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.

  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.

Low Carb Caramelized Zucchini

Leave a reply

Low Carb Caramelized ZucchiniLow Carb Caramelized ZucchiniLow Carb Caramelized Zucchini. Sounds kind of strange doesn’t it?  Caramelized vegetables?  We think of caramelized onions or sugar easily enough, but not most other veggies. No, not lettuce silly, but seriously you can cook a lot of vegetables this way.  All vegetables have some carbs and since carbs are starch/sugar you can caramelized some of them.  What you are doing is “burning” their sugar.  Caramelization=flavor & taste.  This is so easy you will wonder why you never thought of it and this is how it came to me.  Yes, another happy mistake.  I was making Ratatouille one Sunday.  I was on the internet (probably lost in space working on another recipe) and I thought I had “burned” the eggplant during the “browning” process. I think I said (yelled) something like “oh crud”.  My husband called out from the living room and said why?  Men don’t like you burning their food so I probably answered something like “oh nothing”.  When I finished with it, I tasted it and it was really good, and I mean really, really good.  We loved it and now I often fix it just by itself with a little salt & pepper and maybe a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.  My next experiment was zucchini and voilà same thing.  Recipe is for low carb caramelized zucchini and just do the same thing with eggplant.

Figure one small to medium zucchini per person or one medium eggplant for two-three people because as they cook they also lose their moisture and shrink. So stay with it and even though you think you are burning them you are not.  Have faith and your time will be well rewarded. Once finished, it’s katy-bar-the-door with its versatility and you can spice it to your hearts content.

The absolute secret to this is maintaining a medium-high heat, don’t mess with them until they have begun to brown and then stick with it until they are just this side of “blackened”.  They may go through a kind of “mushy stage” if you don’t keep up the heat so at this point don’t mess with em.

Low Carb Creamed Shrimp & Spaghetti SquashLow Carb Creamed Shrimp & Spaghetti Squash.

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.

  4. ¾ Lb Ground Pork Sausage
  5. 1 Can Small Dice Tomatoes (Crushed Works)

  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.

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.

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.

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.

Notes
  1. Don’t worry if you have leftovers. Just reheat, add a couple eggs on top and eat for breakfast.
