Jalapeno Cream Cheese Deviled Eggs

June 2, 2019 by Debbie 2 Comments

Here in southern Louisiana deviled eggs are a staple at any gathering. I will admit I have always been a classic deviled egg kinda girl, just plain and simple. Recently I have been introduced to adding cream cheese to the yolks….LIFE CHANGING!! It makes the yolks so creamy , smooth and adds a unique flavor.When creating these Jalapeno Cream Cheese Deviled Eggs I had my husband in mind since he loves the jalapeno cream cheese .Also, he follows a pretty strict low carb lifestyle . As an added bonus these are low carb and keto friendly. Even if you don’t follow a low carb lifestyle check out another recipe I used it in..Low Carb Spicy Cheese Ball .

Keto Cheeseburger Bowl

April 24, 2019 by Debbie 1 Comment

We have a local burger joint in town that offers a burger bowl. It is basically a hamburger patty ontop of shredded lettuce and what ever toppings you would like. After seeing it I thought I needed to do this at home and bring it up a notch. I mean come on guys , just because you are cutting carbs it doesn’t mean you have to cut flavor. I made the most flavorful hamburger patty with oozy melted cheese. Then placed it on a bed of mixed greens with chunks of bacon and slices of pickles. This is where is gets special..sriracha mayo. My sriracha mayo is fabulous on this and really makes it special. If you like recipes with ground meat you will love My Low Carb Meatballs, it is one of my popular recipes.

Low Carb Meal Prep for the Week

April 7, 2018 by Debbie Leave a Comment

Low Carb Meal prep is so important if you want to stick to you low carb meal plan. Have everything ready for the week to avoid temptations. As most of you know my husband has been following a low carb diet since October successfully. Two major things that I have found that makes his life easy to follow this diet is planning and prepping. If he has all of his meals pre-made for the week and all he has to do is grab and go he is set up for success. This plan has breakfast, 2 main dishes to have some variety and a delicious snack. I find Sunday meal prepping and dividing them in small containers is the easiest so then he is set for the week. Just click on the link below the pictures and you will get all of these yummy recipes.

Low Carb Meatballs and Creamy Spinach

March 16, 2018 by Debbie 16 Comments

My husband has been on a law carb diet since this past October and bless his soul he made through the holidays without falling off the wagon. I try to help him stay on track by preparing meals similar to this Low Carb Meatballs and Creamy Spinach and he can make several meals out of this. For a while we got into a chicken rut , we all love chicken but I felt like I was about to start clucking , lol. When I started making things with ground meat I needed a binding agent and I couldn’t use bread crumbs. Using only eggs wasn’t working out well so one day I added some grated parmesan cheese . It worked GREAT!! It not only helped hold things together but it added flavor and texture.

Low Carb Southwest Egg Muffins

December 3, 2017 by Debbie 8 Comments

These Low Carb Southwest Egg Muffins are perfect for some leading a low carb life style but let me explain how they came about . High school football has come to an end and it rolled directly into wrestling season. Here in Louisiana football players wrestle in the off season to stay in shape. My 16 year old son worked really hard to bulk up this past summer , not only a strength and conditioning regime but trying to eat eat eat. This fat girl never in my life thought I would have a kid that had issues GAINING weight. Seriously , I went on my first weight loss program at age 12 and I still have to watch everything I eat . A few weeks before football season ended my son started cutting weight getting ready for the mat. He obviously had a weight class in mind and he was bound and determined to get there. This past Saturday was his first tournament and he made weight so now it’s time to maintain it. So these Low Carb Southwest Egg Muffins are a perfect breakfast and great for meal prepping for the week.

Keto Creamy Chicken

November 11, 2017 by Debbie 3 Comments

This past week was a little wacky for me and I didn’t get as many meals cooked as I normally do. Last week we had my birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME) and I don’t cook that day , veterans day school programs, bowling special olympics for my autistic son , and my oldest son’s high school football team played the first round of the high school play-offs. All of these extra activities on top of our normal jammed packed schedule kept me chasing my tail to say the least. Not to mention my two trips to the DMV and one trip to the social security office and I still have an expired driver’s license, the joys of adulting lol. So in a nutshell eating on the run and not cooking is not so easy for my husband that is trying to follow a low carb / keto friendly diet . He fell off the wagon a bit so I am getting organized and meal prepping for him to help get him back on track.

Low Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Soup

October 28, 2017 by Debbie 16 Comments

In earlier post I have confessed my love of carbs so this is a little change of gears for me. This Low Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Soup was created to help my husband out in his weight loss journey . Being married for 18 plus years and all the yummy things I cook has caught up with him and he has decided to try and get a little healthier. He has proclaimed carbs are the devil and that demon has caused havoc on his weight, so we have purged the pantry and fridge of those unhealthy foods. Usually my oldest son would protest to such a thing but we are coming to the end of high school football season and it’s time for him to watch his weight for wrestling season. The joys of a hangry teenage boy is whole other story in itself for another time.
