Philly Cheese Steak ZBoats

Image
I don't care who you are or what you say, Philly Cheese Steak is awesome.  I love it.  And it is so easy to make.  Usually when I make them I would just stuff the greasy meat in my LC tortilla wraps.  (Seriously, those things are awesome and perfect for replacing the bun or bread on any sandwich or burger.) Any way.... So I was on Facebook (SHOCKER!) and this video came up for Italian Zucchini Boats .  Of course I made the recipe and it was pretty tasty. So here I am craving some philly cheesesteaks when an idea comes to me.... what if I put the philly steak in zucchini boats!?! So that is what I set out to do.  And can I just mention how much I love first tries turning out to be complete successes??  Because this was one of those times.  Who am I to deny anyone else this delicious success?

Try not to eat em' all LC Meatballs

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...

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...

Who says you can't have spaghetti??

Image
Before starting the LC/Keto lifestyle I LOVED pasta.  And quite frequently spaghetti was my go-to meal because it was fast and simple.  I was a little sad that I could no longer enjoy the hearty, carb filled dish (or any other pasta dish).  But here is where determination comes into play.  As I stated before, I was sure I could continue eating things I loved with some modifications. I was perusing one of the FB groups I'm in for Low Carb/Keto and someone had posted a picture of their dinner.  Spaghetti with sauce and meatballs.  Upon further investigation I saw in the comments she used Spaghetti Squash!  I won't lie.... I would have never tried it under any other circumstances.  But one of the fun things of a new lifestyle is pushing yourself to try new things.  So I set out to find this squash and learn how to make it. Enter Pinterest here.... I'm going to make myself sound real stupid, but I read a ton of stuff on how to cook spaghett...
