Here are 2 great recipes for you. A great Parfait of Berries and Cream and awesome chicken wings that are great for Sunday football games.
Elyse’s Favorite Parfait – Berries and Cream – Paleo Recipe
- Heavy cream– whipping cream–1/2 cup
- Cocoa powder–1 tablespoon
- Vanilla extract– 1 teaspoon
- Almonds – 6 crushed almonds
- Walnuts– 6 crushed walnuts
- Strawberries– 3 strawberries diced
- Raspberries – 1/3 cup
- BlackBerries– 1/3 third cup
- Blueberries– 10 blueberries
- Chia seeds– 1/2 tablespoons
- Flax seeds – 1/2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed
- Cinnamon – 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
First put your heavy whipping cream in a large bowl and mix in the vanilla extract and cocoa powder.
Then using a mixer, mix the cream – (whip it) – for about 3 minutes. If you like, you can place this in the freezer for about 40 minutes for a nice cold snack. Then mix the nuts and berries into the cream. After that, mix in the ground flaxseed, Chia seeds and then sprinkle the cinnamon over top if you like.
This recipe makes two servings. I like this recipe because the nuts make it crunchy, the fruit makes it sweet (but not too sweet) and the full fat heavy cream makes it even more enjoyable. This is great for breakfast and it’s also really good for a snack during the day. The nuts and cream make it hearty enough for the cold winter months and it’s also cool and refreshing for those hot summer days. It’s a perfect recipe.
Football Sunday Wings
- Chicken wings – 2 pounds
- Himalayan salt – 1 tablespoon
- Ground black pepper – 1 teaspoon
- Baking powder – 1 tablespoon
- Smoked paprika – 1 teaspoon
- Garlic salt – 1 teaspoon
- Coconut oil – 2 tablespoons
- Optional- hot sauce- 2 tablespoons
Mix together the pepper, salt, baking powder, paprika and garlic salt. Take a large plastic Ziploc bag and add the chicken wings along with your mixture of spices. Close it and then shake the bag well to coat all of the wings with the seasoning. Preheat a large pan over medium heat and melt the coconut oil. Next check your chicken wings and place them in the skillet and then place a cover over top of the skillet and cook this for about 10–12 minutes. Then flip the wings over and let them cook for another 10–12 minutes until they are nice and brown. When they are finished cooking remove them from the heat and cool down for a little bit. You could serve them with hot sauce if you like.

One of the most popular new year resolutions is to lose weight. But if you don’t have the proper plan, the correct information and realistic guidance most people do not achieve their goals. And this is why I believe that our weight loss programs are so successful. Because we try our best to work with our weight loss patients in developing a realistic weight loss plan that they are able to do in their hectic and crazy busy life.
We also try to have people eat foods that they really enjoy. So our medical weight loss program goes way beyond weight loss pills, appetite suppressant medications, diet pills and vitamin B-12 injections therapy. In addition we will instruct you in a plan that will include the proper types of food that you should be eating for your metabolism, body type, how many calories you should be eating in a day and recommending the proper type of physical activities/exercise that will help you lose weight, burn body fat and not be bulky and blocky.
It’s unbelievable how many people come into our office and are exercising almost every day and they are just getting heavier, bigger and developing a body that looks like a block or a square. And most of the time this is because they are doing the wrong types of exercises.
If your goal is to lose pounds and inches there were certain type of exercises that work best for this. And they are totally different from exercises that are designed to increase muscle mass. So if you are exercising to lose weight and body fat and are just getting heavier and more bulky you’re probably doing the wrong type of exercises. So call us for your free consultation and let us help you design a plan that will assist you in achieving your goals.

Biscotti Low Carb & Gluten Free
- Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- Swerve – ⅓ cup
- stevia extract – ¼ tsp
- butter – ¼ cup
- vanilla extract, sugar free – ½ tsp
- almond flour – 1 and ¾ cups
- xanthan gum – ¼ tsp
- unsweetened cocoa – ½ cup
- baking soda – ½ tsp
- salt – ¼ tsp
- cinnamon – 1 tsp
- Optional items include chopped nuts and sugar free chocolate chips
Instructions:
First we should preheat our oven to 325 F. Then in a bowl, stir or blend together the eggs, butter, vanilla extract, swerve and stevia. In another bowl stir together the remaining ingredients until they are mixed nicely. Then combine the ingredients of both bowls and you can add the sugar free chocolate chips and the nuts if you would like to.
Mold this into a nice big dough ball. Next grease a cookie sheet and spread the dough out and form your typical biscotti. Next we bake this for about 25 minutes, just until it’s slightly browned. Take it out of the oven and decrease the temperature to 275 F. Allow the biscotti to cool down for about 14 minutes and cut it into strips that are approximately one half inch wide. Then put the individual biscotti on their side onto the cookie sheet and bake them for another 25 – 30 minutes, or for as long as to takes for them to cook to a nice crispness.
This recipes makes about 15 biscotti and each has approx 2 grams of carbohydrates.
Oreo Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Low Carb
- Ingredients:
- Low carbohydrate chocolate cookies – one pound (the above cookie recipe is perfect for this)
- butter – ½ cup
- cream cheese – 8 ounces
- Swerve – ⅔ cup
- stevia extract – ½ tsp
- heavy cream – 1 cup
- eggs – 6 large
- coconut flour – 2 tbsps
- vanilla extract – sugar free – 2 tbsps
This is a really fantastic recipe. To start just take a 9 inch spring form pan and grease it. Then preheat your oven to 350°F. Next break up your cookies into very tiny crumbs. You can use your hands or just use your food processor to do this. Divide your cookie crumbs into two separate bowls and stir one half into your melted butter. You are going to take this butter and cookie crumb mixture and line the bottom of your springform pan with it.
After doing this place the pan in your refrigerator. Next you want to blend together your swerve, whipping cream and cream cheese. Make sure that you use a large bowl for this. When it’s nice and smooth you can add the vanilla, coconut flour and eggs and stir everything until it’s creamy smooth. Then take your springform pan out of the refrigerator and pour half of your cream cheese mixture over top of the crust. Then take the other half of your cookie crumbs and pour that over top and then just pour the rest of the creamy mixture over top of that. Next place this in the oven and let it bake for about an hour or so. You want to bake it for as long as it takes for the center to become very firm.
Finally take the cheesecake out of the oven and let it cool down. Personally I like to let it cool down for at least one hour and then you can remove it from the pan. For the best tasting cheesecake I like to leave it in the refrigerator until the next day. This is one of those recipes where there cake will actually taste better the next day. This recipe makes 12 servings each of them having about 3 – 4 grams of carbohydrates.

Try to shape them into 1 1/2 inch meatballs and place them on a baking sheet and let them bake for about 45 minutes or 1 hour. Just make sure that they are totally cooked all the way through.
Now it’s time to make the sauce while meatballs are baking. Take a nice sized sauce pan and place the butter in there and heat until’s the butter starts to sizzle and you start to see brown flecks.

Decrease the heat to a low setting and mix in the cream cheese, Nutmeg, Parmesan cheese and bone broth and let this simmer for approximately 16 to 17 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the oven when they are cooked. Now all you have to do is arrange to them on a serving dish and enjoy them with the sauce.

Secrets for a Sleek Physique by Medical Weight Loss Philadelphia
Hi everyone Dr. Kenny here. If you are a member of our Philadelphia and Bucks County weight loss programs you already know that we use the highest quality FDA approved appetite suppressant medications, weight loss pills and diet pills.
And you also know that we spend an enormous amount of time with our patients reviewing the proper nutrition and meal plans that will help you safely lose weight.
If you are not a member of our weight loss center I invite you to call and schedule your free consultation, call us at 215-821-7336. Ask for Lisa and she will be glad to schedule your free weight loss consultation.
As part of our medical weight loss program we also will review your target weight loss goal and let you know if your target body weight is healthy for you. I guess because of social media and marketing campaigns that appear on the television, in magazines and on the Internet people are coming to us wanting to lose an amount of weight that would not be medically healthy for them. Not every woman is meant to be a size 0 or size 2 or even a size 4.
And please remember that in our program we use real prescription medications that must be prescribed by a licensed medical physician, nurse practitioner or certified physician assistant. You cannot purchase these type of medications at your local Nutrition Store. And because these are prescription medications certain criteria must be met, like BMI, waist measurement, etc. for you to be able to take these weight loss medications.

Here are 2 more great recipes under 200 calories to help you lose weight.
Low-Carb Pancakes and Syrup*
This is another one of my favorite recipes. It takes about 10 minutes to prepare everything and then of course you have to add the cooking time for cooking each of the pancakes. This recipe makes 12 pancakes and one serving size is considered three pancakes. Try to make the pancakes the size of about 5 inches.
- Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs – separate the yellow from the white
- protein powder – 2 tablespoons of either egg white protein or any other type of protein powder that you like. Just make sure that it does not contain a lot of sugar and carbohydrates. That’s why I prefer egg white protein because it’s very low in carbs and in sugar.
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract – you could really use any flavor that you prefer
- Stevia or swerve – 1 teaspoon
- Coconut oil or organic respite voter – we use this to coat our pan
- 1/2 cup of our delicious brown butter syrup – for pouring over top of our pancakes
We begin by whipping the egg whites in a bowl for several minutes until they become very stiff. After that blend in the yolks, vanilla extract, Stevia and your protein powder.
Heat the coconut oil or the unsalted butter over top a medium – high heat then when it’s hot take 1/4 cup of the batter and pour it into your pan. (When my wife does this the pancakes always seem to be in perfect shape but for some reason when I do it I need to use a utensil to make it into an almost perfect circle.)
Then just fry the pancake until it’s a golden brown on both sides. This usually takes about 2 minutes per side. After that remove the pancake from the heat and set it aside on a plate and cover it to keep it nice and warm. Then just repeat this process until there is no more batter left. I usually need to add a bit more butter or coconut oil between cooking each pancake.
When you have cooked all of the batter just place the pancakes on individual serving plates and pour the syrup over top. Remember a serving size is three pancakes and each serving has approximately 175 cal, 13 g of fat, 8 g of protein, 0.6 g of carbohydrates in 0 g of fiber.
Brown Butter Syrup*
This is the recipe for the syrup to pour over top of your pancakes or anything else that you would like to use syrup with. It only takes about one minute to mix everything together and then it takes about another five minutes for it to cook. This recipe makes one and a half cups of syrup and usually 2 tablespoons are considered a serving size. Each serving has approximately 75 cal, 8.4 g of fat, 0.2 g of protein 0.2 g of carbohydrates in 0 g of fiber.
- Ingredients:
- unsalted butter – 1 stick
- 1/2 cup of swerve – you can use any others sugar substitute for this recipe, but I prefer to use swerve. It tastes just like real sugar and it doesn’t have that aftertaste that most other products have. Also, if you consume a large quantity of some of the other sugar substitutes like xylitol you may experience some stomach upset (and possibly diarrhea).
- Cream cheese – 1 ounce
- unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk – 1/2 cup
- 1 teaspoon of maple extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt
First we take a large saucepan and heat the butter over high heat, stirring it every few seconds. The butter will start to foam up towards the top of the pan and it will then fall back down. You will start to see quite a few brown flecks and that is when you should remove it from the heat.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the swerve until it’s nice and smooth. At this point you can mix in the cream cheese and stir until it’s smooth and then stir in the almond milk, maple extract and the salt.
Now set the pan aside and let it cool down a bit and then pour the mixture into a glass jar. It can stay fresh in the refrigerator for 2 weeks. Now, because of the ingredients, it will become thick while it is in the refrigerator. So when you are ready to use it you can just reheat it in a microwave or by placing it in a pan and heating it over a flame on your stove-top.
