Keto Fajitas and Easy Spanish Cauliflower Rice




 Keto Fajitas and Easy Spanish Cauliflower Rice

  This was okay. I felt like the fajitas were really lacking flavor, and I don't know why. I followed the recipe but it seemed kinda bland, and the recipe looked like it would be flavorful. I must have messed up somewhere lol. We topped the fajitas with hot sauce, avocado, sour cream, salsa and avocado.

  We aren't generally a fan of spanish rice, but I wanted to bulk up this meal and add extra veggies. I followed the recipe almost exactly, I did use a can of diced tomatoes, then a can of diced green chilis since I already had both. Then I did add a sprinkling of taco seasoning. This was actually really good.

  I took a pic of my bell pepper....it was pregnant! Isn't there some old wives tale of finding a pregnant pepper means that you'll be pregnant soon? :)

Keto Air Fried Chicken Thighs, Cauliflower "Mac" and Cheese, Caesar Salad

 Air Fried Chicken Thighs, Cauliflower "Mac" and Cheese, Caesar Salad


Dinner tonight was delicious, although my son didn't care for the salad....he usually doesn't lol. I took some chicken thighs and brushed some brown mustard on each side, and sprinkled each side with salt/pepper/paprika/thyme/rosemary/oregano. Then I air fried at 370 for 18 minutes. 

 I also made some Air Fried Mac n Cheese by OurCountertop,  Click that for the link the the recipe. My cauliflower was very small, so I took some frozen cauliflower and air fried it. That worked great because I've been wondering if you can air fry veggies to look roasted. You can! The only thing I did different was I added a squirt of mustard. 

  Then I just chopped up a head of romaine and tossed it with a chopped tomato and Caesar dressing. My son isin't doing low carb, so he also had a piece of garlic toast.

Keto Spicy Pork Rind Crusted Pickle Chicken with Cajun Sausage Cauli Rice

 


Keto Spicy Pork Rind Crusted Pickle Chicken with Cajun Sausage Cauli Rice


  I marinated chicken thighs overnight in pickle juice and minced garlic. Then I made "breading" by crushing spicy pork rinds, parmesan cheese and garlic powder in a ziploc bag. I tossed each thigh in the ziploc bag like shake and bake and air fried it at 370 for 20 minutes. Super moist and juicy, with a hint of pickles. 

  For the cauliflower rice I used this recipe by Instrupix.  The only difference was that I only used 1 bag of cauliflower rice, and I omitted the bell peppers since I didn't have any. I added 8oz of mushrooms and 2 stalks celery. The sausage I used was super spicy though, I was surprised. It was delicious but too spicy for my son. Next time I'll use a different one for sure.

Keto Chicken Alfredo with Zoodles


 Keto Chicken Alfredo with Zoodles


  This photo has regular rotini mixed with zoodles because it was my sons, my helping had just zoodles but I forgot to take a picture. 

  I diced up 4 chicken thighs and tossed them with Kinders Blackened Seasoning and garlic powder. I sautéed them in some olive oil until they were done. I spiralized a zucchini (I should of done 2, there was barely enough for me) and let it sweat with a lil salt on some paper towels for 20 minutes or so while I boiled rotini for the rest of the family. I removed the chicken with a slotted spoon to a plate, and then I made the sauce using the alfredo sauce recipe below. Very yummy and the chicken was super juicy!

This dinner was delicious. The only thing I did differently was for the salmon I used Blackened Old Bay Seasoning with the seasonings listed in the recipe. I'll definitely be making this again.

Keto Pizza Omelette

 


Keto Pizza Omelette

  Not the prettiest picture, but the best looking omelette that I've ever made lol. Pizza is of course one of my favorite foods, and I've been really wanting some especially since it's the weekend. I made some homemade spaghetti meat sauce last night so I thought that would be a perfect filling "pizza" sauce. So I whisked up 3 eggs and a dash of egg whites and heavy cream. I filled the omelette with the sauce, 1 crumbled bacon slice, 4 sliced up pepperoni's, mozzarella, parmesan, and a handful of spinach for some greens. 

  This was delicious but super filling, I only had half! 

Low Carb McGriddle Chaffle

   This was so good! I made the Wonder Bread chaffle Recipe while I cooked up a frozen sausage patty and 1 egg on the skillet. I melted a slice of cheddar cheese over the sausage, and topped it with a drizzle of sugar free maple syrup. I'll definitely be making these for breakfast a lot, my husband even loved it.

Best Damn Air Fryer Chicken Wings and Keto Breadsticks

 Best Damn Air Fryer Chicken Wings and Keto Breadsticks






  This meal was excellent. I made these keto "breadsticks" for my husband and I with almond flour, but my son is allergic to almonds so I made his with white flour. The white flour ones turned out lumpy and weird to spread, but my son said they tasted really good and that's all that matters. 

  The chicken was air fried in a bunch of seasonings and a squirt of mustard. They were super juicy and ultra flavorful, I'll definitely be trying it would chicken breasts or thighs. 

  Caesar salad is naturally a low carb salad. I just some chopped romaine, spinach, tomatoes and a handful of parmesan.
