Ketofied Cheddar Garlic Biscuits a la Red Lobster I used to be addicted (and still am, I just have to exercise self-restraint nowadays) to those cheddar garlic biscuits at Red Lobster. Just thinking about them makes me start drooling and takes me to my happy place... So I set out to try to make a keto version of those. Here's what I've come up with so far... Ingredients: 1/2 c coconut flour 1/2 c almond flour 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp Himalayan pink salt 3/4 c shredded cheddar cheese (divided) 4 large eggs 3/4 c Sour Cream (full-fat) 1/4 c Kerrygold butter, melted Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350F 2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 3. In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder and salt. 4. Once blended nicely with the whisk, whisk in 1/2 c of the shredded cheddar cheese. 5. Stir in eggs, sour cream and melted butter until well combined. 6. Drop by rounded spoonfu...

Whipped Dream INGREDIENTS:  1 small package sugar free jello, any flavor 4 ounces cream cheese, softened 1 Cup Boiling Water About 2 cups ice cubes or crushed ice DIRECTIONS:  In a medium bowl, dissolve the jello in 1 cup boiling water, stirring 3-5 minutes.  Add 1 1/2-2 cups ice and stir until the jello starts to thicken; about 3 minutes. Remove any unmelted ice.  In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese with a mixer until smooth.  Add a small amount of the jello (2 tablespoon or so) to the cream cheese.  Beat until smooth and creamy.  Add the cheese mixture to the rest of the jello; beat on high until foamy.  Pour into servings dishes and chill until set.  TIP:  You can also do layers of this and layer them to make a great looking (and tasting) parfait! 

As weird as it sounds, I'm a big fan of crack slaw, just without the "slaw" part. I've never been a fan of cabbage, or cole slaw , or stringy lettuce that seems to serve no real purpose. I do however love everything else contained in the crack slaw, so I set out to make my own version of crack slaw... minus the slaw. This is my version, that I wanted to share with others who may also share my strange aversion to the "slaw" part of crack slaw... M.C.'s Alternative Crack Slaw INGREDIENT LIST: 1 lb . Ground Beef Salt and Pepper 2 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Oil 2 Garlic Cloves, Minced 3 Green Onions, Sliced 1 Large Zucchini, spiral sliced (I use a Veggetti) 1/2 Cauliflower Head, riced in a food-processor or Vitamix 2 Tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce (optional if you are avoiding soy) 1/2 tsp Sriracha Sauce (this will be mild, you can add more if you prefer spicier or you can add red pepper flakes if you need more spice) 1 gram Erithrytol 1/2 tsp ginger pa...

Cheesey CauliTots... perfect for those who are missing being able to have tater tots. These are a good substitute, although you shouldn't expect that they'll have the same "crunch" of a tater tot. Great as a side dish or an appetizer, you can serve with your dipping sauce of choice, or even melt cheese on top of them. Delicious!  Ingredients 1 medium head of cauliflower 2 Tbsp heavy cream 3 Tbsp butter 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar 4 egg whites salt & pepper to taste Instructions - Clean and trim the cauliflower; Put the florets to a microwave safe bowl.  - Add the heavy cream and butter to the bowl and microwave for 5 minutes.  - Add the cauliflower and cheese to a Vitamix or food processor and blend until it reaches the consistency of cooked oatmeal. - Season with salt and pepper, to taste.  - Chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.  - While mixture is chilling, whip the egg whites to a stiff peak.  - Once chille...

A delicious and easy way to jazz up your chicken, especially if you miss breaded chicken. Even non-Keto or non-LCHFers love this dish, and it tastes just as good as leftovers the next day! You can't go wrong with this recipe. For those who don't like garlic, you can leave out the garlic powder and use salt and pepper, and you can use regular Old Bay spice instead of garlic flavored.  And of course if you prefer a different flavor of Pork Rind, you can certainly swap out whichever flavor you like best.  Ingredients: 1 pound of chicken thighs Pink Himalayan Sea Salt Garlic Old Bay Spice (Original can be used also) Garlic Powder 4 ounce bag of BBQ pork rinds (Original or any other flavor can be used if you prefer) 2 eggs Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350F  2.  Season chicken thighs with salt, Old Bay and garlic powder. 3. Finely crush pork rinds. I used my Vitamix, but you can also just put them in a zip lock bag and rolled them with a rolling pin. Make ...

I was recently tasked with an bringing an appetizer to a potluck for all ages. Since I live a LCHF lifestyle, I always try to make something that not only I will be able to eat, but that I hope others will also enjoy, regardless of whether or not they're LCHF. These low- carb and paleo -friendly Low Carb Cauliflower Mini Corn Dogs were a massive success, and many were surprised when they heard the nutritional facts on these guys!! Only 2.7 net carbs per 2 mini dogs!! These get swallowed up quickly!! I'd love to hear everyone's opinions on these, if you do try them out, and I always welcome tweaks to hear if you think of ways to improve on the recipes!!
