Pork chop Keto meal

Tonight I made a simple pan seared pork chop, cooked with just a pat of unsalted butter in a cast iron skillet. I seasoned it with some Cuban seasoning I got from a place called, “The Spice house” in St. Petersburg, FL.

I paired it with cheesy cauliflower purée. Boil half of a head of cauliflower until soft and save about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Add a large tablespoon of cream cheese, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and salt and pepper to your food processor (blender will work fine as well), and then add the cooked cauliflower on top. Blitz on high until smooth. Add a little of the saved liquid if needed to thin out the purée.

The avocado crema was simply 1 avocado, 1/4 cup of sour cream, juice of one lime, salt, pepper and cayenne with just a drizzle of olive oil.

Voila!

I’ve been having a blast coming up with new Keto friendly recipes, and hope you are enjoying them! What’s your favorite low carb dish?

Cheers!

Sunday supper and a Keto recipe

We just finished week one of the Keto diet. My husband is completely on board and it’s helping so much to have his support. Our goal this week was to stay under 25 grams of carbs per day and we stayed on track all week. I’m happy to report he’s down almost 10 lbs, and I’m down 3 lbs!! Woot!!

You know you did a great job when your daughter can’t tell the difference between your cauliflower mash between mashed potatoes. Recipe: one head of cauliflower boiled in salt water until soft. Save a couple of tablespoons of the cooking liquid. Transfer to a food processor and add two tablespoons of cream cheese, two pats of unsalted butter, sea salt, pepper, parsley and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Add the saved liquid and purée on high until smooth!!

We served with a yummy steak that my hubby cooked in the cast iron skillet. Yum!

Have you tried low carb or Keto with success? How was your weekend?

Cheers!
