Low Carb Spaghetti Squash Latkes With Lemon Sage Butter

Leave a reply

Low Carb Spaghetti Squash Latkes With Lemon Sage ButterLow Carb Spaghetti Squash Latkes With Lemon Sage Butter. I made a Traditional Spaghetti Sauce with some spaghetti squash last night for dinner and because it was a pretty good sized squash I had some left. These Spaghetti Squash Latkes are just one of the recipes I make with leftover spaghetti squash and there are several of them. These are very easily made as the leftover squash is already in the fridge. Here is another recipe that uses 2 cups.  Spaghetti Squash Pastitsio.

Low Carb Wilted Spinach Salad

Leave a reply

Low Carb Wilted Spinach SaladLow Carb Wilted Spinach Salad. This is a pretty standard Wilted Spinach Salad recipe and sometimes we just need to be reminded of the many different salad choices we have. This couldn’t be too much easier.  I think for a bit of crunchy goodness, this would be enhanced with toasted sliced almonds and I have added them into the recipe.  As you can see I grated my egg. More SURFACE AREA , more taste. I know you’ve had this so…have it again.

Low Carb Bacon Egg Spinach And Onion Salad

Leave a reply

Low Carb Bacon Egg Spinach And Onion SaladLow Carb Bacon Egg Spinach And Onion SaladLow Carb Bacon Egg Spinach And Onion Salad. There is a very funny true story which leads to the recipe.  Way back in the day I often had a hard time being invited to anyone’s house for dinner because of the way I cooked.  Sadly, my insecure friends were intimidated. They had all been to my house for dinner multiple times and were convinced they could not make something suitable that I would eat. I finally just kinda got mad and told them that I loved pot roast, pretty much thinking anyone can fix an edible pot roast and until they invited me for dinner I would not have them over again.  Sooo, my friend Carol said she could make a pretty good one and invited me for dinner and WOW, don’t always believe someone when they say they make a pretty mean pot roast because I am here to tell you her pot roast was mean and not in such a good way. Apparently she put a frozen chunk of meat in her slow cooker at 2:00 in the afternoon and I was to come at 5:30. When I got there the roast was still frozen in the center and would probably have needed another 4-5 hours to cook. Oh Lordy, and what to do. I got on the phone to our local grocery that spit-cooked X number of chickens per day and yes, I asked them to hold the last one while I drove over to pick it up. Meanwhile Carol peeled and started cooking the potatoes. We (I) had decided mashed might be better. Well we ate that chicken with mashed potatoes at about 7:00 but laugh? Oh yeah, we laughed alright and to this day nearly 25 yrs. later we still laugh about it. Did Carol ever finally make pot roast for me? Not on your life.

After I had moved I met other people who could cook and were not in the least bit worried about serving me a terrific meal and Dorothy was one of those people. I asked for her salad Low Carb Bacon Egg Spinach And Onion Salad and here it is. The only things I have subbed are toasted almonds in place of water chestnuts, a sugar-free ketchup and Allulose which is zero carb and paleo.

Low Carb Chocolate Brownie Cookies

Leave a reply

Low Carb Chocolate Brownie CookiesLow Carb Chocolate Brownie Cookies. The recipe for Mocha Zucchini Brownies/Mocha Ganache was just a happy mistake but these chocolate brownie cookies where definitely not. I don’t make many cookie recipes but as I was sitting on the couch last night thinking (about food) it came to me if you made a mistake with the brownies could you make a good brownie cookie on purpose? I got to work first thing in the morning and the answer was a resounding yes.

I’m betting if you made these for your kids (which that includes a kid husband) and left these low carb chocolate brownie cookies on the counter?…they would disappear as if by magic.

Chocolate Brownie Cookies
Print
Cookies
  1. 1 C Finely Shredded Zucchini
  2. ¼ C Coconut Flour
  3. ¼ C Cocoa Powder
  4. ¾ C Allulose
  5. 1 t Baking Powder
  6. 2 T Melted Butter
  7. 2 T Melted Coconut Oil
  8. 2 Eggs
  9. 1 t Vanilla
  10. 2 T Sour Cream
  11. ¾ C Chopped Walnuts
Ganache
  1. ¼ C Heavy Cream
  2. ¼ C Sugar Free Chocolate Chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Mix coconut flour, cocoa, and baking powder.
  3. Beat eggs, sour cream, coconut oil, and butter.
  4. Beat in Allulose & vanilla until well mixed and blend into dry ingredients.
  5. Stir in zucchini & walnuts.
  6. Using a 2 T scoop place 12 dough balls on a Silpat or a parchment lined ½ sheet pan.
  7. Bake 13-14 minutes and immediately remove to wire rack to cool.
Ganache
  1. Heat heavy cream to boil, remove from heat & add chocolate chips. Mix until chocolate is totally incorporated.
  2. (This Would Be The Time To Add Any Additional Flavorings)
  3. Top cooled (frozen*) cookies with ganache.
  4. If by chance you have one of those cheap squeeze bottles (I do) this is the time to use it as the ganache is easily controllable.

  6. 125 Calories, 3.4g Protein, 10.7g Fat, 3.9g Carbs, 2.0g Fiber, 1.9g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. Work quickly. Once you have added the zucchini to the dough it can tend to become watery so do not dilly dally around. Stick in the oven immediately.
  2. Suggestion: If you let your zucchini sit out on the counter for 3-4 days they begin to lose some of their moisture and for this particular recipe it's a good thing as that moisture can make the cookies spread more than they otherwise would. But a little spread or not these are fantastic.
  3. Each brownie cookie is a pretty good size at about 3" in diameter.
  4. If you do not have a fine grater for the zucchini you can process or chop it a bit after grating. The idea is to not have long strands of zucchini.
  5. I freeze* my cookies first so that when I drizzle on the ganache it becomes hard quickly.

Keto Steak TarTare

Leave a reply

Keto Steak TarTareKeto Steak TarTareKeto Steak TarTare. In case you haven’t noticed I DO eat raw beef from time to time (think Carpaccio) and this is one I eat a lot.  Every time I see it on a restaurant menu which is not so often anymore I order it, and for as many times as I have ordered it, it is always different and I have to say I like my own recipe best. If you see it at all it is usually served with a raw egg or quail yolk but what the hey, I just blend it all together.  Steak Tartare is also always served with some kind of bread or toast but I just eat the meat and savor the flavor.  To tell the truth this is one of the few times I might use my own recipe for Carbalose Flour Bread and the bread is totally optional.  Another nice lowcarb option would be to serve and spread it on endive.

There are many beautiful ways to present a keto steak tartare.  Some restaurants prepare the meat and then artfully add the other ingredients around it but for our purposes we are going to just gently mix all the ingredients and…eat it.

Low Carb Raspberry Almond Crêpes

Leave a reply

Low Carb Raspberry Almond CrêpesLow Carb Raspberry Almond Crêpes. You know, I had forgotten about this recipe until Jane Barthelemy of Janes Healthy Kitchen fame posted her Strawberry Crêpe Cake.  Though these low carb raspberry almond crêpes are totally different from her cake, and I had first served them almost 40 years ago in the restaurant, she did remind me of my altered version which I have now made several times and with different fruits.

I originally used ridiculously high carby, sugary almond paste but not anymore and because it has been so, so long since I have made them I really don’t remember how they tasted.  All I know is that these are very good.  You will need one recipe of the Flaxseed Meal Crêpes and then proceed to the filling.  There are quite a few ways to roll and fold crêpes so you may decide for yourself which way you think is best, they are all easy and here are three ways to fold them.

Ingredients
  1. 1 Recipe Flaxseed Meal Crêpes
  2. 8 Oz Softened Cream Cheese
  3. ¼ C Heavy Cream
  4. 6 Drops Liquid Sucralose
  5. 1 t Vanilla Extract
  6. ½ t Almond Extract

  10. ¼ t Almond Extract
  11. ¼ C Sliced Almonds
Instructions
  1. Lightly toast sliced almonds.
  2. Mix ¾ C raspberries, water, ¼ t almond extract, & 3 drops Sucralose. This is your coulis drizzle and you can add more water as necessary if wanted.
  3. Beat cream cheese, Sucralose, and remaining vanilla & almond extracts. Add heavy cream and ½ C raspberries & beat until blended.
  4. Lay out crêpes and thinly smear each with cream cheese mixture.
  5. Fold crêpes as wanted, drizzle with coulis, sprinkle with almonds, & garnish with remaining berries.

Notes
  1. Nutritionals include crêpes.
  2. A real coulis is put through a sieve and I don’t do this as it leaves so very little sauce and seriously, there is nothing wrong with eating the seeds.
  3. A diluted sugar-free jam may also be used and saves making your drizzle from scratch. Actually this is what I do as it is far less expensive than using fresh raspberries. If you don’t care about using any fresh raspberries you can use the jam throughout the recipe.
  4. For the picture I did use fresh raspberries throughout.

Keto Bacon Blue Cheese Salad

Keto Bacon Blue Cheese SaladKeto Bacon Blue Cheese SaladKeto Bacon Blue Cheese SaladKeto Bacon Blue Cheese Salad. This was served to me as a dinner guest about 40 years ago and I scratched out the recipe on a little piece of paper (which I still have) and I estimate that little piece of paper to be about 39-40 years old.  It’s not so much the salad but the dressing & salad combination that is so good.  I have since made this many times but was unable to eat it until recently and…now I can. The original dressing recipe had massive amounts of sugar in it which of course has now changed. I have also changed the oil and I cannot tell the difference. So, serve it to friends & see if they ask for your recipe. In the restaurant I served this as a small side salad and also piled it onto a full size plate for dinner. Our town librarian came in after work about 4-5 times a week to eat it.  I used to call it Maureen’s salad for no other reason than it was first served to me by Maureen but it really does not begin to really describe how good it is.  Seriously what could possibly go wrong with a keto bacon blue cheese salad? If you are looking to wow anyone, do side twists of bacon (top last picture) and put on the side of the salad. Not only are they impressive, they are super crispy good.

  2. ½ Lb Fried & Crumbled Bacon
  3. ½ Thinly Sliced Red Onion Cut Into Pieces

  1. Fry bacon, cool and crumble.
  2. Dump greens, bacon, red onion, & crumbled blue cheese into bowl, saving a little to place on top, and toss.
  3. Put olive oil, vinegar, Allulose, & salt, in a small jar and shake vigorously.

Notes
  1. This is how I made the dressing with Allulose. Since salt does not dissolve in oil I add it to the vinegar & Allulose, stir until all is dissolved, then add the oil and shake.
  2. Because of the salty sweetness of the dressing I think raspberries or strawberries would be a great addition and if you think about it how different is the dressing from a good raspberry vinaigrette?
  3. Dressing is zero carb and will last in the fridge forever.
  4. If you want to make this for less than 6 people I would suggest making it without adding the oil. When ready, drizzle oil on the top of the salads, then drizzle equal amounts of the vinegar base and then there is no refrigeration needed.

Low Carb Canlis Salad

Leave a reply

Low Carb Canlis SaladLow Carb Canlis Salad. The Canlis Salad comes from the Canlis restaurant in Seattle, WA and has become an institution. I myself have never eaten there and after looking at their menu (no individual prices) I can see why. It’s expensive and I’ll bet well worth it. The recipe for this salad is perhaps their signature dish and if not, it is certainly what they are most famous for. Low Carb Canlis Salad, very different~very good.

From their website: “Of all the recipes requested, none is more cherished than the Canlis Salad. Taught to him by his Lebanese mother, the Canlis salad was perfected by Peter Canlis and introduced to the world on opening night, December 11, 1950. Served in homes and restaurants around the world, the recipe, [as it appears below], is one of our family’s prized possessions”. Yeah, I tweaked it for low carb, a bit more to my liking, and took out the croutons.  This is a Lebanese salad and the mint is original to the recipe.  When I say in a recipe “the mint is optional but good” it just means you can leave it out but I guarantee you it is good to buy and use mint as it enhances the flavors of anything you use it in and you will find it used in many  ways, in many recipes on this site.

Low Carb Angels On HorsebackLow Carb Angels On Horseback. Back in the day there was a restaurant in Durango, CO that served these. They came on buttered toast points and ye gads I was in love L.U.V. As an appetizer they are so easy to make, I mean look at the ingredients. You will need fresh oysters as canned are already cooked and these are cooked. They can be made in a very hot oven or broiled but are really at their best & highest flavor done on a small blazing hot grill and particularly good dipped in Remoulade.

Low Carb Anything Goes Gumbo

Leave a reply

Low Carb Anything Goes GumboLow Carb Anything Goes Gumbo.  Another one of those southern comfort foods.  A Louisiana purist might have you believe it should be a shrimp & andouille sausage gumbo or a chicken & sausage gumbo but don’t ever mix them all together. Can I put mushrooms in my gumbo?  I say hogwash-there is no “perfect” gumbo combination except what you want it to be and what tastes good to you.  Low carb anything goes gumbo is nothing more that a glorified beef-less stew and we all know you can put about anything but the kitchen sink in a stew.  So have at it cause everything you add brings a little more flavor to the party.  Gumbo is also traditionally served with a big scoop of rice either under or on top and we will not be using that either.  This uses fried riced cauliflower and by the time you finish this low carb anything goes gumbo you won’t miss rice. I’ve had gumbo so hot it almost knocked my socks off and I’ve also had it pretty bland so you will have to taste test this and add your heat as necessary. If you absolutely want a bed of something under this my suggestion would be Cauliflower Grits and not to be confused with riced cauliflower.

There is no flour in this so there is not that deep flavor that only comes from a roux but we are going to make it up in some other ways and we can thickened it a bit with this and that.

Low Carb Remoulade

Low Carb RemouladeLow Carb RemouladeLow Carb RemouladeLow Carb Remoulade. To my mind Remoulade is kind of a pinkish mixture not too unlike aioli except for its chunky texture.  Yes they certainly can and do taste differently depending on the ingredients but the visual can be quite striking.  If you look at most prepared remoulades they seen to be white and this does not appeal to me in the least.  White denotes Tartar Sauce, low carb remoulade is definitely not tartar sauce, and keto remoulade  is so very easy to make.

Many things to serve this with, here are just a few and I am sure you will come up with many of your own uses. Crab Cakes, served with Bacon Wrapped Shrimp as a dipping sauce, your own Open-Faced Rueben Sandwich and with a bay shrimp salad served on lettuce with tomato & hard boiled egg with a wedge of lemon.  Here it is shown with Fried Oysters.
