Keto Meatballs

Movin' it with Michelle

Tonight’s easy Keto meal. Meatballs with sautéed spinach. Meatballs: 1 lb of ground meat, 2 diced baby portobello mushrooms, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, salt and pepper to taste. Gently Work mixture together and form in to balls. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Top with a slice of fresh mozzarella and return to oven for a few minutes to melt. Sautéed spinach: slice three slices of bacon and cook until done. Drain the grease on a paper towel and wipe out (but don’t rinse!) the pan. Add one pat of unsalted butter, minced clove of garlic and red pepper flakes to the pan you cooked the bacon in. Place a heaping mound of spinach in the pan as it shrinks down. Add in your bacon and season with salt and pepper. Voila!! Cheers! We have bad storms here but I managed a 25 minute cardio workout while the meatballs were cooking! Gotta get it done while you can!

Spicy chicken wings with a broccoli and avocado purée

Movin' it with Michelle

Here is my simple recipe for:

Spicy chicken wings seasoned with salt, pepper, cayenne and smoked paprika baked at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. My newest creation is broccoli cheesy jalapeño mash: made by boiling one head of broccoli, one jalapeño and two cloves of garlic. Save 1 cup or boiling liquid. Put one avocado into the food processor with the juice of half of a lemon or lime. Add the boiled veg and purée. If needed add some of the boiling liquid to thin out. Season with salt and pepper and add 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Yum!! Who’s hungry!?!

Have you tried a low carb or Keto diet before? What are some of your favorite recipes?

Cheers!

Sunday supper and a Keto recipe

Movin' it with Michelle

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!
