Thai Chicken Curry and Jasmine Basil Rice

This Thai Style Chicken Curry sounded delicious, and I had everything, especially since my garden peppers and basil are abundant.
Now my photos do not look appealing compared to theirs, but that is their job to market the recipe and to make you almost smell it from the page. I share my photos to show proof that I did make this. It is delicious! This is a different flavor to the chicken for us, and we enjoyed the change in our everyday go-to chicken recipes. My husband had the Jasmine rice with this dish, and I had cauliflower rice as I watch carbs.

We have plenty of leftovers as this made a lot, and it will last us for a couple more meals. I’ll share the recipe in the photos.

Spaghetti Squash with Vegetable Tomato sauce

I collect older cookbooks, as well as the spiral bound church cookbooks. I especially like the books with notes near the recipes. I like to keep a page in the beginning part of books of recipes to try, based on reviews online, as well as the recipes I have made with my notes next to them.  

I added a lot of leftovers from the fridge. Just chop up whatever you have, follow the recipe loosely, and have fun with it. I added parmesan cheese and slivered almonds to the top, once I plated this. This is a delicious and very filling dish. We will definitely have this again.

Stuffed Eggplant & Ham Steak Cucumber Sauce

I enjoy taking old recipe books and recreating the recipes to work for a Keto and Low Carb Low Sugar Lifestyle. We enjoyed the Ham steak cucumber sauce; it was easy to throw together and I also used it as a dipping sauce for veggies.

I had never had eggplant, and after cutting it open, I was prepared to not like it, because it reminded me of Tofu. The texture, the smell, the feel of it; I thought, “I’m probably not going to care for this” We didn’t eat this the day I made it, because while preparing it, we filled up on other foods. So, I wrapped these and put them in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, I heated them in the microwave for 60 seconds. We were blown away by the flavor. We are seriously impressed, and this recipe is now added to my ‘make again file’. It is hard to take an appealing photo of eggplant dishes, but here ya go. I’m enjoying the recipes I’m finding in this book. The recipes are easy to convert to Keto Low Carb Low Sugar recipes.

Korean Cinnamon Tea

Remember when I made the pickled onions from the book: Made Whole by Cristina Curp, and I mentioned Star Anise? I ordered it from Amazon, because the local stores were out of it. I made the Korean Cinnamon Tea this morning and I’m addicted! This is so good! The recipe called for adding Stevia drops to your taste, but I didn’t need those, so I would add those as (optional) on the recipe.

Delicious!

Pickled Red Onions

I am now on the lookout for star anise so that I can try her Korean Cinnamon tea. On the first day of making the pickled red onions, they were fine, but I felt they were missing something. Two days later, I remembered I had pushed them to the back of the refrigerator, pulled them out just now, and thought, “wow, this would be good mixed with cucumbers, maybe green beans, maybe on a chili burger, on a cold cut, etc.” For now, these are fun to snack on. The vinegar definitely stands out, but what a fun way to eat red onions and enjoy the benefits of the apple cider vinegar. I’m planning on making several recipes from this book.

Keto Protein shake

How to Make a Keto Coffee Protein Shake:

I make this once a week, and add to a large mason jar. Keep jar in the refrigerator and have a small cup of this every other day, or I add it to the end of a cup of hot coffee.

I also go lighter on the swerve; I change the flavor often. For instance, I will add a few scoops of the chocolate protein, as well as a vanilla protein. SAMS had a small bottle of peppermint protein powder on clearance, after the holidays; so, I add a scoop of that with the chocolate now and then to this drink. It does taste like a chocolate milk shake. You just want to play with the sugar amount; it’s easy to add more if needed. I make my own cold brew coffee, but the cheaper large bottles work fine with this also.

Ranch Dressing

I have made a few recipes from the book Craveable Keto by Kyndra Holley (Author) after checking it out from the library. I immediately ordered the book, and I’m now jotting notes on pages of favorite recipes I have created from it.

These are the recipes I have made a few times now: Dill Pickle Coleslaw (my husband requests this often), Parmesan Roasted Broccoli, Boosted Coffee and Vanilla Coffee Creamer, Jon’s Special, and the Ranch Dressing, which I am dipping everything in , besides pouring it on my salad.

this next photo, I’ll tip the bottle of dressing to show you how thick it is
