I wanted to do a new low carb video to welcome in the new year. These were a big hit at all my holiday family functions even with my non-low carbing family members. Most never new they were eating low carb fudge.

The original recipe can be found here: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/peanut_butter_fudge.html
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup Natural Peanut Butter
2 ounces softened cream cheese
1 cup Splenda
2/3 cup Vanilla Whey protein powder

* Microwave the butter and peanut butter on HIGH for 1 minutes; mix thoroughly.
* Mix in the cream chees
* Add the Splenda and the whey protein powder until well combined.

In this cooking video, I detail how to make one of my staples of the diet — low carb fried chicken. You don’t have to give up the joy of fried chicken, and contrary to low fat diets, you can eat the skin too! I have fried chicken at least once a week almost. Chicken has a great amount of protein as well as delicious fat in the skin. I display 2 of the 3 methods that are among the acceptable coatings for chicken or chicken-fried foods (like Country Fried Steaks):

* Parmesan Cheese - Induction friendly
* Carbquik breading
* Crushed Pork Rinds. ** not shown Just run the pork rinds through a food processor to crush the rinds into smaller pieces. You would be surprised by how tasty this is, and how little pork rinds flavor there is remaining. I had intended to show this method as well, but Wal-mart wasn’t selling them anymore.

Here is the recipe for the breading:
* 1 cup of Carbquik flour
* 2 TBS Paprika
* 1 TBS Black Pepper
* Dashes of Cayenne Pepper, Chili Pepper, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Poultry Seasoning

Thanks for watching my videos and subscribing for those that have. You guys are the best to keep me motivated.
