Loaded "Potatoes" using Cauliflower Rice - Recipe

Cauliflower rice can be hard to work with. The objective is to alter both the flavor and the texture. Now that I've mastered those things, riced cauliflower is one of my most often used ingredients and accompanies most meals. 

 I'm a huge fan of Bird's Eye Riced Cauliflower in the Steamfresh bag. Just follow the directions on the bag and throw it in the microwave, so easy. But, I wouldn't stop there. It needs more help. 

 I love a loaded baked potato and I set out to find a keto alternative. After steaming the 10oz bag of cauliflower rice according to directions, add to a sauce pan with 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/4 cup of chicken broth (or beef or vegetable broth), heat over medium-low heat covered for a few minutes, and uncovered for a few minutes until liquid is absorbed, stir occasionally and season with salt and pepper along the way, let cool uncovered for a few minutes. 

 Now that you have your baked potato alternative, top with your favorites such as:

 Crumbled bacon
Sour Cream
Shredded Cheese
Diced Green Onion
Salsa

This semester we will be able to eat dinner together, a late 9pm-ish dinner. I'll definitely be posting some of these fantastic dinners soon.

Zucchini Lasagna - Recipe

Image
I wasn't expecting to like a noodle free lasagna but, I believe this is every bit as good and satisfying as a non-keto version. The secret is to slice the zucchini thin (using a mandoline slicer like this one  is a must) and then to lightly cook each slice to remove excess moisture and soften. The lasagna cut easily and maintained layering for the most part. Creamy, meaty, yummy. Ingredients: 2-3 medium Zucchini (italian squash) 14oz Full Fat Ricotta Cheese 2 Eggs 16oz Shredded Mozzerella Cheese 28oz Marinara Sauce (low sugar) 1lb Ground Beef 2oz Parmesan Flakes (the good kind) Trim off ends and thinly slice zucchini lengthwise using a mandoline slicer . Discard first and last slices as they are mostly skin. Gently warm each slice, on both sides, using a nonstick pan  like this one , until they start to develop a hint of color. Set aside to cool. Spread a few tablespoons of the marinara in the bottom of the lasagna pan. Add first layer of zucchini slices to bottom...

Happy New Year!!!  So I have a confession... I fell off the Keto wagon. It started with a bit of food poisioning from Korean BBQ and it kind of morphed into the "Holiday Excuse".
