Would you top your eggplant parm with pepperoni? First I baked the eggplant just w olive oil no breading. Either way pepperoni adds a little something something? Are you a pepperoni lover?

The quickest five minute low-carb dessert: Whipped Ricotta with a little bit of swerve, vanilla or berries. I use a mini food processor and voila. I’ve seen a lot of recipes use honey, which would be great too (especially spread on toast). This is my keto version of a fast sweet treat.

Happy National Cabbage Day!❤️ You might think you don’t like cabbage but I think you might really like this red cabbage salad. I use the OXO spiralizer. #linkinprofile (affiliate) https://amzn.to/3qwB2t0

#redcabbage #saladrecipe #cabbagesalad #natiionalcabbageday #shallots #viniagrette #spinachtiger #healthyrecipe #redcabbageslaw #redcabbagerecipe #spiralizer #oxo #rawdiet
_______________________________________

* 1 small head red cabbage
* 1 large carrot
* 1/4 cup salted roasted pumpkin seeds may need up to 1/2 cup
* Shallot Vinaigrette
* 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
* 2 tablespoons minced shallots
* 1/4 cup white wine vinegar can use red wine or white wine or champagne vinegar
* juice of 1/2 lemon
* 1/2 to 3/4 cups extra virgin olive oil
* sea salt
* pepper
Instructions
* Trim red cabbage and shred with either food processor, knife or spiralizer. 
* Peel and trim carrot. Julienne or shred. Add to cabbage. You can use more carrot if you like. I just used a small amount for color. 
* Toss cabbage with vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. Toss again. Taste to make sure the cabbage is acidic enough. As it marinates, it will lose some of the acid. 
* Add pumpkin seeds, reserving some for topping right before serving. 
Shallot Vinaigrette
* Mix mustard, shallots, lemon juice and vinegar. 
* Add oil. Shake in jar or use whisk to incorporate. 
* Add dressing. You may not use all of the dressing, depending on size of head of cabbage used.

am so excited to say this is a KETO TIRAMISU, grain free, gluten free, sugar free, but you would never know it. 👩🏻‍🍳Many tricky parts to conquer. First, there are no keto lady fingers. I used my keto yellow cake batter to make cake fingers. 👩🏻‍🍳❤️Worked like a charm and did not fall apart when dipped into espresso. Second tricky part: Making the sabayon (eggs yolks w sweetener warmed and beaten in bain marie) which takes ten minutes of constant stirring. Also tricky to use swerve and not sugar and not getting grainy, as erythritol doesn’t break down the same way sugar does. There was also a warning about the mascarpone curdling. That didn’t happen either. So maybe I got lucky. Next time will tell. I also added Red Eye Rye (coffee infused rye) to my espresso because to me tiramisu is not tiramisu without liquor. It came out so good 😋😋and very soon, I’ll soon be posting my recipe.
_______________________________________
One of the things I love about alternative baking is the challenge. I get so energized trying to see if I can take a classic and cut out the grains and sugar. I honestly believe this is no longer a trend, but a way of life for many people who never want to return to sugar and it’s headaches (literally). It’s a movement to revolutionize the mistakes from the latter half of the last century that has made so many people sick and compromised. I see this as bigger picture thing than just enjoying a dessert. We are recreating and creating what it means to eat.

Happy Chocolate Day or should I say Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️💘Can you believe this is the first time I’ve ever made chocolate bark? I needed an emergency chocolate dessert for a gathering (I thought was going to be cancelled). I had the chocolate (that yum 72 % huge chocolate bar from Trader Joe’s), 🍫a pomegranate, pecans and almonds (I roasted with salt), some sunflower seeds, dried cherries and dried cranberries. Melt chocolate in bain marie (fancy word for bowl over simmering water), pour on parchment and then artfully or not so artfully arrange your stuff on the chocolate. 🍫Refrigerate for ONE HOUR and boom! Everyone LOVED it and ate it all up. The pomegranates gave it that little extra something something and don’t forget some sea salt. 😋❤️
Do you make bark? Do you eat all the chocolate you want on Valentine’s Day?

I had my first porchetta in San Francisco and my second in Lucca, Tuscany. This is mock porchetta from the Zuni Cafe Cookbook that gets you close enough in your own kitchen. Stuff the pork butt with fennel seeds, garlic, rosemary, sage, capers and lemon and cook to slow to fork tender. It’s amazing as sandwich on sliders with arugula. Or…like this with root vegetables.

I’m always looking for a new way to make chicken.👩🏻‍🍳 Ricotta stuffed chicken breasts is 30 minutes from start to finish. Writing this recipe up today, but it’s pretty easy. Pound the breasts thin. Mix ricotta with chopped spinach, mozzarella, parmesan, salt and pepper. Fold. Top with pork panko (crumbs made from pork rinds). Fry on one side. Turn over. Put in oven. Bake about 15-20 minutes. You could go right to the oven and bake longer. Serve with lemon.
