Oh how I love you Wisconsin....sometimes. Being shut up in the house during this blast of unrealistic cold has left me with a most wonderful urge to just cook like crazy.
I was so excited because I found this amazing recipe for Mocha Muffins that are completely THM, but then it dawned on me that I have 3 racks of incredible pork ribs slow cooking in my oven....sooooooo, there will be no baking.
By the way, these ribs are also THM if you don't use honey in the sauce and are absolutely out-of-this-world incredible.
Rubbed Barbecue Pork Ribs Paleo Style
The dry rub used in the above recipe is just wonderful. I use it to season chicken legs, thighs, whole chickens, turkey, any pork cuts. Basically, if it's meat and you want to season it, this is a great rub to use.
Oh, another thing to celebrate! Our local Wal-Mart has begun selling Joseph's Pita Breads! So exciting!!! These pita's are perfect for sandwiches, buns - hotdog or burger - and toast. We really missed eating eggs, bacon and toast for breakfast, but no longer! They toast nicely, although they aren't so nice if toasted too much, and you can eat them in an S meal, so enjoy the blessed butter!
So, back to my dilemma of not being able to bake because the oven is on. I found a recipe for Pumpkin Pie Mousse and it looks really good. I think that's what I'll start with.
Okay, I must admit, I have this fascination with recipes using gelatin. I remember learning all about gelatin in biology at one point and I have been fascinated by it ever since. The fist thing this recipe tells me to do is let gelatin sit over coconut milk for a few seconds! Awesome! Love watching gelatin change as it sits.
Then you get to whiz up a few more wonderful ingredients like cream cheese, pumpkin, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice.
Glorious deliciousness. I did a little less than 1/2 teaspoon of stevia and it was just the right amount.
Now that mousse will be for my Dad and I, but my Mom is trying to avoid Stevia and erythratol so now I'm going to attempt to do a simpler copycat using 1 teaspoon of molasses for sweetener.
1 oz. cream cheese
1/3 cup pumpkin
splash of vanilla
few shakes pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon molasses - can I just say that I adore molasses!
I mixed that all together....not to shabby but not thrilling by any means
2ish Tablespoons Coconut milk
1/4 teaspoon glucomannan
Beat it to smoothness....not too bad. If you like sweet go with the other mousse recipe, but if you can't have sweeteners then this is yum.
