Buffalo Chicken Mini Peppers

12/10/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture

Ingredients:

2 lb Mini Sweet Peppers
1 Rotisserie Chicken (4 cups)
1 Cup Buffalo Sauce 
1 block Cream Cheese
1 bunch Green Onion (save 2 TBSP for garnish)
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
½ tsp Pepper
1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese divided in half (one to mix and one for topping)

​

Instructions:

To make these Buffalo Chicken Mini Peppers let’s start by making the chicken mixture. 

Get your Rotisserie chicken and shred it up as best as you can. In a bowl, add the chicken, with all the other ingredients except the peppers and save half the cheese and 2 TBSP green onions and set aside. 

Once your mixture is well combined, set it aside so we can prepare the peppers. 

Rinse and then cut each mini pepper in half long ways. You can choose to cut off the stem or leave it on. 

Stuff each pepper with the buffalo chicken mixture and top with shredded cheese. 

Place in Air Fryer on 380 for 5 - 7 minutes

Drizzle with ranch and some green onions

If you have leftovers you can easily use the chicken mixture as a dip or use it for something else. Alternatively you can cut this recipe in half. 


If you prefer making these in the oven, you can bake them at 400 for 7-10 minutes

Keto Big Mac Egg Rolls

10/2/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture

Ingredients:

4 Cut Da Carb Flatbreads (or any low carb flat bread you choose
1 Lb. Ground Beef
1 Cup Coleslaw
¼ Cup Diced Onion
1 ½ Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Salt & Pepper to your liking

Sauce:
1 Cup Mayonnaise
½ Cup Sugar Free Ketchup
1 TBSP Mustard
2 TBSP Onion Powder 
1 tsp White Vinegar
¼ Cup Diced Dill Pickles
1 TBSP Dill PIckle Juice
Optional:  Add 1-2 tsp Keto approved sweetener

Instructions:

Make the sauce: 

In a bowl, add in all the Big Mac Sauce ingredients and mix them together. I recommend letting the sauce sit for at least 15 minutes before eating so it can have time to build the flavor.  Store in a jar with a lid and place in the fridge. This recipe will make 1 ¾ Cup of sauce total. 

Make the Big Mac Egg Rolls:

Add your ground beef to a pan on medium high heat and add salt and pepper. Cook until your ground beef is browned and then set aside. 

If you are using Cut Da Carb Flatbreads then you can fold each flatbread in half and cut them down the middle. Then, cut once more the other way so you have little rectangles. You can also cut them into squares if you want to roll them up more like a traditional egg roll. For these, we are rolling them more like a taquito just because it worked out better for me with the filling and size I wanted them to be. 

In a bowl, add your ground beef, onion, coleslaw, shredded cheese and mix until well combined. 

Lay down a piece of your cut flatbread and place the ground beef mixture along the long side of the flatbread on the side closest to you. Then, holding it a little tight, roll it up away from you and add a little water or egg wash along the edge to seal it shut. Continue this process until you’re all done. 

Frying: (My preferred method)

In a pan on medium heat, fry your egg rolls in Avocado OIl. These you don’t want to fry on medium high heat they do not take very long to fry. Fry them until they are golden in color and place them aside until all of your Big Mac Egg Rolls are done. 

Air Fryer:

The cooking time might depend on the type of Air Fryer you have but for mine I did 350 for about 5-7 minutes or until golden in color. Make sure you spray your egg rolls with cooking spray before placing into the Air Fryer. 

Once your Big Mac Egg Rolls are done, serve with the Big Mac Sauce for dipping.

Easy Keto Taco Seasoning

9/14/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture

Ingredients:

¼ Cup Chili Powder
3 TBSP Cumin
1 TBSP Paprika
1 TBSP Pink Salt
2 TBSP Garlic Powder
2 TBSP Onion Powder
1 TBSP Oregano
1 TBSP Black Pepper
1 TBSP Minced Onion , Dried
½ - 1 TBSP Sweetener (optional)

Instructions:

Mix all of the above seasonings into an 8 oz mason jar or any jar of your choice. I use these mason jars. 

Once you have added in all the seasonings, close the jar and shake it up. This recipe should fill up an 8 oz jar leaving just enough space to combine well when mixing. 

This jar makes 24 servings at 2 tsp per serving which is the same as a taco seasoning packet. 

A taco seasoning packet contains a sugar called Maltodextrin so if you want to mimic the taste of those packets you can add in sweetener if not you can leave it out. I normally don’t add sweetener but this is up to you. 
Servings: 2 tsp (makes 24 servings)

Jicama Fries (Air Fryer Recipe)

8/16/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Jicama Fries are so good and a great alternative to keto french fries. I prefer to make my jicama fries in the air fryer but you can also bake them or fry them in oil whatever you prefer. It is best to boil your jicama fries in water for 10 - 15 minutes before but if you don't mind the crisp you don't have to. Jicama Fries are in my opinion the best keto french fries i just love the taste of these jicama fries. I have also tried this same method with turnips and rutabaga but jicama fries is still in my opinion the best but please do use this same method and try the others to see which is your favorite. You can also freeze these Jicama Fries to make it an easy dinner and those instructions can be found on the written recipe down below:

Ingredients:

1 Large Jicama
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
½ tsp Pepper
½ tsp Salt
1 tsp Thyme

Instructions:

Start by peeling your jicama and then cutting them into slices and then cut them into french fry cuts. The thinner the fries the better they will cook so cut them to your desired thickness. 

First we need to prep our Jicama fries and you have an option here. To soften the Jicama up to make the texture more like a potato we need to boil them first for about 10 to 15 minutes. You can also place them in the microwave but may take longer. If you don’t mind the crisp of these you can skip this step. 

Once you have boiled your jicama fries, remove them onto a paper towel to remove that excess water. 

Frying Instructions:
Season your jicama fries with the seasonings listed above.  Add some Avocado oil to a hot pan and fry your jicama fries on medium heat until golden brown

Air Fryer Instructions:
Place your jicama fries into a bowl and toss in your Avocado oil and seasonings and mix it around until all of your jicama fries are fully covered in your seasonings. Then place onto your Air Fryer tray or basket and Air Fry at 400 for 10-15 minutes. If you did not boil them first it may take 25 to 30 minutes. 

You can also freeze your jicama and reheat in the air fryer on another day but if you do freeze them make sure you line them up on a parchment paper on a tray and place them in the freezer until they are frozen and then transfer them into a Ziplock bag. This will prevent them from getting stuck to each other.

Keto Avocado Toast (Chaffle Recipe)

7/26/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture

If you love Avocado Toast you just might love this Chaffle recipe. This is an Avocado Toast Chaffle you can have for breakfast. Alternatively you can use any keto bread you prefer but I do prefer my chaffles over any store bought keto bread but that is just me. 

For this Keto Avocado Toast I used a cheese chaffle instead of a wonder bread chaffle (which i prefer) because i wanted it to be crispy like a piece of toast so i wanted to make sure it had that crunch. 

Ingredients:

2 Large Eggs, 
½ Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
½ of an Avocado
1 tsp Sriracha 
Everything But the Bagel Seasoning (or any seasoning you like)

Instructions:

If you are using other keto bread you can skip this first part but to make the chaffle itself just mix together the mozzarella cheese and one large egg. Once your chaffle maker gets hot, add half of the mixture and allow to cook for about 4 minutes. Remove and set aside and do the same thing with the next one. This will make 2 chaffles. 

Now for putting together the Keto Avocado Toast :

Smash your avocado and spread it onto the chaffles. The ½ avocado will be enough for both of the chaffles so if you only make one just use ¼ of an avocado. Next, sprinkle on any seasoning you like, maybe salt and pepper but i personally recommend you add some everything but the bagel seasoning because why not?  

Next you will fry your other large egg and add that fried egg on top and then drizzle some sriracha on top of your egg. You can skip if you don’t like sriracha but if you know you know. That is it! This is a really simple breakfast you can make and is very keto friendly with the chaffle. 

If you are using a regular size waffle maker this will only make one. If you need a mini waffle maker to make these chaffles here are the two that I normally use but if you will be making batches i personally would suggest the multi chaffle maker it is a lifesaver.

Ingredients:

12 oz Bag Frozen Cauliflower Rice
1 TBSP Avocado Oil
¼ Cup green onion
⅓ Cup Orange Bell Pepper (about ½ medium bell pepper)
1 TBSP Minced Garlic
1 TBSP Sesame Oil
2 TBSP Liquid Aminos
¼ tsp Pepper
¼ tsp Turmeric
¼ tsp Ginger
3 Eggs

​

Instructions:

Add Avocado oil to a pan on medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the bag of frozen cauliflower rice. You can also use a head of cauliflower for this if you like to rice your own cauliflower. You want to fry the cauliflower to soak up all the liquid. While the cauliflower rice cooks, on the side add in your garlic, green onion and bell pepper in oil and saute for about 2 to 3 minutes and then mix in with the cauliflower rice. 

Add in pepper, turmeric, ginger and mix until well combined. Add in sesame oil and liquid aminos and mix and continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes. 

Push your rice mixture to the side to make room in the pan and crack in 3 large eggs. Allow to cook and then scramble and mix in with the rice. 

You can eat this as a side dish or add in protein of your choice like chicken or shrimp. 

Garnish your keto cauliflower fried rice with green onion and enjoy!

Caprese Salad with Balsamic Glaze

5/20/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture

Ingredients:

3 Roma Tomatoes
12 oz Fresh Mozzarella Slices
½ Cup Fresh Basil Leaves 
2 TBSP  Olive Oil
Sea Salt
Pepper
2 TBSP Balsamic Glaze Drizzle

Instructions:

Slice tomatoes and mozzarella into slices  about ¼ inch thick or to your liking. Arrange them on a plate in layers adding a slice of mozzarella in between each tomato. Add a piece of fresh basil in between each layer on top of the mozzarella cheese slices. 

Drizzle olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle on balsamic glaze. Make sure this is done right before serving so if it will be a while, just wait to add until ready to serve. The salt will pull out the liquid from the tomato and you don’t want a soggy salad. 


To Make Balsamic Glaze:
Add balsamic glaze to a saucepan and simmer on the stove until thick. The amount will reduce and then thicken on its own. No need to add in anything else.

Ingredients:

2 Cups Almond Flour
¼ Cup Coconut Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
¾ Cup Sweetener 
3 TBSP Almond Milk
4 oz Cream Cheese (room temperature)
4 Eggs 
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
¼ tsp Salt 
Donut Mold ( I use this one)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. 

In a mixing bowl, add all dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Add your remaining ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix using a hand mixer. Mix until you get a smooth batter. 

Use a large plastic sandwich bag and cut the corner big enough to be able to squeeze out batter around each donut mold. You can use a small spatula or spoon to smooth it out when done. 

Place silicone mold onto a baking sheet and place into the oven and bake for about 27 minutes. This may take a few minutes less or longer depending on your oven. I would check your donuts in around 24 minutes. 

Once your donuts are done, remove them from the oven and place them on a cooling rack and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes. 

Once donuts are cooled, remove the donuts from the molds. 

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
¾ Cup Sweetener
1 TBSP Cinnamon


Save any extra cinnamon sugar for other things. 

Dip the top of your donuts into the cinnamon sugar mix. 

Place your donuts into an airtight container and store in the fridge for the week.
