Try not to eat em' all LC Meatballs

Image
Ok.  So one of the things I made Low Carb right away was some meatballs.  I didn't really make meatballs much before that.  I bought already made ones in the meat section, not the frozen because those are gross and always taste funny.  But I didn't buy those very often.  I don't know why, honestly. Anyway, my husband came home from a work party and was raving over this guy's meatballs.  He even got the recipe from him for me to make them.  As I looked over the recipe the only thing I noticed that was different from regular meatballs was that he added shredded cheddar cheese.  So I began making these meatballs.  And then I went low carb.  Well, of course the only thing that needed changing was instead of breadcrumbs I use almond flour.  Super simple.  It's the exact same thing I do for meatloaf. Well I went to make meatballs one day and I didn't have enough hamburger meat to make the amount of meatballs I would need.  S...

Delicious LC Chips

As a Low Carber for the past year, one of the hardest situations I've come across is being at a get-together that has chips and dip and not being able to really snack on any of it. I LOVE buffalo chicken dip and pepperoni dip and spinach dip.  And honestly, most of those are low carb/keto friendly.  But do you know how weird it feels eating dip with a spoon???  Oh yes, I do know! So for a recent party I offered to make the buffalo chicken dip.  I made up my mind I was going to make some LC chips for me to enjoy the dip.  I decided I was going to make two different kinds, so I looked in my cupboard for some spices.  The first one I grabbed was garlic pepper seasoning.  The second I grabbed was Ranch seasoning (I have a big container) and then I eyed the cajun seasoning and thought they would go well together. So here was my set up: I put some Extra Virgin Olive Oil (You can use melted butter too) in a cup and used a silicone brush to brush i...

Super Delicious Z-Fries

So the other night I made burgers.  And of course, with burger I made french fries.... for everyone else, of course.  Ya know, since I'm LC and not eating starch or anything too carby. So I made myself some zucchini fries.  I honestly could eat these on the daily for the rest of my life. Thankfully, I have a friend who has a friend who has a garden.  She gave me a couple of zucchinis her garden friend gave her.  Have you ever had zucchini from a home garden??  They are GINORMOUS.  No lie.  Store bought zucchini pales in comparison to home grown (not to mention zero pesticides).  Guess who will be starting her own garden next spring???  This girl!! Anyway... So I basically just threw this together.  I've looked at multiple recipes so I had a good idea what to do.  And with my trusty air fryer these were cooked to perfection. So the first step is so create the breading.  I used: 1/2 Cup Almond Flour 1/2 Cup Grated...
