1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon ground dried thyme
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Mix all the spices. Toss 4 chicken breasts in the mix in a ziplock bag. Make sure all sides of each piece are coated.

Brown chicken in oven safe pan. Finish off in oven. Serve with noodles and Alfredo sauce.

I used hearts of palm linguini to make it keto friendly. I also added sautéed mushrooms.

Keto breakfast sandwiches (with fathead dough)
 
4 Attachment(s)
Keto Meal prep/breakfast with fathead dough.

Fathead dough rolls. They freeze and reheat really well. I make several batches at a time. Super easy and they’re a good snack.

Breakfast sandwiches: Fathead rolls, hot jimmy dean sausage, cheese. You can add egg but I’m not a huge fan of eggs. Anyhow, these are super heart, so I froze one. They freeze well.

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

INSTRUCTIONS
  • Preheat the oven to 425°
  • In a small bowl, add cream cheese and mozzarella. Microwave on high for 20 seconds at a time until melted.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk egg until beaten. Add dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Work mozzarella/cc mixture into dough. Dough will be sticky. Stir in cheddar cheese.
  • Spoon dough onto plastic wrap. Dust the top of it with almond flour.
  • Fold the plastic wrap over the dough and gently start working into a ball.
  • Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Cut dough ball into 4. Roll each section into a ball. Cut the ball in half. This is your top and bottom bun
  • Sit cut side down on parchment paper or very well greased sheet pan.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden and set up.

This dough is also good rolled out and used as pizza crust. (Prebake and then top) You can also make these as sweet dessert rolls. (Google that.)

Asian fusion tacos? Keto style.

I don’t know. I’m making shit up sometimes.

Fried chicken with faux “bread” crumbs. (Pork rinds, cashew flour, grated parm cheese. Toss in food processor.) Avocado oil. You can also use almond flour in place of cashew flour.

Spicy peanut sauce. (Natural/no sugar added PB, chili garlic sauce, monk fruit, shoyu, rice vinegar, few dashes of sesame seed oil)

Sliced cabbage. Sriracha. Low carb tortillas.

The low carb tortillas are considered “dirty” keto but I enjoy them now and then. 😉

And I’m packing up leftover chicken for the freezer. It reheats nice and crispy in the oven. I’m a food prepper. I usually cook on the weekend and freeze for the week.

White Keto Lasagna

White Keto Lasagna

Used palmini lasagna sheets to make it keto friendly.

Sautéed some spinach with olive oil and minced garlic, salt/pepper.

Rao’s Alfredo sauce with chicken and mushrooms. Used rotisserie chicken for convenience. Sautéed mushrooms, added chicken, added sauce, heat up for a minute. I kept it on the thicker side with the chicken.

I use cottage cheese for the parm/cheese/egg/parsley mixture because I don’t really care for ricotta. (Actually, I was out of parsley.)

Layered it up. Noodles, cheese mixture, sauce, spinach, mozzarella cheese, repeat. Tossed in the oven at 400 (425 convection) for about 30 minutes. Covered for the first 20 uncovered for the last 10.

Parmesan topped Mahi. Followed this recipe but used less than ½ the mayo that it called for. Same amount of parm and garlic powder.

Thanks!

When I cook, I always make enough to last a few days, plus enough to freeze some. Makes it easier during busy nights/weeks.

You name it, I can probably cook it. Or I can learn to cook it. :D

I love cooking. And baking. Christmas cookie time is a big deal here, too. :D Not very keto, though.

This past Christmas was…

✔️ Pistachio nut bread
✔️ Oatmeal with rum soaked raisins (soaked overnight for a little bite)
✔️ Peanut butter kiss cookies
✔️ Scottish shortbread
✔️ Orange and walnut Russian tea cakes
✔️ Spicy, candied pecans
