Crunchy Peanut Butter Chocolate 'Granola'

Crunchy Peanut Butter Chocolate 'Granola' 

Fresh Salsa

1 pint of fresh salsa, YUM!

This is a recipe from www.pickyourown.org.  I have streamlined the recipe here because the formatting for this one at their website was a mess (the recipes for the larger canning batch are great though..they have a pdf if you want to save the file. )  This is a great recipe and very flexible.  Good to know so you can have sugar-free salsa or fresh salsa on demand.  If you want to lower the carb count just omit the tomato paste which is what I do because I prefer it that way.  If you don't COOK it , its like pico de gallo.  I often have these ingredients in my fridge or freezer so it is easy to make a batch if I'm out.  I enjoy eating a bowl of this with the cheese 'crackers' recipe I have posted.

Muffin in a Mug

A high fiber, low carb muffin

Muffin in a Mug (also called a MIM or Muffin in a Minute but I cook this one longer, lol) is a great treat when you are in a hurry, only have a microwave to cook, or need to add more fiber to your diet.   This is a very flexible recipe, having hundreds of variations.  After reading many of them on the Atkins forum, I decided to try some additions.   This is what I ended up with...
