    I just tried to make chicken skin chips, not an original recipe, but first go at it. I had a couple pounds of chicken thighs, and I took the skins off, seasoned and crisped them in the boiler. Maybe I overcooked them, but they were not good. :(

    Guys, I discovered a really easy, super tasty way to cook chicken.

    Get some chicken thighs with the skin ON. Of course, that's the best bit. ;)
    Throw those babies in a baking tray with the skins up.
    Sprinkle a generous amount of onion salt over the skins. Don't forget to keep an eye on the carb count.
    Sprinkle a little bit (like a 1/4 tsp on each one) of garlic powder on top of the onion salt.
    Slide them into the oven at 200C (390F) for about 35-40 minutes.

    The skin goes soooooo crunchy and the seasonings are delicious. My hubby hoovered these up and asked for more.

    To make dinner even easier melt some butter in an oven pan (I use a cake tin). Roll some asparagus in that melted goodness and then put it the oven for the last 15 minutes while the chicken is still cooking. The chicken and the asparagus will be ready at the same time.

    Easy. Delicious. What more could you ask for?

    Pro Tip: Make a huge batch and eat for breakfast or lunch the next day.

    I have not seen this one anywhere. Just made it last night with craving for potato salad.
    Moc Potato Salad
    2 cups cauliflower cut up
    2 hard boiled eggs
    4 TBSP Mayonnaise
    1/2 Dill pickle
    1/8 small onion chopped very fine to spread the goodness
    Lemon pepper sprinkle. Less than 1/8 tsp
    Lightly cook cauliflower. Peel and chop eggs. Cop onion and pickle. Dump slightly cooled cauliflower into mix. Add the mayo.Lightly mix. Bacon lovers could add bacon.
    Serves 4

    I made this last night and just tasted it. Tonight I needed more food in my day. I added another hopped egg to my bowl and a dab of mayo. This is delicious. I would say add more salt and pepper or seasoning of your choice.

    PERSONAL PIZZA "OMELET"
    That looks fantastic, thank you so much! That's about the level of my baking skills so I could treat hubby to a meal for a change.

    And whoah!!! those spice jars are massive. Ours come in 1 oz or 5 oz jars!

    Hey, @Fat4Fuel2, your egg pizza looks great! I'm definitely making one! Now I can have pizza when my guys have it, without going through the trouble of making a non-flour crust. :) Thanks for sharing!

    FRIED CHEESE

    1. Heat nonstick or exceedingly well seasoned cast iron skillet. Hubby cooks everything on high, I cook at about medium.
    2. Put about 1/4 -1/2 cup shredded cheese in an even layer in the skillet.
    3. Add pepperoni, veggies, or chopped bacon if desired.
    4. Once cheese is melted together and browning on the bottom, flip it.
    5. Brown the second side.
    6. Put on plate (with a paper towel if you don't like grease).
    7. Nomnomnom.

    If making multiples, wipe the grease out after every one or two.

    Notes:
    1. Hubby likes mozzarella with pepperoni. He doesn't like much sauce on his pizza, so he doesn't really miss it.
    2. Strongly flavored cheeses can get intense or mellow out, depending on the cheese.
    3. Fiesta blend is awesome.
    4. If you make it thick, it will be gooey on the inside and not as crunchy on the outside.
    5. If you make it thin, then let it set for a minute, it's almost like a chip.
    6. If you make it thin and bend it over something as soon as it comes out, it makes a leaky but tasty taco shell.

    LAMB PATTIES
    • 1 pound ground lamb
    • 1/3 cup whole milk plain greek yogurt (use one with lowest carb count, I use Kalona Supernatural or Fage Total)
    • 1 tablespoon coconut flour
    • 1 tablespoon golden flaxseed meal
    • 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
    • 1 teaspoon sea salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 2 tablespoons (or more) fresh cilantro, finely chopped
    • 2-3 tablespoons healthy fat for pan frying (olive oil, coconut oil, lard or tallow)
    1. Place all ingredients except lamb and oil/fat into medium bowl and mix. If necessary, add a small amount of water until it forms a thick paste.
    2. Add lamb and mix thoroughly (I use my hands).
    3. Form lamb into twelve equal size balls then flatten into small patties.
    4. Heat oil or fat in large skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
    5. Place patties in pan, cook for approx. 5 minutes until browned. Reduce heat if browning too fast.
    6. Flip patties over. Reduce heat to medium to medium-low (if you haven't already done so) and cook approx. 5 minutes longer until cooked to your liking.

    Bonus yogurt sauce (not included in nutrition facts)
    Mix some yogurt, chopped cilantro, a bit of salt and pepper, garlic (chopped or powder) if desired, and a small amount of lemon juice or water to make a quick sauce for the lamb patties.

    OMG! We just had pizza that would totally fool you. Especially if you like cheese and thin crust.

    I started with a recipe from... reddit? I think. but the crust was kinda soggy, didn't hold up. We do like thin, crunchy crust so here's what I did!

    CRUST
    2 (packed) cups shredded mozzerella cheese
    2 teaspoons (approximately) garlic powder
    2 eggs

    Preheat oven to 425
    Squish it together. Then I put it in a greased 9X13 pyrex baking dish. I'm pretty sure you could just use any kind of pan. Cover the bottom with the mixture. Of course it should be pretty thin. Once you get it mostly spread, it's easier to even it out if you have wet hands.

    Put it in the oven for 20 minutes.
    Then I broiled it for a few minutes, watching it. Just until it was brown.

    Tak it out of the dish and flip it over onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. you want the browned top side to now be the bottom so that it is crispy and will be firm so you can pick up your pizza once cooked.

    Then we cut it in half before adding toppings so we wouldn't have to do this after. We cut this into two pieces to share between two people and with all the cheese etc, it was PLENTY as a dinner for each of us.

    Then we added our low carb pizza sauce, thinly sliced mushrooms, pepperoni, already cooked ground beef, green olives and then another generous topping of grated cheddar to seal it all in.

    Baked again for about 10 minutes at 425 then broiled to our liking.

    OHHHHHH baby!! We were sooooo surprised. And let me tell you, the BF is such a pizza snob that we cannot order out. We ate pizza almost every Friday for almost a year while watching UFC. We always made our own and were always disappointed with others. He loved this :smiley:

    As I'm on the April FIT_goat challenge, I didn't even track anything but I'm thinking it won't be a habit. The cheese probably takes up all the carbs for the day.

    Woot!

    I used a couple different recipes, left out the potatoes and/or cauliflower substitute and made some amazing soup. Changes I'm going to make and other ideas/suggestions at the bottom.


    Copycat Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana Soup Recipe
    Posted on 4/09/2015 by KnitOrMiss
    As currently prepared: (Notes for improving the recipe at the bottom!)

    INGREDIENTS
    1 pound bulk spicy and hot sausage (recipe called for spicy Italian, but this was way cheaper, so I just added Italian seasoning to the broth)

    1 bunch kale, chopped - about 3 cups (roughly - adjust to taste)

    1 stick butter (1/4 cup or 8 oz, depending on location)

    1 TBSP olive oil

    4 cups broth (stock, broth, or water with buillion)

    2-6 cloves garlic smashed/chopped/pureed, to taste

    1/2 onion chopped or pureed, color to taste

    Salt and Pepper to Taste

    1/4-1 tsp Italian seasoning, to taste if not using Italian Sausage

    Roughly 4 oz/8 tbsp heavy whipping cream, to taste


    INSTRUCTIONS
    Chop up tough kale stems. Brown sausage and kale stems together. I tried to do them in 1/2" to 1/4" pieces. Cook through. Drain excess grease. Set aside.

    Chop/puree garlic and onion (I used my ultimate chopper, comes out like a rough paste. Feel free to leave as chunky as you like to taste.) Add olive oil to same pan as browned sausage in. Add onion and garlic. Cook down until translucent or most of the liquid is cooked out.

    Deglaze with stock/broth. Add salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Simmer broth for 30 minutes.

    Chop kale into very thin strips (1/8"-1/4"). May shred using processor what have you, to taste. Add butter, sausage, kale stems, and chopped kale back to pot. Simmer until kale is softened. For me, this was 20+ minutes until it was as soft as I prefer.

    *** NOTE: At this point STOP if you plan to refrigerate it. Reheat the broth at this point. Only add the heavy cream when ready to eat. ***

    Portion out into serving bowls. Makes roughly 6 or 8 1-cup servings, I think. Add 2-6 TBSP of heavy cream to each bowl, amount to taste. Stir and serve. (Again, note, add cream only as serving - this makes it much easier to reheat!)


    Modifications - this was so much kale! I might have underestimated slighlty. So I'm purchase and browning 1-2 additional pounds of sausage to add to this tonight. I will be adding at least 2 more cups of stock/broth. I will season to taste. But I'm thinking the ratio of sausage to kale will be better to me! :)

    Sausage - feel free to get any kind of sausage, any kind of ground/minced meat - just make sure to seasoon while cook if unseasoned product with at least salt and pepper. If you get ITALIAN sausage, be sure to leave out the Italian seasoning, unless it needs more punch. Also, if you do not buy a spicy sausage but want it spicy, add crushed red pepper flakes to taste.

    Kale - you can use any green that wilts. Spinach or other greens can easily be used. If the stems are tough, be sure to "fry" them along side the sausage. I imagine even cabbage could be interesting here.

    Garlic - original recipe called for 2 cloves. Use to taste.

    Onion - original recipe called for one onion, but my was slightly larger, so I only used half.

    Italian Seasoning - add to taste if purchasing sausage that isn't Italian. Mine was $2 instead of $4 just purchasing regular Spicy sausage.

    Heavy cream is to taste. I would add at least on TBSP per bowl. Can supplement with other type of cream or additional butter.

    Also this original recipe called for potatoes, just like the soup at the restaurant, but sincerely, this was so great a soup that I just didn't even notice they were missing. Feel free to add potatoes or riced cauliflower or any other veggie you prefer, if you've got the room for it.


    SURPRISE SURPRISE - once again the recipe add link is not giving me nutritional data. I will post that later.
