Low Carb Strawberry Orange Crêpes

Low Carb Strawberry Orange CrêpesLow Carb Strawberry Orange Crêpes.  You’ll not see the orange in these but you sure as heck will be able to taste it.  I love crêpes and in fact I am going to try to post maybe 18-20 recipes for them.  With the advent of my Zero Carb Flaxseed Meal Crêpes I can now have crêpes any which way but loose-and actually…loose too.  They can be savory as well as sweetened and yes, I like them both ways.  It’s always easier to start with the sweet stuff because it is what grabs peoples attention first but there really aren’t that many of them as most are savory and begin to think Enchiladas.  You know, I have to eat the recipes I test and I have to say, not only are these low carb strawberry orange crêpes easy to eat, they are also easy to make.

Keto Garlic Wings

Keto Garlic WingsKeto Garlic WingsKeto Garlic Wings. When I say GARLIC, I mean business and these wings are about as garlicky as it gets.  They are super simple to make but that is about where super simple stops. I have posted more than a couple of chicken wing recipes and all of them are really good but if you like garlic, and I do, then these keto garlic wings will work for you. Some others might be:  Spicy Korean Chicken Wings,  Sweet And Spicy Asian Chicken Wings, and the Buffalo Wings.

Keto Peruvian Green Sauce

Leave a reply

Low Carb Peruvian Green SauceLow Carb Peruvian Green SauceKeto Peruvian Green Sauce.  This sauce is ridiculously easy and fast to make-probably not more that 5-10 minutes but oh boy, the flavors.  Real Keto Peruvian Green Sauce may not have any cheese in it and if you don’t want it, don’t put it in.  This is best served with fish or chicken but it also makes a fabulous salad dressing and for the dressing the Parmesan cheese is a must. As you look at the nutritionals it is basically a free keto food as in ZeroCarb.

  1. If you are so inclined, this makes a really good dip with low carb veggies and can easily take the place of ranch dressing to dip wings into. As you can see, it is a very versatile sauce so go ahead and try it every which way but loose.
  2. If you are making this as a salad dressing the Parmesan cheese is pretty essential.

Low Carb Chicken Parmesan Over Sprouts

Leave a reply

Low Carb Chicken Parmesan Over SproutsLow Carb Chicken Parmesan Over SproutsLow Carb Chicken Parmesan Over Sprouts. A pretty study in the Italian flag colors of red, white, and green.  It is ridiculous that I have never posted a recipe for Chicken Parmesan but I am only human and as I was doing the Puttanesca Over Mung Bean Sprouts I realized instead of doing this over something like spaghetti squash why not also make a low carb chicken Parmesan over mung bean sprouts too. Heaven only knows how many recipes I have replaced flour using pork skins but this is at least the latest.  You need to trust me on this, fried pork skins keep EVERYTHING moist.  I have said I fry my own pellets but you can easily enough buy pork skins and even buy the ground Pork Dust here.  This is a very simple & easy recipe and I can’t imagine what the carb difference would be between real pasta and mung bean sprouts but I do know this, I can eat sprouts and I can’t eat pasta.

Keto Bean Sprouts Salad

Low Carb Mung Bean Sprouts SaladLow Carb Mung Bean Sprouts SaladKeto Bean Sprouts Salad.  What in heaven’s name do you do with a big ole bag of beautiful white mung bean sprouts when you have purchased them and only needed a small amount?  Most people let them sit in their refrigerator for 5-6 days while they turn to…but you don’t need to, not anymore.  This recipe goes right from fresh leftover sprouts to a warm side dish or a cold salad-your choice.  I think once you have had them you will be buying sprouts just to make this dish as it is that good.  You might call keto bean sprouts salad a little side dish of Asia.

If you end up making (and I recommend it) the Vietnamese Shrimp Bowl, you will have leftover sprouts and now you know how to use them.

Low Carb Vietnamese Shrimp Bowl

Leave a reply

Low Carb Vietnamese Shrimp BowlLow Carb Vietnamese Shrimp BowlLow Carb Vietnamese Shrimp Bowl.  I ended up making this with a bunch of leftovers and it was so good I decided to do a recipe with it.  I was originally going to use pulled pork in it but wondered how many people have pulled pork just hanging around so decided to leave it out, substituting avocado instead.  Everything else is pretty reasonably and easily gotten. We all do a little experimenting from time to time and of course, so do I.  The difference is, I have to eat what I make and if it’s not right I need to do it over…and eat it again so…I have included the pics from the first try as a wrap.

The wraps were so good…and so messy, that I redid it as a bowl.  I have also included a sketch I did to figure out the color scheme and where I wanted to place everything and as you can see, the pulled pork didn’t make the final cut. I rearranged things-again for the final picture.  Did I have trouble making and having to eat this again?  Nope. Not. At. All.  I used bibb lettuce for the wrap but since I always have bok choy (my lettuce of choice) I used it in the bowl.

It is now the dog days of August and though this Low Carb Vietnamese Shrimp Bowl is a perfect anytime dinner dish, you will not need to do any cooking except to do a quick blanch with the bean sprouts.  After eating?  You might think you just stepped out of a Vietnamese restaurant.

It’s just a list of ingredients and comes together very quickly.  You may have a little dressing left over but don’t worry, it would last a long time in the fridge and once you have eaten it, it would disappear very quickly.  Make no mistake, this is a complete and filling meal and if you want to make any substitutions please do, as this is cooking-not baking and a salad is always just a guide.  If you can’t get fresh mint then please try to include a little dried mint into the dressing as it enhances the flavors very well and kind of bring the whole bowl together.

So, what do you do with your leftover mung bean sprouts?  I have the answer :  Mung Bean Sprouts Salad served either warm as a vegetable or cold as a salad.

Keto Cinnamon Flan

Leave a reply

Low Carb Cinnamon FlanLow Carb Cinnamon FlanLow Carb Cinnamon FlanKeto Cinnamon Flan. I had a really hard time naming this concoction but finally came up with the word “Flan” because it has a sugar-free syrup served with it which is a little reminiscent of a real flan. Doesn’t really matter what you call it, it is delicious.  I can already think of a couple variations and one might be with raspberries and a couple of drops of almond extract as the two flavors go so well together.  Very, very easy to make.  Keto cinnamon flan can be eaten as breakfast or dinner, which I did with a sausage patty and small salad or just as a fabulous keto low carb dessert.  Anyway you cut it, it’s good, it’s easy and…your kids will love it.

This was a test cake that Sandra, a twitter friend, altered and made from this Flan recipe. I don’t have the information for everything she altered so I can’t put up a new recipe for you it but like WOW, it looks spectacular. It will never cease to amaze me how inventive people can be with their food.

I have started using Ceylon “True” Cinnamon and what a difference it makes.  I will be using the rest of the small bag and have purchased a one lb. bag which should last well beyond me and I am thinking of sharing it with someone I already have in mind.  Ceylon Cinnamon is kind of a taste altering experience if you have never had it, and I personally would never go back.  It is available on Amazon (not my favorite place to shop) as well as other places.  There is no mistaking it for regular cinnamon as it is MUCH lighter in color with a more subtle flavor. Recipes I have already used it in are the Carbalose Cinnamon Walnut Rolls but hey, I just got the stuff so give me a little time.

Keto Chicken Piccata

Leave a reply

Low Carb Chicken PiccataLow Carb Chicken PiccataKeto Chicken Piccata. You are looking at that very rare commodity known as a chicken tender.  They are pretty hard to find anymore as they command a higher price because of their uses in restaurants over the last 20 years.  My sweet little neighborhood Beaumont Market got a new (but actually retired) butcher and has decided to order them.  Yes, they are a little more expensive but in my world well worth it, because they are so easily portion controlled and how quickly they cook without drying out.  This can certainly also be made with juicy thigh meat but then you have dark meat.  I have made it known how much I prefer dark chicken meat over white but chicken tenders are a game changer.  I will purchase and eat these for as long as Jim continues to get and sell them and they are perfect for you and your kids fixed any number of ways including Crunchy Deep Fried Chicken Chips. Pretty much everybody knows how much kids like the crummy McNuggets served by McDonald’s but my keto chicken piccata are a terrific healthy alternative.

Low Carb Beef And Daikon Radish Soup

Leave a reply

Low Carb Beef And Daikon Radish SoupLow Carb Beef And Daikon Radish SoupLow Carb Beef And Daikon Radish SoupLow Carb Beef And Daikon Radish SoupLow Carb Beef And Daikon Radish Soup. Having worked in and having had restaurants, one of the staple soups has always been beef and macaroni.  Not anymore.  Soups can be just as flavorful and full of low carb goodness without potatoes or macaroni or any other high carby vegetable for that matter.  Trust me as I have now eaten low carb for 8 years. Over those years I have come to realize that daikon radish is the perfect substitute for potatoes.  It has its own very mild flavor but totally loses it when cooked and added to other flavors and this low carb beef and daikon radish soup is a perfect example.  I have used celery root, and lots of other things in place of potatoes and daikon radish now remains at the top of my list.  It is good for crudités, soups of all kinds, it can be roasted, and used in stews.  Soooo…this is my ode to daikon radish, and may all you low carbers everywhere use it prodigiously.  You don’t need a thickener for every soup and this is one of them-just filled with good stuff.  There is a kind of secret ingredient and…it’s the Lawry’s Seasoned Salt so, if possible please use it.  I left  some of the cheese off so you see a bit of what the soup looks like.  Now, I can’t make a daikon radish look like macaroni and that’s a fact but-I can make a soup taste so you’ll never miss that macaroni.

It is fabulous and will enhance nearly anything you can imagine.  Now I have used Pistol River Porcini Dust forever and it is in a lot of my recipes but with the addition of ground fermented black beans it is a powerhouse of flavor like no other and I’m rather surprised McCormick’s or some other spice company has not come out with something similar because it is so easy.  Two lousy ingredients of pure umami.  You can use it to jazz up soups, sprinkle it on salads and dress meats with it and just the smell is enough to give you inspiration.  Since I just came up with the idea the only other recipe I have done thus far is Umami Mayo which can be used as a dip with Fried Pork Skins or low carb crudité veggies. To read more regarding what umami is, please see the Umami Mayo recipe as I describe it more in detail there along with my take on MSG which is something I do not use but only for reasons explained there-it is a good short read. You will also see the ground ferment beans (and not porcini dust) in the recipe for Hoisin Sauce which is then used to make Peking Duck so you may as well grind extra beans if you plan to use hoisin sauce and I do use it in small quantities in several other recipes including the recently added Kung Pao Riced Cauliflower.  That little container you see in the picture probably has about ½ cup and I keep it in the freezer until I need a little more.

Umami Powder
Print
Ingredients
  1. 3 T Porcini Powder
  2. 3 T Ground Salted Fermented Black Beans Powder
Grinding The Fermented Black Beans
  1. Smash beans on the counter, transfer them to spice grinder, and add porcini powder.
  2. Begin pulsing and then grind until it all turns to a powder. The longer you grind, the lighter in color it becomes. The beans are black to start and end up a beautiful mahogany brown when finished.
  3. 6 Servings
  4. 0 Calories, 0.0g Protein, 0.0g Fat, 0.0g Carbs, 0.0g Fiber, 0.0g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. This is made with 3 T each ingredient, is used 1 teaspoon at a time which, and is then, ready to be used as wanted. The recipe is always equal parts each ingredient.
  2. You can very easily grind your own dried porcini mushrooms or...buy the dust from Pistol River Mushrooms here in Oregon.
  3. Since I came up with this myself I am afraid you cannot find ground fermented black bean powder. I did find some stuff on amazon but the color was so light it didn't seem like the same product. I know the product is available somewhere because it is called mejugaru and used to make Korean gochujang and also goes by the name Fermented Soy Bean Flour and not to be confused with Soy Flour. Since I use the beans for other thing I just ground it myself and you are certainly welcome to search it further on the internet.
  4. It must have something in the way of nutritionals but the amounts are so small they don't register so this is definitely a zero carb recipe.
  5. Can you add any other spices? Of course you can-anything you want.
  6. This is not necessarily a salt replacement although the black beans are fermented with salt so go easy on the salt until you know.
  7. To my tastes it seems mildly sweet with of course no sweetener of any kind in it.

Low Carb Vietnamese Fish Dipping Sauce

Low Carb Vietnamese Fish Dipping SauceLow Carb Vietnamese Fish Dipping SauceLow Carb Vietnamese Fish Dipping SauceLow Carb Vietnamese Fish Dipping SauceLow Carb Vietnamese Fish Dipping Sauce.  Sometimes I like to make a sauce that is multi-functional and this sauce is one of those times.  I first used it as a salad dressing for Vietnamese Shrimp Salad and then realized it was also good to dip other foods into.  It is not thick so it will just give a nice coating on whatever you dip into it.  Don’t be surprised when the flavor knocks you off your feet because as with all things fish saucy, this does it too.  Because I first did it as a salad dressing with shrimp, shrimp is the first thing that came to my dippy mind and of course any kind of vegetable or other meats would work as well.  This is very, very easy to put together. Pictured are a plain salad and the salad as a dinner I had last night…with shrimp.  I haven’t done it yet but I’m thinking over a piece of good fish would be dandy too. Low carb Vietnamese fish dipping sauce had a terrific tasty punch.
