I just threw out the batch I made of the Rev Rolls. They were FLAT as pancakes! What do you think went wrong? I found a picture of them and they are supposed to be like hamburger rolls! Maybe I didn't whip the egg whites stiff enough...

There are a few threads goign here about rev rolls. I make a batch for the week every Sunday and use them as burger buns, with chicken/tuna salad, with melted butter/cinnamon/Splenda....lots of ways to use them. I keep them in the fridge in a ziplock bag with holes in it. Couldn't live without them! Oh, and I use 3T sour cream instead of the ricotta or cream cheese.

Well, for one thing, the original ones taste like ground glass to me. I haven't made them in over 35 years, and don't know what the newer recipes taste like. Maybe they are better. I just can't forget making them in the early 1970's and ALWAYS throwing them out.

Now if I really want something bread-like for sandwiches or buns, I buy Nature's Own Double Fiber bread. Or I rely on a fellow forum member (Treefrog) in my neighborhood who makes a really wonderful oatmeal/flax bread which stays fresh in a bread wrapper in the fridge for at least a month.

It's amazing how long memory is....the idea of the original rev rolls still makes me cringe. But as always, your mileage may vary.

Laugh ahead, it's ok
I just never heard before of cream of tartar! I checked the spice section but nothing there, I don't think it's very used here as ingredient...

I just made these today. They are a little soggy and now that they are out of the oven-FLAT. Maybe I didn't beat the whites long enough. I was afraid I'd beat them TOO long and they'd go back to a soupy nastiness mess. I'll try again though. They aren't bad, I just expected more. Good with some cream cheese and splenda on top

Ingredients:
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 3 Tablespoons cottage cheese (or 3 1/2 tbsp ricotta)
  • 2 packets Splenda
Preheat oven to 300°F.

Separate eggs very carefully (make sure NONE of the yolk gets into the white.) Spray PAM on a Teflon cookie sheet. Use an electric beater to beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff (but not dry). Mix egg yolks, cottage cheese and Splenda (or Sugar Twin) in separate bowl. Fold yolk-mixture carefully into egg whites being sure not to break down fragile whites - mix no longer than 1 minute. Place the mixture carefully on the cookie sheet, gently putting one tablespoon on top of another until it is two (2) inches in height. Repeat until you have 6 little "pillows". Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 35-55 minutes (depending on your firmness preference.)

Makes 6 rolls. 1 carb per serving.

I make these, triple the recipe, but I use 4 eggs instead of 3 (for triple recipe that's a dozen eggs), and mayo instead of the ricotta, and I make 2 versions, one plain with splenda which I use for French Toast and sweeter things--like sprayed with David Burke sprays, and a savory one which I add garlic powder, onion powder, a little flaxmeal and sprinkle with cheese (sometimes add parmesan, can type) I don't make it sweet with splenda, but a little splenda sometimes.

The trick is to have room temperature eggs.

And to make sure there is no yolk in the egg whites.

And to wipe the bowl and beater with vinegar on a paper towel.

And to beat the eggs long enough.\

And to CAREFULLY fold in the egg yolk mixture into the whites. I fold in a bit of whites into the yolks and mix, then do the reverse and fold with a spoonula only about 6-8 folds each addition (2X's)

I make 6 in pammed muffin top pans, piling high, and the rest in a jelly roll pan which I line with parchment.

Try this method.

Also these taste better the day after, and cold.

I love the french toast. Especially.

And burgers! With the savory type.

Forgive me if this is a repeat question, but are they induction friendly?

I have low carb'ed on and off since 2000. Trying to stick to it this time, but it's tough. I LOVE bread. I LOVE sandwiches. What amazes me is that in the seven years I've been LCing, I've only tried the rev rolls recipe ONCE. Mine turned out as flat as pancakes. And I did not like the taste. But the next day, they tasted pretty good. So I'm not sure why I never tried to make these again. Until now. They are SO good. Yes, mine are still a little flattish... gotta experiment a bit getting those whites at their peaks. But I absolutely love this recipe. It will definitely be something I make in batches every weekend to be consumed over the coming week.

BTW, I made mine with Helman's mayo, using 3 tbs to replace the cottage cheese/cream cheese/whatever.

Default Atkins cabbage lasagna

Hi,

Would someone share the recipe for cabbage lasagna that I believe was in a now out of print Atkins cookbook that was published sometime in the 1970's?

The old Atkins cookbooks I have found in used book outlets recently do not include this recipe.

Many thanks,

Chosee

I checked my edition of Dr. Atkins' Diet Cookbook (published in 1974), and did not see a recipe for cabbage lasagna. However, there is what looks to be a nice recipe for cabbage rolls stuffed with ground beef. Is that the recipe you remember?

Otherwise, check out this section for all manner of lasagna-type dishes. Just do a "find" on your computer for the word "pasta".

check here for "lasagna" type dishes using ground meat.

Thank you for checking your 1974 cookbook. I will try to get my hands on a copy of it so that I can try the cabbage rolls recipe you noted. Alibris.com is usually a good source for the old Atkins' cookbooks.

The step by step "low carb" lasagna recipe shown in this video looks delicious, but there is no indication of the total carbs per serving, so it will have to wait until I reach the maintenance phase:

For now, I will just try one or more of the variations on the old Diet Revolution Rolls recipe listed in this thread and hope for the best.
