Low Carb GroundDogs

Low Carb GroundDogsLow Carb GroundDogsLow Carb GroundDogs. Just in time for groundhog day and in march the GroundDogs. This is pathetically easy & your children (husbands) should love this super easy recipe.  No, we are not making hot dogs, only grinding them for a salad-like lunch or as a spread for crackers.  Have  to say I really had fun naming this puppy and hey N.Y. Mayor Bill de Blasio, keep your hands off these low carb grounddogs.  No ground hogs or dogs of any kind will be harmed in the making of this dish.

GroundDogs
Print
Ingredients
  1. 4 ¼ Lb Hot Dogs (I Use Hebrew National)
  2. ½ C Mayonnaise
  3. ⅓ C Sugarfree Sweet Pickle Relish (Mt. Olive)
  4. 3 T Yellow Mustard
  5. 1 t Liquid Smoke
Instructions
  1. Brown and then grind (process) hotdogs.
  2. Mix rest of ingredients.
  3. Blend in dog meat.
  4. 4 Servings
  5. 473 Calories, 13.1g Protein, 45.4g Fat, 3.0g Carbs, 0g Fiber, 3.0g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. It may seem a little soupy to begin with and if you are going to eat it immediately (not advised and see below) use a little less mayo but if put in the refrigerator for later, it will all soak up and congeal from the fat in the dogs.
  2. You can serve this with anything you like.
  3. This tastes just like a stadium dog with no high carby bun.
  4. This is also a perfect cold lunch plate on a hot summer day.
  5. The only reason this has any carbs at all is because they are now put into the hotdogs via sugar. As I said I used Hebrew National and if you have a really good, tasty, sugar-free dog then for heaven’s sake use them. At least for me the carbs are far out-weighted by the very high fat content.
  6. Not advisable to eat immediately as the flavors need to develop a little over some refrigeration time.

Low Carb Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

Leave a reply

Low Carb Creamy Chicken Noodle SoupYeah, Low Carb Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup.  Congers up children, comfort food, winter, a fireplace and probably lots of other things. As lowcarbers chicken noodle soup probably does not come to mind except we may miss it from time to time. If you only want plain ole soup then you may certainly sub stock for the “creamy” part but you will be missing the fat.

This low carb creamy chicken noodle soup is a very easy recipe to make lots & lots of and still have leftovers.  You will need one recipe of Spaetzle which act as the noodles.

The name pretty well says it all and it’s perfect with Crab Cakes.  Aioli is pretty much always a garlic mayo mixture with any number of herbs and spices to flavor it and this is only one variation.  This low carb spicy chipotle aioli is no exception.  Try it on a burger, fish etc.

Low Carb Brabant Potatoes

2 Replies

Low Carb Brabant PotatoesLow Carb Brabant PotatoesLow Carb Brabant Potatoes. I think one of the things most diabetics or people going low carb for the first time miss are potatoes. Though I have never eaten tons of potatoes I certainly like them, these are a terrific substitute and easy, easy, easy. Brabant potatoes are nothing more than deep fried cubed potatoes and the only thing we are doing is cubing daikon radish instead. Cut differently and still deep fried, they make a great french fry substitute. Use your favorite oil and I use my own rendered tallow and butter is great too. The flavor? OMG and good grief. Low Carb brabant potatoes barely needs a recipe they are so easy. Can substitute these for Caramelized Zucchini in Chicken Tchoupitoulas.

  2. Favorite Oil for Frying (Olive Oil, Tallow, Or Butter And Duck Fat Is The Best)

  2. Cut into approximate ½" cubes.
  3. I cut mine into ½" rounds, then into ½" strips for French fries, and then turn again for cubes.
  4. Parboil until fork tender, just like you would any potato.
  5. Drain well in a strainer.
  6. Stirring often, sauté in 350°-360° fat until golden brown.

  2. It is OK to crowd them assuming your oil is hot enough as they will shrink a bit.

Keto Beef Blue Cheese Parmesan Bake

Keto Beef Blue Cheese Parmesan BakeKeto Beef Blue Cheese Parmesan Bake

Keto Beef Blue Cheese Parmesan Bake. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks but as I am an old dog, I have learned a new trick from a friend who wishes to remain nameless.

Keto Beef Blue Cheese Parmesan BakeKeto Beef Blue Cheese Parmesan BakeKeto Beef Blue Cheese Parmesan BakeAbove are pictures of my NEW, NEW old dog trick. Same recipe & ingredients, just put together differently. First, steak is cooked as the whole piece at least 1” thick and 1½” is better, and then sliced which gives you a much better chance of keeping your meat rarish. Once cooked, put into baking dish and pour gravy over meat. Dot with Blue Cheese Dressing, sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese and bake. If you want the rarest possible outcome, stand slices upright and close together. Will only need about 2 T butter instead of 8 T so adjust accordingly.

This  Keto Beef Blue Cheese Parmesan Bake is a recipe I have made for 35+years but not very successfully the last 7+ years.  The beef used to be dredged in flour which then became the thickening agent.  I have always used a good top sirloin steak and that is what I used here and not dredged in anything.  Awhile ago I ordered some Konjac (Glucomanan Powder), experimented with it several times, and failed miserably so I gave up.  Well, I do know how to use guar gum & xanthan gum that I bought long ago and which you may see in more than a few recipes but it didn’t occur to me to thicken with them and this is where my friend comes in. She told me she uses guar gum to thicken the few gravies she makes and that I should try it.  When I bought both products I got tired of measuring each one so I ended up mixing them 50/50.  So if yours are separate use the guar gum but mixed worked just great for me and this is what I did.  I put 1 t in a salt shaker and sprinkled while whisking until it got too thick…ugh so I added a bit more water and voila…success. I emptied out the shaker and measured what I had left and that’s how I came up with the approximate amount in the recipe.  Yours may vary and using a shaker is so, so, easy.   This recipe for Cauliflower Grits is perfect underneath.  You will either need Blue Cheese Dressing or your own favorite blue cheese dressing. I have made the gravy for eight servings and that would include enough for Cauliflower Grits or perhaps Daikon Radish Brabants, otherwise you will probably have enough left-overs for another meal and it’s great with Chicken Fried Steak. All that said; on to the recipe.

Beef & Blue Cheese Parmesan Bake
Print
Ingredients
  1. 3 Lbs Good Top Sirloin Steak At Least 1" but preferably 1½" Thick
  2. 8 T Butter
  3. 3 C Water
  4. 1 C Sour Cream
  5. Beef Base To Taste (Don't Be Timid)
  6. ¼ t Guar Gum
  7. ¼ t Xanthan Gum
  8. ¾ C Blue Cheese Dressing
  9. ¾ C Parmesan Cheese
  10. Salt & Pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°.
  2. In large skillet heat 2 T of butter to brown.
  3. Cut beef into strips ¼-½” thick.
  4. Very lightly salt and pepper beef strips and fry quickly in very, and I mean very, hot butter. Repeat until all beef is sautéed putting into a large glass baking dish.
  5. Add water & beef base (don't be timid) to skillet, sprinkle in gums while whisking, bring to boil and stop the gums when only slightly thickened as it will continue to do so.
  6. Take off heat cooling only slightly and whisk in sour cream until smooth.
  7. Pour over beef strips and using a large spoon dot the top with blue cheese dressing.
  8. Sprinkle parmesan cheese all over top and bake 15 minutes until cheese begins to brown-if it takes too long, turn on the broiler to finish it. You want to keep your beef no more done than medium.
  9. 8 Servings
  10. 599 calories, 59.1g Protein, 39.4g Fat, 2.1g Carbs, 0 Fiber, 2.1g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. It is much easier to cut beef strips when the meat is semi-frozen but make sure you bring it back to room temperature.
  2. Strips may be cut ¼” but if you like your steak a little more rare cut ½” which is what I do.
  3. I serve this over mashed cauliflower but it is good all by its’ lonesome.
  4. I mix my guar gum and xanthan gum 50/50 and now keep it in a small salt shaker. This way I am not always debating which one to use for what.

Keto Crab Cakes

Leave a reply

Keto Crab CakesKeto Crab CakesKeto Crab Cakes. Ugh, I hate the fact that crab is so expensive, even here in Oregon where we get the stuff as fresh as you can imagine.  I think these keto crab cakes with spicy chipotle aioli should be a “treat meal” for a family of four or served as an appetizer for a special dinner party.

If you have ring molds they will certainly help in the making of these as anyone who has ever tried to form a crab cake will attest -they fall apart very easily.  I personally do not have these molds but I do have really old larger tuna cans that I have used for years and if you buy rings you will probably find other ways to use them as well. (Think eggs). But you can certainly make 8 then serve 2 each as the smaller cakes are easier to deal with. Norpro makes a set of 4-3½” muffin rings for somewhere around $7-8.  They will make life easier. Here is a place to get more Ring Molds than you ever thought possible. Please don’t let the though of expensive crab stop you from making these as you can always use a good quality tuna.

  5. Gently form crab cakes and put into pork skins. Do not try to turn them as they fall apart easily. Just take more skins and gently press onto the tops.
  6. If, and I mean if, you have egg rings this is a time to use them.
  7. Lightly butter rings and place one in pork skins. fill ring & sprinkle more skins on top. Repeat.
  8. I actually do not have rings because way back when, I started saving tuna cans and that is what I use.
  9. Place crab cakes in butter, cook 6-7 minutes, remove rings, flip gently, and cook another 6-7 minutes. You want your cakes to be nice & crispy, and golden brown & delicious.
  10. Either spread aioli on plates and place cakes on top or…plate cakes and drizzle aioli on top.

Low Carb Steak Oscar

Leave a reply

Low Carb Steak Oscar is an elegant dish that used to be served in the finest restaurants all over the country and for some unknown reason it is now difficult to find.  The reason can’t be because it isn’t good because it is fabulous.  Perhaps the reason lies in the fact that we have had an explosion of talented people entering the food scene nationwide with so many new and eclectic foods that it has just kinda dropped off the radar.  At any rate it is still a topnotch dish in my book and this is my rendition.  Medallions of veal may be used in place of steak and good luck finding veal anymore.  My last bastion to buy veal dried up awhile ago.  This is a very easy, uncomplicated recipe to make and you will need a recipe of Sauce Béarnaise to finish it.  Since crab meat is so very expensive I would not suggest lump crab as it is the most expensive, and probably not canned crab as it has been cooked into oblivion.  If you are going to serve this, best to bite the bullet and buy good quality flaked crab meat.  If you are on a budget (and who isn’t) try imitation crab and who knows, it may actually be good but beware imitation crab is full of carbs.  This low carb steak oscar is a restaurant quality, dinner for guests meal.

Fried Cauliflower With Lemon Capers

Leave a reply

Low Carb Deep Fried Cauliflower With Lemon CapersFried Cauliflower With Lemon Capers. I have to say this recipe is so simple and I wish I had thought of it myself…but I didn’t.  We have a restaurant here in Portland that serves (ed) it.  I just looked at their menu and no longer see it listed and how sad because it is so, so good. The first thing I did was to go home and try making it myself and we have been eating it regularly ever since.  I fry this in my own rendered tallow but you may certainly use your favorite oil. I save my oil and then use it to make Southern Fried Chicken as the oil is totally clean when I finish with it. Tallow is such a stable oil that it can easily be reheated and will not break down like most other oils.  Don’t not make this because you don’t have tallow-it’s just what I use.  The best thing about this is you can fry everything but the leaves.  Yep, the core too.  In addition to the recipe below I do sometimes drizzle a little Asian Dipping Sauce on low carb deep fried cauliflower with lemon capers because I pretty much always have it in the fridge but the recipe stands totally by itself. Kinda hard to describe the fabulous flavor of this dish…You’ll just have to try it and see.

Low Carb Poor Man Steaks

Leave a reply

Low Carb Poor Man SteaksLow Carb Poor Man SteaksLow Carb Poor Man Steaks.  I grew up in the 50’s & 60’s in Lima, Ohio which certainly would have been considered the heart of the Midwest.  Now Lima is famous for a couple of things, and people like Phyllis Diller, Hugh Downs, and Al Jardine one of the founders of The Beach Boys. I didn’t know about any of these people until later but one of my earliest memories was/is the Kewpee and Kewpee hamburgers.  Now remember, in the early 50’s there were not many restaurants anywhere except mostly in famous hotels and to a kid going to the Kewpee was a treat beyond the pale.  As I remember it, all they had were hamburgers and “frostys” and it is well documented that Dave Thomas of Wendy’s fame modeled his square burger patties and malts after the Kewpee’s.  Back then a burger was .15 and a frosty (served in a large frosted soda glass, hence the name)  was probably about the same price. When the price of the burger went to .25 I well remember my youngest brother saying he was never going to the Kewpee again.  Well, it took about a week for that to pass.  And Christmas? The best presents?…were tiny little coupons for 4-5 free Kewpees from the owner Stub Wilson and I mean like WOW.  The picture above is exactly as I remember it with the sign “Your Grandpappy Ate Here”. This is their menu now.  The space was so confined, with so little parking and with a huge building in the back that the only way out was to drive onto a turntable, turn 180° and go out the same way you came in.  To a little kid is was pretty heady stuff.

OK, anyway, throughout my life I have tried to make a hamburger that tasted like a Kewpee burger and…I have failed miserably.  I don’t think it can be done but in the meantime I did come up with this and it’s only sorta, kinda, close.  I did serve these in the restaurant as a “blue plate special” and yes, on a big blue platter.  People loved them so…here is my (pathetic) rendition of a Kewpee and you know what?  Low carb poor man steaks are really good and Primal Keto Gravy is really good on them.

Low Carb Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Ganache Tart

Leave a reply

Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Ganache TartLow Carb Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Ganache Tart. This started out as an experiment so I only made one which I ate all…by…my lonesome. I don’t often eat much dessert and now I am a self-confessed pig.  It was so good I am posting a recipe that will serve 16.  They are deceptively simple and if you aren’t serving 16 people they freeze well for a future treat.  I just happen to have 8-3⅞” tart tins which is why I made them this way and you can certainly use a larger tart tin.  Just be sure you use removable bottomed tins.

You will need 1 smaller crust recipe from Pie Crusts For Most Any Pie/Two Sizes. If you do have mini tart tins they also make a terrific shell for individual Lemon Curd tarts or any other small dessert you may wish to fill a tart shell with.

Low Carb Spaghetti Squash Casserole

Leave a reply

Low Carb Baked Spaghetti Squash CasseroleLow Carb Spaghetti Squash Casserole is yet another way to use spaghetti squash.  As far as I am concerned you can just about put the kitchen sink into this dish.  These are not in the recipe but a cup or two of Caramelized Zucchini would be a terrific addition as well as a cup or two of sautéed caramelized eggplant.  Both are great low carb healthy extenders.

Notes
  1. Easily substitute kalamata olives for the black ones and this is actually what I do. I put black olives in the recipe because they are more readily available but pitted kalamatas, in my opinion, are much better.
  2. As I said above I think a cup or two of sautéed zucchini and/or sautéed eggplant would also be a terrific addition.
