Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004refried beans
I see all these recipes in low carb blogs and websites that incorporate beans, but I don't see anything that includes or allows REFRIED BEANS (vegetarian). What is the difference between a serving of "legumes" of some type and a refried bean burrito with a low carb shell?

I love refried beans and have cooked/eaten them for years. But no longer. Too many carbs and calories. A real loss to my new diet.

Yes, I have eaten beans a few times. I just tell myself I am taking a more South Beachy approach then. <g> In fact, I may have chili today. And I may make cornbread. I am debating about whether I will sub almond meal for ALL of the cornmeal or maybe half of it, although in my mind, almond meal would work really well tastewise. Unfortunately, ere I started this WOE, I had hit upon the perfect (to me) cornbread formula that used masa harina for the flour part of the recipe, and I obviously can't do that. Have to use some LC flour substitute instead. But if I use 1/2 c cornmeal, that's 48 g of carbs, divided among all the pieces. I can afford that--esp. if I only eat one piece.

There is an excellent recipe for "Corn" Bread at http://www.lowcarbluxury.com/recipes/recipe-bread03.html I made this at Thanksgiving and it was delicious. I did not have hazelnut flour, so I used 1 3/4 cups of almond flour and 1/4 cup of Bob's Red Mill Medium Grain Corn Meal. I also did not have any "butter flavor extract" but putting butter on the hot corn bread seemed to work fine. ;-) > >And I may make cornbread.

That saves me a search. And I had forgotten about using some hazelnut flour--I have some of the toasted stuff.

Em The taste would be considerably different. If you try doing it that way and like the dish, I see nothing wrong with it. It's up to you.

The worse gas they give you, the less carb you are digesting. I am a janitor and work evenings, by myself ;) > Thanks. --Bryan 198/148/151/155 |
