Low Carb Southern Fried Chicken

5 Replies

Low Carb Southern Fried ChickenLow Carb Southern Fried ChickenLow Carb Southern Fried Chicken. This is a take on the way a great aunt of mine made Southern Fried Chicken. As a kid in the early 50’s my family traveled by car to Florida every December and my Aunt Evelyn fried several chickens for us to eat on the journey. This is that recipe minus flour.  Just look at all that crisp golden brown deliciousness and not a fleck of flour to be seen.

Enhanced Chicken

Please, please, please make sure you use chicken that has not been injected or “enhanced” with some chemically-saltwater concoction because the crap they inject into chicken is one of the dirty little secrets the poultry industry uses to up the weight of chicken. (and yes, by as much as 15%) When moisture hits hot grease it spatters like crazy. This practice is called ‘enhancing’ or ‘plumping’. Enhanced-Plumped? The only thing being enhanced and plumped are the pocketbooks of the chicken producers.  I don’t think I want my chicken ‘enhanced’ in any way, shape, or form. I do not even rinse my chicken. Because it is cooked, there is no reason to rinse it. Ever notice all the liquid in packaged chicken? It has its own name-purge…and yuck…I hate it. Cut chicken pieces have that soak-up liner at the bottom? It soaks up the purge so you won’t notice it. A real non-injected chicken has virtually no purge and this is what you are looking for. And the term “All Natural”? Means absolutely nothing and don’t fall for it.  Chicken is a subject very near and dear to my heart. And if you wanted saltwater? Uh, it’s easy to make your own and way less expensive than whatever the prevailing price of chicken. Yes, you can have a good keto low carb southern fried chicken.

Purdue?-No. Foster Farms?-No. Pilgrims Pride?-No. Sanderson Farms?-No. Tyson?-Hell No. If you can, please, get to know your chicken farmer. It’s that important.

This is one of a trio (now 4) of recipes for a terrific low carb picnic winter/summer indoors or out.  The other two companion recipes are Guacamole Egg Bombs & Macaroni Salad. I have now added a terrific Radish Potato Salad which of course is always perfect with any picnic.

Now you can have a complete guilt-free meal with a measly 10g net carbs. Not too shabby for a totally fill yourself up meal.

Keto Swiss Cream Steak

Leave a reply

Low Carb Swiss Cream SteakLow Carb Swiss Cream SteakLow Carb Swiss Cream SteakKeto Swiss Cream Steak. The recipe for this is taken from the American Heritage Cookbook 1969 Edition and my husband actually introduced it to me. It was love at first bite. There are lots of recipes on the internet using (ugh) cream of mushroom soup with various other ingredients but this is (almost) the original in that all I did was cut out the dredging in flour part. I don’t think mushrooms would be a bad addition, but anything other than mushrooms or daikon radishes would not work for me. Keto swiss cream steak is great over mashed cauliflower, spaghetti squash (shown) or Cauliflower Grits. Super simple and needs no tending until ready to serve.

Some Primal Some Paleo

some primal some paleoI have been thinking for a while now about the fact that many of my recipes are very nearly Paleo which can then sometimes make them Primal so I have decided to list some of them here. Many Paleo Lifestylers eat some dairy, some are 80/20, and some even use lowcarb sweeteners especially, if diabetic.

For most, Paleo is a lifestyle and not necessarily to be followed by someone else’s exacting dogma.

Some recipes have a bit of sour cream, some use Just Like Sugar©, some have Sucralose©, some use combinations and it is easy to substitute one sweetener for another if you don’t like what I use. One of the things I have found to be true for myself is that using several different  sweeteners give a better depth of flavor.  This way, if you want to expand your Paleo recipe repertoire you can use these and make changes as you wish.

Jane Barthelemy author of Paleo Desserts says Just Like Sugar© is her favorite lowcarb sweetener, uses it extensively in her book recipes, and believes the health effects are unique among sweeteners as a pre-biotic (inulin) that promotes healthy intestinal flora and I totally agree with her and to read her entire take on Just Like Sugar© please see further here: http://janeshealthykitchen.com/my-trip-to-the-just-like-sugar-factory/#.U9amo6PQq1g

So…this is just an experiment and I would love for you to make Comments on any particular recipe, whether you liked it…or not…and why.  If heavy cream, cheeses, and some alternative sweeteners are in your list of “sometime eats” then these recipes can be eaten “sometimes”.  As a diabetic, I would not have much left to eat if it were not for “sometime” foods.

Given up keeping this page current.  Way too many recipes & there are paleo people who eat some primal foods.  You will just have to peruse the site and find what’s right for you.

Low Carb Ginger Curried Zucchini Soup

Leave a reply

Ginger Curried Zucchini SoupLow Carb Ginger Curried Zucchini Soup is one bowl of spicy goodness. Ginger and curry are a spice marriage made in heaven and as far as I am concerned this soup captures it nicely.  Oh, for the good ole days when I could eat regular bread but alas they are gone and I will say a thick piece of Carbalose Flour Bread slathered with butter and dredged in the soup works pretty darned well.

Did you know that originally there really was no such thing as curry powder? Foods were “curried” which meant any particular dish was treated differently with different spices being put together. The word “curry” is a recent westernized word.

These are the many spices that a woman might draw upon for her own “special” curry and the spices changed depending what she was currying.  Coriander Seeds, Cumin Seeds, Fenugreek Seeds, Turmeric, Cloves, Garlic , Curry Leaves, Fennel Seeds, Ginger, Chillies, Mustard, Red Pepper, Salt, Cassia, Black Pepper, Poppy Seeds, Anise, Bengal Gram, Cardamom, Cassia buds, Celery Seed, Cinnamon,Dill Seed, Mace, Nagkeser, Nutmeg, Onion, Trifala, & White Pepper.  With all that said, I use ‘regular old curry powder’ and what a bag of wind I am.

Keto Tzatziki

1 Reply

Low Carb TzatzikiLow Carb TzatzikiKeto Tzatziki. The word ‘Tzatziki’ refers to a sauce that often is used in the preparation of the Greek meat dishes ‘gyros’ Pulled Pork Gyros and ‘souvlaki’. It’s made of strained yogurt from the milk of goats or sheep, salt, garlic, and cucumbers. Dill, lemon juice, and pepper are usually added and then sometimes, mint or parsley. Because of the presence of cucumbers, keto tzatziki is often called cucumber sauce in English-speaking countries. Within Greece, the sauce also is called ‘tarator’, from the Sephardic Jewish word. The Greek word actually comes from the Turkish word ‘cacik’, which means ‘chutney’ and the sauce is used in the cuisines of countries other than Greece. Indeed, its use ranges from Bulgaria and Macedonia; to the Caucasus; and into Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq.  This info is taken from Wiki.answers…and who knew?

Labneh, Lebni, or Labne is a soft yogurt cheese.  It doesn’t matter how you say it or how you spell it, what really matters is that keto tzatziki is good and it is that-very good.  In the Middle East Labneh is traditionally served drizzled with olive oil, maybe some lemon juice, accompanied by Kalamata olives, and is most definitely not sweetened. Many times the dish is quite artfully presented. And…Chobani?…IS NOT strained Greek yogurt by any stretch of the imagination. Karoun is the brand I use or…you can make my recipe for Real Greek Yogurt

Tzatziki
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 C Strained Greek Yogurt (Labneh-Lebna-Labne)
  2. 1 C Diced Cucumber (About ½ One Large)
  3. ¾ t Dried Dill
  4. 1½ T Lemon Juice
  5. 1 t Crushed Garlic
  6. ½ t Salt
  7. ¼ t Pepper
Instructions
  1. Peel, cut cucumber in half, scoop out the seeds, roughly chop, and process until you have very tiny pieces kind of a sludge, but not pureed.
  2. Ditch the cucumber juice by squeezing as much out as you can then combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, taste, and correct seasoning.
  3. You may serve this immediately but it is better after being in the refrigerator for a day. It should easily last 4-5 days-if it lasts at all after you get into it.
  4. 8 Servings
  5. 42 Calories, 1.1g Protein, 3.5g Fat 1.7g Carbs, 0.1g Fiber, 1.6g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. Karoun is the only brand I use unless I make my own and the nutritionals reflect this yogurt.
  2. If you opt to use regular ole Greek yogurt and not Labne it will turn watery from the whey escaping the yogurt. No problem, it is higher carb and please, just be aware of it.
  3. You can add ½ t of mint if wanted, it's what you see sprinkled on the top and it is especially good served with lamb.
  4. Serve with red, orange, or yellow pepper chips, cucumber coins, along with snow peas to keep it low carb.
  5. This is also very good served to the side with a sautéed chicken breast or a jillion other foods.
  6. Recipe may easily be doubled.

Low Carb Panna Cotta

Low Carb Panna CottaLow Carb Panna CottaLow Carb Panna Cotta.  What to say about this Panna Cotta? It is delicious, low carb-zero carb keto and extremely high fat. At least my version is.  I have a few relatively complicated recipes on the site and I do think this is by far the easiest one to make.  This recipe for low carb panna cotta may easily be cut in half to 4 servings. If you prefer a bit fancier low carb panna cotta you may like the Melba Panna Cotta which makes a beautiful dessert for dinner guests.

Low Carb Gazpacho

Leave a reply

Low Carb GazpachoLow Carb Gazpacho. I call this the “Cheater’s Version” Gazpacho as my base starts with spicy V-8 juice. This soup was originally a peasant concoction made simply with mashed bread, vegetables, and tomatoes, originating in the southern Andalusia region of Spain. Gazpacho has been described as a soup-salad or liquid salad and is the quintessential hot summer day lunch or accompaniment. It’s spicy, hearty, healthy, good-and oh yeah, it also makes a pretty kick butt salsa.

Low Carb Cobb Salad

Leave a reply

Low Carb Cobb SaladLow Carb Cobb SaladLow Carb Cobb Salad. I found this somewhere on the internet-a way to remember the components of Cobb Salad. Use the mnemonic EAT COBB: Egg, Avocado, Tomato, Chicken, Onion, Bacon, Bleu Cheese. Low carb Cobb salad is a very simple and elegant salad to serve as a lunch or a main dinner entrée. I served this in the restaurant to rave reviews.

There are a lot of arrangements so just pick your favorite. The ideal is to have a different flavor or combination of flavors with each bite of salad.  I served mine with Caesar Dressing (traditional) and you can serve it with your own favorite.  If you are inclined to Caesar then my recipe is here: Caesar Salad Dressing and Briannas Asiago Caesar Salad Dressing makes what I call the best prepared Caesar dressing. As you can see from the second picture it can also be served with steak. My leftover steak was about 3 oz. of rare ribeye.

I have eaten many a low carb cobb salad in my day and I have traveled many times between Portland & Seattle.  There is a little joint off the I-5 in the middle of nowhere called Spiffy’s that has the best Cobb Salad (besides my own) that I have ever had so…if you are every up this way, stop in and try one…with their Caesar dressing- and it is the one I served in my restaurant.

  4. ¼ C Chopped Tomato
  5. ¼ C Slivered Purple Onion
  6. ¼ C Chopped Cooked Bacon
  7. ¼ C Good Quality Crumbled Blue Cheese
  8. 2 C Lettuce
Instructions
  1. “IF” you have nice large oval plates this would be the time to use them.
  2. Pile as much lettuce as you can get on the plate-at least 2 C and more it wanted..
  3. Arrange your ingredients artfully around the edge of the salad then drizzle dressing all over everything. For company, a nice garnish might be a couple of cheese crisps tucked in at both ends along with a couple wedges of lemon.

Notes
  1. Since I cannot know or account for the salad dressing you will be using the nutritionals are for the ingredients listed.
  2. You may certainly use any lettuce you like but my favorite for this is Spring Mix with a little Romaine mixed in for crunch.
  3. Additional lowcarb ingredients to your Cobb Salad might be black olives, bay shrimp, ham, mung bean sprouts, shredded cheddar cheese, and even strawberries. I have given the traditional recipe but this is going to be YOUR salad so add whatever YOU want.
  4. This salad is not so much about the lettuce but about the other tastes and ingredients.

Low Carb Blueberry Cobbler

3 Replies

Low Carb Blueberry CobblerLow Carb Blueberry CobblerLow Carb Blueberry CobblerThis Low Carb Blueberry Cobbler recipe is taken (and altered) from my original recipe scratched out in pencil on a torn piece of paper (which I still have).  I used to make (the real deal sugared kind) blueberry cobbler in a full size hotel pan for the restaurant which was probably about 6 qts. or about 32 servings at a time and this is how we served it. Either traditionally with vanilla ice cream or very simply drizzled with heavy cream-customers choice-and yeah some even ask for whipped cream too.  If you don’t have tapioca starch, don’t worry about it. All it does is thicken the berry juices and really-who cares?

I don’t eat ice cream anymore but drizzled heavy cream (or whipped cream) works for me and it will probably work for you as well.  That little blob on the cobbler?  It’s Crème Fraîche. So, no matter how you finish your low carb blueberry cobbler it’s a taste treat. This actually may be best described as a crisp rather than a cobbler which is what it looks more like. When taken out of the oven and cooled the top is very “crispy”.

How’s this for a bunch of names that can essentially be the same thing:

  • Cobbler
  • Crisp
  • Crumble
  • Betty
  • Slump
  • Grunt
  • Buckle
  • Sonker
  • Pandowdy

Low Carb Vampire Dip

Leave a reply

Low Carb Vampire DipThis Low Carb Vampire Dip is an altered version (but not much) of a famous recipe from Slater’s 50/50 Restaurants in California.

I was recently on vacation in my beloved Colorado and the question came up-had I ever had a 50/50 burger? I said no and ask what it was. The answer: 50% ground hamburger and 50% ground bacon. Oh wow, a burger after my own heart.  When I got home I read some reviews on Yelp and though everyone pretty much loves the burgers what they were really raving about the Vampire Dip. I got on the internet to try to find a recipe. I found it several places and took a little from one place and a little from another, added my own take, and this low carb vampire dip is the recipe I came up with and good grief it is pathetically fabulous.

This is good with low carb veggies and snow peas are very good however, to be authentic to  the way the restaurant serves it (with bread and pita chips) you could serve it with toasted Carbalose Flour Bread or Carbalose Flour Tortillas made into chips. I tried it with both and I also think Sour Cream & Chive Crackers could be yet another delivery device.

When you eat this divine stuff make sure everyone around you is eating it too cause we all know what garlic can do to us.  This is definitely a misery loves company strategy.  Oh yeah, and don’t be surprised if/when you eat more than ¼ cup.

**When you bake this, inevitably there will be fat that comes to the top.  If you notice in the picture above it is baked in a bread bowl and this fat would go unseen into the bread…so don’t sweat the fat-it’s good for you.

Polly-OThis is a plug for the best Mozzarella cheese that I have ever tasted.  Unfortunately It is not available in the Pacific Northwest but those of you in the East and Northeast can get it.  It is now owned by Kraft and I am hoping they have not changed it since I last had it.

Low Carb Orange Kissed CookiesLow Carb Orange Kissed Cookies. Who doesn’t like the taste of an orange.  I can no longer use oranges to cook or make anything, and orange juice is not good for you anyway, but I do use a lot of extracts and this little cookie is a good example. Low carb orange kissed cookies are perfect with an afternoon cup of tea.

Orange Kissed Cookies
Print
Ingredients
  1. 2 C Almond Flour
  2. ¼ C Arrowroot
  3. 1½ t Baking Powder
  4. 2 T Orange Extract
  5. 1 t Vanilla Extract
  6. ½ C Sugar Free Maple Syrup
  7. ½ C Melted Butter
  8. 8 Drops Liquid Sucralose
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Combine dry ingredients.
  3. In separate bowl, combine liquid ingredients.
  4. Add to dry ingredients, mix until smooth and let sit for 10 minutes until thickened as in a soft cookie dough.
  5. Mix again and place by the spoonful (I use a scoop for uniformity) onto a Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet and bake 15-20 minutes or until browning begins at the edges. Cookies will spread and be relatively flat.
  6. Small
  7. 62 Calories, 1.4g Protein, 6.7g Fat, 2.3g Carbs, .7g Fiber, 1.6g Net Carbs
  8. Large
  9. 186 Calories 4.1g Protein, 15.7g Fat, 7.0g Carbs, 2.1g Fiber, 4.9g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. I made them large with a #24 (3T) scoop and got exactly 12 cookies and with a #70 scoop (1T) I got exactly 36 so…3 smalls equal 1 large and you are probably less likely to eat 6 smalls than 2 large.
