How the Sugar Industry Shifted Blame to Fat
"The sugar industry paid scientists in the 1960s to play down the link between sugar and heart disease and promote saturated fat as the culprit instead, newly released historical documents show..." https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/13/w...-fat.html?_r=0

I am going to make this for dinner tonight, because I already have a big bowl of zucchini noodles prepared. Thinking I will definitely use more than 1-2 strips of bacon though! Lol! It's like a BLT bowl! Yum!
SPICY BACON, LETTUCE AND ROASTED TOMATO ZUCCHINI PASTA Ingredients: 1 serving= about 5 carbs 1 cup cherry tomatoes olive oil to drizzle salt and pepper to taste 1-2 strips bacon 1 tsp minced garlic 1 pinch red pepper flakes 1 cup chopped kale, large stems removed 1 large zucchini, spiralized or just julienne if you don't have a spiralizer Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the tomatoes in a baking tray and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Toss to combine thoroughly and season generously with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Set aside once done (they’ll be used in the pasta). Ten minutes into baking the tomatoes, place a large skillet over medium heat and add in the bacon slices. Cook the bacon for 3 minutes and then flip over and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until bacon is to your preferred crispiness. Using a slotted spoon, set aside the bacon on a paper-towel lined plate when done. Pour out half of the bacon fat in the skillet and keep the rest in the skillet. Add in the garlic, cook for 1 minute and then add in the red pepper flakes and kale. Cook the kale until mostly wilted. Add in the zucchini pasta, roasted tomatoes, and bacon. Stir frequently for about 2-3 minutes or until noodles are coated with tomato juices and have softened. Pour the noodles into a bowl and enjoy!

This turned out really good! I used spinach in place of kale because it was what I had in the house. I also roasted a red bell pepper in with the tomatoes. Finally I added a little walnut pesto to the pan towards the end of cooking. I will definitely make it again. You could even stir in a cauliflower cream sauce and use different veggies & chicken/shrimp for an alfredo type dish.

Irish Soda Bread Buns
I discovered this recipe in my newsletter from the place I usually buy my grass fed meat from. I haven't tried it yet, but decided to post it in case anyone else is interested in making it. I have a silicone hamburger bun baking thingamajig that I am going to bake these on. Pic links back to U.S. Wellness Meats which is where I copied the recipe from.
P.S. I wanted to add that I have made some very similar to these and they turned out well. Experimenting has taught me to use blanched almond flour for breads. Unblanched is just too course and dense for bread. Ingredients: 2½ cups almond flour 1/3 cup tapioca starch 1/4 tsp celtic sea salt 1½ tsp baking soda 2 tbs coconut sugar 2 whole eggs 2 tbs apple cider vinegar caraway seeds Directions: In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, sea salt, baking soda and coconut sugar. In a smaller mixing bowl, combine eggs and apple cider vinegar and beat lightly. Pour wet ingredients into dry and combine thoroughly. Place dough on a piece of parchment paper and form into a large circle about 8 inches in diameter and 1½ to 2 inches high. Cut dough into quarters and reform into circles about 3 inches across and 1½ to 2 inches high. Use a sharp knife to score a cross into each piece of dough. Top dough with caraway seeds Bake at 400° F for 15-20 minutes. Soda bread is done when it is golden brown in color and a toothpick comes out clean once inserted. Using a bread knife, slice Irish Soda Bread buns in half lengthwise.

Here is one of my own dressings:
Citrus Balsamic Dressing 1 tsp of herbes de province .5 to 1 tbsp of cumin (I like cumin so I tend to use a tablespoon full) Juice of 2 medium oranges (between 1/2 & 3/4 of a cup ideally) 3 healthy tbsp of Balsamic vinegar 1/2 cup of evoo (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) minced garlic clove (optional) salt & pepper to taste This can be whisked in a bowl or blended up in a blender. Add everything to your chosen container EXCEPT for the evoo. Blend or whisk and then slowly drizzle the oil into the mixture until all ingredients are blended well. Best if allowed to chill in the fridge for 30 min or so to allow the flavors to marry, but can be served immediately. Easy peasy!

I save recipes even if I never make them.
This one looks so good, though it has so many steps! Death By Chocolate Cheesecake Yield: 1 cake Serving Size: 1/16th of cake The richest, densest, most chocolatey low carb cheesecake recipe on the planet. Your dream keto dessert recipe. Ingredients Crust: 1 1/4 cup almond flour 1/4 cup cocoa powder 1/4 cup Swerve Sweetener 3 tbsp butter, melted Filling: 6 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate, chopped 1 tbsp butter 24 ounces cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup Swerve Sweetener 1/2 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener 1 tsp vanilla extract 3 large eggs, room temperature 1/4 cup cocoa powder 1/3 cup heavy cream, room temperature 2 tsp melted butter for brushing sides of pan Topping: 3/4 cup whipping cream 1/3 cup confectioner's Swerve Sweetener 3 oz unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped 1/2 tsp vanilla extract Instructions Crust: Preheat oven to 325F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, and sweetener. Stir in melted butter until well combined. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, and then remove and reduce oven temperature to 300F. Filling: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt dark chocolate with butter, stirring until smooth. Set aside to let cool. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in sweeteners and vanilla extract, then beat in eggs one at a time, scraping down beaters and sides of bowl as needed. Beat in cocoa powder and heavy cream until well combined, then beat in melted chocolate until mixture is completely smooth. Brush sides of springform pan with melted butter, taking care not to disturb the crust. Pour filling into pan and gently shake from side to side to even out. Bake 55 to 60 minutes, or until filling is mostly set but still jiggles just a little in the center. Remove and let cool 15 minutes, then run a sharp knife around the inside of the pan to loosen. Let cool completely. Once cool, remove sides, cover tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours. Topping: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cream and sweetener. Bring to just a simmer, then remove from heat and add chopped chocolate and vanilla. Let sit 5 minutes and then whisk until smooth. Pour over the top of the chilled cheesecake, allowing some to drip down the sides. Chill until set. Notes Serves 16. Each serving has 11.49 g of carbs and 6.27 g of fiber. Total NET CARBS = 5.22 g.

Salt n Pepper Crackers!
I made these salt n pepper crackers today, except I also added thyme to the mix. They are really good, and super easy to whip up in a food processor! Now I may just have to make a trip to the store for some cheese and maybe summer sausage to go with them. These crackers will become a staple in my house!
I also have a recipe for some coconut flour crackers but I want to make sure the recipe works before posting it here. Salt And Pepper Crackers Ingredients: 2 cups blanched almond flour (not almond meal) 1 large egg ½ teaspoon celtic sea salt ½ teaspoon ground black pepper Instructions: 1. Place almond flour, egg, salt, and pepper in a food processor 2. Pulse until dough forms 3. Place dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper 4. Roll out dough to 1/16 inch thick, then remove top piece of parchment paper 5. Transfer bottom piece of parchment paper with rolled out dough onto baking sheet 6. Cut into 2 inch squares using a pizza cutter or a knife 7. Sprinkle with extra salt and pepper if desired 8. Bake at 350° for 12-14 minutes 9. Serve elanaspantry.com

Here is a pic of my "rustic" crackers! ha! They have a great crunch and taste. I didn't have a rolling pin on hand, but I am going to make one so that I can make a thinner cracker next time. They are filling, so no worries about eating too many.

Yum! I made this to use for dipping when I make rice paper rolls like I did this afternoon. I used a little honey for the sweetener. You can use almonds or cashews or some of both. It is really good and is a nice stand in for peanut sauce.

Yum! This is my new favorite dough recipe for pizzas and other goodies. You have to scroll down through all of the monologue to get to the actual recipe but it is well worth it!

I got a recipe off Pinterest awhile ago for Crack Slaw and I'm going to make some tonight. I love it but my spouse does not, so she can have leftovers!
