van jou resepte.
Heidi Visser
August 19, 2016 at 10:04 amHi Yvonne,
Eks bly om te hoor!
Een suurlemoen sal genoeg wees.
Gebruik die sap van die hele suurlemoen en dan net een helfte saam in die pot – of jy kan oof die suurlemoen heeltemal uitlos en net die sap gebruik om mee te ‘season’…
Die suurlemoen breek net die vetterigheid van die lamsvleis.

Sue
August 23, 2016 at 11:53 amMay sound silly, but do you store them in the fridge?
Heidi Visser
August 24, 2016 at 11:45 amHey Sue,
you can, but they might get a bit soggy…
I just kept them in an airtight container outside the fridge.
They will only stay fresh a day or 2.

Ek wil nou volgende die oxtail maak.
Is dit reg dat dit 20 uur in die crackpot moet wees?
Heidi Visser
August 30, 2016 at 9:56 amHi Yvonne,
Ja, die oxtail het lekker baie tyd nodig om regtig sag te word. Jy kan die crockpot op ‘low’ sit.
Thia
September 6, 2016 at 12:12 amSounds lovely! Will definitely try it. Just wondering about the cauli mash you mention in the intro insead of the white bread – does that get used in the mince mix or do you just use it to serve instead of rice?
Heidi Visser
September 6, 2016 at 10:27 amHello Thia!
Thanks for pointing that out! I recently updated the recipe {I used to put a bit of cauli mash inside the mixture, instead of bread} and missed that part… Oops! 🙂
You can try it with a spoonful of cauli mash in the mix, but I don’t find it necessary…

Adelloe Raqubach
September 27, 2016 at 6:36 amMorning Heidi\,
What would you eat on a fat fast day? I love your recipes. Did the hotdogs last night – delicious!
Thank you, Adelle
Heidi Visser
October 11, 2016 at 6:12 amThanks Adelle, glad you’re enjoying the recipes!
I normally do the fat fast for 3 days, every other month.
I’ll break up the day into 4 or 5 small ‘meals’, each consisting of 200-250 calories, 80% of that from fat.
A typical fat fast day would look something like this:
‘breakfast’ – bulletproof coffee
mid-morning – 1 boiled egg with a teaspoon of butter and a serving {30 g} of cheese
mid-afternoon – 1/2 an avocado with cream cheese and seasoning
snack – handful {30 g} macadamia nuts
early dinner – broccoli soup with cheese and cream cheese {small portion} OR a small salad of lettuce and avo and olive oil
You can really have anything provided you stay within the calories {+-1000 for the day} and that those calories come from fat mostly, so not too much protein and obviously the carbs should stay very low.
I just find it easier to stick to these ‘meals’ above – keep it simple…

you can use a roster / grill on any ‘braai’.

December 7, 2016 at 9:15 amCan I use an ice cream maker and how long must I churn it for?
Heidi Visser
December 15, 2016 at 11:13 amHi Yvonne,
I don’t use an ice cream maker, but you can definitely use one – just follow your specific maker’s instructions.
Because of the high fat content and the alcohol, it won’t freeze solid and crystalize, so so you really can just make the mixture, chuck it into a container and freeze overnight.
Enjoy!
Norma
December 27, 2016 at 5:20 pmLooks yummy; what can you serve it with?
Heidi Visser
December 30, 2016 at 12:58 pmHi Norma,
you really don’t need anything with it, but a simple herb salad works well, or even cauli rice or cauli mash.

February 5, 2017 at 7:33 pmCan you make them without the cheese? Could you substitute almond flour or something?

Carol Lynn Mackie
March 12, 2017 at 8:25 pmThey are good but I think I will cut back on the salt next time I make them.
Stephanie
April 19, 2017 at 11:06 pmI made these and did them completely wrong because I didn’t realize the heat wasn’t Fahrenheit…. so, I’ll try them again at the correct temp. But I wondered how many carbs are in each of these??
jadedermody
May 7, 2017 at 2:41 pmMade these today and had with sun dried tomatoes 🍅 houmous will defo make again
Laura
May 9, 2017 at 5:35 pmI tried making these but ended up tossing them because they didn’t turn out. I don’t see info on how to flatten them? I tried using a fork, a spoon and a knife but the avocado just stuck to the utensils then and came off the parchment paper and I couldn’t get them to be thin! Help please!
Heidi Visser
May 12, 2017 at 8:28 amHi Laura,
you could try rubbing a bit of neutral coconut oil onto the utensil you’re using to flatten them…
I don’t recall having the same problem. Also try add a little more lemon juice – the mixture might be a bit thick.
Alternatively, you could place another piece of parchment paper on top and roll it as thin as you like with a rolling pin.
Then just remove the top parchment paper and bake.
Hope that helps! x
Pat
May 12, 2017 at 5:22 pmHow many carbs? What is nutritional values?

I used 2x regular cans, so you can use 1 large or 2 small…
It’s a firm favourite in our house! And on Pinterest too 😉

Thank you so much for the recipe 🙂
Tina Brown
July 12, 2017 at 6:37 pmBefore I actually make them, I thought I’d ask if they TASTE like avocado, haha, after baking 🙂 I’m trying desperately to find a way to eat at least 1/2 an avocado/day (for the nutritional value/potassium) without tasting it…I WISH I liked em!
Maureen
July 26, 2017 at 11:12 amThe generous amount of cheese, paprika, cumin, and lemon zest might help mask the original avocado flavor for you!
Maureen
July 26, 2017 at 11:09 amMade these as work snacks for husband last night. He absolutely loved them despite me making the mistake of storing them in the fridge and them becoming a little soggy. I look forward to remaking them and I’ll use a little less salt the second time around
