Taco Shells



This is by far the coolest trick I learned through Pinterest. Lay a slice of Provolone cheese on a piece of parchment and place on a microwave safe dish. Microwave for 1 minute or until the cheese is golden brown, but not burnt. (On my microwave it took about 1 min 18 sec.) Take it out of the microwave and using the parchment paper for help hang the cheese over a butter knife for 30 seconds to create the shape of your taco shell. Then peel off the parchment paper. Viola! Taco Shell! The above photo is a picture of Kevin's second serving of tacos. He thought dinner was so cool he had to try it out for himself.

Feta Chicken Patties

My super awesome friend Angie sent me this recipe. I can't wait to try it.

1 lb Ground Chicken
2 T Golden Ground Flax
1 Egg
2 oz Feta Cheese
1/4-1/2 Green Pepper, diced and precooked
1 tsp Dry Ranch Seasoning
Salt and Pepper

Here is what she said about it.
"Mix all ingredients. (with hands) Pile into whoopie pie pan. I made 8. Cook at 350 for 35-40 minutes until chicken reaches 170 degrees with meat thermometer. That was it. I only used the green pepper because I had it left over and I didn't want to waste it. I think this would be yummy if you added mushrooms and any type of cheese. These are super easy to make and they are the perfect size for a flax bun."

The UNwhich

Eating out doesn't have to be hard on the Keto Diet. We've discovered a few places that will cater to your food needs while you are on the road or in a hurry!

Our recent favorite place to dine is Jimmy Johns! What you are looking at is called the "Unwich" this one in particular is the LuLu sandwich... Unwiched! (no bread for those low carb lovers!)


OR make it at home: This was my version of the Unwiched LuLu!

Turkey
bacon
provolone
tomato
mayo
lettuce leaves

... not as pretty but very delicious!

Keto Cart Salad

This is one of my favorite-go-to salads.
In September I took an afternoon to go visit my husband, Justin, at work. We decided to grab some lunch. He said he knew JUST the place. There was a darling old lady, with a lunch cart perched on the sidewalk of the busy streets of Denver. This was her Chicken Salad. I was in love! So simple, so fresh... and super easy to make at home! Hope you enjoy!

Mixed spring greens (large box found at Costco in refrigerated area)
Cherry Tomatoes
Grilled/baked chicken
Red onion
Feta Cheese

Dressing-- I prefer Ranch. Justin prefers Balsamic Vinaigrette... minus the Feta, of course!

Shrimp, Mushroom and Feta Salad


Shrimp, Mushroom and Feta Salad

Sometimes you just need a fast meal. When I was at the store today I decided to pick up some already steamed shrimp that was seasoned with OldBay seasoning. I used that as my inspiration for a new salad. I wasn't sure where I was going with it so the mushrooms were added last. This salad was so good I didn't even need dressing. Hope you like it.

3oz Pre-Cooked and Seasoned Shrimp
1 cup Sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms
1 T Butter
2 cups cut Romaine
1 oz Crumbled Feta Cheese

Saute the mushrooms with the butter about 5 minutes on medium high heat; stir occasionally. While your mushrooms are cooking put your romaine on your plate and top with Shrimp. Allow you mushrooms to cool slightly then place on the romaine and shrimp. Sprinkle with feta.
