Low Carb Lemon Chicken Kabobs

A flavorful & tender chicken & vegetable kabob.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons Aloha Brand Hawaiian low sodium soy sauce**
1/4 cup fresh ginger, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 - 1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon dried chives
1 1/2 large red onions
1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
16 large mushrooms
8 wooden skewers

Method:
Cut the chicken into cubes and place in a container with a lid.
Mix together the juice, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, black pepper and chives. Pour over the cubed chicken and mix well to make certain all of the chicken is covered. Cover and refrigerate. Marinate for 2 to 4 hours.
Place the wooden skewers in a pan and cover with water, Soak for 30 minutes or longer.
Cut the onions into 8 chunks. Cut the bell peppers into 24 pieces. Wash and trim the stems of the mushrooms. Add to the marinating chicken for 15 minutes.
Thread the chicken alternately with the peppers and mushrooms, ending with an onion wedge.
Grill for 10 minutes, turning to cook all sides. Or, place on a foil lined baking pan and broil, in an oven, for 10 minutes. Turn after 5 minutes to cook both sides. If desired, place the leftover marinade in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer while the kabobs cook. Makes 4 to 8 servings. If desired, drizzle a little bit of the simmered marinade over each kabob on the serving plate.

**Aloha brand low salt soy sauce is delicious, inexpensive and has less carbs than other soy sauce brands.

Notes: This recipe was so simple to make and a crowd pleaser. My husband said it was the best chicken he had ever tasted!

Cheesecake Factory Meatloaf ~ A KETO Friendly Version

A gourmet, delicious & impressive meatloaf meal!
Pictured: One slice of meatloaf with roasted asparagus, garlic & tomatoes.
Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork or lamb*
1/2 pound ground turkey or veal*
3/4 cup large-curd cottage cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped red or orange bell pepper
1/2 cup (1 ounce) pork panko**
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup sugar free ketchup or tomato sauce
1/4 cup dry red wine
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
salt & pepper to taste 
mashed cauliflower (optional)
sugar free ketchup (optional)

Method:
Preheat oven to 375*. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. (The best method is to wear gloves and mix with both hands.) Lightly coat a loaf pan and a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Pack into a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Invert onto greased baking sheet. Bake for 65 minutes or until done. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
If desired, serve on top of mashed cauliflower and with sugar free ketchup. 
Serves 6.

*The original recipe uses a combination of beef, pork and veal.
**You can use regular pork rinds and crush them, but I highly recommend purchasing a bag of "Pork Panko". (I found it online.) I tried some recipes that called for crushed pork rinds, but I gag at the smell and taste of regular pork rinds, and when crushed, I find that their consistency becomes gummy. Pork Panko has the texture of bread crumbs and can be substituted in any recipe that calls for regular panko or bread crumbs. (When stored in the refrigerator, they will remain fresh until needed.)
Notes: My family loved this meal! The oven roasted asparagus went well with the meat. To see the recipe, on this blog, please click on the link below:

SUPER SIMPLE & Delicious Pineapple Upside Down Cake (Even Better Than Grandma's!)


Pineapple Upside Down Cake is a pretty and tasty bite of nostalgia, that reminds me of Grandma and the delicious aromas & warmth of her country kitchen. This recipe produces a moist cake with caramelized edges and fruit, that is a simple dessert or addition to a Brunch menu. It can be served by itself or with whipped and/or ice cream.

Ingredients:
coconut oil cooking spray
6 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup brown sugar**
7 pineapple rings (one 20 ounce can pineapple rings packed in juice)
9 maraschino cherries
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs

Method:
Preheat an oven to 350*. (325* if using a glass pan.) Lightly spray the bottom and sides of a 9 inch square pan and set aside. 
Melt the butter and brown sugar in a small frying pan over medium heat. Stir frequently until the mixture becomes bubbly. Pour the brown sugar mixture into the prepared dish and allow to cool slightly.
Drain the liquid from the can of pineapple slices and set aside. Cut 2 of the pineapple slices in half. Place 1 whole ring in the center of the dish and the other whole rings in the corners of the pan. Arrange the halved slices in between the  whole slices.


Position the cherries in the center of the slices. Set aside.
Sift together the flour, baking powder and nutmeg and set aside.
Place the butter, sugar and vanilla into a large bowl. Use an electric mix to cream the ingredients, until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs and continue to beat until well mixed in, for about 1 minute.
On low speed, mix in the the sifted ingredients in 3 parts, alternately with a 1/2 cup of the reserved pineapple juice, mixing about 30 seconds after each addition. (Beginning and ending wit the dry ingredients.) 
Use a bowl scraper/spatula to spread the thick batter evenly over the fruit in the pan. (Tap the pan lightly, once, the counter, to settle the batter.) Place the pan on a cookie sheet and bake in the preheated oven, for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is gloden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Place the cake on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Run a butter knife around the edges and then, using pot holders or oven mitts, carefully invert onto a platter. Lift the pan off of the cake. (If you wait longer than 10 minutes to invert the cake, it may not release from the baking dish.) Serve warm or at room temperature. Use a serrated knife to cut into 9 pieces. Serve alone or garnish with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.  Leftover portions may be stored, in an airtight container, at room temperature for 3 days, or for longer, in the refrigerator.

**I use dark brown sugar.

Note: My Beloved Uncle & Auntie were reminiscing about the Pineapple Upside Down Cakes that their Mothers' used to make, so I decided to bake one for them to enjoy. They were happy and loved it!

The BEST (& Easy) Slow Cooker Keto Friendly Corned Beef & Cabbage

A Delicious melt in your mouth meal!
When I was a child, every March, our family looked forward to a corned beef and cabbage meal. Back then, the meat and veggies were covered with water, in a pot on top of the stove, and boiled until almost mushy. As an adult, I prefer cooking the meal in a slow cooker and allowing the cabbage to steam. Even though this method is very simple, the result is superior to most other recipes.

Ingredients:
4 pounds lean corned beef roast**
1 (12 ounce) bottle light beer
1/2 cup very strong coffee
water
2 pounds radishes (optional)
1  head of cabbage, cut into 8 wedges
16 tablespoons brown deli mustard (optional)
3/4 cup sour cream (optional)
3 to 4 tablespoons grated horseradish (optional)

Method:
Remove the beef from it's package and rinse off the seasonings. Place the roast in the basin of a slow cooker.. Add the beer and coffee. Add just enough water to completely cover the roast. Cover and cook on low for 5 1/2 hours.
Rinse and remove the stems from the radishes. Leave small radishes whole and cut large radishes in half.  Add to the liquid in the slow cooker. If necessary, move the beef above the radishes, so that they are completely immersed. Place the cabbage wedges on top of the meat. (It is okay if the cabbage is touching the liquid, but it should not be immersed. Continue to cook for another 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the vegetables are tender. When the meal has finished cooking, use tongs to remove the cabbage to a serving platter. Remove the beef to a carving board. Slice off any exterior fat and cut into 1/2 - 1 inch thick slices. Use a slotted spoon to remove the radishes from the liquid. Add to the meat and cabbage on the platter. Makes 8 servings. If desired, serve with brown mustard and a sauce created by mixing the sour cream and horseradish together. 

**Each year, when corned beef is plentiful, and on sale, I buy 2 or more, and store the extras in the freezer.

Nutritional info per serving (with all optional ingredients: radishes, mustard & horseradish sauce), approximately:
691 calories ~ 48 grams fat ~ 10.8 grams net carbs ~ 45 grams protein

Nutritional info per serving (with mustard and without radishes and horseradish sauce), approximately:
631 calories ~ 44 grams fat ~ 7.5 grams net carbs ~ 44 grams protein

Notes: I recently served this meal to my husband and godparents. My husband, who has never cared for corned beef, loved how tender and tasty the meat was. My auntie said that the cabbage was the best she ever tasted. We like to garnish the meat and veggies with both the horseradish sauce and mustard ~ Delicious!
