Keto Sriracha Avocado Sauce

Very flavorful, all you need is a ninja or food blender. This is a thick and rich sauce that works wonderfully in hot foods as well as with cold foods too. If you like spice, this is the sauce for you. No need to spend tons of money on a bottle when you can make it so easily yourself.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Fresh garlic and ginger works best.
  • Add your garlic, ginger, apple cider vinegar, avocado, red chili pepper, oil, salt and black pepper.
  • Blend together until smooth.
  • Add to your favorite snacks or dinners!

Notes

Will last for a day in fridge. Honestly, it would probably last for a couple of day’s but I’m sure it would be gone before than.

What You Need

Instructions

Turn oven tempter to 350 degrees F.

  • Clean and cut the florets. Steam the florets for 10 minutes over medium heat or until soft. 
  • To make sauce pour the heavy cream in a heavy bottom pot. Add the cream cheese, mustard powder, smoked paprika, garlic, white pepper and whisk. 
  • Add the 1 cup of cheddar to the cheese sauce and mix until melted. 
  • Remove the florets from the heat and put in a baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the florets.
  • Sprinkle on the smoked paprika, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and bacon. Save the green onions until after you take out of the oven.
  • Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

Notes

I prefer to steam the florets because it's the easiest and fastest way to have dinner on the table in less than thirty minutes. The cauliflower holds water if you boil it. I have also baked it before adding the cheese sauce and it seems like a lot of unnecessary work and time.
I like using the mustard powder because it compliments the cheese sauce without the vinegar from regular bottled mustard. 
Depending on what kind of cheese you use you may or may not need the arrowroot powder. For example the pre-shredded cheese has thickeners in it to keep it from sticking together, you won't need the arrowroot but if you're like me and you shred your own quality grass fed cheese you may want that tsp of arrowroot powder. I've made it without just to see and it's not as thick. It really isn't something to worry about if you don't have arrowroot handy. 
I also tried mascarpone cheese in this recipe instead of cream cheese and it was so delicious creamy and rich.

Keto Chicken Alfredo Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 Pound Chicken Chopped
  • 1 Head Cauliflower Chopped and steamed
  • 1 Onion Chopped
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 Tbsp Regular Butter
  • 10 Oz Cream Cheese
  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 3/4 Cup Parmesan cheese Fresh
  • 4-5 Garlic cloves chopped
  • 2 Tsp Arrowroot powder optional
  • 2 Tsp Basil Dry (optional)
  • 1 Pinch Fresh Parsley To top it with

Instructions

  • I use avocado oil, but substitute any oil that you like. Chop all of the veggies first and set them aside. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.  
  • In a big pan over medium heat, add your oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and chicken. Season the chicken and with salt and pepper to your liking.
  • Let cook most of the way through before adding the garlic in and let cook about five minutes longer. Then, add the cream cheese, heavy cream and parmesan cheese and mix well.
  • Steam the cauliflower at this point; it will not take long at all.
  • Once the sauce is at a light bubble, add in the basil and arrowroot, mixing well to melt the cheeses.
  • Add in your steamed cauliflower and let cook for another 5 minutes or until needed.
  • Do not cook the cauliflower with the sauce because the cauliflower holds too much water and you will have runny sauce.

Keto Lasagna

tasty Leave a comment

How many of the keto-style cabbage lasagna recipes have you tried and come away with underwhelmed? Well, this Italian girl is here to bring out the full flavor in this classic dish while keeping your insulin level low!

Our family loves full flavored dishes, so this recipe includes healthy portions of prebiotic garlic and onion that you’ll cook along with whatever grass fed meat you want for the filling.

One thing I did find with this recipe was that you would be better off making smaller pieces of the cabbage instead of leaving it as whole leaves. It will not cut with a fork like you would think. Unless you prefer using a knife with every bite, cut the leaves into pieces to make for an experience close to the real thing!

Let me know what you think in the comments below, and pig out keto-style!

Keto Lasagna

Ingredients

  • 1 Pound Beef/lamb
  • 32 Oz Ricotta Cheese
  • 1 Head Cabbage
  • 1 Onion
  • 2-4 Garlic Cloves
  • 2 Cups Parmesan Cheese
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1/4 Cup parsley
  • 1/3 Cup Italian seasoning
  • 25 Oz Pasta Sauce I used organic roasted garlic
  • 30 Oz Mozzarella

Instructions

  • Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes, for the last five minutes turn up temp to 450 to brown the top! This recipe will make 10 huge servings.
  • Start by browning the onions, garlic and beef (we used lamb and it was so good) in gee or butter. While thats going, start to boil some water for your cabbage. Once your water is at a boil, add in cabbage. Boil cabbage until it looks like it's falling apart.
  • Add the ricotta, parmesan, Italian seasonings, 3 eggs and parsley to a bowl and mix well then set aside. Once your meat has browned, add in the sauce and cook on low while you dry and cut the cabbage. Then you are ready to assemble this lasagna!
  • This is the fun part and you can really do it up how you like. I put down some meat sauce first, then some cabbage and on top of that some cheese. Repeat until it's amazing. I did wait to add all the mozzarella on top with some extra parmesan.
  • Note: if you do not dry the cabbage well you will have watery lasagna. You can make this recipe without cabbage also, I would just add more cheese layers and or different veggies… Just slice em up! Yummy!
