MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP GREEK YOGURT! 1 bowl or tub of 0% Fage Greek Yogurt: mix in Peppermint Extract Drops and Stevia, to taste.... In a separate little cup, add equal parts Coconut Oil (1-2 Tbsp) & plain Cocoa Powder (1-2 Tbsp), add Stevia to taste and stir till it looks like hershey syrup! (set the cup in a bowl of warm water, to soften the oil if needed). Pour/spoon drop the chocolate into the minty greek yogurt, then slowly, gently stir it around into the yogurt. Don't blend it in, just move the chocolate around in the yogurt till it hardens and breaks into flakes and chunks. YUMMO! It's also amazing if you use powdered peanut butter (whole foods/publix?) instead of the mint extract. I make a large tub at a time, then eat on it all week! Yogurt adds protein, Coconut Oil Chocolate adds the fat! Add more chocolate if you want!

they come out almost like a nougat (if you take them out of the freezer and let them soften for about ten minutes before eating)! and i replaced the almonds with walnuts to lower the carbs even further even though they are already low...and at about 90% fat these are my new favorite keto food! even my kids love them and they hate low carb treats. follow "low carbing among friends" on facebook...they have some of the best recipes i've tried!

I made a chicken cordon bleu casserole this week that turned out great!
Chicken (breasts or thighs, cut up into chunks)
Cooked cubed ham (I have a few - 2 cup frozen bags of ham in my freezer from a family dinner)
Whipping cream mixed with swiss cheese

Bake for an hour at 350 (cover for the first 45 mins)
SO good!

My favorite entertaining dish is chicken pinwheels. Find the largest chicken breast(s), butterfly it open, and pound it flat. Season the inside with garlic salt/Mrs. Dash. Spread with softened cream cheese. Layer on ham slices or bacon, colby jack cheese, and spinach or asparagus. Roll tightly and pin with toothpicks. Place in baking dish, smother in blue cheese dressing, top with shredded parmesan cheese, and bake at 350 for one hour. Let rest 10 min. before slicing for best presentation.
Have you exhausted the world of omelets? Chicken fajita omelets are my favorite.
Stir-frys? Crustless quiche? Stuffed peppers or portabellas? Cream of vegetable (no potato) soup?
Good luck.

Dijon Chicken and Mushrooms
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs chunked
Mushrooms chunked
.25 Cup Dijon Mustard
Heavy Cream

This is a base recipe that I go to at least once a week. I just cooked the chicken and mushrooms together in my cast iron and then add the mustard and cream and let it thicken to a sauce. If I'm feeling fancy I'll add crumbled bacon, cream chees, or sour cream. I've also added spinach/kale/zucchini.

Eat it on Broccoli roasted in the over with bacon fat. So good!

I've been living off of cream cheese fluff for snacks the last few weeks. You can do so much to make these the way you want. And the best part is, the longer they sit in the fridge, the more fluffy they become!

Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole

Ingredients:
4 lbs. of boneless skinless chicken breast
8 oz. freshly shredded cheddar cheese
8 oz. cream cheese
12 slices of thick cut bacon
1.5 lbs of fresh mushrooms
½ packet of ranch seasoning (4 tsp)
Fresh cracked pepper to taste

Directions:
Start by cooking the bacon. We've grown to love baking it in the oven. Line a pan with aluminum foil and place the bacon on it. Cook for 18-20 minutes at 400 degrees. Cooking times may vary depending upon the thickness of the bacon. Save your bacon grease! The foil lined pan makes cleanup easy and very easy to save your grease, which is great for cooking.

Chop up the chicken into bite sized pieces. Add bacon grease (or olive oil, butter, whatever) to a pan on medium and toss the chicken in. Season with the ranch packet. You want to make sure to cook the chicken mostly all the way through.

While the chicken is cooking wash and slice up your mushrooms. We buy them in bulk from Sam’s and don’t mind the extra work involved in prepping them.

When the chicken is finished remove it from the pan and cook the mushrooms. Season these if you want with a little salt and pepper. Cook them until they get to the consistency that you prefer.

Add the finished ingredients to a large greased (makes cleanup easy) casserole dish. It helps to pull the cream cheese out of the refrigerator ahead of time so that it can soften.

When the bacon is finished chop it up into bite sized pieces and add all of the ingredients to the casserole dish, including the cheese, and mix thoroughly. Optionally top with fresh cracked black pepper.

Set your oven to 350 degrees and cover the dish with aluminum foil. Cook for 30 minutes covered and then 10 minutes uncovered.

This makes 8 servings each weighing approximately 280 grams.

Pork Rind "waffles" or "French toast" (I made similar to these as waffles last night and they were awesome):

These sound yummy! I miss pancakes! What do you use for maple syrup? the no sugar added syrup I found was still 10g of carbs per tbsp.

I will try this ranch bacon casserole, sounds yum .
