Low Carb Creamed Shrimp & Spaghetti Squash

Low Carb Creamed Shrimp & Spaghetti SquashLow Carb Creamed Shrimp & Spaghetti Squash. One of the things I like about spaghetti squash (and there are many) is its versatility so here is another recipe using it. Here is another Creamed Chicken & Spaghetti Squash Bake and another Spaghetti Squash Carbonara and another Spaghetti Squash Pastitsio and another Stuffed Red Peppers I hope at least one of these trips your trigger. This meal is about all you need with the exception of a salad and maybe a very small dessert.

Keto Carpaccio

Leave a reply

Keto Carpaccio Low Carb CarpaccioLow Carb CarpaccioKeto CarpaccioKeto Carpaccio.  Another food gift from the gods.  Traditional Carpaccio is made with raw beef tenderloin and if that makes you queasy then I am sorry and this is not for you.  I have seen restaurants and recipes that say to sear the tenderloin before slicing which to my mind seems counterproductive to paper thin pieces of beef.  Once beef is cooked, even the slightest bit, it cannot be pounded and keep any of its integrity around the edges. It is far easier to slice after having been in the freezer an hour or so.

There are a million ways (not really) to dress a Keto Carpaccio and simple is best. You are featuring the best cut of the cow so don’t bury it.  It only begs to be highlighted. Arugula is the garnish greens of choice and if it tastes bitter to you (it does to me) then by all means top with a spring mix. Steve Cooksey @diabeteswarrior would probably go out & pick wild field greens.

OK, who doesn’t like a challenge? Steve just tweeted me about using rendered tallow in place of the mayo. I have said several times that I do render my own so I marched into the kitchen and made it with the beef fat. Taste was not the problem-it was good-but that part in the recipe about keeping the dressing chilled? Not so good. It began to harden in a minute or so and 10 minutes in, it was pretty solid. So all you purists out there? Please feel free to use tallow. Me, I’ll stick with the measly amount of mayo.

Low Carb Stuffed Red Peppers.  Who needs rice in Stuffed Red Peppers? Well, we don’t. These are oozy goozy with cheese and yep, no rice and no bitterness from green peppers. And hey, these don’t need to cook forever because of that no rice business. Now if you want to be fancy dancy with these, save the pepper tops and serve them half cocked on the top.  Low carb stuffed red peppers are particular good served with Tomato Basil Cream.

Stuffed Red Peppers
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 Small Spaghetti Squash-This Is Your Rice (You Only Need About 2 Cups)
  2. 6-8 Very Large Red, Yellow, Or Orange Bell Peppers (Or Mix Em Up)
  3. ¾ Lb 20% Ground Beef
  4. ¾ Lb Ground Pork Sausage
  5. 1 Can Small Dice Tomatoes (Crushed Works)
  6. 1 Small Dice Medium Onion
  7. 1 T Crushed Garlic
  8. 1 Beaten Egg
  9. 1½ C Full Fat Mozzarella Cheese (Divided) (Or Your Own Favorite)
  10. ½ C Carbalose Bread Crumbs (Optional) And It Soaks Up Some Of The Juices
  11. ½ C Cooked Finely Chopped Spinach Squeezed Dry (Optional But Pretty)
  12. ¼ C Parmesan Cheese
  13. ¼ C Parmesan Cheese (Yes Another)
  14. 1½ t Salt
  15. 1 t Pepper
  16. ¼ t Dried Oregano
  17. ¼ t Ground Fennel (Optional) This Is The Same Spice You Taste In Pizza Sausage
Instructions
  1. Bake spaghetti squash, cut in half, scoop out seeds, and with a fork pull out spaghetti strands. Chop 2 cups into shorter strands and put in large mixing bowl.
  2. Cut off top of peppers and de-seed or you may also cut the peppers in half and serve 2 halves.
  3. Cook peppers in simmering water for 4-6 minutes. You want them just beginning to be tender.
  4. Cook sausage, beef and onions until barely pink, add garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and fennel, finish cooking meat and add to bowl keeping any fat.
  5. Add egg, spinach, 1 C mozzarella cheese, (bread crumbs if using), tomatoes, ¼ cup Parmesan cheese to bowl and mix thoroughly.

Notes
  1. If it looks like you are going to end up with too much filling it is best to cut the peppers in half cause you can "mound" them better this way.
  2. This could make a terrific appetizer if you used "mini peppers". I understand there are about 21-22 peppers to a bag which means 42 halves and these would be very good served with a light tomato basil cream. I have no idea how many small peppers you could stuff with the filling but hey, you could always just eat the ones you have left.
  3. I have never frozen stuffed peppers but I understand they can be so you might want to make a ton of them to have some ready made-ahead meals.
  4. Nutritionals include all ingredients so omitting some with reduce the counts.
  5. Fried Cauliflower rice can sit it for the spaghetti squash.

Low Carb Creamy Chicken & Dumplings

4 Replies

Low Carb Creamy Chicken & DumplingsLow Carb Creamy Chicken & DumplingsLow Carb Creamy Chicken & Dumplings could be called the #1 comfort food in this country (or not depending on which part of the country you are from).  I grew up in Northwest Ohio and remember my mom fixing this for us and we loved, loved, loved it.  We are going to take the basic Spaetzle noodles recipe, doctor it up a bit & continue from there. I think you will agree that this is one good, satisfying, and filling meal.  If you poach your own chicken you will have stock to make your dumplings. They swell with the cooking and are much tastier done in chicken stock (and the fat) than plain ole water.  I have tried to show the scoop I used and how the dumplings swell after poaching.  Want to have something with just plain dumplings? Try them smothered in Basic Cream Gravy or Primal Keto Gravy. Holy Cow Batman.

  2. Blend first 6 ingredients.
  3. Beat eggs.
  4. Mix hot water & Sucralose, add chicken base until dissolved, add to eggs and beat, add heavy cream and mix. Add to dry ingredients and beat until smooth.
  5. Using a two teaspoon scoop (about the size of a small melon baller #100 size scoop) drop dough into water (don't crowd) and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until they are no longer doughy.
  6. Drain and repeat until all dough is used.
  7. You should get about 32-34 good size dumplings. (About 1-1½” in diameter)

Notes
  1. Nutritionals include dumplings.
  2. If using a commercial chicken stock only add chicken base to taste as the stock will probably have lots of salt.
  3. Now that you have the basic recipe you can delete and/or insert you own herbs to suit your tastes.
  4. And oh yeah, leftover frozen turkey works just as well for this dish.
  5. If you poach and pull 2-3 chickens at once you will save a lot of time when next you want to make this or any other dish calling for pulled chicken.
  6. OXO makes a 3 scoop set and the smallest is 2 t. It is not the one I have but this set might be worth owning.

Low Carb Cocktail SauceLow Carb Cocktail SauceLow Carb Cocktail SauceLow Carb Cocktail SauceThis no guilt Keto Cocktail Sauce goes together in about 2 minutes.  I have no idea how only four puny ingredients can have as much flavor as this does-but the proof in in the tasting. Many of my recipes, while easy enough, have a list of ingredients a mile long.  Put baby bay shrimp on a block of cream cheese and pour this over it.  Whew dogie.  Halve an avocado, fill with bay shrimp and drizzle this on it, same with a tomato, or boil yourself some big shrimp & wallow it in the sauce, mix with tuna fish instead of plain ole mayo. Endless possibilities with keto cocktail sauce. Yeah, it’s good on Crab Cakes too.

Low Carb Carrot Zucchini Cake Cream Cheese Frosting

Low Carb Carrot Zucchini Cake Cream Cheese FrostingLow Carb Carrot Zucchini Cake Cream Cheese Frosting. Moist sweet carrot cake is certainly something I remember from childhood (as the girl I had to grate the carrots) but uh, I can’t eat that stuff anymore and this is my low carb version.

Shredded Smedded. Carrots or zucchini? Why not use both? Well, this does that and yes, as far as I am concerned it would not be carrot cake without cream cheese frosting so I pile it on.

If you prefer pecans then substitute them and what the hell you can also mix them. The debate will rage on no matter which you use. I did not grow up in the South and my preference remains walnuts.

Wanna see something kinda sick? Take a look at this recipe from The Eating Well Diabetes Cookbook (2005)  http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/carrot_cake.html What the hell and OMG. Says 43g carbohydrates or 3 carbohydrate servings-whatever that is.  And this is only the dessert?  Are you kidding me?  With direction like this from the ADA we got a long way to go folks and uh yeah, I stole their picture cause they should be ashamed of themselves.

Keto Tiramisu Torta

5 Replies

Keto Tiramisu TortaKeto Tiramisu Torta. With my chefy background I went into the kitchen one Sunday with the express intent of making this Keto Tiramisu Torta. It has been on my mind for a while but until I got the crepes posted I couldn’t try the recipe. Tiramisu (the high carby version) had long been a favorite dessert of mine and I have not eaten it in years. There are times in our lives that call for a punt and this keto tiramisu torta dessert is one of them. We don’t eat lady fingers and we don’t eat sugar but we can still love tiramisu so…we are punting.  Since tiramisu calls for ladyfingers dipped into coffee we are going to put the coffee into the Flaxseed Meal Crêpes and you will need one recipe (12) of these. If you are interested in a higher protein Keto Tiramisu Torta then it can be made with Keto Pork Rind Wraps without changing the carb counts. This is so spot on and I guarantee you will love it.

The picture is not mine but this is exactly what it looks like. Many thanks to Chef Francisco Migoya, professor at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY.  When cut, you will see 12 delicately darkened crêpes between beautiful layers of espresso Zabaglione. I’m saying it again here folks, you can do most anything with the basic crêpe recipe.  If you don’t want to go to the trouble of making the torta (and it is very easily assembled) then just stuff and roll your crepes and call it good to go. Not as pretty but just as tasty.  This low carb tiramisu torta is one of the lowest carb desserts on the site.

  1. 1 Recipe Flaxseed Meal Crepes
  2. 8 Drops Liquid Sucralose
  3. 2 t Espresso Powder
  4. 5 Egg Yolks
  5. ½ C Allulose
  6. ¼ C Sweet Marsala
  7. 8 Oz Softened Cream Cheese
  8. ½ C Heavy Cream Whipped
  9. 4 Drops Liquid Sucralose
  10. 1½ t Espresso Powder
  11. 1 t Vanilla Extract
  12. 1 t Sifted Cocoa Powder
Instructions
  1. To your basic Flaxseed Meal Crêpes you are going to add 8 drops of liquid Sucralose and 2 t espresso powder then proceed to make the crêpes.
  2. Beat egg yolks, allulose, & Marsala in medium metal bowl and put over very low heat beating constantly until thickened and nearly double in volume. This is basically a zabaglione. Remove from heat, keep beating until cooled a bit, and add to whipped & softened cream cheese. I use my mixer on low.
  3. Whip heavy cream. Add vanilla, sucralose, and espresso powder and whip a bit more.
  4. Blend whipped cream & cream cheese mixture making sure it is thoroughly combined.
  5. Place first crêpe on a 7"-8” plate. Spread thin layer of mixture to cover crêpe.
  6. Put another crêpe on top & repeat until finished.
  7. If you have enough filling put it around the sides to encase it.
  8. Gently sift cocoa powder over top.
  9. Cover with a large mixing bowl and refrigerate at least 6 hours and overnight is even better as all flavors will mellow.
  10. Nutritionals include crêpes.

Notes
  1. Though this is an extremely low carb dessert I think you will also find it very rich. I suggest you cut this into 10 servings and if you seriously can eat more of it then do so...or...cut it in half and cut half into 5 pieces to see if you think it's enough and if not cut the other half into 4 portions.

Low Carb Asian Dipping Sauce

Low Carb Asian Dipping SauceLow Carb Asian Dipping SaucePretty sure this Low Carb Asian Dipping Sauce is the easiest, low carb recipe on the site. It may be easy but it packs a ton of flavor and is used to dress the Crab Rangoon Bundles. It is what makes the Asian Stir Fry and thickened just a bit (or not) the Bacon Wrapped Shrimp is delicious dipped in it. Cook up a mess of mushrooms and drizzle low carb Asian dipping sauce on ’em?  Oh Yeah and don’t forget the pork tenderloin.

Keto Crab Rangoon

2 Replies

Low Carb Crab RangoonKeto Crab Rangoon. I used to make Crab Rangoon Bundles with wonton wrappers, fried in some crummy seed oil & served with some super sweet concoction.  Well, those were the days my friends, we thought they’d never end; we’d sing and dance forever and a day. …and those days?…they did end. I still sing and dance but to a different tune and…this keto crab rangoon is a pretty terrific substitute. Certainly this is not traditional Crab Rangoon, only different, and really so much better and healthier.  You will need one recipe of either Flaxseed Meal Crêpes or Pork Rind Wraps.

Notes
  1. If serving to guests & you have access to long enough green onions cut twelve, put them in boiling water a few seconds to make them soft and tie around each crêpe. It makes a pretty presentation. If you can't get long enough green onions cut them as long as you can, cut each in half and drape an X across the top of each one.
  2. Nutritionals include crêpes.
  3. Crab Rangoon is very good served with a sweet sauce so if you want your Asian drizzle a bit sweeter add 1-2 T Allulose, a couple drops of liquid Sucalose or sweetener of choice.
  4. I know crab meat is very expensive. (I get dungeness here on the left coast) and canned would be good as well as also using cooked ground shrimp.
