dairy free – MNKetoMom https://mnketomom.com Sat, 24 Aug 2019 14:48:19 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.2 https://mnketomom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/cropped-IMG_0131-6-32x32.png dairy free – MNKetoMom https://mnketomom.com 32 32 Turtle Ice Cream https://mnketomom.com/2019/08/24/turtle-ice-cream/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=turtle-ice-cream https://mnketomom.com/2019/08/24/turtle-ice-cream/#respond Sat, 24 Aug 2019 14:28:21 +0000 https://mnketomom.com/?p=1564 ]]> Paired with an avocado brownie, this ice cream is the perfect way to say good bye to summer. Creamy, chunky, salty, and sweet…what more can you ask for!?

Ingredients:

  • 4 whole eggs
  • 4 egg yokes
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup erythritol (or other low glycemic sweetener.  I use this.)
  • 1/4 cup MCT oil
  • 4 Tbsp vanilla
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or Coconut milk for a dairy free version!)
  • 2 Tbsp vodka or vegetable glycerin (keeps the ice cream soft enough to scoop)
  • 1/4 cup Salted Caramel Sauce (Recipe Found: HERE)
  • 1/2 cup Lily’s Chocolate Chips
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions:

  1. Microwave coconut oil until melted. Set aside to cool.
  2. Mix eggs, coconut oil, erythritol, MCT oil, vanilla, salt, cream, and vodka together in blender adding the coconut oil in last.
  3. Blend for 3-5 mins on high to ensure all ingredients are incorporated and oil has emulsified.
  4. Add mixture to ice cream maker and run until it starts to thicken.
  5. Once mix has thickened, add in nuts and chocolate chips.
  6. Drizzle in caramel. If your caramel is still warm you may not reach ice cream consistency.
  7. Pour into storage container and let the freezer do the rest of the work. I like to use a glass pyrex like this.

I’ve only ever made this using an ice cream maker. You can just pour into a glass container and freeze, but I love the light texture the ice cream maker provides. After trying multiple different styles, I found that this one: Cuisinart ICE-21 1.5 Quart Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream Maker (White) has worked the best for me.  Less messy than the ice and salt types, and easy to clean parts!

My Egg Roll in a Bowl https://mnketomom.com/2018/09/19/my-egg-roll-in-a-bowl/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=my-egg-roll-in-a-bowl https://mnketomom.com/2018/09/19/my-egg-roll-in-a-bowl/#comments Wed, 19 Sep 2018 13:48:15 +0000 https://mnketomom.com/?p=579 ]]> Egg Roll in a Bowl was one of the first low carb meals I made.  There are tons of different recipes out there for it, but I found ways to make it more convenient  to throw together during the week on busy nights.  Whenever we make this, I make a double batch.  We end up eating it multiple times in the week, and I like it even better the next day after the flavors have mingled in the fridge.

Enjoy!

Kid Approved Chicken Nuggets https://mnketomom.com/2018/09/04/kid-approved-chicken-nuggets/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=kid-approved-chicken-nuggets https://mnketomom.com/2018/09/04/kid-approved-chicken-nuggets/#comments Tue, 04 Sep 2018 16:15:14 +0000 https://mnketomom.com/?p=424 ]]> 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.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 pounds chicken breast cut into nugget size

1 cup crushed Pork Rinds

1 Tbsp Garlic Powder

1 Tbsp Onion Powder

1 Tbsp Parsley Flake

2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast

OPTIONAL:

Directions:

  1. Cut chicken breast into nugget sized pieces.
  2. In gallon zip top bag, put all other ingredients.
  3. Shake to mix.
  4. Add chicken and shake to cover.
  5. If freezing: spread nuggets out within the zip top bag and lay flat in freezer to prevent them from freezing together.  Once frozen, they no longer need to be stored flat.
  6. Cooking: place desired number of nuggets into air fryer. Turn on to 370* for 10-15 mins flipping half way through.  An oven could also be used for cooking, but I love the crispiness that come from the air fryer.

Keto Avocado Brownies https://mnketomom.com/2018/08/07/keto-brownie-cookies/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=keto-brownie-cookies https://mnketomom.com/2018/08/07/keto-brownie-cookies/#respond Wed, 08 Aug 2018 03:28:05 +0000 https://mnketomom.com/?p=152 ]]> 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.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup erythritol (or other low glycemic sweetener.  I use this.)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (Check ingredients. You’ll want one that is just peanuts and salt)
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla
  • 4 Tbsp almond flour (My favorite is this)
  • 1 T and 1 tsp beef gelatin (Find it here)
  • 1/2 tsp liquid sweetener (This is one I like)
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup Lily’s Chocolate Chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Mix all ingredients together

For Brownies:

  1. Spray pan with non stick spray. I use this pan to make individual brownies, but you can easily use a 8×8, 9×9, or a 9×13 depending on how thick you like your brownies.  
  2. Bake for approx. 20 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean.

For Cookies:

  1. Line cookie sheet with silicone mat or parchment paper. Bonus that this makes it easy to clean up!
  2. Scoop out cookies with 1 inch space between. I love this tool: Cookie Scoop
  3. Using the back of a spoon, spread cookies out so they are flat.  They will not spread when baking.
  4. Bake for 12-15 mins.
  5. Move to cooling rack immediately and store in the refrigerator once cooled.
