HOW TO MAKE A KETO ZUCCHINI LASAGNA WITH MEAT? ⬇️

Ingredients

20 ounces zucchini (about 2 large) ends sliced off and discarded

1 pound extra lean ground beef

15 ounces can tomato sauce or puree

1 cup finely chopped onion (about 1 small)

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 teaspoons dried oregano

2 teaspoons salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne

Instructions

Making the meat sauce:

Heat a high-sided pan over medium heat until hot. Add olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add ground beef to the pan, breaking it apart as it cooks. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes.

Add tomato sauce, stirring it in. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then gradually reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken the sauce, stirring occasionally.

Add oregano, salt, and cayenne. Stir until well-mixed. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assembling and baking the lasagna:

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Prepare an 8x8 inch baking dish.

Slice each zucchini along its length into 1/8 inch thick strips.

Arrange zucchini slices along the bottom of the baking dish so that they are slightly overlapping in a criss-cross pattern. Evenly pour about half of the meat sauce over the zucchini. Add about 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese on top of the meat sauce.

Repeat with another zucchini layer, a meat sauce layer, and a cheese layer.

Top with remaining zucchini slices. Add another 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese on top of the zucchini.

Bake at 375 F until the lasagna is golden brown on top and bubbling, about 45 minutes. Let cool about 10 minutes to allow the lasagna to set and cease bubbling before slicing.

Bacon and Parmesan Stuffed 🍄

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

6 slices bacon fried and chopped

2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

1/4 tsp salt or to taste

1/4 tsp pepper or to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

1 lb large cremini mushrooms cleaned, stems removed

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 F degrees.

In a medium bowl add the Parmesan cheese, bacon, parsley and salt and pepper to taste. I usually don't add any salt because I find the Parmesan cheese and bacon provides enough saltiness, but I do add about 1/2 tsp of black pepper. Stir everything together and set aside.

In a large oven safe skillet, add the olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook on both sides for about 2 or 3 minutes per side, just until the mushrooms start to brown a bit.

Add about 1 tbsp of the bacon/cheese mixture to each mushroom, you should have enough to fill all the mushrooms.

Place the mushrooms in the oven and bake for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

8 thin slices sirloin or flank steak (length and width according to personal preference)

Extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Fresh rosemary, chopped

1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 medium zucchini, sliced into thin strips

1 medium yellow onion, halved and then thinly sliced

A few white button or cremini mushrooms, cut into thin strips

For the Rosemary Balsamic Glaze:

Rub each side of the steak slices with a little extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, freshly ground black pepper and some chopped fresh rosemary.

Heat one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the vegetables until crisp-tender, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Place a few of the vegetable strips vertically on one end of each steak cutlet so that once rolled up the end of the vegetables are sticking out of each end of the steak roll.

Roll it up, and secure it with a toothpick. Repeat for each steak roll.

Add the balsamic vinegar, red wine, brown sugar and the rosemary sprigs and bring to a rapid boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Add the broth, return to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 15 minutes. Discard the rosemary sprigs.

Prepare the grill and grill on each side for about 2 minutes or according to desired doneness. Do the same if cooking them in a skillet, frying over medium-high heat until done.

Serve immediately drizzled with the rosemary balsamic glaze. Baked potatoes make a great accompaniment.

LOW CARB OLIVE GARDEN STUFFED CHICKEN MARSALA 🍗 Ingredients🍎: Chicken 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 cup all-purpose flour Salt/Pepper to taste ½ cup olive oil Stuffing ½ cup smoked shredded cheese provolone or gouda 8 oz. mozzarella cheese shredded ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated ½ cup breadcrumbs 1 teaspoon fresh garlic minced ¼ tsp red pepper flakes crushed 2 Tablespoon sun-dried tomato flakes (drain first if in oil) 3 green onions thinly sliced 3/4 cup sour cream Sauce 1 yellow onion sliced into strings 4 cups Marsala Wine 8 oz. heavy cream 12 oz. button mushrooms thinly Prep👩🏻‍🍳: Combine all stuffing ingredients together in a bowl and set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butterfly the chicken by slicing the side of the thickest part of each chicken breast to create 2 lobes. Lay the chicken down, covering the top with wax paper. Pound it gently until it’s thinned to 1/4 - 1/2 inches thick. Place ¼ of the stuffing inside of each of the chicken breasts. Coat the outside of each chicken breast with salt, pepper, and then the flour. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Place each chicken inside of the skillet and cook until each side is a nice golden-brown color. Remove the chicken and place it in a baking dish. Bake it for 15-20 minutes, or until the inside is cooked through. Within the skillet where the chicken cooked, add the onions and scrape up the chicken drippings, letting the onions cook in them for about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue to Sautee until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Deglaze the pan by adding the wine and bringing it to a light bubble. You’ll want the wine to reduce by half. As you continue to cook the sauce and as the onions caramelize, the sauce will continue to get more and more brown and delicious. Temper the heavy cream by heating it in the microwave for 20 seconds. Slowly pour it into the pan and bring it to a light bubble, reduce the heat to low and heat for 5 more minutes, then remove it from heat. Once the sauce is rich and brown, serve it over the chicken and with mashed potatoes! Source: The cozy cook

RAW VEGAN TIRAMISU BITES😍 Important to mention, this recipe is gluten and dairy free, vegan and paleo🤩 Ingredients🍎: For crunchy chocolate base: 2 2/3 oz (75 g) dark chocolate, melted with 1/2 tbsp coconut oil (Note 1) 1 tbsp maple syrup 1 cup (100 g) ground almonds (Note 2) 1 cup (35 g) puffed quinoa (Note 3) For mousse-like coffee layer: 2 cups (200 g) cashew nuts, that have been soaked overnight and drained 3/8 cup maple syrup 1 tbsp melted coconut oil 1 - 2 tbsp instant coffee, dissolved in 1 tbsp hot water For creamy vanilla layer: 1 1/2 cups (150 g) cashew nuts, that have been soaked overnight and drained 1/2 cup (115 g) coconut cream (Note 4) 1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil 1/4 cup maple syrup 1 tsp vanilla paste (or 2 tsp vanilla extract) You will also need: cupcake/muffin tin dark chocolate for drizzling (optional) Prep👩🏻‍🍳: Grease a cupcake/muffin tin with coconut oil and put strips of baking/greaseproof paper into 10 of the cupcake/muffin holes. These strips will make removing the frozen raw vegan tiramisu bites at the end much easier. For crunchy chocolate base: In a bowl, mix together all the chocolate base ingredients. Transfer ~1/8 cup of the mixture into each of the cupcake/muffin holes and flatten it down into a compact layer – I used a 1/3 cup measure for flattening. Freeze for at least 15 minutes so that the chocolate firms up. For mousse-like coffee layer: In a food processor or blender, blend the soaked and drained cashew nuts until you get a smooth paste. Add the rest of the coffee layer ingredients and blend until everything is evenly distributed. Transfer ~1/8 cup of the mixture on top of the firmed up chocolate base and smooth out the tops with a small spoon. Freeze for at least 1/2 hour so that the coffee layer firms up sufficiently for the vanilla layer to be added on top. For creamy vanilla layer: In a food processor or blender, blend the soaked and drained cashew nuts until you get a smooth paste. Add the rest of the vanilla layer ingredients and blend until everything is evenly distributed. Transfer ~1/8 cup of the mixture on top of the firmed up coffee layer and smooth out the tops with a small spoon. Freeze overnight. Final steps: Next day, remove the frozen raw vegan tiramisu bites from the cupcake/muffin tin. I found that this is easiest if you warm the underside of each cupcake/muffin tin hole above a hot cup of water/tea/coffee. Then, use the baking paper strips to help lift the tiramisu bites out of the tin. Before serving, allow to thaw for about 5 - 10 minutes. Serve as is, dusted with cocoa powder or drizzled with melted dark chocolate. Storage: The raw vegan tiramisu bites keep well in a closed container in the freezer for 2 - 3 weeks.

LEMON GARLIC HERB SALMON 🌿 🐠 Ingredients🍎: 3 oz Ghee for Whole30 or butter for other diets 1 tsp Real Salt 1 Lemon, juiced and zested 1 Tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped) 1 tsp Fresh Dill (chopped) 1 Clove Garlic (minced) Dash of White Pepper 4 4.5 oz Wild Salmon Fillets Prep👩🏻‍🍳: Place all ingredients except for salmon in a small bowl and melt in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. Stir until combined. Place the salmon fillets on a parchment lined baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, coat the salmon with the lemon herb butter, evenly spreading it over the tops of each fillet. Bake in an oven preheated to 400 degrees on the top or second to top rack for 10-12 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Alternately the fish can be broiled on medium/high on the second to top rack for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through. This method will give you a bit more crunchy, caramelized crust.
