Low Carb Bacon Almond Avocado Salad

Leave a reply

Low Carb Bacon Almond Avocado SaladLow Carb Bacon Almond Avocado Salad. Another terrific salad, this time from my friend Carole. She has actually given me several recipes over the months as she and her husband eat a lot of salad, and I mean a lot of salad. They are confessed saladholics. How that for a word? It shows up as misspelled and I’m still using it. Anyway, as I pretty much do, I changed it to my own suiting, it’s paleo, and I hope you like this low carb bacon almond avocado salad. The slivered almonds were toasted in duck fat because…I just happened to have some so, there are two fats instead of just the bacon fat.

Keto Creamed Firecracker ShrimpKeto Creamed Firecracker ShrimpKeto Creamed Firecracker ShrimpKeto Creamed Firecracker Shrimp. In the good old days I used to sop the heavy cream in Creamed Firecracker Shrimp gravy with tons of buttered French bread but that was then and this is now. This is a very easy recipe and can be finished to table in about 30 minutes assuming you have already prepared your spaghetti squash.   Keto creamed firecracker shrimp is also divine served over buttered spinach or kale.

Low Carb Cauliflower Tabbouleh

Leave a reply

Low Carb Cauliflower TabboulehLow Carb Cauliflower Tabbouleh. Traditional tabbouleh is actually kind of an herb salad with not so much bulgur and as we Americans have made it, it now does not really resemble any true Middle Eastern versions. But hey, now here’s the deal. I am an American and this is closer to our version than theirs. Anyway, the idea is eat a good tasting clean salad and this is that. Any and all of the ingredients may be changed.  By the time you are finished with this dish you may not even recognize it as cauliflower. There are so many other compatible flavors which when blended, make this one tasty side salad and as I know low carb cauliflower tabbouleh, this will be far healthier than the boxed stuff we are all familiar with.  As I said, it is not a “wheat salad”  it is a low carb cauliflower tabbouleh herb salad with a little “cauliflower bulgur” in it.

If you are so inclined, and for more wonderful tabbouleh recipes that you can healthify with cauliflower for yourself, here is a list of them and in fact my recipe seems closely related to The Greek Island Tabbouleh

Cauliflower Tabbouleh

Ingredients
  1. 4 C Blanched, Drained, Cooled & Riced Cauliflower (Always Include The Core)
  2. 1 C Peeled, De-Seeded And Chopped Cucumber
  3. ¾ C Chopped Mint Leaves (Spearmint) (Or 3-4T Dried Mint)
  4. ½ C Chopped Curly Leaf Parsley
  5. ½ C Pitted And Chopped Kalamata Olives
  6. ½ C Finely Chopped Orange Peppers, Yellow Peppers, Or Both
  7. ⅓ C Thinly Cut Green Onion Tops
  8. ⅓ C Quartered Cherry Tomatoes
  9. ⅓ C Finely Chopped Red Onion
  10. ¼ C Olive Oil
  11. ¼ C Lemon Juice
  12. ½ t Crushed Garlic (Optional)
  13. 1 t Apple Cider Vinegar (Or Red Wine Vinegar)
  14. ¼ t Allspice
  15. ½ t Pepper
  16. 1 t Salt (For Later)
Instructions
  1. Blend first 9 ingredients in large bowl.
  2. In a smaller bowl mix next 6 ingredients and blend into vegetables.
  3. May be refrigerated* or served immediately.
  4. Just before you are ready to serve your tabbouleh sprinkle and mix in the salt or better yet let people do it themselves. Not all, but most of the veggies will weep anyway and if you salt and then refrigerate you will have even more. Now this is not necessarily bad, it just is. Salt leaches out liquids plain & simple. If you end up with weepy tabbouleh even without salt, just drain it.

Ingredients
  1. 2 C Finely Shredded Zucchini
  2. 2 T Finely Minced Green Onions
  3. 2 T Grated Onion
  4. 1 Beaten Egg
  5. ¼ C Parmesan Cheese
  6. ¼ t Crushed Garlic

  11. NO SALT Until After Cooking
  12. Freshly Ground Pepper
Instructions
  1. Mix first 6 ingredients & heat oil.
  2. If you don’t 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.
  3. Using your trusty #30 2 T scoop put 4 blobs in oil and gently pat down.
  4. Fry until crispy brown, turn, & repeat.
  5. NOW you can salt them.
  6. Mix sour cream & dill, and garnish each latke.

Notes
  1. The Parmesan cheese already has salt in it and too much salt will make the zucchini "weep" as you are waiting to do your second 4 latkes. Once they are cooked you are safe to salt as necessary.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
