TikTok Live with @hurricanemercedes Irish Soda Bread #keto

  


Irish soda bread 
(low carb keto version!)
Here's the recipe that Hurricane Mercedes and I made 
on her TikTok live show February 12, 2022.  
We got the recipe from:

Oven: 350°, 25-28 minutes

1 1/4 cups almond flour
2 Tbsp coconut flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp kosher salt
1/2 Tbsp sweetener (We used monk fruit erythritol blend)
1 oz raisins or currants (We used dried cranberries)
1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 large eggs, whisked
2 Tbsp sour cream, heavy cream, or half and half (We used sour cream)

* Preheat oven to 350F. Grease an 8-inch cast iron skillet or pan and set aside.
* In a medium bowl, add the dry ingredients and dried fruit, and mix well, mixing in any clumps.
* Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
* Form an oval loaf on the skillet or pan and score the top in an X with a knife. Sprinkle with additional sweetener if you like.
* Bake for 25-28 minutes or until golden brown, and a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean.
* Allow to cool for a few minutes in the pan before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
* Once fully cooked, slice with a serrated knife and serve with good butter.

Delicious!!!

Cauliflower Casserole #glutenfree #grainfree #lowcarb #recipe

Cauliflower Casserole


I saw a recipe for a similar dish, but it called for two cups of sour cream. I love sour cream but sour cream loves my hips, so it has to go. Then I got the idea of using non-fat cottage cheese in its place. I haven't tried using reduced-fat mayo, and of course cheese is loaded with fat, but at least it's low in carbs.  

This dish was an instant hit at our house.  Sometimes, if the head of cauliflower is small, it's a little soupy, but still delicious.  I suggested a few variations at the end of the recipe and my daughter has even more ideas.  This recipe is so basic that you can add pretty much whatever suits your fancy--spice it up if you want, or add other low-carb vegetables.  Give it a try!

And now, let's make it!

Oven: 350 degrees

Ingredients

1 head cauliflower, cut in 1.5" cubes
1/2 cup minced onion (more or less to taste)
3 cups cheese (your choice--I used cheddar)
2 cups cottage cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 TBS minced garlic (more or less to taste)
pepper to taste (we like lots)

Boil or nuke cauliflower until desired tenderness.

Nuke onion until tender.  (Don't boil with cauliflower)

While the above two are cooking:
In blender, buzz cottage cheese, mayonnaise, garlic, and pepper until smooth

In a bowl, stir together the above mixture and onions with half the grated cheese.

Drain cauliflower and stir into mixture.

Pour (glob, actually) into a 9x9 pan.  Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

Bake 15 minutes or until cheese is slightly browned.

Variations:
Add 6 strips of diced crisp bacon

Add diced jalapenos

I'm going to try it with half broccoli next time and see how that turns out.

Note: I used a cup of onion and 3 TBS garlic, and of course lots of pepper.

Got any other ideas?  Let me know!
