RECIPE # 1
Burger Bowls
Have you ever heard of a Burger Bowl? If not, let me introduce you to these easy-to-make crossovers between a salad bowl and a hamburger. Think of them kind of like a taco salad, except the delicious bowl is made from ground beef, and since it’s piled high with lots of favorite burger toppings, it gives you all the flavors of a big juicy hamburger; with the works!
You will make these tasty burger creations super flavorful using sea salt and Cajun seasoning.
Begin by preheating the oven to 400°. Line a sheet pan with foil for easy cleanup after baking.
Next, grab your favorite nonstick skillet, place it on a burner set to medium-high heat, add sliced mushrooms and onions, and season with ½ teaspoons sea salt; sautée until the vegetables are tender.
While those cook, combine 2 pounds of lean ground beef with 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, and 1 tablespoon certified gluten-free Worcestershire sauce. When mixed, divide the ground beef mixture into four portions, shape the meat into bowls, and place them on the prepared sheetpan. Fill the beefy meat bowls with the sauteed vegetables from the skillet, then top with grated cheese. Cover the pan loosely with foil, and bake for about 20 minutes or until cooked through (165°F).
Meanwhile, make your “special sauce” by mixing ¼ cup gluten-free mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 teaspoon mustard, and 2 tablespoons sweet relish in a bowl.
Top each bowl with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and burger sauce to serve. Talk about fantastic!
RECIPE # 2
Cajun Chicken Alfredo Bake
Skip the pasta and make this winner of a chicken dinner. This Cajun Chicken Alfredo Bake with its creamy cajun sauce, bites of tender chicken with broccoli and pepper, then loaded up with melty mozzarella cheese for melt-in-your-mouth baked deliciousness.
Talk about simple cleanup – You’re going to love how easy this recipe is because you’ll make it using just one skillet and then bake! Start by preheating your oven to 400°F; then season 1 ½ pound boneless chicken breast cut into 1-inch pieces with 2 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning.
Begin by cooking the chicken and red bell pepper cut into strips. Heat 2 tablespoons of Grapeseed Oil in a 12-in oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, bell pepper, and sauté until browned, then transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, add 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 3 ounces cream cheese, 3/4 cup Alfredo Extraordinaire (Wildtree), and whisk until thoroughly combined. Add 1 pound of broccoli florets, cooked chicken, and bell pepper; stir to coat in the sauce. Top with 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, then bake for about 25 minutes. When the cheese is melty, the broccoli is fork-tender, and the chicken chunks are no longer pink in the center, you’ll know it’s ready to serve!
RECIPE # 3
Cajun Chicken and Cauliflower “Grits”
In this recipe for Cajun Chicken and Cauliflower Grits, cheesy cauliflower grits become the base for pan-fried Cajun-seasoned chicken breast with andouille sausage.
If you’re not a fan of corn grits, riced cauliflower simmered in butter, heavy cream, and chicken broth, then flavored with Cheddar cheese is a sneaky way to get more vegetables into your diet as a delicious alternative to the real thing.
To make the “grits,” begin by pulsing 1 ½ pounds of fresh cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles grits. Heat 3 tablespoons butter, ½ cup heavy cream, and ¼ cup chicken broth in a large saucepan over medium heat, then add the cauliflower grits and stir to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring until the cauliflower grits are tender. When tender, stir in 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese and season with ½ teaspoon sea salt. Turn off the heat and cover to keep warm.
Season 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into 1-inch pieces) with 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet. Add the seasoned chicken and 12 ounces of sliced andouille sausage and sauté until the chicken is browned and cooked through (165°F).
Serve chicken and sausage over grits. Garnish with parsley and diced tomatoes. Yum!
RECIPE # 4
Green Goddess Chicken Cobb Salad
Traditionally, Cobb salads are packed with flavor, and this Green Goddess Chicken Cobb Salad is no exception. And while it just happens to be low-carb, it’s also just plain delicious and perfect for everyone!
To make this tasty dinner-worthy salad, you’ll start with the dressing so that all the delicious flavors can mingle and develop.
Prepare the dressing by blending 1 (5.3 ounces) container of full-fat Greek yogurt, ¼ cups each of parsley and cilantro (non-cilantro lovers can use ½ cup parsley instead), 1 scallion, 1 clove garlic, 1 lime (juiced), 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil, 1 teaspoon capers, and 1 teaspoon sea salt. Set aside.
Boil eggs by placing 4 eggs into a saucepan and covering them with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. When boiling, turn off the burner and cover to sit for 10 minutes. Drain and run under cold water until the eggs are cool – peel, slice, and set aside.
Next, season 4 (4-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts with ½ tablespoon Garlic & Herb seasoning and ¾ teaspoon sea salt. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until the breast is browned and cooked through (165°F).
Sliced chicken, hard-boiled eggs, and sliced avocado are layered over leafy salad greens on a platter to serve family-style or divided into bowls individually. Serve with prepared green goddess dressing.
RECIPE # 5
Jalapeño Popper Cauliflower “Mac & Cheese”
Rich in flavor and another excellent recipe for sneaking in some extra veggies is this Jalapeño Popper Cauliflower “Mac & Cheese.”
Comfort food cravings aren’t much better satisfied than when you eat this creamy, cheesy, low-carb dish with a bit of kick!
We’re roasting the cauliflower before adding it to the sauce to get as much flavor as possible. So you’ll begin by preheating the oven to 400°F. Next, cut up two heads of cauliflower into florets and spread them onto a sheet pan. Toss with 2 tablespoons of grapeseed oil, sprinkle with ½ teaspoon sea salt, and then pop into the oven to roast for about 25 minutes or just until tender.
Meanwhile, line a second sheet pan with foil, laying eight bacon strips in a single layer. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the bacon is cooked to the desired doneness. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
In a large, high-sided pot, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat, add 2-3 seeded and diced jalapeños, and sauté until tender. Note: wear gloves or wash your hands immediately after handling the jalapeños. When tender, add eight ounces of cream cheese and 1 cup of heavy cream, and stir until the cream cheese melts and the sauce starts forming. Next, stir in ½ cup Alfredo Extraordinaire (Wildtree) and 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese until melted and the sauce is combined. Finally, add the roasted cauliflower and toss it in the sauce.
If desired, top with crumbled bacon, sliced scallions, additional grated cheese, and more sliced jalapenos.
RECIPE # 6
Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken & Zoodles
Winner, winner, chicken dinner! This Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken & Zoodles is really something to crow about!
It doesn’t get much better than a bright springtime chicken dinner without the guilt factor!
This meal takes just 15 minutes from start to finish. You’ll begin by seasoning 1 ½ pound boneless skinless chicken breast using 1 ½ tablespoon Garlic & Herb seasoning and 1 teaspoon sea salt. Next, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through (165°F). Remove from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
Using the same skillet, melt 3 tablespoons butter, add 3 tablespoons minced garlic, and 2 pounds spiralized zucchini noodles. (One pound spiralized zucchini equals about two medium-sized, 5-6 ounce zucchinis.) Season with ½ teaspoon sea salt. Sauté the zoodles until heated thoroughly, then toss in ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
To serve, slice the cooked chicken on the bias before plating it all up with a healthy serving of zoodles and sprinkling it with parmesan cheese.
It’s a super easy-peasy low-carb dinner that comes at around 400 calories.
RECIPE # 7
Garlic Parmesan Crusted Salmon
Oh my! This Garlic Parmesan Crusted Salmon recipe is another dish that’s so darned good and so perfect to lighten things up as we head into springtime!
This sheet pan dinner will make ending your busy day so simple!
To make it, you’ll preheat your oven to 400°F, then pull out a sheet pan and tear off some parchment to fit the bottom.
This dinner is perfect with fresh asparagus (you’ll need two bunches). Place the asparagus spears (one handful on each end of the sheet pan), and arrange four salmon fillets (about 1 ½ pounds) placed in the center of the pan.
Drizzle the asparagus with 2 tablespoons of grapeseed oil and season with ½ teaspoon sea salt.
Combine 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, and 1 tablespoon Garlic & Herb seasoning in a small bowl to crust the salmon. Mix to combine, then spread the mixture over the top of the salmon. Pop the sheet pan in the oven to bake for about 15 minutes or until the asparagus is tender and the salmon is cooked through (145°F).
That’s it! Dinner is ready to devour, and cleanup is pretty easy too!
RECIPE # 8
Shrimp Alfredo Stuffed Portabellas
If you’re into switching things up a bit with traditional recipes, and you love stuffed portabellas, and if you’re a fan of alfredo sauce (well, yeah!), this recipe for Shrimp Alfredo Stuffed Portabellas needs to be what’s for dinner.
Wrapping up this month’s Keto-Friendly collection, we’re saving one of the best (we love) for last!
To make these beefy portabella babies, you will need about one pound (7-8) jumbo-size mushroom caps to make healthy appetite-sized portions for dinner.
These stuffed portabellas would also be a great appetizer at your next gathering or something extra to serve at Easter Brunch. Just saying… 😜!
This version of the recipe is perfect for springtime, mainly because it uses asparagus as the veggie. Still, you also can make it using other veggies like eggplant, zucchini, and sweet or roasted peppers – you get the idea.
Otherwise, the largest of the baby portabellas will make delicious appetizer bites. And, believe me. You’ll want to eat more than just one of the bite-size stuffed mushrooms!
So let’s get making!!
First, preheat your oven to 400°F. As that heats up, use a spoon to remove the stems and the gills from the mushrooms and place them on a sheet pan.
Next, heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add ½ yellow onion (diced), 1 pound of asparagus (chopped), and 2 tablespoons of minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until the asparagus becomes tender before transferring it to a mixing bowl.
To the sautéed asparagus, add 8 ounces softened cream cheese, 1 ½ pounds chopped raw shrimp (be sure to peel, devein, and remove the tails), and ½ cup Alfredo Extraordinaire (Wildtree). Stir everything up to combine.
Stuff the mushrooms with the vegetable and shrimp mixture and bake for about 20 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender.
Remove from the oven to top with mozzarella cheese (about 1 cup, grated), then broil on low for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Serve and enjoy!
