If you are on a low-carbohydrate diet you find out quickly just how many recipes have some sort of bread in them. To resolve this problem Nancy Fayrweather Bailey has come up with a recipe for a low-carbohydrate substitute for flour that can be used in most recipes for a surprisingly good result. The flour substitute is called MixQuick and contains soy flour and oat flour to increase the protein count while greatly reducing the carbohydrate count. Recipes in the book include pancakes, soufflés, muffins, quiche, lasagna, pizza, and burritos.
The MixQuick is the base for all the recipes and while I only tried making one unit of the MixQuick and two recipes the results were surprisingly good. These are low-carbohydrate recipes that I could live with. Have Your Cake and Eat It Too is recommended to most readers and highly recommended to anyone on a low-carbohydrate diet.
