Yesterday I made the Blueberry muffins from Low Carb & Loving it. Oddly, they filled my 12-cup pan when they were supposed to only fill 6 cups.
They did turn out great, though. Soft and moist with a good flavor. My husband even ate a few! And he's not low-carbbing and typically avoids special things I make. He said they are good and I should make them more often. I like the recipe because it is all real ingrediants and I didin't have to buy anything special, which I avoid doing. I grind my own soy flour. Yesterday I had a hot muffin with melted butter on it. Today I'll try one with cream cheese.

What is "Low Carb & Loving It"? What flour do they use? I'd like to make these, as an occasional treat, but I probably couldn't -- I tend to overeat muffins. I've made some low carb muffins before, and they were pretty good (if quite fibrous), but I ate too many too quickly. I wonder how well they freeze? That would be an option -- only eat them on weekends, after a 15-20 mile bike ride.
I bet the muffins would freeze just fine. The recipe supposedly only made 6, which I thought was a good number so that I wouldn't be tempted to overeat them before they went bad. However, it made 12 for me. But since hubby likes them, he is really polishing them off. 🙂 So thoughtful, he is! The recipe uses soy flour. It ends up being 8 carbs per muffin (well, 4 carbs for mine, I suppose)

Muffins will freeze well and keep them out of sight and handy with needed. Use cupcake papers and tins for ease. microwave for 30 seconds, spread with cream cheese before thawing to prevent a mess! what a treat!

They also keep quite a long time in the refrigerator. One thing I have noticed is most LC baked goods, unlike regular baked stuff, don't last very long without refrigeration.

Muffins in general - I don't know about this particular brand - freeze wonderfully well. I have a small stash of regular chocolate muffins, cut into quarters, that get defrosted to be eaten with icecream, as a very occasional treat : )

That's a fact. You can watch Emeril et al. 24/7 almost, but Low Carb is on at times like 1:30 PM Sunday, 5:00 PM Wednesday and not many others. Here's hoping your VCR isn't blinking 12:00...

I have a replay (like a Tivo). I just say that I want to record the show, and it'll find it for me, no matter what the time. I have all the Good Eats taped. (Well, except the ones I know I'll never make.)
Wolfgang Puck just had a very good show on salads and how to make a vinaigrette dressing. Just change the sugar to spenda or stivia (in greens the stivia tastes fine)
While I'm thinking of it, Emeril reluctantly had a Low carb show- He made tacos with jicama slices as the taco shell. I'm going to have to look that one up- I haven't used Jicama yet, but at 2 carb for 50 Grams worth a look. if you have some around, let us know what you think of this idea.

For Good Eats, I've made quite a few recipes. I now brine many meats, which I never did before watching his show. For intance, I've brined every turkey I've eaten for the last several years.
I enjoy Good Eats too. He cracks me up especially when he makes his own "gadgets". Very ingenious character! :-) Jicama is very fibrous, tastes a bit like an apple and has much the same texture so I'm curious how you would use it to make a pseudo-taco shell. It think it would snap in two when you tried to bend it.
