Live in Oregon...some people know the store as cash&carry...others as united grocers. I know they're elsewhere because I remember talking to people in the mid west and california about them. It's a restaurant supply house but is open to the public with no membership fees. (gotta love it)

We have a TPC, I think that is also a cash and carry. I'll look into it. Thanks!

I haven't used the Carbquik, but the bowl muffins work great with the protein powder I use (Designers Whey-natural) - 90 cal. 2 g. carb-I made a mexican flavor one and it was sort of like a tamale -

Sounds good! Share the recipe!

• United Grocers
• Cash & Carry

also known (in some states) as

• Smart & Final

I have one of their old info sheets here, under the name United Grocers/Cash & Carry, they're in Oregon, California, Idaho and Washington, far as I can tell.

Great Idea! I found a bunch of little dropper bottles (that actually work) in either a pharmacy or a dollar store (years ago can't remember exactly) for my liquid stevia concoctions, Ms. Nancy

Now, if I remember correctly, somebody referenced the 3-Minute Chocolate Cake at the www.lowcarbfriends.com recipe collection, SOMEWHERE in this fabulous thread.

So, I started messing around with that one, just because. Made some tweaks and mods, increased the volume, and initiated my brand new silicon bundt cake pan in the microwave! Besides, I really had to produce my brother's chocolate birthday cake in a HURRY and got a late start, so there wasn't time for the oven Ended up using a heatproof measuring 2-cupper, a bowl (ok, 2 bowls) and the bundt pan...not bad!

So here's the end result, which I served up with bittersweet chocolate shavings on top, fresh strawberries in the 'hole', and whipped cream on the side.

Wow! This looks incredible! If you haven't already, you might want to post it as its own recipe instead of in the bowl muffin area, so other people can get a look at this!

In the egg part of the recipe, it says 5 whole eggs. Born 3 What's Born 3?

Oh those are "omega-3 eggs", veggie fed including flaxseed meal and no antibiotics and all that stuff. Local brand, here in Western Canada.

Wow...them's healthy chickens!

Update: Bowl Muffins, recipe and condensed list of variations

Excellent job, PML - thanks!

Thanks so much for taking the time to do that. It really is helpful to have it condensed like that!

Gotta say...I figured..."oh, how could could they be?" Yeah...well I apologize ....with all my heart and soul. These are awesome! Made one today with carbsense baking mix, one egg, splash of SF syrup and 1tblsp cocoa. It tasted like a chocolate muffing and had 210 calories, 7 total carbs, 5 gr fiber. I'll be having breakfast more often!!!! Thanks again!!!

You are welcome!!!
