Keto Chicken Spiedini

Leave a reply

Keto Chicken SpiediniKeto Chicken SpiediniKeto Chicken Spiedini and what a terrific way to enjoy chicken. Easy, easy recipe with lots of kudos, oohs, awes, & praise from your family or dinner guests and…what a great way to worm Ground Pork Rinds instead of bread crumbs into your food. Keto Chicken Spiedini is super lemony and we all know how well lemon goes with chicken. It is traditionally served with a pasta and the first time I ate mine with Spaghetti Squash…with much relish I might say and yes, I ended up eating both the smaller skewers. The second picture is shown with Cauliflower Grits and was more than equally as good. Despite the list of ingredients, these go very quickly with lots of in-between waiting time. If your feeling lazy and don’t want to go to the trouble, you can leave them whole and just fry them in butter.

  3. 1 T Lemon Zest
  4. 1 T Lemon Juice
  5. 2 t Garlic Paste
  6. 6-10" Or 12-6" Wooden Skewers
Instructions
  1. Cut each thigh into 6 cubes. (See Notes)
  2. Put cut chicken in a large bowl, lightly sprinkle with salt on all and allow to sit about 30-45 minutes.
  3. In small bowl mix all marinade ingredients. (Set Aside)
  4. Add marinade (don’t rinse the salted chicken) making sure chicken cubes are well coated. Again allow to sit another 30-45 minutes.
  5. When Ready, preheat oven to 350°-360°.
  6. While waiting for chicken to marinate, make and mix the crumb dredge, and put on large platter for dredging.
  7. Skewer 10-12 pieces of chicken per person.
  8. When ready, dredge each skewer into the crumb mix. Make sure you cover them well with it.
  9. Place the skewers on a sheet pan lined with foil and bake 25-28 minutes. They will not stick.
  10. Be sure to leave space between each skewer when baking.

Notes
  1. There are natural ways to cut a thigh by dividing the smaller side from the larger side then cutting the smaller into 2 pieces and the larger into 4 pieces. This is approximate and you should cut appropriately. You just don’t want the pieces too large. About 1½” pieces should work and you should get 6 cubes from each thigh. For judgement I figured about 2 thighs per person or for 1-10" skewer.
  2. I used 6” skewers, I also have 10”, and they are what I would use next time. I ate both of them.
  3. I have never washed chicken and I suggest you never wash yours either.

Keto Cream Cheese Fondue

Keto Cream Cheese FondueKeto Cream Cheese FondueKeto Cream Cheese FondueKeto Cream Cheese FondueKeto Cream Cheese FondueKeto Cream Cheese FondueKeto Cream Cheese Fondue. This cream cheese fondue is the second fondue recipe on the site but honestly it is the easier, creamier of the two. Many people have trouble melting Gruyère or other traditional fondue cheeses so this keto cream cheese fondue is for you. Personally it is difficult to tell the difference and it’s what I am going to be making from now on. The ingredients are both piquant and what most people will have on hand or are easily obtainable. Though some of you will use keto cream cheese fondue to dip bread into, its primary purpose is to use it with sausages, vegetables, and yes, even pork rinds are terrific. It also makes a great nachos sauce using pork rinds and if topped with chicken or beef…a fabulous dinner.

  1. Please, only use Philadelphia brand Cream Cheese. I used some off brand crap from Whole Foods the third time I made this and it DID NOT work.
  2. Best if left to sit for 10-15 minutes and if you need to reheat it a bit then just do it slowly while stirring.
  3. If you have leftover it will stay the perfect consistency and will not "harden" in the fridge.
  4. I got my queso shredded cheese from Safeway.
  5. If you like, add more spices to your own taste.

Keto Thousand Island Dressing

Leave a reply

Keto Thousand Island DressingKeto Thousand Island DressingKeto Thousand Island DressingKeto Thousand Island Dressing. I should have posted this keto thousand island dressing recipe a 1,000 years ago but you know how it is and better late than never.  I kind of messed up a little getting ahead of myself with pictures and kinda forgot to take a picture of the finished dressing and that’s why you see that puny little dish with only about ¼ cup in it. Oops.

Anyway, back at the ranch (on one of those 1,000 islands), this recipe has been around forever. Some will mix in a hard-boiled egg but I like the way a salad or most other things look with grated egg on top so that’s the way I do mine.  If you are going to top something like the Open-Faced Rueben then better to add your hard-boiled egg into the dressing or better yet, put the egg in the dressing and then more grated egg on top.

Keto Tonnato

Leave a reply

Keto TonnatoKeto TonnatoKeto TonnatoKeto TonnatoKeto Tonnato and it kind of reminds me of the song; you say Potato, I say Potahto, you say Tomato, I say Tomahto…. Let’s call the whole thing off. Only we are not calling the whole thing off because this Keto Tonnato Sauce is literally to die for good. It was and is, traditionally served with veal in Europe (Italy originally)) but here in the good old USA we do not have much veal to speak of anymore as the veal police swept through and decided we shouldn’t be killing baby cows anymore. But the good news is that it is good with lots of other foods. It is really kinda, sorta like a “tuna mayo” if you will. The absolute success to any Keto Tonnato is using a good quality Tuna, packed in real olive oil, and I have shown two pictures of what I use. I have also shown it with veal but it is certainly not limited to it. Notably with chicken or pork scallopini, thinly cut pieces of either tenderloin or loin of pork, vegetables of all kinds which might include broccolini & green beans, and used as a dip with a crudités. When all else fails you can just take a spoon to it and…eat it.

Keto Cream Of Bacon Soup

Keto Cream Of Bacon SoupKeto Cream Of Bacon SoupKeto Cream Of Bacon Soup. A while ago a new Italian butcher shop opened near me and they have & smoke their own jowl bacon (guanciale). I bought some and have eaten nothing but this bacon ever since. I never know or can remember when something enters my brain or strikes my fancy but this is one of those recipes. It just seemed too easy to be true but…it is.

Low Carb Tiger Sauce

Leave a reply

Low Carb Tiger SauceLow Carb Tiger SauceLow Carb Tiger SauceLow Carb Tiger Sauce. I made this the other day on a whim and it was so good I decided to make it a recipe for you. Super easy and can be served with many meats. It is pretty spicy but the good news; there are no Thai bird chili peppers in it. I love spicy foods of all kinds but Thai peppers are a bit over the top even for me as I also want to be able to actually taste my food. I have shown this low carb tiger sauce it with a pork flank steak and then with a nice rare hanger steak and it was fabulous with both meals. I also have a sneaking suspicion this would go really well with eggs.

Keto Stuffed Chicken Boats

Leave a reply

Keto Stuffed Chicken BoatsKeto Stuffed Chicken BoatsKeto Stuffed Chicken BoatsKeto Stuffed Chicken Boats. I have made and stuffed chicken breasts before but never like this. Usually you have to slice the breast from the side to make a pocket, the tenderloin tends to fall off and…what a mess, but not these pretty puppies. The opening is made in the top hence the name keto stuffed chicken boats cause/and…that’s exactly what they look like. The addition of a few cherry tomatoes are perfect with it as the flavors go so well together and also take the same amount of time to cook.

They are very easy to put together and cook, that foil is what sets and keeps the boats upright and…because of the way they are cooked, they stay exceptionally moist. I first made and tested one but only took a few pics and didn’t measure my ingredients so I had to make it again and awe, had to eat one again too. Chicken breasts as you probably know have become ridiculously large and can top out the scales at 13-14 ounces. If you can get smaller ones then great and good luck so if you end up with larger breasts then they should be cut in half and shared with a hungry buddy.

A little secret here and I’m not kidding. I dropped the already cooked danged thing on the floor but luckily it was still stuffed with the foil still in it and it held together beautifully and yep… I ate it. This keto stuffed chicken boats recipe will serve two people so two breasts will feed four hungry people.

Low Carb Cabbage Fritters

Leave a reply

Low Carb Cabbage FrittersLow Carb Cabbage FrittersLow Carb Cabbage Fritters. Found this recipe tootling around the internet and it sounded fantastic. There was not much I would need to change except subbing ground pork rinds for flour and They. Are. Incredibly. Delicious. I have included a lovely yogurt dip and I also think either my Asian Dipping Sauce or the Asian Lime Fish Sauce would also be wonderful with these low carb cabbage fritters. The yogurt picture is to show you what I use to make the sauce. Fritters make either a really fabulous appetizer or vegetable.

Cabbage Fritters
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1½ Lbs or 1 Small Head Cabbage
  2. 1 t Salt
  3. 2 Small Onions (Or 1 Large) Finely Diced
  4. 4-5 T Olive Oil Divided
  5. 1 T Garlic Paste***
  6. 2 Eggs
  7. 1 t Dried Thyme
  8. 1 t Red Pepper Flakes
  9. ½ t Salt
  10. ¼ t Pepper
  11. ½ C Ground Pork Rinds***
Sauce
  1. ¾ C Yogurt
  2. 2 t Lemon Juice
  3. ¾ t Garlic Paste
  4. ¾ t Dried Parsley
  5. ¼ t Salt
Instructions
  1. Core and cut cabbage into ⅛” long strips, turn, then into thirds or fourths. Pieces should be about ⅛” x 1½”.
  2. Put cut cabbage & 1 t salt into large pot of water and boil for 10-15 minutes or until falling apart tender.
  3. Strain, drain, cool, and squeeze as much water as is possible out of it.
  4. Now squeeze cabbage one more time for good measure.
  5. Dice onions, add to 1 T olive oil and sauté about 5-6 minutes.
  6. Add garlic and cook until golden brown being careful not to burn the garlic.
  7. Add salt, pepper, thyme, & red pepper flakes and cook another 1-2 minutes. Add to cabbage.
  8. Beat 2 eggs, add pork rinds, mixing well and add to cabbage mixture.
  9. Using a medium scoop, (I used a size #24) or about 2½ T form into balls and barely push to make a fat disc.
  10. Put 2 T olive oil into large skillet and fry cabbage discs 5-6 at a time until dark brown on both sides.
  11. Repeat until finished.
Sauce
  1. Mix all sauce ingredients.
  2. Arrange nicely with sauce in the center.
  3. 8 Servings 2/Person
Notes
  1. If you don’t cook the fritters long enough they will not set well enough to flip. Just try not to make them too big. After refrigeration they hold up super well as I can attest. Like an animal, later after dinner, I stood in the kitchen and ate a couple more of them cold over the sink soooo...they would be perfect for a child's snack.
  2. I have included a picture of the yogurt I have used forever, to at least introduce you to it. It will be the best yogurt you have ever eaten and it is thick as mud.
  3. The sauce, if you even have any left over, can be used in a myriad of ways so don't worry, you're probably going to make it again for other stuff anyway. It's good with cucumbers and very good with pork rinds.

Keto Mexican Chicken Queso Soup

Leave a reply

Keto Mexican Chicken Queso SoupKeto Mexican Chicken Queso SoupKeto Mexican Chicken Queso Soup. A couple of weeks ago I bought a 16 oz. jar of a fabulous Queso to fix myself some nachos using Pork Skins instead of some other high carb chip and since I live alone, I had tons (of Queso) left over. What you see in that bowl of creamy goodness is just stuff I either had on the counter, in the fridge, or in the freezer freezer. (The chicken). Knowing I now had way too much chicken I saved the rest and made chicken salad for following day. It’s a never ending cycle of too much of one thing to incorporate into another meal and those 2 chicken hindquarters will turn into 3 meals. Keto Mexican chicken queso soup could not be easier as the actual soup part only has five ingredients and that includes (poaching) water but all the goodness of this soup comes from the wonderful lowcarb accoutrements. I am here to tell you there is a lot of flavor in that bowl.

Low Carb Shrimp & Sausage Jambalaya

Low Carb Shrimp & Sausage JambalayaLow Carb Shrimp & Sausage Jambalaya.

Goodbye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh.

Me gotta go, pole the pirogue down the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and filé gumbo,

Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

A few of the words from the famous song and this is my rendition of a really good low carb Shrimp & Smoked Sausage Jambalaya.  You will absolutely need a recipe of Cauliflower Grits as it is part of the recipe that makes this low carb shrimp & smoked sausage jambalaya.  To tell you the truth, I no longer mash cauliflower.  I much prefer the grits as they do not “weep” after freezing and have nearly zero liquid in them.  They truly are the consistency of grits and I am hoping after you make them you will agree and you will see lots of associated recipes listed there.

  3. ¼ C Olive Oil (I Use Lard)
  4. 1 Medium Onion Diced Small
  5. 1 C Chopped Green Peppers Diced Small (I Used Red)
  6. 2 Stalks Celery Diced Small
  7. 2 t Crushed Garlic
  8. 1½ Cans Diced Tomatoes
  9. 1 C Water + More If Needed
  10. 1 T Creole Seasoning (Your Favorite)
  11. 2 T Chicken Base
  12. 1-2 t Filé Gumbo (Not Necessary But Has A Subtle Sassafras Flavor & Helps Thicken)
  13. ¼ C Finely Sliced Green Onions
  14. 2 C Cauliflower Grits
  15. Salt & Pepper As Needed But Taste First
Instructions
  1. Cut shrimp into 3-4 equal segments and slice or chunk sausage.
  2. Sauté sausage in dry pan until browned and set aside.
  3. Add oil to medium low pan then add onion, peppers, celery, and cook until veggies are softened.
  4. Add garlic & Creole seasoning and cook additional minute.

Notes
  1. Cauliflower Grits are included in the nutritionals.
  2. Good luck finding a sugar free sausage. Even the Andoille I use and get from Louisiana has 2g carb per 4 oz. but it’s way better than most. Be careful as a lot of smoked sausages even have corn syrup in them.
  3. If you want your Jambalaya a bit spicier add ½ t cayenne or hot sauce of choice and I like chipotle powder.

Keto Vegetable Dip

Leave a reply

Keto Vegetable DipKeto Vegetable DipKeto Vegetable Dip. It’s been a wild ride getting this into a recipe and here’s the story. I first made it just messing around in the kitchen but I liked it so much I made it again and knew it was a winner. Soooo first, as I made it several times I ran out of my frozen 3.5% Darigold Bulgarian Buttermilk cubes and needed to buy more. The grocery store where I had always gotten it was no longer carrying it. Ugh. OK and then, my computer had a rather large problem which took me about 3 weeks to finally get fixed. Lucky for me I have a dear friend who also happened to work for NASA as yes, a NASA scientist who fixed it quite handily. He works on the cheap for…guess what…FOOD. Meanwhile, I can’t find my old buttermilk anywhere. What to do? I PUNTED. I bought some dried buttermilk powder as seen in the picture above and began using that. Good grief, if you don’t have this stuff you should. At least for me it is kind of a miracle product and now I will use it for lots of stuff. My opinion: this keto vegetable dip will be the best thing you have tasted with…vegetables.

Keto Sweet Lime Shrimp

Keto Sweet Lime ShrimpKeto Sweet Lime Shrimp. Do you like easy? Do you like shrimp? Do you like butter? Do you like lime? If you answered yes to these questions this recipe may be for you. I have garnished mine the way I like it and you will do the same. Served it over Cauliflower Grits and again you will do it as you wish. I use a LOT of cauliflower grits and rest assured they are not just plain old riced cauliflower. One good sized head should give you about 6-½ C servings which freeze well for later use. I make 2 heads at a time to freeze.
