Keto Eggplant Parmesan

Keto Eggplant ParmesanKeto Eggplant ParmesanKeto Eggplant ParmesanKeto Eggplant ParmesanKeto Eggplant Parmesan. This recipe is for two-three people so all you need to do is double it for four or…buy a really large eggplant. (Not Recommended) The idea may be to look at your finished fried slices to determine the number of people you can serve. You will need 8 slices total for two and if you have a child to help you eat this then you can stack three slices instead of four and the two left over for a smaller appetite. I found 3 Mini Rolls (formerly lost) in my freezer which is why you see them on my plate. I know there are many, many recipes for low carb eggplant Parmesan, this is just my own easy way to make it. This is keto eggplant Parmesan because it has enough cheese (fat) in it to choke a dog.

Low Carb Daikon Radish O’Brien

Leave a reply

Low Carb Daikon Radish O’BrienLow Carb Daikon Radish O’BrienLow Carb Daikon Radish O’Brien is a particularly versatile dish and will go with just about any meats. But where it really shines is with eggs for breakfast, which I eat for dinner. I call them super glorified hash browns and can also be used with left-over Prime Rib, Pulled Pork, or Lamb mixed in for a fabulous hash.  Wonderful served for breakfast on Christmas or Thanksgiving to kind of curb small appetites that may be trying to get into early morning candy but certainly sophisticated for the older palate. Don’t know it you can tell by the pictures but the radishes are cut to Brabant size.

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.

  3. Add all spices, mixing well.
  4. Slowly heat on very low to warm.
  5. Begin slowly mixing in cheese 2-3 T at a time, allowing to melt, and then adding more until all has been added. Yes, this will take a bit of time and don't try to hurry the process.

Notes
  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 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 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).

All Things Daikon Radish

Low Carb Daikon RadishLow Carb Daikon RadishLow Carb Daikon RadishAll Things Daikon Radish. Or…in my keto~lowcarb diabetic world…potatoes. Since going lowcarb and after having been diagnosed as diabetic 12 years ago, I have been using daikon and red radishes as my potato substitute with spectacular results and I am sharing them all below. Never could there have been a more well designed vegetable than the Daikon Radish, not only for you low-carbers but especially for all you diabetics. They can be used and cut in so many ways it’s not even funny. In stews, as French fries, in casseroles, in soups, in salads, pickled, desserts,…hope you are getting the idea. There is no way, after eating these, that you should miss potatoes eating Keto-LowCarb, and the absolute best thing about using daikon radishes in place of potatoes is that they take on any flavor you want them to. Savory yep, sweet yep, sour yep, that too. As you look at the pics & recipes notice how diverse & different they are. I am going to bet you will find a million ways to use the low carb daikon radish. There are more…whatever you can imagine. Below are many of the recipes on the site using the wonderful low carb daikon radish. So no matter which radish you choose either a daikon or red, they work equally well. They nearly all need to be parboiled just like any potato and instructions are included in the recipes.

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

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 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.

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.

  1. You may adjust any or all the of herbs to your own liking but before you change anything let it chill first.
  2. The dressing makes a fabulous dip for veggies and yes, I even dip bacon into it.
