We’ve made gumbo a few times. But I think my partner has hit the mark on this one. This recipe turned out absolutely fantastic. This is easily the best tasting Gumbo I’ve had.

I never trust the web to keep the information I link to. But the original post is here. You can get a fantastic walk through on making it with pictures.

Authentic New Orleans Style Gumbo

This Authentic New Orleans Gumbo is made with a dark roux, vegetables, chicken, sausage, and shrimp, and served over rice.

Approximately: 6 servings

Equipment

• Enameled Pot

Ingredients

For the Roux:

• 1 heaping cup all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup oil (vegetable or canola

These babies may not look all that appetizing (apart from the bacon!) but they are fantastic. I could
eat 20 of them in a sitting if I was my pre-keto self. They are the “pringles” of snacks! Once you pop – you can’t stop!

You might know these by another name but I’ve always heard them called ‘Grasshoppers’.  Bacon wrapped, cream cheese filled jalapeno poppers!
They are extremely easy to make and the crunchier you get the bacon the better these taste! I missed the beer battered deep fried version of jalapeno poppers, but these quickly took over my hear!

Ingredients:

• 5 jalapenos sliced in half lengthwise and gutted
  • Make

I have never cooked lamb before and I absolutely love gyro’s. I know that the carbs in Gyro’s can

very since some people add flours to the mix when they make the loaf. My husband and I decided to give it a go and make our own. We are very happy that we did.

We seen so many different recipes we decided to go with an easier one. But if anyone has any other tips tricks or otherwise, we are always all ears. As I’m sure you can all tell, we like to try new things.

The recipe we followed is below though we doubled it since we had 2 … read more...

I say fish instead of listing Cod, Haddock, Tilapia or any other because we all have our budgets and fish is good cooked many different ways.  Granted I stick with my white fish. I got this recipe from a co-worker and it was awesome. But a word of caution: All of the amounts are estimated. I was given a list of items to use without measurements and just put together what looked right. So the description below is more of a guideline.

The picture does not do this justice!

Ingredients:

• Juice from 2 fresh limes
• 1/4 cup olive oil   (Oil should be equal to the amount of juice

This one has always been a family favorite. Often served with rice, which can easily be replaced with cauli-rice or in this case, shredded cabbage.  It has an earthy taste. This is easily one of my favorite comfort foods.

We usually made this in a crock pot, however, this time, we made it in the Instant Pot and it turned out GREAT with a fraction of the time.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs Pork or Chicken
• 1/4 c. Chopped Onion
• 16 oz. Diced Tomatoes
• 1 tsp Chicken Soup Base
• 1 tsp Marjoram
• 1 tsp Crushed Thyme
• 1 tsp Salt
• Dash of Pepper
• Cabbage/Potatoes/Rice – Whatever you want your base to be.

The picture speaks for the recipe itself. Not to mention – it includes Bacon! Bacon is gold in this house. Anytime it goes on sale we try to stock up as best we can.

This only takes a little bit of time to put together and it tastes so good. We don’t make it too often because it is very calorie dense, but it certainly is tasty!

Ingredients:

• 5 slices bacon
• 5 4-oz uncooked brats
• 1 c sauerkraut, drained

Directions:

1. Bake bacon for at 350°F until cooked but still floppy, about 20 min. (I just pan fried for a few minutes)
2. Boil brats in water for 15 min or until

This was a quick little creation that sounded really good. I used to love jello powder in cottage cheese mixed with fruit, but that has far too many carbs than I care to even think about.
These little things are great in a pinch and a fat bomb to boot! I’ve made them a couple times now and they are almost addicting!
Whats great is you can make these in any flavor you choose! Don’t want to use pre-packaged jello? use gelatin or Xanthan gum and different flavors! The sky is the limit! Let your imagination run wild!
We would love to hear what you tried with yours!
