Breading Ideas for Low Carb Diets - Pork Rind Breading

I'm not huge on fried foods so haven't really missed them that much.  However, I have kept my eyes out for a batter recipe to try.  In addition to a good batter recipe, I wasn't crazy about dealing with all the oil and calories from using oil for frying.  So as I said, I wasn't that concerned about it.  That being said, I've been reading up on air fryers and thought they might be a great idea so I finally bought this one today.  And I decided to try a pork rind breading.  It was good!  Not great but good!

So anyway, I found this website that had several different breading ideas and will be trying them all.  First up as I mentioned was the pork rind breading.  I used it to make fried pork chops and zucchini in my new air fryer!  I was impressed with both the breading and the fryer!  I look forward to trying them both again.

Cheesy Bacon Chicken Nuggets

Image
I thought I was done with chicken nuggets forever when I decided to go low carb.  Then I found this recipe!  I was so proud of myself for doing it!  This recipe was a bit labor intensive this first time but now that I know what I'm doing, it'll be much easier next time.  And let me assure you, there WILL be a next time.  I made one recipe but it was enough for 25 nuggets.  I cooked one serving and froze the rest.  So yes, labor intensive tonight but 4 more servings ready to go in the freezer!  Yay!  Click the picture below to see the original recipe.  I used an air fryer to cook my nuggets... love that thing! print recipe Cheesy Bacon Chicken Nuggets by September-6-2017 Adapted from THIS recipe.

Low Carb No Bake Cookies

On one of the Keto FB groups I frequent, I asked for dessert or sweets recipes that actually tasted good.  So many just don't.  This is one of the recipes that was suggested and I honestly like these a whole lot more than I expected!  I'm not a big fan of coconut because of the texture but this was really fine coconut so not the same.  I made it with almond butter but think I'll try real peanut butter next time.  The picture below is from the site of the original recipe.  I didn't take a picture of mine because while they tasted great, they were really flat and didn't look great.  LOL!  Anyway, simple recipe, tasty, and freezable.  What's not to like?
