Not
just because they are warm and delicious! Many of them are a dump and go
recipe. I had a busy day at work so I threw this in the crockpot yesterday
afternoon. Only thing that took a minute was to shred the chicken and dump it back
in. Literally, took me a minute. Does it get any easier than that? No browning
meat. No dirtying a bunch of dishes. Just a creamy soup with great flavor and a
little kick. Well, the way I made it anyway. But I love the spicy stuff. This
is a keto recipe but can easily be altered.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKNIMLggd3pi2IJZ4hZF-Ks8HTMxvhgzIkUlvQ3DQAJQMTj52LuKwFZzxOmIQ-mAv7HsbdwHTC42Rvcn5dRSPDu6Rexo_rFanAg9DviQVyTTGrAwr-bhEP1zuVvnvpHr6WgWXE3Yv5c4jouidY3e4qx1_euBXAPVNlUztO1a9Hdg0OxbtSOUmfACtO8w/s1109/Chicken-Queso-Soup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1109" data-original-width="740" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKNIMLggd3pi2IJZ4hZF-Ks8HTMxvhgzIkUlvQ3DQAJQMTj52LuKwFZzxOmIQ-mAv7HsbdwHTC42Rvcn5dRSPDu6Rexo_rFanAg9DviQVyTTGrAwr-bhEP1zuVvnvpHr6WgWXE3Yv5c4jouidY3e4qx1_euBXAPVNlUztO1a9Hdg0OxbtSOUmfACtO8w/s320/Chicken-Queso-Soup.jpg" width="214" /></a></div>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><u>Optional:</u></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">2 cups baby

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Avocado <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Monterrey or
Colby jack cheese <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Jalapenos <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Tortilla strips
on top</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Notes: The original recipe called for 28 oz of diced tomatoes and 1 cup salsa verde or green salsa. I opted for the combination of diced tomatoes and rotel above because that’s what I had on hand. I also added 2 cups of spinach because I need more greens. I’m allergic to avocado so that’s a no go for me but I did top it with a pinch of shredded Colby jack.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Place chicken,
taco seasoning, tomatoes with juices, salt, chicken broth, and green salsa in
Instant Pot. Set to manual mode and cook for 10 minutes at high pressure. Allow
pressure to release naturally (about 15 minutes), remove and shred the chicken.
Set aside. Stir softened cream cheese into the soup in the pot and whisk until
fully melted. Return chicken to the soup and serve with diced avocado and
monterrey jack cheese.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Place all
ingredients except cream cheese in the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours
or until the chicken is tender and shreds easily. Add cream cheese and stir
until melted.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSGYNRDY9Qm7mGLDyworebp-hhKnMNEjkOPQ0U5zO6iMwkIZ60nT29cUil9WgQgXkFZFMQClYDiMcTYy305kykMiDIEH305SO7MIk7KgBtvLdPQMQ_a3wGAd52FGgQ9AFLHAqzeT8ttdKaPdeOfU_L75VOhuLJVpq48rIPFBjLuEwFfVemIHenPNojYQ/s640/Chicken-Queso-Soup%20with%20spinach.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSGYNRDY9Qm7mGLDyworebp-hhKnMNEjkOPQ0U5zO6iMwkIZ60nT29cUil9WgQgXkFZFMQClYDiMcTYy305kykMiDIEH305SO7MIk7KgBtvLdPQMQ_a3wGAd52FGgQ9AFLHAqzeT8ttdKaPdeOfU_L75VOhuLJVpq48rIPFBjLuEwFfVemIHenPNojYQ/s320/Chicken-Queso-Soup%20with%20spinach.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>

famous endless soup, salad and breadsticks. I for one, am a huge fan of their
Zuppa Toscana soup. I’m not, however, a fan of the calories and carbs
associated with the soup. Not to mention the basket of breadsticks I would want
to consume if I was at OG. So I tried my hand at a keto friendly zuppa. And I have
to tell you, I didn’t miss the potatoes at all. Cauliflower really is a low
carb chameleon and I’m glad that I like it.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">1 lb. mild
Italian Sausage<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">4 slices
thick-cut bacon (chopped) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">32 oz beef bone

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">1 small onion,
diced<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">3 cloves fresh
garlic, minced<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">1 head fresh

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">½ cup heavy
whipping cream<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">2 cups fresh

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">salt and

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">DIRECTIONS</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Brown your
sausage and chopped up bacon together in a large soup pot. Once your meat is
cooked, drain the grease and add beef broth, onions, garlic, and cauliflower.
Cover and cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes, until the cauliflower is
tender. I used a potato masher to break up the chunks of the cauliflower at
this point.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Once the
cauliflower is softened, add in heavy cream and spinach. Cook for about 5
minutes, until spinach or kale is soft. Add salt, pepper and some crushed red pepper
flakes to taste. Serve with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. <o:p></o:p></p>LUhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04401065979437205290noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4981718785874772942.post-15264048642703548312022-12-13T08:57:00.004-08:002022-12-13T08:57:58.711-08:00Jalapeno popper chicken – keto<p>I’m always looking for ways to jazz
up chicken breasts and this was the perfect recipe! Don’t be scared by the
jalapenos. This isn’t a spicy dish. I would probably add another jalapeno for
more kick next time I make it because I like the heat. If you need a quick
dinner that’s easy to throw together, I highly recommend this creamy and
delicious meal.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Cube your

the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per
side. Remove chicken and place in the bottom of a sprayed baking dish.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">In a medium
bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, whipping cream, and garlic. Spread over
the chicken in the dish.</p>

the jalapeno and cheddar cheese, then sprinkle with the chopped bacon. Bake
about 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through.<o:p></o:p></p>

I
made it last night and I can’t wait to warm up some leftovers again for dinner.
The frying of the chicken is a little messy so I may try it in the air fryer
next time but I love the crispiness of the chicken in the pan. The creamy
spinach (aka spinach dip) is so delicious I could just eat that as a dip with
crackers or tortilla chips. This is hands down one of my favorite recipes I’ve
made this year. The picture doesn't do it justice at all. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijpr69lCQ_SfojZp0NRJqXIx44KTm-F9c8W-HRSFGN31wbwoJyYjnEK2L-A5j5p3_CO8LWsIVr-5nf5NpbvXv7ytaW8Eb9SpJV7_2_IK7Ar0phRrFjnp2pRxmi_KLMQiOHyEZL-ZMJXVeyDy3Eu1TWSEH3rmiaxe8Ymd2AiWonh_9tRrLuzqmPf-cagg/s640/chicken%20thighs%20and%20creamed%20spinach%20dip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijpr69lCQ_SfojZp0NRJqXIx44KTm-F9c8W-HRSFGN31wbwoJyYjnEK2L-A5j5p3_CO8LWsIVr-5nf5NpbvXv7ytaW8Eb9SpJV7_2_IK7Ar0phRrFjnp2pRxmi_KLMQiOHyEZL-ZMJXVeyDy3Eu1TWSEH3rmiaxe8Ymd2AiWonh_9tRrLuzqmPf-cagg/s320/chicken%20thighs%20and%20creamed%20spinach%20dip.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p>INGREDIENTS</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">2 tablespoons oil <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Seasonings: salt, pepper, paprika,
garlic and onion powder<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">5-6 bone in, skin on chicken
thighs<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">8 ounce package cream cheese<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">1/2 cup mayonnaise<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">1/2 cup sour cream<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">2 large handfuls of fresh spinach<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">1/2 cup shredded asiago cheese <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">1 can mild Rotel<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">DIRECTIONS<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Add oil to a large skillet over
medium-high heat. Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, paprika,
garlic and onion powder.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Add the chicken
thighs to the skillet skin side down, and cover with a splatter guard, if
desired.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">When the chicken skin is crispy
and releases from the pan (about 15 minutes), flip them to the other side. Let
cook until an internal temperature thermometer reads 165F.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remove from pan onto a plate and set
aside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pour out any grease that is left
in the pan.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">In the same skillet add the cream
cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and stir to combine. Add the spinach. Once this
mixture is getting melty, add the can of rotel and parmesan/asiago cheese
blend. Stir until creamy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>Notes: </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The original recipe called for 12
oz frozen chopped spinach, but I used fresh baby spinach. It also said 1 cup of
parmesan, but I mixed it up with the asiago. If you’re not a chicken on the
bone person use chicken breasts or tenderloin strips. You won’t have the crisp skin
but it will still be a magical combination.<o:p></o:p></p>LUhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04401065979437205290noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4981718785874772942.post-58833488380180944862022-11-17T06:18:00.000-08:002022-11-17T06:18:19.267-08:00Stuffed Italian Sausage Bake <p>This recipe was insanely simple

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">1 pack of sweet Italian sausage
links<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">5 string cheese<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Marinara or crushed tomatoes (I used a large can of crushed tomatoes)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Mozzarella <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Optional: spinach and one mini
sweet bell pepper<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">DIRECTIONS<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray an 8
x10 pan with nonstick spray.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Use kitchen scissors or a knife to
cut a slit down the middle of the sausages. Do not cut all the way through and
do not remove the casing. Lay a mozzarella stick inside each sausage and press
it back into its shape.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Pour a small layer of marinara on
the bottom of the pan. Put the sausages casing side down. Top with some baby
spinach and diced sweet bell pepper, then the rest of the marinara sauce. I
sprinkled with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, then a bit of mozzarella over
the top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and
bake for 10 more minutes or until the top layer of cheese is melted.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Note: You don’t have to do the spinach.
I just thought it would be fun. Could probably throw some mushrooms, onions or
other veggies in too if you wanted. <o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyPPwiILqWcd5Oh9kzRl1TMU2QfrSa3cay5Jsoe-BD2eXTaY0J2z4_0JHkgQQb8E451PpbmOctiDyj8iMtjrR2Ib-oRZOwnfLE6kAC7wwngiI7BEGeZsp3a1kQVogYQJL5fuTb-EMXRi5QEVL6VMYMyDLcXKoN2Zjae9pXjbJEE7q4MEI1tB8rDiDDTg/s640/stuffed%20italian%20sausage%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyPPwiILqWcd5Oh9kzRl1TMU2QfrSa3cay5Jsoe-BD2eXTaY0J2z4_0JHkgQQb8E451PpbmOctiDyj8iMtjrR2Ib-oRZOwnfLE6kAC7wwngiI7BEGeZsp3a1kQVogYQJL5fuTb-EMXRi5QEVL6VMYMyDLcXKoN2Zjae9pXjbJEE7q4MEI1tB8rDiDDTg/s320/stuffed%20italian%20sausage%202.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>LUhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04401065979437205290noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4981718785874772942.post-30251213155694282252022-10-05T12:46:00.000-07:002022-10-05T12:46:07.835-07:00Ooey gooey Chex mix (that tastes like a scotcharoo)<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">If you're from
the Midwest you know that Scotcharoos are a staple at any potluck, tailgate or
holiday. They are one of my favorite desserts, but I have to be honest, I don't
make them very often. They’re not overly difficult but something about making them
isn’t my jam. So when my friend Dayna had this Chex mix concoction at their
tailgate party that tastes just like Scotcharoos (without the chocolate frosting
on top) I had to get the recipe from her. And it is literally the easiest
recipe ever.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEild47Nczlsoy6q2lDWeNXxVXnXQJQD8s-NqdvstQKEqytGJZ4arkKIdcThw100athQxMtf9ZJwqmZuzCStbhhKJxZ5x4AiPQx8MFAeyDCC2uWcM3SG5066JP49fj-I7ELCMB4md-HjaSLcQvK_G1NRMDoEvZW7X3mwxNkSEnPv6DkEiXRZuzRZxpxLWA/s640/chex%20mix.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEild47Nczlsoy6q2lDWeNXxVXnXQJQD8s-NqdvstQKEqytGJZ4arkKIdcThw100athQxMtf9ZJwqmZuzCStbhhKJxZ5x4AiPQx8MFAeyDCC2uWcM3SG5066JP49fj-I7ELCMB4md-HjaSLcQvK_G1NRMDoEvZW7X3mwxNkSEnPv6DkEiXRZuzRZxpxLWA/s320/chex%20mix.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">Ingredients:</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">1 cup peanut

eat with friends! You can also add nuts, granola, M&M’s, chocolate chips, Reese’s
pieces, drizzle some dark chocolate over the top…get creative!</p>

I
use my air fryer pretty much every day but I’m still learning to think outside
the box for ways I can use it. Apparently TikTok knows all the ways so I may
need to start opening that app more often. Anyway, she says they made them in
the air fryer and they were amazing. And then mentions you can do fun things
with them. I had to find out for myself because I am a bread lover! I decided
to do Italian style crescents with mozzarella, Italian seasoning, garlic and
butter. Basic but essential when having pasta, right? I paired these with a
homemade cajun chicken broccoli fettucine alfredo. The combination was amazing!</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTYmPQki7y3uTiV4iW2rj2ee-ym_au5tuATm98KvB6zF03IhUc-6D47u0g4XecHeJRu2ZrtAXMbCOnCGiKQqVYzYFY_uanAk3LdCiNkNUZE7gzhvAMpHM0s_uqyX43xn-bshcvdiBAPHqTJ41iR1FupTF6iePWDkxYH5vwGTWlseu4BeP9g5xO7n1y-A/s640/air%20fryer%20crescent%20rolls.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTYmPQki7y3uTiV4iW2rj2ee-ym_au5tuATm98KvB6zF03IhUc-6D47u0g4XecHeJRu2ZrtAXMbCOnCGiKQqVYzYFY_uanAk3LdCiNkNUZE7gzhvAMpHM0s_uqyX43xn-bshcvdiBAPHqTJ41iR1FupTF6iePWDkxYH5vwGTWlseu4BeP9g5xO7n1y-A/s320/air%20fryer%20crescent%20rolls.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;"><b>INGREDIENTS</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">1 - 8 ounce can
refrigerated crescent rolls<br />1 cup shredded
mozzarella cheese<br />2 tablespoons
butter melted<br />1 tsp garlic
powder</div><div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">1 tsp Italian seasoning</div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>DIRECTIONS</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Spray air fryer basket with
non-stick spray. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic, and Italian
seasoning. Open the crescent rolls and separate the triangles. Add a pinch of
shredded mozzarella cheese to the widest part of the crescents. Roll the
crescents and pinch the ends together so that no cheese spills out. Brush each
crescent with the butter garlic mixture.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Add crescent rolls to air fryer at
375 and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, until golden brown. Air fryers vary so be sure
to check on them halfway through. Once done, remove the crescents from the air
fryer and brush with additional melted butter.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I have so many recipes I want to
try for these crescents now like adding pepperoni, stuffing with buffalo
chicken dip, ham and swiss, jalapeno popper, Nutella and a chocolate syrup drizzle…mind
blown.</p>

I can’t say enough how phenomenal
this pasta dish was. Also, it says 4 servings, but it makes a very large batch.
It ended up being 6 servings for me. I’ve never cooked the spinach this way and
I was nervous it wouldn’t work but it did. New cooking hack! This is definitely
going into my dinner rotation. Also, feel free to add mushrooms or other
veggies that you enjoy too.</p>

very picky. I’m a bread lover to the core but I’ve always been anti-wheat bread
(or pasta or tortillas for that matter). It’s just a nasty taste to me. So when
I saw this recipe on a clean eating website I did not have very high
expectations, despite the great reviews. The bread turned out pretty dense but
it was actually really good! Especially toasted! I sprinkled some everything
but the bagel seasoning on the top before I baked mine. Because there’s no
preservatives, if you’re not going to eat it up in 3-4 days, I would suggest freezing
half and pulling it out as needed. As a party of one, I take out 1/3 of a loaf
from the freezer at a time. I can’t wait to try it as rolls next time to use with
sandwiches.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcGz76FN0FA5bPyjiBMS_8TWCm1GE3inpqJ3Abgb6w57ms6xgf5VD_JCe8vq7cJg6BT-rWSSNcLYPiwb9BhxqHWjH9Q_JH7m_bmN7MV8__h3khiJFKaVaSHyy9pqSHvPFfKR1oV6GGG6gbemeyfyLh_a--bOVHm-iH26flnU0vDY14bZJaXNxxt6QwhQ/s640/4%20ingredient%20bread.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcGz76FN0FA5bPyjiBMS_8TWCm1GE3inpqJ3Abgb6w57ms6xgf5VD_JCe8vq7cJg6BT-rWSSNcLYPiwb9BhxqHWjH9Q_JH7m_bmN7MV8__h3khiJFKaVaSHyy9pqSHvPFfKR1oV6GGG6gbemeyfyLh_a--bOVHm-iH26flnU0vDY14bZJaXNxxt6QwhQ/s320/4%20ingredient%20bread.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p>

noodles before. I know that probably sounds crazy, but I’ve always been a “give
me all the pasta” kind of girl. But this recipe was better than I could’ve
imagined! Easy to make and filled me up fast with barely any carbs. Can’t beat
that! <o:p></o:p></div>

Marinade:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
1/4 cup soy sauce<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
1 tablespoon olive oil<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
1 tablespoon hot sauce (I used Sriracha)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Juice of 1/2 lemon <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Instructions<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
In a ziploc baggie, combine the ingredients for the steak marinade (soy
sauce, olive oil, hot sauce, pepper, and lemon juice) and add the steak bites.
Mix well and marinate for 15 to 20 minutes minimum, while preparing the other
ingredients. I let this marinade for an hour, flipping halfway through. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Drain steak bites
from the marinade. Keep the remaining marinade for later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Place the steak bites in the skillet in a
single layer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do not overcrowd the
skillet or meat will steam, so you may have to work in batches depending on the
size of your skillet. Cook steak bites for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until
steak bites are golden brown. Repeat with remaining steak bites if needed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Once all the steak bites are golden brown, add 2 tablespoons butter and
garlic to the skillet; cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring to coat the meat in the
sauce. Remove the steak bites to a shallow plate and set aside, leaving the juice
in the pan.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Add 1 tbsp butter, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, beef broth, and
remaining marinade juices. Bring to a simmer and allow to reduce for 2-3
minutes, stirring regularly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
If you spiral your own zucchini: add the noodles and toss for two to
three minutes to cook it up. Stir in the fresh parsley and thyme, then allow
the cooking juices to reduce for one minute if the zucchini noodles render too
much water. If you use a steam and serve bag like I did, cook the zucchini as
directed then drain. Add zucchini and coat in the sauce. Push the zucchini
noodles on the side, add the steak bites back to the pan and reheat for another
minute while mixing. Serve immediately your garlic butter steak bites and
zucchini noodles. Enjoy! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Note: I didn’t have any parsley. And my thyme was the dried kind in a
shaker, not fresh. I did add a couple extra shakes of red pepper flakes. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
It’s snowing again. Yes, I know it’s Iowa but I could’ve done without
the last 10 inches of snow we’ve gotten in the last 24 hours. And knowing there
is 6-8 more inches on the way tomorrow has got me in a soup making state of
mind. This is an easy keto soup. And if you like bacon and cream cheese (who
doesn’t?!?) you’ll enjoy this soup no matter what the weather is in your neck
of the woods. (360 calories, 4 net carbs, 28g fat, 20g protein) Makes 5 servings. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Ingredients:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
1 1/2 cups chicken broth <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
1 head of cauliflower or bag of frozen fleurets <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
1 cup spinach <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
1/4 cup cream cheese <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
1/2 cup diced onion <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
2 tbsp butter <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
1 tbsp minced garlic <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
1/2 pound cooked crumbled bacon <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
salt & pepper to taste <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I also added a can of corn which takes it out of the keto category but
added some nice texture and thickened it up <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
In a large pot, add the butter and onions and sauté until clear. Add
the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute. Add the chicken broth,
seasoning and cauliflower to the pot and simmer for about 15 minutes or until
the cauliflower is tender. Carefully pour half or more of the mixture (along
with the cup of spinach) into a blender and pulse a few times until creamy. Place
back on the heat and add the cream cheese. You can add a cup of water or more
chicken broth, depending on your consistency preference.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Simmer for 5-10 minutes or until the cream
cheese is melted and blended nicely. Top with crumbled bacon, chopped green
onion and shredded cheese (I used pepper jack). I also added a couple drops of sriracha
because I like things spicy. <o:p></o:p></div>

Work was a total poop show. And although every ounce of me wanted to opt for pizza and some wine I went with a treadmill workout and healthy dinner. Baby steps. But Lyndee for the win today. I paired this with a 4 oz boneless sirloin chop and it was delicious. Not to mention, super easy to make. 18 minutes starts to finish and it tasted just like a slightly doughy cheesy bread stick from Pizza Hut.<br />

<br />
Ingredients<br />
1 cup mozzarella cheese<br />
1/4 cup parmesan<br />
1 egg<br />
Garlic powder<br />
Italian seasoning<br />
<br />
Preheat over to 350 degrees. Break egg into a bowl and beat. Add a few dashes of garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Stir in the cheeses. Line a cookie sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper. Dumb the "bread" mixture on the paper and spread into a circle. I threw a few squirts of butter spray on top and another dash of garlic but that's optional. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. I did 15 minutes and then a low broil for 1 minute and 30 seconds. That's it! Remove from oven and cut. I did half of the bread for dinner which was 3 carbs. Yes, for half of it. 6 carbs if you wanna eat the entire thing and you probably will want to.LUhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04401065979437205290noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4981718785874772942.post-34075318007005145372018-04-25T05:08:00.000-07:002018-04-25T05:08:08.222-07:00Green Chile Fiesta Chicken Bake<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Ingredients: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
12 baby bell peppers cut lengthwise and seeded<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
2 teaspoons olive oil<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
8 oz package jalapeno cream cheese (if you don't like spicy you can use regular cream cheese) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
2 stalks green onion finely chopped<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
1 clove garlic minced<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
½ teaspoon salt<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
1 teaspoon sriracha<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Ground black pepper<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
1 tbsp bacon pieces <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Shredded cheese (I used Colby Jack) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the bell peppers lengthwise,
remove the seeds and stems. Lightly oil the bell peppers by tossing them in a
bowl with some grapeseed oil or olive oil. Place the peppers on a baking sheet
skin-side down. Roast in the oven for 8-10 minutes until the edges begin to
show some color. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
While the peppers are roasting, prepare your stuffing. Place the cream
cheese, garlic, salt, sriracha and black pepper in a bowl and mix until creamy.
Add the green onion and bacon. Fold in to the cream cheese until combined. Test
the cream cheese for flavor. If you would like, add more salt and/or sriracha. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Heat your oven to 400 degrees. Use a spoon (or a piping bag) to stuff
the peppers liberally and place them back on the baking sheet. Sprinkled with
shredded cheese.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bake about 8 minutes.
Change oven setting to high broil and bake an additional 2 minutes, until the
tops of the cream cheese begin to brown (If they’re already brown at this
point, skip the broiling).<o:p></o:p></div>

When I first saw this idea I was pretty skeptical but I figured if it
works for Rachael Ray, I should give it a shot.
I can honestly say I will probably never make a “normal” grilled cheese
again. This was beyond amazing. A grilled cheese that tastes like stuffed
garlic cheese bread!</div>

Ingredients:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
2 slices of bread<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
2-3 cheese slices (any variety you prefer) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
2 tbsp. mayo<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Garlic powder<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Parmesan <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Italian seasoning <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Mix mayo with a few dashes of garlic powder, parmesan cheese and Italian
seasoning. Heat pan on stove top to medium. Spread mayo mixture on one side of
each piece of bread. Put bread mayo mixture face down, layer on cheese. I used American,
mozzarella and pepper jack. Place other slide of bread on top. Cook until
golden brown on both sides. <o:p></o:p></div>

Wanna step it up a notch? Throw in a few pieces of pepperoni, bacon
bits or jalapenos. This is a total game
changer. <o:p></o:p></div>
