Every leading lady needs a good supporting actress and that’s what “Riced” Cauliflower is, a good supporting role. We love riced cauliflower with Kung Pao Chicken, Broccoli Beef, Ossobucco,Beef Vindaloo, Chicken Cacciatore and any other “Star” that needs a little side kick.
Chicken Cordon Bleu
When I was 19 years old I was invited to a “Pioneer” lunch at my friend Frieda house. She rolled out the red carpet for us with white tablecloths and fine China. It was my first experience with a “fancy” grown up dinner and I was wowed!
A Week in the Life Of a Keto Diet
So what exactly does someone on a Ketogenic diet eat? I was a little baffled on this in the beginning too. Is it like the Atkins diet that was so popular several years ago when people ate all protein and could eat copious amounts of bacon and butter? Well, I guess it’s similar but technically the Keto diet should be all veggies and healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, seeds, nuts and a healthy source protein like eggs, fish and meat. What you can’t have is carbohydrates like wheat, corn, rice, potatoes or beans. Most fruits are not allowed either with the exception of berries.
Keto Waffles
So no need to write anything about Keto Waffles except YUMM!! Today my husband and I came home at lunch time and decided to eat breakfast for lunch. I had been wanting to try Keto Waffles every since my mother in law told me how much she liked them.
Mexican Beef Fajitas (with Keto Version)
Coconut Fried Shrimp (Keto friendly)
One day my husband was frying a few shrimp in coconut oil and I was thinking how coconut-y and delicious it smelled and it made me think how good Shrimp would be dredged in coconut flour and shredded coconut. So I got busy looking for a recipe and came up with this one.
Pasole (Mexican Soup)
With Keto Version and Gluten Free!
In California it is very common to enjoy all of the many delicious recipes and foods of Mexico. I first ate this soup in my 20’s, it was prepared by a friend who was not of Mexican decent but being from Southern California she always loved a good Taqueria! We were always on the look out for the best nachos or those huge burritos stuffed with carnitas, beans, rice, cilantro, onions and chili.
Keto Turkey (or Chicken) Broccoli Casserole Bake
Ingredients:
So looks like you tried the Classic American Turkey Dinner! Now you find yourself with heaps of leftover turkey, but thats part of the fun of making turkey, all of those leftovers! In my American Italian family we always had another night after the Turkey Dinner that we all went back to grandmas house for another night of Turkey dinner. That proves that an Italian can cook an American Turkey dinner because my Italian grandmother always nailed it! Interestingly, Ravioli was always part of the turkey dinner too, right along with the mashed potatoes, gravy and stuffing. I guess you can take the Italian out of Italy but you can’t take Italy out of the Italian.
Keto Cranberry Sauce
Wow! This is so easy I don’t even think I should write a blog about it. But it is also so good that I think everyone on Keto should know about it. My husband said it is what made his Keto turkey dinner so enjoyable. Of course, I’m sure my Cauliflower “mashed potatoes” and Turkey helped too!
Keto Cauliflower “Mashed Potatoes”
The Classic American Turkey Dinner…comfort food at its best. a Turkey dinner can be a huge hurdle for Keto eaters because of the carb heavy side dishes like stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, candied yams and cranberry sauce. Basically it’s a hard “No” all around leaving you with a few pathetic slices of turkey sadly looking up at you totally void of his faithful side kicks.
