Pulled Pork BBQ Pizza (Keto-Style)

This recipe from: https://howtothisandthat.com/keto-fathead-pizza-bbq-pork/ turned out fantastic! I love the Fathead Dough for pizzas if you haven't tried it yet! So yummy!!! This is a new family favorite!


*Fathead dough

*BBQ sauce

*1.5 lbs pulled pork

*1 small onion

*Bacon bits

*1 tbsp butter

*1/4 cup mozzarella, shredded

*1/4 cup cheddar, shredded

*salt and pepper.
 

Directions:
 

For the pizza crust:

Ingredients

·         4oz cream cheese

·        1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

·         2 eggs, beaten

·         1/2 tsp garlic powder

·         2/3 cup almond flour

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°

 In a small bowl, add cream cheese and mozzarella. Microwave on high for 20 seconds at a time until melted.

Add remaining ingredients to the melted cheese.

Mix as well as you can. It does get a tad bit odd here, because mozzarella turns to a big glob when melted. It is ok, it will work together.

Grease a pizza pan, spread dough out into a 1/2″ thick circle and poke holes with fork in various spots on top.

Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown before adding finished BBQ pulled pork.

 

For the pork:

Head skillet over medium heat, add butter. Saute onions and bacon with salt and pepper. Add shredded pork. Heat through.

Meanwhile, prepare BBQ sauce in a sauce pan with the following:

·         1/4 cup brown sugar substitute

·         1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

·         1/4 cup white vinegar

·         1/2 cup water

·         2 tablespoons real butter

·         1 can tomato paste

·         1 teaspoon garlic powder

·         1 teaspoon onion powder

·         1 teaspoon dry yellow mustard

·         1 teaspoon salt

·         1 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)

 

Let simmer 5-10 minutes and add to pulled pork.

Once Fathead dough is done baking, add pulled pork on top and top with cheeses.

Bake another 7-10 minutes until melted and bubbly.


Enjoy!

 

 

Keto Hamburger, Sausage, Broccoli Alfredo

"You know you're a Minnesotan if you say a casserole is just a hotdish with an attitude." ~ Ed Fischer, You Know You're A Minnesotan.
 

I don't know about you but I love a good hotdish recipe. I love the simplicity of throwing everything together in one dish , the home-like flavors of a hearty dish, and the ability to feed a large group of people and still have leftovers. These are especially comforting meals in the cold winters! In case you need more, check out: here and here!

Without further ado, here is the delicious Keto Hamburger, Sausage, Broccoli Alfredo I found from https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/main-course-casseroles/hamburger-sausage-broccoli-alfredo-low-carb.html. I didn't have any parmesan left so I used more mozzarella in it's place for the below recipe.

Keto Hamburger, Sausage, Broccoli Alfredo

 

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

1 lb bulk sausage

1 tsp oregano, dried

1 small onion, chopped

Normally the styling fee is $20 that you can apply towards any of the items that you keep but through January, this is waived! So absolutely no strings attached in this promo!

I also love being able to try the items with the ones I already have in my closet! I have received so many items that I would have never picked for myself in stores that I now wear all the time. This has totally changed my style! I love how my stylist, Kristen, will find me pieces that are dressy enough for work but oh so comfy still!!! I try to get a box seasonally to spice up my wardrobe with high-quality and timeless pieces.

My stylist knows I love this halter style so she sent me this gem. Great purple color that you could wear any season! This one might have be exchanged for a smaller size though because it's a little big on the top!

Gluten Free Keto Cinnamon Rolls and Bagels!

Found this great recipe for Keto Cinnamon Rolls here: https://www.isavea2z.com/keto-cinnamon-rolls-recipe-low-carb-made-cream-cheese-frosting/. You must try these awesome little things!!

Ingredients:

2 cups Mozzarella Cheese

3/4 cup Almond Flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

3 tablespoons cream cheese

1 tablespoon Stevia or Swerve

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 egg

1/8 stick butter (melted)

Sprinkle of Stevia or Swerve (for the inside of the dough)


Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients:

2 tablespoons heavy cream

2 tablespoons cream cheese

1 tablespoon powdered swerve


Instructions:

Combine the Mozzarella Cheese and Cream Cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and cook it on high for about 1 minute. (you can melt these ingredients over the stove top on low if you prefer)

After the cheese has melted, add one egg, Almond Flour,  and Baking Powder.  Save the cinnamon and stevia to sprinkle on the dough after you roll it out.

Carefully stir the ingredients until all is well combined and smooth. This will cool down the dough a bit too.

The dough will be extremely sticky at this point.  Next, dump the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper and begin to knead the dough until all the ingredients are fully mixed in.  The dough will be really sticky until you knead it together.  You can sprinkle a little bit of almond or coconut flour on the dough to roll it out and prevent sticking too.

Use a rolling pin to smooth out the dough into a large rectangle shape.  I roll this dough out in between two sheets of parchment paper or a silicone mat with a piece of parchment paper on top of it.

Melt the 1/8 stick of butter and spread it sparingly over the rolled out dough.

Sprinkle cinnamon and Stevia sweetener onto the dough.

Roll up the dough as seen in the photos.

Use a piece of string to cut the dough into 15 different cinnamon rolls.

Place a piece of parchment paper in the bottom of your pan to line it before baking.

Place the rolls in a baking pan.

Set the over to 350 degrees and bake them for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.  NOTE:  You may have to cook them longer if you cut the rolls thicker.  Cook them until they are golden brown and done in the middle.

While the cinnamon rolls are baking in the oven, you can begin to mix up the frosting.

Combine the heavy cream, cream cheese, and powdered sweetener into a bowl and mix it with a mixer on high speed until the ingredients is nice and smooth.

Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool for about 5 or 10 minutes before applying the cream cheese frosting.

These amazing Keto Everything Bagels are from https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/low-carb-bagels-with-almond-flour-keto-gluten-free-5-ingredients/. These are so quick and easy!!!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup Almond flour
1 tbsp Gluten-free baking powder
2 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
2 oz Cream cheese (cubed)
2 large Eggs (beaten) 
Sesame seeds (for topping - optional)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Stir together the almond flour and baking powder. Set aside.

Combine the shredded mozzarella and cubed cream cheese in a large bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Stir again at the end until well incorporated. (If you don't want to use the microwave, heat the cheeses in a double broiler on the stove over low heat, stirring frequently, until completely melted and easy to stir.)

Stir the flour mixture and eggs into the melted cheese mixture. Working quickly while the cheese is still hot, knead with your hands until a dough forms. The dough will be very sticky, but keep kneading and squeezing through your fingers for a few minutes. If the dough becomes hard before fully mixed, is too difficult to mix, or is still sticky after a couple minutes, you can microwave/reheat for 15-20 seconds to soften it. In that case, wash your hands and knead again.

NOTE: It's very important for the dough to be completely uniform before proceeding to the next step. You shouldn't have pieces of cheese separate from areas of almond flour.

Divide the dough into 6 parts. Form/roll a long log with each part, then press the ends together to make a bagel shape on the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough. If using sesame seeds, sprinkle them over the bagels and gently press into the dough. (You can also use everything seasoning for everything bagels.)

Bake for 10-14 minutes, until the bagels are firm and golden.
