Keto Bunless Philly Cheesesteak

Keto Bunless Philly CheesesteakKeto Bunless Philly CheesesteakKeto Bunless Philly Cheesesteak. I’m not sure but I may have had only one or two of these is my whole life and the reason is probably because I don’t particularly like green peppers. Well, I have been an adult for a long time now and guess what, I fixed this for myself only using yellow and red peppers and it was terrific. Now if you like green peppers then for sure go for it and I’m here to tell you it’s the herbs and spices that make this so good and…if you have your own favorite mix then go with that too. The meat I used was very thinly sliced top round roast and you can use the best meat you see fit to use. If you can buy it already sliced all the better. I rolled it, stuck it in the freezer and then sliced it again and this is the same meat cut I use for Beef Rouladen and Beef Stroganoff. You may wish to use your own Dry Italian Herbs and I have a sugar-free recipe too. I think you’ll find this keto bunless Philly Cheesesteak is a winner, winner, beefy dinner.

Keto Daikon French Fries

2 Replies

Daikon Radish French FriesDaikon Radish French FriesDaikon Radish French FriesKeto Daikon French Fries and I can not imagine any recipe more simple than this. Potatoes have been a staple the world round for 1,000’s of years, the daikon radish, probably a long time later but I know for sure, as a diabetic, it has been good to me. Who knows, maybe if enough people ask for them in grocery stores someone would come up with a way to mass produce keto daikon French fries but until then…you can make them for yourself. Just a little TIP: Unlike potatoes, Daikon Radishes do not turn brown. They have the thinnest skins imaginable and yet can last for weeks, unpeeled, in the fridge.

All my many other Keto~LowCarb Daikon Or Red Radishes As Potatoes Recipes may be seen here.

Keto Chicken Spiedini

Leave a reply

Keto Chicken SpiediniKeto Chicken SpiediniKeto Chicken Spiedini and what a terrific way to enjoy chicken. Easy, easy recipe with lots of kudos, oohs, awes, & praise from your family or dinner guests and…what a great way to worm Ground Pork Rinds instead of bread crumbs into your food. Keto Chicken Spiedini is super lemony and we all know how well lemon goes with chicken. It is traditionally served with a pasta and the first time I ate mine with Spaghetti Squash…with much relish I might say and yes, I ended up eating both the smaller skewers. The second picture is shown with Cauliflower Grits and was more than equally as good. Despite the list of ingredients, these go very quickly with lots of in-between waiting time. If you feel lazy and don’t want to go to the trouble, you can leave them whole and just fry them in butter.

  5. 2 t Garlic Paste
  6. 6-10" Or 12-6" Wooden Skewers
Instructions
  1. Cut each thigh into 6 cubes. (See Notes)
  2. Put cut chicken in a large bowl, lightly sprinkle with salt on all and allow to sit about 30-45 minutes.
  3. In small bowl mix all marinade ingredients. (Set Aside)
  4. Add marinade (don’t rinse the salted chicken) making sure chicken cubes are well coated. Again allow to sit another 30-45 minutes.
  5. When Ready, preheat oven to 350°-360°.
  6. While waiting for chicken to marinate, make and mix the crumb dredge, and put on large platter for dredging.
  7. Skewer 10-12 pieces of chicken per person.
  8. When ready, dredge each skewer into the crumb mix. Make sure you cover them well with it.
  9. Place the skewers on a sheet pan lined with foil and bake 25-28 minutes. They will not stick.
  10. Be sure to leave space between each skewer when baking.

Notes
  1. There are natural ways to cut a thigh by dividing the smaller side from the larger side then cutting the smaller into 2 pieces and the larger into 4 pieces. This is approximate and you should cut appropriately. You just don’t want the pieces too large. About 1½” pieces should work and you should get 6 cubes from each thigh. For judgement I figured about 2 thighs per person or for 1-10" skewer.
  2. I used 6” skewers, I also have 10”, and they are what I would use next time. I ate both of them.
  3. I have never washed chicken and I suggest you never wash yours either.

Keto Cream Cheese Fondue

Keto Cream Cheese FondueKeto Cream Cheese FondueKeto Cream Cheese FondueKeto Cream Cheese FondueKeto Cream Cheese FondueKeto Cream Cheese FondueKeto Cream Cheese Fondue. This cream cheese fondue is the second fondue recipe on the site but honestly it is the easier, creamier of the two. Many people have trouble melting Gruyère or other traditional fondue cheeses so this keto cream cheese fondue is for you. Personally it is difficult to tell the difference and it’s what I am going to be making from now on. The ingredients are both piquant and what most people will have on hand or are easily obtainable. Though some of you will use keto cream cheese fondue to dip bread into, its primary purpose is to use it with sausages, vegetables, and yes, even pork rinds are terrific. It also makes a great nachos sauce using pork rinds and if topped with chicken or beef…a fabulous dinner.

Keto Thousand Island Dressing

Leave a reply

Keto Thousand Island DressingKeto Thousand Island DressingKeto Thousand Island DressingKeto Thousand Island Dressing. I should have posted this keto thousand island dressing recipe a 1,000 years ago but you know how it is and better late than never.  I kind of messed up a little getting ahead of myself with pictures and kinda forgot to take a picture of the finished dressing and that’s why you see that puny little dish with only about ¼ cup in it. Oops.

Anyway, back at the ranch (on one of those 1,000 islands), this recipe has been around forever. Some will mix in a hard-boiled egg but I like the way a salad or most other things look with grated egg on top so that’s the way I do mine.  If you are going to top something like the Open-Faced Rueben then better to add your hard-boiled egg into the dressing or better yet, put the egg in the dressing and then more grated egg on top.

Keto Carolina Meat Mop

Leave a reply

Keto Carolina Meat MopKeto Carolina Meat MopKeto Carolina Meat Mop is dedicated to my friend Steve C. who lived in North Carolina until…he found the fantastic Kelly T who…just happened to live in Canada. He followed her to Canada at the beginning of the “Covid”, has not been able to return to his home, and I’m betting he misses a good Keto Carolina Meat Mop recipe. Really, he probably has his own because he makes soooo many pork dinners but one can never have too many recipes for something you love. Below are a couple of Steve’s pics of pork from his website www.diabeteswarrior.net.

Serve with Keto Coleslaw and this is a true Southern favorite. The recipe is for the meat mop only and to use with Pulled Pork see here. There are virtually no carbs and when served with chicken or pork, the only thing that changes are the calories as there are no carbs in either of those either.

Notes
  1. I used Tabasco Sauce because it is also vinegar based and in my opinion the best hot sauce for this recipe.
  2. As the butter cools it begins to coagulate so just mix it back in when ready to serve.
  3. You may be thinking that this looks extremely spicy but the butter cuts lots of it. It is really quite well balanced.

Keto Tonnato

Keto TonnatoKeto TonnatoKeto TonnatoKeto TonnatoKeto Tonnato and it kind of reminds me of the song; you say Potato, I say Potahto, you say Tomato, I say Tomahto…. Let’s call the whole thing off. Only we are not calling the whole thing off because this Keto Tonnato Sauce is literally to die for good. It was and is, traditionally served with veal in Europe (Italy originally)) but here in the good old USA we do not have much veal to speak of anymore as the veal police swept through and decided we shouldn’t be killing baby cows anymore. But the good news is that it is good with lots of other foods. It is really kinda, sorta like a “tuna mayo” if you will. The absolute success to any Keto Tonnato is using a good quality Tuna, packed in real olive oil, and I have shown two pictures of what I use. I have also shown it with veal but it is certainly not limited to it. Notably with chicken or pork scallopini, thinly cut pieces of either tenderloin or loin of pork, vegetables of all kinds which might include broccolini & green beans, and used as a dip with a crudités. When all else fails you can just take a spoon to it and…eat it.

Keto Cream Of Bacon Soup

Keto Cream Of Bacon SoupKeto Cream Of Bacon SoupKeto Cream Of Bacon Soup. A while ago a new Italian butcher shop opened near me and they have & smoke their own jowl bacon (guanciale).

It just seemed too easy to be true but…it is.

Low Carb Tiger Sauce

Leave a reply

Low Carb Tiger SauceLow Carb Tiger SauceLow Carb Tiger SauceLow Carb Tiger Sauce. I made this the other day on a whim and it was so good I decided to make it a recipe for you. Super easy and can be served with many meats. It is pretty spicy but the good news; there are no Thai bird chili peppers in it. I love spicy foods of all kinds but Thai peppers are a bit over the top even for me as I also want to be able to actually taste my food. I have shown this low carb tiger sauce it with a pork flank steak and then with a nice rare hanger steak and it was fabulous with both meals. I also have a sneaking suspicion this would go really well with eggs.

This recipe should now lead you to Keto Tiger Everything Dip which means you can dip just about anything and everything into it with…Shrimp leading the way.

All Things Daikon Radish

Low Carb Daikon RadishLow Carb Daikon RadishLow Carb Daikon RadishAll Things Daikon Radish. Or…in my keto~lowcarb diabetic world…potatoes. Since going lowcarb and after having been diagnosed as diabetic 12 years ago, I have been using daikon and red radishes as my potato substitute with spectacular results and I am sharing them all below. Never could there have been a more well designed vegetable than the Daikon Radish, not only for you low-carbers but especially for all you diabetics. They can be used and cut in so many ways it’s not even funny. In stews, as French fries, in casseroles, in soups, in salads, pickled, desserts,…hope you are getting the idea. There is no way, after eating these, that you should miss potatoes eating Keto-LowCarb, and the absolute best thing about using daikon radishes in place of potatoes is that they take on any flavor you want them to. Savory yep, sweet yep, sour yep, that too. As you look at the pics & recipes notice how diverse & different they are. I am going to bet you will find a million ways to use the low carb daikon radish. There are more…whatever you can imagine. Below are many of the recipes on the site using the wonderful low carb daikon radish. So no matter which radish you choose either a daikon or red, they work equally well. They nearly all need to be parboiled just like any potato and instructions are included in the recipes.

Keto Mediterranean Salad

Leave a reply

Keto Mediterranean SaladKeto Mediterranean Salad. Hoping you can not only tell from the pictures but also from the simple ingredients how good this keto Mediterranean salad really is. The emphasis is on the herbs and you can easily use more of one than the other. I like to make the dressing the day before using just to let the dried herbs soften and infuse into the oil. I have used Castelvetrano olives and I think Kalamata olives would be just as good and maybe you could mix & match them. The biggest difference is that the Castelvestranos don’t have quite as strong a flavor. I also used Labne which would be traditional but you will probably use a good thick yogurt with maybe a pinch of salt. The second picture is done in chunks with the addition of Kalamatas and purple onion instead of sliced shallots and both were terrific. The addition of fresh thyme leaves add another depth of flavor but if you don’t have them don’t fret.
