Parmesan "Tater Tots"


Many websites will tell you cauliflower is a great sub for potatoes.  Well, I have to strongly disagree but only because of taste.  The texture is great and you can truly make many of your favorite potato recipes with cauliflower.  But to me, the flavor is entirely different.  That being said, as long as you're not expecting potatoes, these little tots will not disappoint!  I was really impressed by them!  I made one full recipe which turned out to be about 20 tots so I froze what I didn't eat tonight (I'm only cooking for me).  Perfect for a quick meal another time!  If you decide to try them, let me know what you think!

Cheesy Bacon Chicken Nuggets

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? Left and right have chocolate added.  The middle is plain but YUMMY! print recipe Low Carb No Bake Cookies by September-7-2017 Adapted from THIS recipe.
