Summer is quickly drawing to an end. Potato salad is one of those things that screams summer. Making a low carb version was a must for barbecues. This recipe is quick and easy to whip up, but plan to do it in advance as it is better as the flavors develop in the fridge. It really is a perfect summer side dish.
Chicken nuggets are one of those all time favorite kid foods. Heck, I still love them! Having an option that can easily be pulled out of the freezer and thrown in the air fryer to make a quick dinner is a must around our house. Sometimes our dinner plan takes longer than the kids have patience for, or we have plans that require a grab and go meal. Either way, it’s on those nights that I’m grateful to have these in the freezer. Once frozen, you only need 10-15 mins to get dinner on the table.
I pre-make these any time we are running low and are having another meal with chicken breasts. I buy a pack of chicken much larger than we need for that night, and any chicken that doesn’t go in that nights meal gets made into these and put into the freezer. I already have chicken on my hands, a cutting board dirty, and time while that nights chicken cooks. A little multi tasking one night can save a LOT of time during future meals. Often times I’ll make up 2-3 batches of these at a time.
I’ve always been a big fan of Mexican cuisine, but it is traditionally carb heavy. Tortillas, beans, and Spanish rice may be out when keeping yourself in ketosis, but you won’t even miss them with this filling enchilada bake.
It also makes the perfect weeknight meal because you only need 30 minutes and one pan! There is nothing better than an easy, delicious, and filling meal that also has easy clean up.
Rhubarb is one of those summer treats that brings me back to my childhood. My mom would make pies and crisps that we would all gobble up (topped with ice cream). In fact when we moved, I made sure to bring our rhubarb plants with us. They were originally from our family cottage where we spent the summers swimming and fishing in the Mississippi River. Often enjoying a piece of rhubarb crisp or pie after our adventures of the day. This jam recipe brought me right back to those sun filled days.
Summer isn’t quite over, and fall hasn’t quite begun. This transition time in August makes me want to have the best of both seasons.
Holding on to the sunshine, beaches, and fun of summer while longing for boots, sweaters, and the cozy feel of fall, I found a way to turn a popular pound cake recipe into two very different treats. They both started with this great moist pound cake recipe from Fit to Serve Group
From there, I adjusted to get seasonal flavors of lemon for summer and pumpkin spice (complete with cinnamon cream cheese frosting) for fall! I also made some in mini muffin size to easily replace the chemical tasting mini muffin packages the kids used to love. Just put into snack size baggies for an easy grab and go treat you can feel good giving the kids (or yourself!) You will be amazed at the light moist texture which seems to be hard to find when using low carb flours like almond or coconut.
Fall…Pizza and football: does it get any better? While we love our Better than Fat Head Pizza for traditional pizza flavors, it’s nice to mix it up with some chicken and garlic cream pizza flavors. This one became a quick favorite. Just enough heat from the jalapeños balanced by the creamy garlic sauce.
Fatty coffee is a keto staple, and ice cream is a summer staple. Mixing the two you have the creamiest frozen keto friendly treat! Easily made dairy free too (see substitution below).
While a little more work than the store bought low carb options, I think you’ll find it’s worth it!
Fat filled brownies that will not disappoint! If you are a fan of chocolate, you MUST try these. Chewy and moist. No one would ever guess they are keto friendly.
Tator tots are a midwest must have, but potatoes are a keto no-go. I couldn’t contain my excitement when I came across this recipe. With a few tweaks, it was perfect. They are a great side dish for your bunless burger. I recommend making extra as they are great to freeze! Once baked and cooled, store…
