Keto~LowCarb Crêpes

Low Carb Crepes

Low Carb Crepes. As we now well know, crêpes have become a thing not only for a fancy dessert or breakfast, they have also become mainstream for some pretty fancy dinners too. In the last 5-6 years there have been hundreds of créperies opened nationwide while people stand in line to eat in them. The wonderful thing about my low carb crêpes is they don’t cost an arm and a leg to eat.

Each of the keto low carb crepes recipes begin with a full recipe (12) of ZeroCarb Flaxseed Meal Crêpes and then the directions are for each of the fillings.  Some are savory for dinners and some are sweetened for desserts.  It is my opinion that after you have made the crêpes once or twice, you will come up with many more recipes of your own choosing. I have also just come up with a recipe for Keto Pork Rind Wraps and they work perfectly for any of the recipes below.

Low Carb Dinners

Low Carb DinnersLow Carb DinnersLow Carb DinnersLow Carb DinnersLow Carb Dinners. Whether you are preparing a dinner for yourself, your family, or guests, people are going to know you have fixed the food they have just partaken in and eaten was made with love. It would be impossible to eat any of these low carb dinners without the beginnings of a change in your health. If you will just try eating keto low carb for two weeks you will feel the changes taking effect and the longer you eat this way the better you will feel. The higher amounts of fat will get you to, and keep you with, a higher satiety level which will automatically keep you from eating more food that you need.

Keto~LowCarb Sauces & Dips

Low Carb Sauces & Dips

Low Carb Sauces & DipsLow Carb Sauces & DipsLow Carb Sauces & DipsLow Carb Sauces & DipsLow Carb Sauces & Dips.  A good low carb sauce and/or dip can, and usually does, make the difference between a good dinner and something spectacular. Think bearnaise or a compounded butter that you have gotten in a good restaurant. You know that “something” that makes you want to get back to the restaurant as soon as you can. That’s what a good sauce can do for food. To this day there are times I can remember exactly where I was when I had______and fill in the blank. Nine times out of 10 it was a sauce or perhaps a broth that knocked my socks off.

Low Carb Salads & DressingsLow Carb Salads & Dressings. I consider salads more of a catch all than anything else and for me it’s katy-bar-the-door when it comes to what I put into them and that can mean whatever you have in the fridge on any given day. I have been known to use a meat sauce as a dressing as well as dipping sauces. Low carb salads & dressings are kind of a catch all category and use dribs and drabs of things you have in the fridge.

Low Carb Soups

Low Carb SoupsLow Carb SoupsLow Carb SoupsLow Carb SoupsLow Carb Soups.  Soups of all kinds and that certainly includes many, many low carb soups that have been a staple in mankind’s foods for 1,000’s of years. Soups are ubiquitous in every corner of world. Used by the European peasants for a hearty lunch, used by shepherds to sustain themselves for weeks or months out in the cold and rain and a good hearty porridge for morning.  Worldwide there are probably more soups and stews eaten daily than any other forms of food.  As you read some of the stories in each recipe you will see that because I tend to use a lot heavy cream I often eat low carb soups for dinner and maybe along with a small salad I can call myself good to go.

Low Carb Appetizers

Have you every walked into a restaurant, looked at the list of appetizers and said WOW, these all look so good I could get several and make a meal out them? You are not alone and I have done it dozens of times.  A good example, at least in my list, might be Crispy Pork Belly, Lemon Bacon Scallops, and the Chinese BBQ Pork Loin. When in a restaurant you actually may only get a few succulent bites but at home you can eat as much of any of the low carb appetizers that you want so, have a good time, eat hearty, and eat healthy.

ZeroCarb Spicy Chinese Mustard

Leave a reply

ZeroCarb Spicy Chinese MustardZeroCarb Spicy Chinese MustardZeroCarb Spicy Chinese Mustard. Yes, this is a carb-free as in zerocarb spicy Chinese mustard. Be careful with this stuff as it is blow-your-brains-out spicy and then again, I’m guessing that’s why you are here.  If you are tired of the crap you get with Chinese takeout (if you even eat Chinese take out) then this super easy recipe is for you. If you are so inclined to sweeten it (no don’t) you can sweeten to taste. I would suggest the recipe for Chinese BBQ Pork be served with this but it is also good with sliced pork on a good Lowcarb Bread or even on pulled pork mixed with the juices.

Keto Sherry Wine Vinaigrette

Leave a reply

Keto Sherry Wine VinaigretteKeto Sherry Wine VinaigretteKeto Sherry Wine VinaigretteKeto Sherry Wine VinaigretteKeto Sherry Wine Vinaigrette. If you don’t know much about cooking or how to make a simple salad dressing,  you can make this. It is an easy emulsion dressing with all the flavor in the world and takes 10 minutes to do.  Keto sherry wine vinaigrette will need a bit of time to marry the flavors but that’s just time sitting on your kitchen counter and no, it does not need refrigeration and you can be doing other things while all this magic happens.

I have shown and used both the sherry and red wine vinegar because I think they make a good combo.  The sherry is much more mellow than any vinegar would be, but you also need a bit of vinegar for bite.  Wait until you taste this…you’ll see what I mean.

Keto Ranch Chicken Milanese

Leave a reply

Keto Ranch Chicken MilaneseKeto Ranch Chicken Milanese.  Don’t think for one minute that I don’t look at recipes on the internet because I do…and lots of them. Most don’t interest me much but I came upon a Ranch Milanese with radishes & cucumbers as garnish which sounded sort of interesting to me.  The problem with nearly every recipe are the attending carbs in flour, panko crumbs, etc. which we are not interested in so…I have changed the high carby ingredients and it actually sounds better and probably tastes better than the original.

Yes, I do have Maggi seasoning sauce and the original recipe says it can be swapped out with soy sauce.  There is a HUGH difference in flavors and I used the Maggi. You may have been lucky enough at some point in your life to have eaten Kewpie Mayo and it is my belief the Maggi sauce makes this taste like Kewpie mayo. I also always have Aleppo pepper, use it extensively, and suggest you might get a little to try. It is available from most any Middle Eastern grocery store.  I believe once you have tried it, you too will always want it around. If you look closely at the buttermilk (Bulgarian) it is 3.5% butterfat and thick as mud. It you drink buttermilk, it is absolutely divine. It’s a bit tangier than the regular old anemic stuff but in my opinion it’s so much better.  I then freeze it in 2 T cubes and have when needed. Sadly, I can no longer get this buttermilk but…I now have an even better substitute…powdered buttermilk and it is now reflected in the recipe.

You may have left over ranch dressing and we all know the things you can do with it like;  dress a salad, add some cheese and bacon to use as a dip with veggies, serve it with Buffalo Wings and…you can always have Keto Ranch Chicken Milanese again. It’s best to make and refrigerate your dressing the day before using to be sure your flavors are mixed, mellowed, and married and it should only take you no more than 5 minutes to make it. I did use radishes as I wanted to show off my watermelon radishes but they are not necessary and not in the recipe. The tang of the vinegar coupled with the cucumbers is however, essential to the overall flavor of the dish.

Keto Pork Rind Zucchini Latkes

Leave a reply

Keto Pork Rind Zucchini LatkesKeto Pork Rind Zucchini LatkesPork Rind Zucchini LatkesKeto Pork Rind Zucchini Latkes.  I was in the grocery store the other day and ended up buying a couple of zucchinis with nothing particular that I had in mind to do with them.  This is not necessarily a good way to buy food but um, I do it more often than from time to time.  I also had gotten a couple of jars of a new Pork Rind Crumbs from Netrition and I have been anxious to try them.  So, not having any idea how it would turn out but knowing it would be super easy, I decided to try making these.  Well Oh Lordy, besides being kind of pretty they are also so good.  I put the recipe for Asian Dipping Sauce with them, but they really do shine with a traditional dollop of sour cream.  They have a perfect pork flavor which is quite striking with the sour cream and just OK with the dipping sauce but neither has carbs to speak of so-your choice and either way, these keto pork rind zucchini latkes are the bomb.

Keto Mexican Chicken Drumsticks

Leave a reply

Keto Mexican Chicken DrumsticksKeto Mexican Chicken DrumsticksKeto Mexican Chicken Drumsticks.  I am going to state this right up front that these keto Mexican chicken drumsticks are carbfree, as in zerocarb.  No carbs in the Taco Seasoning, no carbs in the olive oil and no carbs in the chicken.  So have at it and eat as many as you want.  Now, I guess there may be <.5g in the lime juice if you use it but it’s optional anyway and if you like to dip you drumsticks in some kind of sauce I made mine with a little lebna, a little sour cream and yes, a little more taco seasoning to taste and it was delicious.  You may have a little taco seasoning left over so just put it in a jar and use if for next time.  If you like Fajitas you might use it for them and then maybe in a Spicy Taco Hamburger Bowl.  As/if you look at all these recipes, you will notice they are all very kid friendly too.

If drumsticks are your “shtick” you might end up anywhere in the world with Greek Drumsticks, Italian Drumsticks, or Asian Drumsticks.
