Cheesy Grain Free Pigs in a Blanket

Editor’s Note: These can also be made with the new keto dinner roll recipe, which is actually easier to execute.

Grain Free Pigs in the Blanket or Biscuit Dogs

I don’t eat many hot dogs, but when I want one, I want one. If I were Retro Rose, I’d head to Costco for the best $1.50 hot dog you can buy.

However, for now, Doug and I are following the keto diet and that means no bun, not even a gluten free bun. This also means I get very creative in the kitchen. Sometimes I wrap a dog in my grain free tortillas.

Sometimes I made cheesy grain-free pigs in the blanket using the batter from these grain free biscuits or as I like to call them, biscuit dogs.

My go products are almond flour and coconut flour. (amazon).

Why We Eat Grain Free (most of the time)

I am not an evangelist for keto, and more of a proponent of eating as grain free as possible 80% of the time. I also know all bodies are different.

My body gets fat on carbs. My husband gets brain fog on carbs, but doesn’t gain the weight I do. You must find what works for you, but if you’re avoiding grains, carbs or foods that spike in blood sugar, I’m happy to offer some creative alternatives.

This is Not a Keto or Gluten Free Blog – It’s a Big Fat Healthy Food Blog

This doesn’t mean we will never eat carbs again. We will. But we are mindful, and will not make it a three times a day habit. I have gotten some rude emails from people upset because I use Swerve or upset because I post non-keto recipes. To this I say go somewhere that makes you happy. This is NOT a keto blog. This is not a gluten free blog. This is not a grain free blog. This is a big fat healthy blog that presents options.

Like it or leave it, but don’t write me demanding I cook for you as if I’m your personal chef. Don’t screen shot my posts and send me a lecture in all caps. Move along into your kitchen or move along to another blog.

STOP THE FOOD SHAMING! The climate is rough out there and hate mail is the new Valentine. I got a doozy from a 73 year old woman, so we cannot blame this on millenials.

Why I am Making a Lot of Keto Recipes Lately

We have seen this diet change a few lives, and it’s not just about weight loss.

Doug’s colleague was and still is having serious neurological issues including a swollen brain stem.  Most doctors had not been able to figure it out or offer much relief. One doctor recommended the keto diet  and so far, it’s been the only that thing that has given him decent improvement. The keto diet originally was prescribed for people with seizures.

I’m not a doctor and I don’t know why this works, but I do know many people have been helped in various ways from following this diet, and it’s not always about losing weight. It’s about healing.

Update to our Keto Life

We are now in year three and so much has happened. I’m still at a seven pound weight loss, but what you don’t know is that I lost my weight as a teenager and more as young adult. Almost 50 pounds. I’ve been able to maintain that eating a low-carb life style. Last summer I opened a home keto bakery and now teach keto baking classes.

Try this recipe with my new dinner roll dough

The new dinner rolls have blown the students away and they work very well in this recipe. You might want to use this dinner rolls dough instead of the biscuit dough. It’s just as easy to make and actually maybe easier to execute. I hope to bring you pictures soon, but it’s been tested.

Keto is the first eating plan for weight loss and health improvement that we found works easier as a lifestyle without the diet/binge fallback. We have not approached this as a quick weight loss boom. It’s more of a way to enjoy food without weight gain and aiding our health in the meantime. Doug’s 12lbs weight loss happened over a period of two months, not one week!

Biscuit Wrapped Grain Free Pigs in a Blanket

Eating grain free and low-carb has caused me to get very creative in the kitchen and push a few envelopes to see what happens.

During this year’s super bowl party, I decided to test out the idea of wrapping all beef hot dogs in my grain free biscuit recipe a grain free pigs in a blanket recipe. I like Trader Joe’s Grass fed hot dogs and Boar’s Head hot dogs.

Putting the biscuit batter around the dogs is a litle tricky, but with a little patience, it works well, especially with a sprinkle of poppy seeds. During the last few minutes of baking, I  sprinkle with cheddar cheese and put back in the oven until melted.

If you’re not eating grain free you can use my other biscuit recipes. This will work with my southern fluffy biscuit and my gluten free biscuit. All three biscuit recipes have videos.

Cheesy Grain Free Pigs in a Blanket Can be Made Ahead, Frozen and Reheated

This is the best news. I made the whole package and froze what we didn’t eat. The next day, I reheated two in the oven at 400 degrees F. and they were delicious. I made some of them into mini grain free pigs in a blanket, which is great for quick snacking. All you need is mustard. Enjoy!

        Oh my goodness! I am so sorry you have to read that junk you get, criticizing everything you do. I simply do not understand people. There is no right way to cook, and most people should know that. I love your emails, and I am not keto. I am just gluten free, and not by choice, so your recipes answer my needs. And, if they don’t, I simply don’t make them. If I refrigerated the dough before wrapping the hot dog in it, would that make it easier to deal with? I know that many gluten free doughs really improve after refrigeration and are easier to work with. I am bringing an appetizer to a Superbowl party, and these sound like fun! Thank you for all your creative efforts.

        So happy to see you’re advocating against food shaming. I think it’s something that is rife in the community and can be really detrimental towards individual health goals.
        These pigs in blankets look amazing. Super hungry now! Thanks for posting.

        You said you reheated these at 400 degrees, but, you did not say what degree you cook them???? I did 350 degrees. bummer. I cranked it up to 400 but much to late to salvage them. I a definitely trying them again. Thank you very much. I’m assuming that I am to cook these initially at 400???

        I agree. There are enough problems in the world without people food shaming one another as well. I love your blog. I don’t follow any particular diets – I just eat what tastes good, and your recipes fit the bill. I love trying out new recipes, especially ones that offer a new take on a classic. Thank you for all of your hard word. It tastes divine.

        Thanks for sharing this recipe, it looks amazing!
        So glad I found your blog – ignore the haters/folks that are always bitter. 🙂
        We also started eating mostly keto about 1 1/2 years ago due to my diabetes. I was on meds to keep it under control and did not want to take them forever, I began eating mostly keto and lost 75 pounds in about a year – my A1C is now under control without the use of the meds!! My hubby also lost weight and feels a ton better – we love it!

          Thanks Karen,
          I don’t get too many haters, (except on youtube) but everyone does. Haha. So glad you found this, You MUST try the keto grain free tortillas because so so easy. I make them every week and freeze. Congratulations on losing weight. I have me and my husband on it mainly for brain health, but we both lost a size, which we needed to So YAY! We love this way of eating. And we are foodies!

I hope you’re having the best Saturday you can have. I did a lot of early baking and now it’s me and Peaches watching the PBS Masterpiece Theater. I love my subscription to Acorn and Britbox, PBS. Anyone else an Acorn fan? I love Agatha Raisin, Deadwater fell, Doc Martin, Delicious, Nothing Trivial, 800 Words, The Heart Guy, Murdock Mysteries, A Place to Call Home, Poirot, Mount Pleasant, Father Brown. 
On Brit Box, the funniest show (and uplifting) I’ve ever seen is Mrs. Brown’s Boys. HIGHLY recommend that but beware of some swear words. (It’s Irish)

      Taco Tuesday, even if you’re on keto! At first glance you would think you can’t eat this on a low carb diet. Think again. Fish fried with pork panko, sitting in my grain free tortillas (which you can buy in my bakery by the way). You can use a food processor to transform pork rinds into pork panko. I found the pork panko at costco (affordable, finally and they are life changing for a grain free diet).

      We cannot control the crazy in our wold right now, but we can control what we eat. This spicy salmon is keto friendly with ground pork rinds giving crunch. Not only seriously delicious, but Omega 3 good for you. 
I choose healthy but I also choose pleasurable food. This is placed atop cauliflower rice and some nice white wine wouldn’t hurt either.  The spicy comes from Trader Joe’s Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce made with fermented  Calabrian chili peppers. It’s my new go to. EASY Recipe coming soon.

      My most popular blog post is this New York Strip Steak, 185,000 times this year! And, I get the nicest comments about my method. It’s a pan sear and then to oven recipe, but the tips are what bring success. It’s not a reverse sear, which I’ve done with some other steaks, because I like that method with really thick steak. Strip steaks tend to be thinner and the sear and roast method keeps my steak medium rare. Salt and Pepper are my only seasonings…Maybe a bit of butter and thyme. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/new-york-strip-steak-recipe/

Tips for the Perfect Steak

* Salt the steak 24 hours in advance. It goes into the meat overnight, adds moisture and enhances flavor
* Don’t cover steaks in the fridge. The outside of the steak should be dry if you want to sear them. Put them on a rack so both sides dry.
* Make sure the steak is dry, before searing. When ready to cook, I used to think my steak needed to come down to room temperature, but I now find that I get a better sear  with a cold steak, as long as the steak is dry. It’s the water that comes out of the steak that prevents that nice sear, also known as the mallaird effect.
* Start with a very hot  cast iron pan.
* Do not add oil until pan is hot.
* Use a round grill press, if you can, but no worries if you don’t have one.

      Happy New Year! Fingers crossed🤞🏼. Prayers said. 🙏🏻Celebrating today with carnitas and a black eyed peas dip. 👩🏻‍🍳Lucky black eyed peans mean prosperous. Eating pork is also something about pigs rooting forward. Growing up we ate pork and sauerkraut every New Years. 🥳Today it’s a little bit more modern. The black eyed peas is coupled with black beans, pickled red onion from @thekitchn, pickled jalapeño, cilantro, various bell pepper, lime juice avocado and plenty of salt. You must have the salt to awaken and balance the vinegar. Since last week’s Nashville bombing, my appetite was meh. Today is a new year and I’ve invited company and look forward to all the good every year has, no matter what. Helmet of salvation beats this earth stuff any day! (Recipe will come to the blog this week). SpinachTiger dot com reached 12 years!

      Cheeseball and Peaches  have so enjoyed the lockdown this year! This is a rare moment when they are actually cuddling together. They cuddle people more. They have the large deck outside to roam. They race around chasing each other in the middle of the night and for them life is wonderful. Reflecting on the past year, I’m truly an optimist, even in 2020.  Many good things happened, shadowed by Covid fallout some because of Covid. The biggest down for me personally was the lack of adventure, connection, parties, dining out, inviting people over, talking to my customers face to face. These are not shallow things. They are the things that boost the immune system and prolong life. Bread and water shared with people trumps a huge feast eaten alone. So my happiest times this year have been with people I love and the getaway at my friend’s farm. Getting OUTSIDE without a mask, without fear has meant everything. The joy of the Lord is my strength and I pray for a lot of JOY for 2021, for as a believer, it’s never pitch dark.

      How warped time is now. Three days ago, bombing in Nashville. FBI says solved. Life goes on. Power restored. Went to my usual Monday morning workout. HOWEVER, my brain and heart can’t catch up this fast. Taking a day to chill, process, and look at the big fat year ahead. Bakery owner, full-time food blogger. Thinking about what new doors to open, what doors I should shut. I’ll leave you with this. 2020 started off amazing! I scheduled my first bakery classes and was so gleeful to be able to make one of my dreams come true. In March they all had to be cancelled. The bakery grew during the lockdown! The blog took a major hit in ad dollars due to pandemic. The blog grew substantially in 4th quarter. The blog broke all $ records this month. The bakery closed for three weeks substantial exposure to Covid (taking care of those infected) I never got it! 34 year old sister in law (ex) died suddenly of pancreatic cancer six weeks after diagnosis in July. Her father died five months later. My step mother’s duties increased a bit due to this. She inherited $10,000 from a separate source. So like everyone else, its been up and down and up and down and I didn’t even mention politics, riots, etc. WOW! However, unlike most people, I’m going to call this the best year of my life and marriage. WHY? I started a prayer call in March, praying 4 to 5 days weekly. It has changed my life, my husband’s life and those who come to pray. It has meant EVERYTHING!  By the way this is a cake I never wrote about. Blackberry w lemon mascarpone. What is the ONE GREAT THING of 2020 you experienced?

      Can food make you feel better? Sometimes. But it’s been a rough two days. Remember when I said on Christmas Eve, “may tomorrow be as nice as this day: That didn’t age well. What a time! Great little Christmas morning and then I looked at my phone. A BOMB exploded in downtown Nashville. 😡😢Even though I live miles away, our cell service is still not working. We lost internet and TV as did thousands in five states.  Doug ran to Comcast the next morning to get us a temporary account. The scary thing aside from a BOMB, is how vulnerable we are with no cell service or internet (AT & T) as it was all housed in one building with no back up plan. Did you know our infrastructure is this vulnerable? Many of us still can’t call 911 if we needed to. 🙁We are grateful no residents were harmed from the bomb. We still don’t know the “who” in the remains. We don’t know what to believe. 🤷🏻‍♀️I highly recommend watching the Netflix show, Manhunt Deadly Games (about Richard Jewell (falsely accused) and Eric Rudolph (the actual Centennial Park Bomber). Great insight into serial bombers, lone wolfs, and the FBI. 🙏🏻 for not just Nashville but for America.

      Merry Christmas. 🎄In spite of all the bad that came with 2020, today was a good day. I found out my wonderful step mother unexpectedly inherited a nice sum of money which she needs badly and that made my heart sing. ❤️ I’m so thrilled when other people get good things they deserve. I was also thrilled with my two sour dough creations we had tonight👩🏻‍🍳. I am still baking from  Emilie Raffa’s Sourdough Made Simple book, and had to try the spinach dip stuffed braided loaf and the camembert wreath. 😋😋Both were HUGE hits, easy directions to follow and came out perfectly.  We had charcuterie, crab cakes, arugula salad and these breads. I think I may not eat again until next year. By the way those cute keto sugar cookies a few posts back were frozen and then brought out for today. Everyone loved them. I think they are even better after being frozen. 
May tomorrow be as nice as today! We all need a good day.

      Make a true Christmas flavored slab pie with cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, nutmeg, orange, and cranberries. I was inspired to use these flavors watching the Great British Baking Show. I hope one day I get to England. It was supposed to be this year and we all know how that didn’t happen. Prayers and cheer to everyone here. May 2021 get us back to what we used to know. People, travel, breaking bread or eating slab pie together.

      One in a life time Christmas Star. I was lucky enough to get out in the country to see it most clearly. #nofilter
