Corn-less Cornbread

4 net carbs per serving- makes 9 servings

I am so proud of my husband for finally choosing to rid his body of processed carbs and sugar! It’s nice to not be the only person in the house who practices the ketogenic lifestyle. My husband is a countryman, so he always appreciates a home-cooked meal. His wife loves to cook, so today he ate this along with smothered ox-tails, collard greens, and baked mashed cauliflower! To be honest, even my non-keto children gave this bread a thumbs up!

This cornbread is sweet! It has the right texture for gravy dipping, as well as the right texture for choking. I tested the latter factor accidentally, of course.

Additionally, this recipe is not time-consuming, so feature it with Sunday dinner often, or with your next bowl of chili!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella, grated
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tbs granulated swerve
  • 1 tbs brown sugar swerve
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 1/2 tbs baking powder

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a glass 8 x 6 baking dish with olive oil.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
  3. In a food processor, combine all wet ingredients, including cheese.
  4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir together well.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until top is a golden brown. ENJOY!!

Loaded Baked Cauliflower

This tastes just like a delicious creamy loaded baked potato. Be sure to not rice the cauliflower too finely for this recipe. I find that a bit of texture adds to its comparability to a baked potato. At only 4-5 g net carbs, this is an excellent side dish to a steak or salmon. This recipe helps to meet the complicated needs of my family. It’s keto, naturally gluten-free, and I can easily prepare some without bacon for my vegetarian child! Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 2 large turkey wings, separated
  • 1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

I love recipes like this, because the prep time is brief and I can rely on my nose to let me know when the wings are ready.  It is also fun to play with different spices to change the flavor theme. 

Don’t forget to save the broth for cooking riced or mashed cauliflower! 

Two wings should last four days for one person.  ENJOY!
