I love loaded seafood potatoes with tons of butter, fresh seafood, cheese, and sour cream. These days I wanted to lighten it up just a little. Here is what I used- Per 2 toasts- 4 oz shrimp cooked in a butter garlic sauce. You can cheat and buy a garlic butter to melt, or make your own with butter or butter substituted and minced garlic. Heat up but don’t burn. Have your shrimp rinsed and dried and seasoned well. I used old bay and garlic salt. After the butter mixture is warm cook your shrimp on medium heat flipping once. For a total of about 6/8 mins. In the meantime I took sweet potato slices or “toast” and threw that in the air fryer. They come out perfect at 350/13 mins. I added the shrimp scampi to the potato skin and added thin provolone cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Perfection. 2 is the perfect size! These are perfect for a recovery dinner, as an appetizer or a lunch. Yum!
This recipe varies all over the Internet but here is my version.
2.5 cups of shredded chicken
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup Frank’s buffalo sauce
3/4 cup ranch
1 bag of cheddar cheese.
Save yourself some time and just use rotisserie chicken! Combine all ingredients into crockpot. Cook on low for 2 -3 hours . To brown, broil on low for 5-10 minutes in oven.
I am eating my portion with a low carb tortilla, carrots and pork rinds. Another great low carb option would be celery.
I hit two stores today to try to get the best deals. I saved about 125 dollars total.
Strawberries, shrooms, Roma tomatoes, broccoli, chopped salad, and romaine.
Asparagus and buy one get one free frozen green beans. Muscle milk was on sale so I picked this up. It’s the only flavor I like. Eggs, blue cheese stuffed olives, heavy cream, butter, buy one get one free string cheese, Parmesan, veggie cream cheese. Snack sized mozzarella and Brie. B1g1 free pork loin chops and spare ribs. Roast beef, turkey, ham, American cheese. B1g1 chicken. B1g1 bacon, wild large shrimp, and sirloin steak.
B1g1 turkey burgers Salsa, b1g1 sauce, and p3’s. Tulips!
I rarely buy Atkins products but they were b1g1 and I had coupons so I stocked up.
Made with wild honey, natural banana, and chocolate. I literally only got 2 bites of this. He would not share. Perfect for a quick healthy sweet treat, or on a piece of toast.
Cookie Nookie
Made with cookie dough, honey, and chocolate chips. I loved this one! I used it to make frozen peanut butter balls! Sweet but not overly sweet. Just the right balance.
Razzle Dazzle
Made with wild honey, white and semi chocolate chips, and raspberries. I am not a huge fan of raspberries if I am being honest, but I would still eat this! Not overly raspberry. Sweet from the chocolate.
The nutritional stats are great and the company is small. This means fresh batches of the yummiest peanut butter every single time.
Who doesn’t love a thick New York style bagel smothered in cream cheese, topped with velvety ribbons of perfectly smoked salmon? Add a mimosa and this girl right here is in heaven. I love a good old fashioned lox bagel!
Unfortunately for me, if I look at a bagel I will gain 10 lbs. I am not even kidding. So I had to come up with a simple way to get my lox craving in without killing my 30 carbs a day “diet”. This is so simple it hurts. Yet so GOOD!!
The best thing about recreating this meal was that 2/3 items are basically carb free. Cream cheese can have 1-2 carbs in it which is totally fine. If you want to use cream cheese, use cream cheese. There are no rules here! 🙂 But I took it a step further. I used the following.
Warning- this literally took forever to make!! Next warning- It was sooooooooo worth it and delish!!
I know I am late to the cauliflower crust party but I had to jump on board. I have collected a million recipes and just went with the most simple one.
Ingredients for crust- 1 head of cauliflower, 1 egg, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, and spices like oregano and a bit of sea salt. Also, toppings. I used mozzarella, pepperoni, yellow pepper, and mushrooms.
Clean and cut cauliflower into florets. Use a food processor or a blender and rice your cauliflower into little pieces. Do small batches. I had to do about 6. If you don’t have a food processor or blender, start chopping with a knife? Good Luck!
Riced cauliflower! Now you are on your way. Boil about one inch of water.
Boiling water!
Add rice in and cover. Let cook for four minutes.
Now comes the fun part (not really). We have to strain the cauliflower. I started with a simple mesh strainer and switched to paper towels to really press out the water. You have to get the cauliflower rice completely dry or you will have a crappy crust!
Most people use a tea towel. I had no such thing. One whole roll of paper towels gone and finally the rice was dry!
Add one egg, cheese, and seasonings to bowl. A sprinkle of oregano, and a bit of sea salt.
Add rice in. Use your hands and mix all the ingredients.
Your oven should be on 400. Layer parchment paper on a baking sheet. Shape your dough into whatever shape you want. We made a slightly higher crust for a more pizza effect.
Bake in your 400 degree oven for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Pull it out.
Pick your toppings! I loved this boarshead pepperoni, mushroom, and yellow pepper slice combo.
Put your sauce on. We kept ours super light to avoid carbs 🙂
Top with your cheese and toppings. Put back into your 400 degree oven for 5 or so minutes or until pizza cheese is bubbling.
All done. I am so impressed with this crust.
Pizza you can hold and everything!! MMM.
I give this pizza a 10/10. I will for sure be making this crust again. Being on low carb this crust is a miracle. It’s amazing!
