MAIN DISH: ITALIAN PIZZA SKILLET (click here to print)

Italian Pizza Skillet

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. fresh mild or hot Italian sausage, casings removed
• 5 oz. pepperoni, sliced very thick (about 20 thick slices)
• 1 green and 1 red bell pepper, sliced 
• 1/2 small onion, diced
• 6 oz. fresh mushrooms (if desired)
• 6 oz. black olives (if desired)
• Handful of sliced banana peppers (if desired)
• 1/3 C fresh parmesan cheese
• 1/2 C shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2-3/4 C dry white wine
• 2 T olive oil
• 1 tsp. dried basil (or 3 T fresh chopped basil)
• 1/4 tsp. garlic powder (or 1 T chopped fresh garlic)
• 1 T tomato paste 
• 2 tsp. balsamic vinegar (optional)

Directions:

1. Place olive oil, onions and garlic in a pan (I used a dutch oven) over medium heat. Sautee for a minute or two.

2. Add in the sausage, crumbling it up as it cooks. About halfway through the sausage cooking, add in the pepperoni slices. Continue to cook for about 10 minutes over medium heat. 

3. When the sausage is all brown, add in the mushrooms, peppers, olives, banana peppers, basil and vinegar. Stir well.

4. Cook the mixture well. It's OK if some sticks to the bottom of the pan (that's flavor, baby!). 

5. When the veggies have softened and most of the water from the vegetables has evaporated, turn heat to medium-high and deglaze pan with white wine (I used a Pinot Grigio). Stir well and cook wine down mostly, then add in the tomato paste. Stir well to distribute the tomato paste. 

6. Add in the parmesan, then continue to simmer the mixture over medium high heat for about two minutes, or until the cheese melts. 

7. Turn heat to low and top mixture with shredded mozzarella. Allow to melt, then serve.

MAIN DISH: CHEESEY TUNA "NOODLE" CASSEROLE (click here to print)

Cheesy Tuna "Noodle" Casserole Ingredients:

• 3 cans of chunk light or albacore tuna in water (15 oz.)
• 2 medium zucchini, spiralized  or sliced into pasta-sized shapes (I used a Veggetti spiralizer)
• 2 C broccoli florets, chopped relatively small and microwaved or steamed for about 5 minutes. 
• 2 C cauliflower florets, chopped relatively small and microwaved or steamed for about 5 minutes.
• 2 C + 1/4 C shredded sharp cheddar cheese (shredded from a block of cheese)
  
• 1/2 a small onion, finely chopped
• 2/3 C heavy whipping cream
• 1 1/3 C almond milk, unsweetened 
•  1/8 tsp. xanthan gum) thickener
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
• 2 T butter
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper
• 1 T olive or coconut oil
• 1 tsp. chopped parsley (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

2. In a large sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add in chopped onions and sautee for just one or two minutes, then add in arrowroot powder. Use a spatula to create an onion-containing roux until the rue is a nice golden brown.

3. Pour in the cream and almond milk into the pan and whisk until well mixed. Allow mixture to get hot and begin to bubble along the sides of the pan. Once that happens, turn heat to low. 

4. Stir in garlic powder, red pepper flakes, parsley and salt, then add in 2 C shredded cheese. Use your spatula and stir the mixture constantly until a thick sauce is created. You shouldn't see any shredded cheese in the sauce and the sauce shouldn't stick too much to your whisk--that's how you'll know it's done. Set the sauce aside (I moved my pan toward the back of my stove top to the oven vent to keep it warm). 

5. In a large pan, sauté the spriraled or sliced zucchini in olive or coconut oil over medium heat for about five minutes, or until the zucchini becomes more tender. Remove from heat. 

6. Drain tuna cans. Combine zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower and tuna in a large casserole dish and stir until everything is evenly mixed. 

7. Pour cheese sauce over the top of the vegetable and fish mixture. Stir lightly to assure that everything is evenly coated. 

8. Top the casserole with 1/4 C shredded cheese and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until mixture is hot and bubbly and cheese on top is golden. 

9. Let casserole stand for 10 minutes before serving. 

Makes about 6 servings.

BREAKFAST: BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE COFFEE CAKE (click here to print)

This delicious low-carb coffee cake is very filling, since it's made with almond meal. If you don't like cream cheese, you can leave out that layer, or use less cream cheese (see below). It is also delicious with raspberries instead of blueberries.

Ingredients

• 3 cups almond meal
• 1 ½ cups sugar substitute (liquid or powdered, see below)
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ cup butter (4 Tablespoons), chilled and cut into small pieces
• ½ cup sour cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or 1 teaspoon each vanilla and almond extracts
• 2 Tablespoons oil
• 6 oz. cream cheese
• Salt
• 1 cup fresh or frozen (but not thawed) blueberries or raspberries

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°. Butter or oil 9X9 inch pan (cooking spray is fine).

Coffee cake is prepared in three layers. If you are using a standing mixer, you can use the same bowl if you make the layers in the order listed - just remove them to separate bowls until ready to assemble.

1. Streusel Topping: Mix 1 cup of the almond meal, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ cup sweetener, a pinch of salt and the 4 Tablespoons butter. I find that the whisk type attachment on my standing mixer works well - you want the mixture to stay crumbly. You can use a pastry blender, knives - whatever works. But if it all clumps together, don't worry - just crumble it over the top when the time comes. This is one area where I used to use powdered sweetener, but I have found more recently that liquid sucralose (zero carbs; no aftertaste) works fine.

1. Cream Cheese Layer: Mix cream cheese, 1 egg, and ¼ cup sweetener. If you want a thinner layer of cream cheese, you can use 4 oz. instead of 6. The mixture won't be as thick and will pour more evenly over the cake layer.
2. Cake layer: Mix dry ingredients: 2 cups of almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, ¼ ½ teaspoon cinnamon, teaspoon salt, and ¾ cup sweetener if you are using a powder. Then add the sour cream, oil, extracts, liquid sweetener if that's what you're using sour cream, and 2 eggs and mix well. At this point, you might want to add 1-2 Tablespoons of water, depending on the consistency. You want the batter to be thick enough to support the rest of it, but not too gloppy - you should be able to spread it easily in the pan. I usually end up adding about a Tablespoon of water.
3. Assembly: Spread the cake layer in the pan, and spread the cream cheese on top (if it's the larger amount of cream cheese, you won't be able to spread it evenly, but that's OK). Then sprinkle the blueberries on the cream cheese and the streusel on the top of that.

1. Bake for about half an hour, or until toothpick not inserted into a berry comes out clean. If you use a thermometer, it should be about 155° F. in the center.
2. Cool and slice. It is filling, so I usually cut it into 16 pieces.

BROWNIES: PROTEIN POWDER BROWNIES (click here to print)

                               

                                        I found these kind of dry so I added sour cream but they still were dry. I would add another egg next time. You can also add chopped walnuts to the batter. When cooled slice and serve with a dollop of real whipping cream. 3 carbs and 100 calories.
Ingredients
1/4 cup gluten free oat fiber
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup Whey Chocolate Protein Powder (use the one with 0 carbs or sugars) like Isopure
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce(don't use for Keto)
1/2 cup sour cream or plain unsweetened yogurt
1 egg
2 tablespoon honey (Honey Tree artificial honey from walmart)
1 teaspoon almond extract
2/3 cup Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla or Chocolate Almond Milk
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1/4 cup chocolate chips, plus 2 tablespoons for topping (sugar free)
1/2 cup raspberries, broken up into large pieces

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 8x8 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Transfer oat fiber to medium bowl then whisk in protein powder and cocoa powder; set aside.(I used oat fiber instead of oat powder 0 carbs)
Whisk together applesauce, egg, honey, vanilla and almond milk until smooth and well combined. Add to dry ingredients and mix together until just combined.
Heat coconut oil and 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips in a small saucepan over very low heat; stir continuously until all chocolate chips and coconut oil have melted together. (You can also heat them in a microwave safe bowl for 30-45 seconds.) Gently stir into brownie batter.
Pour mixture into prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips and raspberries on top; sometimes I like to swirl them in the batter with a knife. Bake for 18-22 minutes(I baked mine about 30 minutes) or until just cooked through and the top has set. Transfer pan to wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, cut into 12 bars -- please note that bars should be kept covered in the refrigerator and enjoyed cold!  12 slices; 3 carbs

ARTICLE: PASS THE BUTTER PLEASE (click here to print)

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back.
It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings....
DO YOU KNOW.. The d...ifference between margarine and butter?
Read on to the end...gets very interesting!
Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams; compared to5 grams for margarine.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few and only because they are added!
Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.
Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years.
And now, for Margarine..
Very High in Trans fatty acids.
Triples risk of coronary heart disease ...
Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)
Increases the risk of cancers up to five times..
Lowers quality of breast milk
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.
And here's the most disturbing fact... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC... and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT
These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).
Open a tub of margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will notice a couple of things:
* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no value ; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny micro-organisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic. Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?
Share This With Your Friends.....(If you want to butter them up')!
Chinese Proverb:
When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.

MAIN DISH: SAUSAGE DOGS (click here to print)

Recipe Name: Sausage Dogs
Estimated Prep Time: 45
Ingredient List and Amount used: 8 jumbo eggs
2 cups of shredded Parmesan cheese
1 cup of Almond Flour
1/2 cup of Sour Cream
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
Pinch of salt
Recipe instructions: In a blender or food processor whip the eggs until light, add in the sour cream and Parmesan cheese and continue to blend on high until well mixed. Add in the Almond flour and salt and blend well. You will add the baking soda when you are ready to pour out the batter. The baking soda will react immediately making this dough rise. I used the mini loaf pans, well greased on the bottom and sides. The sausage was cut to length, heated in the microwave and then fried in a skillet. You want the sausage hot when you pour in the batter. Be sure to center them in the middle. The batter will make 8 sausage dogs.  Bake 400 for 15 minutes then reduce the heat to 350 for an additional 15 minutes.
General Comments : The nutrients are for the batter only, everyone will have their favorite sausage with varying nutritional levels. I used Johnsonville Sausage with no fillers so it was less than 1 gram of carbs per serving.
