Topic: RE: Happy Sunday!

Thanks! Noted and saved! I am not a low carb follower and imagine the cals are no different to ordinary flour but I love the idea of doing this!  Especially tehe pizza ideas. And, of course, extra protein and nut oils!

 Quick note. The almond flour is used to substitute only a portion of the other types of flours used. You may already have this site, but I think Linda has some grerat recipes that use almond flour. You'll have to convert the USA and UK measurements.

If I remember the recipes correctly, I believe I substituted the measure of almond flour for equal measure of other types of flour. I found this link that may help. http://www.sheknows.com/articles/3520/cooking-with-almond-fl our

I often make cakes with ground almonds but had never used for anything else. Do you just subsitute it oz for oz for ordinary flour?

Almond flour is, I suppose, ground almonds. We can buy the flour in certain stores here. It does have fat in it, though, so it should be used with caution. It has a very mild sweet taste, and I use it if I'm making WLS friendly shortbread or cookies. I haven't made it since January, but Bariatriceating.com has a great recipe for it.

SO sorry! I know what it is like pre-surgery and how much we must "psych" ourselves out! It takes lots of energy to get ready and focus on that day!!!

I am glad you DO still have a date-but my goodness. I would have felt shattered too!!

You know-I am getting very tired of all the poor behaviour of some "professionals"!!

Hugs and you hang in there. USE this time to your advantage.

I've never heard of almond flour! Is it almondy tasting? Just a sort of ground almonds?

 I agree. Too high in calories & carbs for me too, although there is a low fat version of Bisquick. Again, I generally do this kind of thing from scratch. I'm not much for ready made mixes. I think that your scone recipe would be perfect for this recipe. For myself, if I make something that requires some sort of bread foundation, I try to modify the recipes by cutting whole wheat flour with things like soy or almond flour. My husband is lucky. The pizza for tonight will be his. My crust will actually be a low carb flat bread that I buy online.

That does suck but yes at least you dont have to pay. I owe my bank for another 1 1/2 years for this. It will be worth it in the end xxx

I did think of making the recipe for z pie (too high cal for me generally speaking!) but not using a packet mix -  no idea whether we even have an equivalent to Bisquick over here. We don't go in for as many cake etc mixes here.  There are quite a few out there in the supermarkets but nothing like as many as I saw in the US.

I planned to use my own scone (biscuit) recipe rather than a powder mix.
