    So I did look at the ingredient's of trader joes small curd cottage cheese and compared it to other brands. Daisy btw has no stabilizers. trader joes has Nonfat Milk, Locust Bean Gum, Agar for stabilizers. I looked at several other brands and while they had stabilizers some including the Locust Bean Gum none of the others included Agar. This leads me to believe that the key component is the Agar. Agar is made from seaweed and causes things to gel, the gel is stable until 85Β°C or 185Β° F this is more than twice as high a temperature to other gelling agents. I think this is the key ingredient that is in trader joes cottage cheese that allows this to work. this also makes me wonder if the Agar could be added to your mozzarella cheese before making keto fathead dough to make it more stable when making things with it since it might help it keep it's shape at slightly higher heats.

    I will try this, but I have been using Kraft American Delux sliced cheese. White or Yellow, I make 4 crackers from 1 slice, place 12 pieces of cheese on parchment, microwave at 70% for 3 to 3.5 minutes. When golden, take out and let cool. Very crispy crackers. Less than 1 carb per 4 crackers.

    Hi Emily and SarahπŸ˜€, I learned from a married Keto YouTube couple a couple of years ago that you can take one of those protein bars and cut it up into four squares (I’ve done them whole even) and put them in your Air Fryer @350, middle rack (I have air fry oven), 3 to 4 minutes depending on your air fryer. They turn out like a cookie right out of the oven. Warm cookie and soft on the inside. Imo they taste much better than from a microwave.

    You two are SO fun to watch and bring us so many new ideas! Have you ever tried plain pepperoni chips? Not my original idea, but I can't remember where I read it. I put as many as I can fit (12-16?), on a paper towel on a plate (very greasy), and microwave for 50-60 seconds in my microwave. As you recommend, stay nearby watching them. The microwave is always a bit smokey when I open it, but they've never caught on fire, yet, haha! The paper towel on the bottom absorbs most of the grease, but I do also blot the grease off the tops. They are so crispy and delicious. I usually eat them plain, but I sometimes dip them in a little bit of plain sour cream or marinara sauce. I also use them as croutons on my pizza salad (greens, mozz pearls, sliced black olives, green onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, pepperoncini…whatever you like on your pizza, & Kraft sun-dried tomato Italian salad dressing, sure wish I could duplicate their recipe, the flavor is perfect for this salad). Thanks so much for entertaining and educating us! I always look forward to your new cooking videos and your keto lessons learned.

    Hi ladies! Tried these today with Good Culture brand cottage cheese. Worked fabulously. I added Trader Joe's Onion Salt mix = sour cream and onion! I noticed the first 4 – 5 minutes on power 5 seemed to evaporate the moisture then another minute on regular power did the browning. Thanks so much!

    Thanks for all the effort and time you put into making videos ! So appreciated by so so many people. Here's my idea for an episode : I absolutely loved your how -to-make-cauliflower-not -suck video. The concept of cooking it down to remove the cauliflower flavor was brilliant. I tried the spice combination that you suggested and it was great, but I would like to do a couple of more riffs on that, one more plain and maybe something else to go with say, Indian or Asian dishes. So, I wondered if you would do a whole cauliflower-not-sucking video including some different spice options other than the Spanish spices. Thanks for everything you do!

    Hi Emily. Thanks for the mention in your video! You didn't show you're removing the cooked, dried cottage cheese from the parchment paper. Did it stick for you? It always does for me so that's why I used a silpat mat. Glad it worked for you, I hope someday you will try this with a silicone made instead of parchment paper.

    Pork King Good makes a sour cream and onion flavor and also a himalayan salt and vinegar flavor seasoning. They would work really ell for this.
    BTW I ordered some LMNT for Black Friday and I am thrilled with the Watermelon flavor, Mango Flavor and the chocolate variety pack. I have tried both the mint and the regular chocolate so far. Today I am going to try the Chocolate Caramel. We will see if I like it. I did not like the Lemon Habanero but the Mango chilii is wonderful. I did not taste any habanero in the Lemon one. Weird. Anyway, I do like LMNT. I just wonder what type of salt they use. I have heard that they use regular bleached salt. Is that true??

    Sarah’s a genius. That’s how microwaves work. When you cook in them, put things in a circle, not like you would on a cookie sheet for a regular oven. Great job! Love your experiments!! ❀

    I have baked the Quest bars at 300 degrees for about 5 to 10 minutes. If you want a crispy outside and warm, chewy center….try that! Keep an eye on them….once they start to brown, they are done.

    I've made the pizza chips before with only Parmesan cheese and the pepperoni, then dipped into pizza sauce. I just made the cookies. I used Kirkland brand protein bars – chocolate chip cookie dough flavor. I nuked at 50% power for 1 minute. Mine actually melted a bit to look more like little cookies. They taste great! I will try the cottage cheese chips later today. Thanks Keto Twins!

    Thank you so much for sharing these videos. I don't have or use FaceBook or Instagram or any of the other websites. Again, so pleased and happy that you guys share these videos. I try so many of your recipes. We have so little of KETO supplies here in Europe, your solutions have kept me going on my KETO diet. I do wish the two of you and your family and your friends the absolute best for the Holidays. Take care of each other and be well!

    I have never liked cottage cheese but I do make a jello cheesecake with cottage cheese and my family loves it. I will try those cottage cheese chips! I want to thank you for introducing me to Lavish flat bread. I cut them into squares and a little avocado oil, I make chips( I put a little salt on them). They also stay fresh for a good while. Today I cut 4 squares out of one of the sheets and made BUNUELOS! ( sprinkled with allulose and cinnamon)They were very crispy and delicious! 3 carbs per square!
