These were easy to make (really easy) and tasted good! I wouldn’t cut them into 20 pieces, like the recipe says, unless you want crackers the size of Cheez-Its. The crispy edges had a great flavor, so I think if we partially cooked these (until they were set enough to cut), then spread them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet to finish cooking, they would be even better!
Cheese Crackers
4 Tablespoons Parmesan or Romano cheese, finely grated 2 eggs (or 2 large egg whites = 1/4 cup egg substitute) 2 Tablespoons butter 1/4 cup sesame seeds (crushed in a blender) 1 Tablespoon heavy cream (or half and half/whole milk) Pinch of salt

One quick note about getting copies of Dr. Atkins’ original book: I noticed, when updating my Amazon store (look over there) there are a lot more copies of the book available. I have listed the 1972, 1980, 1984, and 1990 publishing dates. I think up until the 1990 version, they are roughly the same. Judith, this is the closest thing I could find to a barbecue sauce recipe from my books.
Steak Sauce 11 Tablespoons 1/2 cup Hunt’s Tomato Puree (sauce) 1/4 cup water 5 teaspoons distilled vinegar 1/4 teaspoon orange extract 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 small clove garlic, crushed 1 teaspoon grated onion 1/2 teaspoon Maggi Seasoning 20 drops of Tabasco sauce Blend and refrigerate until serving time.
WAIT! I found it (I think). It was included in a Barbecued Spareribs recipe!

Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 25 minutes.

Wet hands with cold water, and shape mixture into medium-sized balls, about the diameter of a quarter. Reduce heat, cover, simmer gently for 20 to 25 minutes, and serve.

Diet Revolution Rolls (aka Oopsie rolls or Cloud Bread) There are tons of variations of this recipe out there (and I have tried quite a few, including substituting avocado for the cottage cheese) but this one is the best! These are not excessively moist, do not collapse to nothing (they do collapse when they cool but not nearly as bad as other recipes), and they have a great texture. Makes 6 Rolls (2 rolls per serving)
3 eggs separated
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 Tablespoons cottage cheese (NOT low-fat)
1 package Sugar Twin (or 1/4 teaspoon sweetener of choice)
Pam spray (optional)
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Spray Pam on Teflon cookie sheet (or use ungreased parchment paper). Separate eggs very carefully (make sure that none of the yolk gets into the whites). Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until whites are stiff but not dry. Blend yolks, cottage cheese and Sugar Twin together until thoroughly incorporated. Fold yolk mixture into beaten egg whites (be extremely careful not to break down the egg whites). Mix for no more than a minute. Place the mixture carefully on the teflon cookie sheet (parchment paper), gently putting one Tablespoon full on top of another until each “roll” is about 2 inches high (or use 1/3 cup ice cream scoop). Repeat this until you have 6 piles. Rolls should resemble delicatessen rolls. Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for about 1 hour. Let them cool before removing from the baking sheet (the will deflate a bit). Do not slice to use for a sandwich (they are not thick enough).

2 Tablespoons minced onion

In a small frying pan on medium heat, sautee 2 Tablespoons Onion in 1 Tablespoon melted butter until they are almost brown. Let cool, then mix into yolk mixture.

Bread Crumbs
Double Dipped (egg, then breadcrumbs twice) Fried Chicken Thigh
Bread Crumbs
One entire batch of Diet Revolution Rolls (without sweetener or salt, if you plan on using either in the bread crumbs)
Put the six cooked (and cooled) rolls into a blender or food processor. Process until the rolls become fine crumbs. For drier crumbs, either let the rolls dry overnight before processing. Season according to your tastes/recipe and use in any recipe to replace traditional bread crumbs. When used as breading, this tastes like flour breading (not actual bread crumbs). Total Grams: 3.1
Diet Revolution Bread
2 Tablespoons Soya Powder (if you have to buy this, here’s a non-affiliate link to what I bought: http://a.co/d/ggqvd01)
1 Tablespoon water
While making the Diet Revolution Rolls above, mix these ingredients in with the yolk/cottage cheese mixture. Let this sit for 15-20 minutes. This allows the soya powder to re-hydrate (and not become hard rocks in the bread). Proceed with the rest of the recipe above. Originally from the Dr. Atkins’ Diet Revolution (1972), pages 225-227.
Mustard Sauce
Makes 1 cup (16 Tablespoons)
3 Tablespoons onion, chopped
1 Tablespoon butter
8 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 Tablespoon chopped chives
Saute onions in butter until soft.
Stir in mustard and cream until well heated (do not boil).
Blend in Worcestershire Sauce.
Sprinkle with chives.
Serve hot.
