Pumpkin Puree recipe made from Scratch

Sep 8, 2019 · 22 Comments

Image of Pumpkin Puree in a mesh strainer

Pumpkin Puree can be a solid option on a keto diet if used wisely. Nutritionally, one cup of pumpkin weighs in at 12 grams carbs. It’s important to note that 3 of these grams are fiber. Therefore, the effective carb count is 9 grams per cup.

While this may seem like a large amount; consider how much puree actually goes into a recipe. Then divide it accordingly.

Nutritional Value of Pumpkin Puree

When used sensibly, you can enjoy the flavors of the fall season as well as pumpkins excellent nutritional value.

Pumpkin is rich in Beta-Carotene (an important anti-oxidant), vitamins A and K. In addition, it has a healthy dose of copper, vitamin C, magnesium, iron, and potassium.

With all that pumpkin has going for it, it’s easy to see why a keto’er can make pumpkin a part of their healthy diet.

Choosing the Right Pumpkin

Choosing the best pumpkin for roasting can make the puree process much easier.

I have found that sugar baby pumpkins have the best flavor and their flesh is drier than larger pumpkins. I prefer the drier flesh as it makes for a drier puree but any pumpkin will work.

A Simple but Effective Trick for Roasting your Pumpkin

A simple but effective trick is to roast the pumpkins cut side down. This allows the excess juice to drain from the pumpkin. As a result, the flesh is drier and the puree is not as watery.

Having the Right Tools Makes All the Difference

Having the right keto cooking tools makes life much easier when preparing recipes.

For the pumpkin puree, having a food mill makes the job quicker and therefore, less painful. I like stainless steel, as it doesn’t leach any thing into the food I’m preparing and it cleans up nicely.

Here is the one I use (affiliate link) OXO Good Grips Food Mill. I’ve had it for over 6 years now and it is practically indestructible.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Cut pumpkin in half and clean out all the fibrous innards and pumpkin seeds. (set seeds aside for roasting)
  3. Rinse inside of pumpkin and set halves cut side down on baking sheet lined with parchment paper (for easier clean up).
  4. Roast pumpkins in oven for 25-35 minutes until pumpkin shell is easily pierced with a fork and pumpkin is soft.
  5. Allow pumpkin to cool until it is easy to handle. Be sure to keep the pumpkin cut side down while cooling. This lets the juice from the pumpkin drain and keeps the puree from getting to watery.
  6. After the pumpkin has cooled, gently scrape the flesh away from the pumpkin shell into a bowl.
  7. Put the pumpkin flesh through a food mill, food processor or mash by hand to the desired consistency.
  8. If your pumpkin is too watery (sometimes this happens with larger pumpkins), place a piece of cheese cloth in a strainer and place the strainer into the sink or over a dish to catch the water.
  9. Pour the pumpkin into the strainer and let it drain for an hour or two to remove excess water.
  10. Once drained, the pumpkin can go into the refrigerator for up to a week. In addition, pumpkin puree freezes well. Divide into desired portions and freeze up to 3 months.

Thick and Tangy Simple Keto BBQ Sauce

There are three things I believe a good bbq sauce needs.

First of all, it must have great flavor. Something that tingles the taste buds. I liken it to a really good wine where the flavor lingers awhile on my tongue after it’s gone.  And so, this is key to the best bbq sauce.

Secondly, the sauce HAS to be thick. I’m not a fan of thin watery bbq sauces. I know there are those who find this okay, but I’m not one of those people. I want my sauce to stay put on what I’m grilling. What good is a sauce that runs or puddles everywhere but where you want it?

Lastly, I want my sauce without a bunch of additives, preservatives and sugar. Just simple goodness in my keto bbq sauce please.

Image shows how thick keto bbq sauce is by spooning it up from a dish.

No ketchup needed for this tasty BBQ Sauce

Image of bbq sauce being spooned up from a glass dish. Text reads simple keto bbq sauce, 5 minute recipe and no ketchup needed.,Have you taken a look at the ingredients in ketchup? The non keto brands are filled with corn syrup, cane sugar or fructose. Yuck! Even the so called better brands may have honey or try to make the carbs better by calling the carbs organic.

On top of this, the keto store brands that do work are just down right expensive. So you might as well by the keto bbq sauce outright if you have to buy ketchup. Because of this, I don’t use ketchup in my sauce and to my amazement, I find I like it better that way. The flavor of the bbq sauce is more concentrated.

  1. Melt butter and olive oil In a medium sized saucepan over med heat.

  3. Add spices and stir for another minute to help develop the spices for exceptional flavor.

Recipe Notes

A few things of note.

  1. I know, pumpkin pie spice is a bit unusual, but trust me. This spice has the cloves, allspice, etc. you would get in ketchup and gives your sauce an extra layer of flavor.
  2. Use more red pepper flakes if you like your bbq sauce on the spicy side.
  3. Trader Joes South African Smoke Seasoning blend is optional, but as I said before... this stuff is amazing!
  4. As always with keto cooking, feel free to use your sweetener of choice, though the golden is my favorite for this recipe.

Keto Blueberry Balsamic Chicken

May 14, 2019 · 3 Comments

Image of keto blueberry balsamic chicken

I must confess, when it comes to this Keto blueberry balsamic chicken dish all convention goes out the window. I can’t help it. It’s that good. The combination of sweet blueberries, maple syrup and balsamic is so full of flavor, it’s frightening.

So consequently, I lick my plate.

There, I said it. Yes, I’m ashamed of my lack of self control, but when it comes to this dish I can’t help it.  Don’t blame me, if you find yourself in the same predicament. I’ve done my best to warn you.

Add a little pizzazz to your diet with Keto Blueberry Balsamic Chicken

One of the things  I’ve wondered about since starting keto is why the meals we eat can’t have a little more pizazz.

I get tired of eating the same old things. Cheese, almond flour, and proteins all have their place in the keto order of things, but it does get boring.

Image of blueberries in a white bowlThis is why I enjoy a little something out of the ordinary once in awhile like keto blueberry balsamic chicken. The carb content may be a little higher with the blueberries and balsamic, but it’s worth it. To offset the little bit of higher carb content for this dish, I watch the other carbs i’m eating for the day. It’s as simple as that.

Goat Cheese and Asparagus Quiche is a healthy Powerhouse

As you know, eating healthy low carb veggies is important on a Keto diet. Fortunately the Goat Cheese and Asparagus Quiche is packed with them.

You’ll also find  manganese, folate and copper in them too. A healthy powerhouse indeed.

The combination of fresh vegetables with the salty bite and tang of goat cheese is amazing.  This gourmet dish is definitely a step above the average quiche.

How to Make Homemade Infused Chili Oil

Feb 10, 2019 · 2 Comments

Square yellow dish with dried hot chilis and olive oil inside.

Make your own homemade infused chili oil for a simple way to create great flavor in the recipes you prepare. For example, use infused rosemary oil to add flavor to keto pizza sauce. You can also add infused hot chili oil to roasted vegetables for a little extra zip. Infused Garlic oil is perfect for flavoring  meat, poultry, or a homemade salad dressing. The list of ways to use these wonderful bursts of flavor is endless.

3 small square dishes that contain olive oil, dried chili peppers, garlic, and rosemary. Ingredients for homemade infused chili oil.

Make you own infused oil and save money

Unfortunately, it’s hard to find infused oils in the store and when you do they are usually pricey.  The great news is they are simple to make. I’ve put together a couple recipes that I use that come together quickly. I love how they create an additional layer of flavor in my recipes with only a minimal amount of effort.

3 bottles that contain olive oil, garlic, dried chili peppers and dried rosemary.

  1. Wipe down your dried chili peppers to remove any dust or debris and air dry,
  2. Once dry, place the chili peppers into a clean sterilized jar.
  3. Add olive oil.
  4. Place the uncapped bottle in a slow cooker. Add water to the slow cooker until it covers about half the bottle.
  5. Leave the lid off the slow cooker. Set to low heat and allow the oil to cook for 48 hours. (Watch the water level and add warm water as necessary)
  6. Remove the oil, place the cap on and refrigerate until ready to use.
Recipe Notes

The oil may cloud up a bit in the refrigerator, but the oil is still okay. Once the bottle is removed from the cold and allowed to warm up a bit, the cloudiness will go away.

For best results use the oil within 1 - 2 months.

During the winter months I love curling up with a good book in front of the fireplace. There’s something extra special about being warm and cozy inside while the snow flies outside. I could sit and watch the snow fall all day. Unfortunately, I rarely have that luxury. Life is hectic and busy.

That’s why I enjoy Keto Southwestern Chili. It helps when everything is hectic. I can throw it together in minutes in my instant pot and it’s ready to eat speedy quick. It allows me more time to savor the time I do have and warms me from the inside out on those cold winter nights.

Recipe Notes

Any sugar free salsa will work with this recipe. I prefer a medium spicy salsa to give my chili a little extra zip. Try different types of salsa to change up the flavor profile.

The nutrition label does not include the extra condiments such as cheese, sour cream or avocado. I add the avocado to increase my fat content. Be sure to include the extra condiment calculations in your macros if you are keeping track.

Keto Homemade Breakfast Sausage

Dec 4, 2018 · 7 Comments

KImage of ground pork in a food processor next to ground pork on a piece of brown butcher paper

I prefer to make my own Keto Homemade Breakfast Sausage to buying expensive sugar free breakfast sausage at the market. Living the keto lifestyle is not exactly cheap, so saving a little money whenever I can is a bonus. Furthermore, when I make my own sausage I control what goes into it and I can adjust the seasonings to suit my taste.

Many Uses for Keto Homemade Breakfast Sausage

Image of ground pork in a food processor next to ground pork on a piece of brown butcher paper. Test reads Make your own Keto breakfast sausage, keto, low carb, paleo

There are so many great ways to use the Keto Homemade breakfast sausage.  For example, you can whip up a great sausage pasta sauce and serve it over spiralized zucchini. Another option is to use it as a topping on a keto pizza.

If you like sausage for breakfast, then you may like this sausage biscuits and gravy recipe from Ruled Me. But, my all-time favorite use for this delicious sausage is the Keto Mac Griddle breakfast sandwich.

I’d love to hear how you use your breakfast sausage and see some of your favorite recipes. Feel free to leave a message in the comments below with a link to your favorite recipe.

Homemade Breakfast Sausage is Perfect For Keto Meal Prep

The homemade breakfast sausage is great for keto meal prep. Make up a double batch and pre-cook your sausage. I form patties, links and some bulk sausage that I cook ahead of time. The pre-cooked sausage freezes well or refrigerate it for up to a week. The added fat keeps it moist and tender and it tastes great warmed up in the microwave.

Recipe Notes

Servings are listed for 8 (2 0z) patties or 16 1 0z sausage links. To pre-cook the sausages, cook over medium heat until sausage is browned on all sides. Freeze pre-cooked sausage, or store in the refrigerator for up to a week. Freshly ground pork sausage can be frozen without cooking with good results if the ground pork was not previously frozen.

Keto Buttery Maple Syrup

Nov 18, 2018 · 29 Comments

Image of a plate of pancakes with keto buttery maple syrup being poured onto them.

I have to admit I’m quite shameless when it comes to my keto buttery maple syrup. I put it on everything. For example, in the morning I put it in my bullet coffee, on my Instant Noatmeal and on my Mac Griddle breakfast sandwich. The buttery maple flavor goes so well with everything and it’s keto!

I love to experiment when I’m cooking, hence I blog.

The hubs says I rarely cook anything the same way twice. And he is right, I don’t. This is why I love blogging. I put my recipes out in the blogosphere where I have a permanent record of what I created. So, I can refer back to it now and again, and maybe possibly make the same thing twice. If, I keep my tweaking to a minimum.

Keto Buttery Maple Syrup: Not Just for Breakfast

If you love to experiment like I do, consider using the Keto Buttery Maple Syrup outside your comfort zone. Try it on your pork chops as a maple glaze (recipe coming) or use it on the Keto pizza dough as a base for a delicious keto dessert pizza. The possibilities are endless.

The Keto Mac Griddle breakfast sandwich is my healthy keto version of Mickey D’s Sausage McGriddles. In my view, it is spot on for the savory, maple pancake and sausage treat. If you are a McGriddles fan, you know exactly what I mean.

Keto Mac Griddle – A Stroke of Genius

So how did I come upon this stroke of genius I call the Keto Mac Griddle?

It all started with my Keto Breakfast Biscuits.

Image of Keto Mac Griddle breakfast sandwich on a white plate with a jar of maple syrup ad biscuits in the backgroundWhile developing the recipe I noticed how similar the taste and texture was to the McGriddle after putting Keto Buttery Maple Syrup on them. I knew I was on to something. So, I did a little more experimenting with the maple syrup and voila; perfection.

Putting the Keto Mac Griddle Together

Image of Keto Mac Griddle breakfast sandwich on a white plate with a jar of maple syrup ad biscuits in the background

It wasn’t a big stretch to add my homemade breakfast sausage to the breakfast biscuits and as a result, a star was born.

Of course, some people will go ahead and ruin a perfectly good Keto Mac Griddle Sandwich by adding an egg.

But to each his own, I always say. If you want to add an egg or even a piece of cheese, who am I to judge.

Meal Prep

image of keto mac griddle breakfast sandwich. Text reads keto mac griddle copy cat recipeThis is a perfect recipe for meal prep. Each component can be made ahead and put together on the run.

The Keto buttery maple syrup can be made well in advance. I fact, I make up a batch quite regularly. It’s great in my morning coffee or on my keto instant noatmeal.

Similarly, make the Keto Breakfast sausage and pre-cook the patties. Then, freeze for later use. When your ready to make your breakfast sandwiches, simply take the sausage out of the freezer and place in the refrigerator the night before. The Keto breakfast biscuits can also be made ahead of time and frozen. Hopefully, your will power is better than mine, the biscuits are so good they rarely make it to my freezer.

Keto Diet Beginner's Guide - Keto FoodificationHaving the right keto pantry items ahead of time makes life so much easier when preparing recipes. Who looks forward to dropping everything you are doing right in the middle of preparing a recipe to run to the store. Furthermore, last minute shopping can break the budget. I have been guilty of paying much more for a product when I don’t plan ahead.

So today I have a couple of recommendations.

  • First, be prepared by shopping for your essential pantry items ahead of time.
  • Second, shop online for some of the best Keto friendly prices.

Keto Breakfast Biscuits

Oct 29, 2018 · 9 Comments

When I first started keto I thought eating breakfast biscuits was a thing of the past. I accepted the reality of a sausage Mcgriddles-less life, but it didn’t come easy.  I loved the taste of those savory breakfast sandwiches even if they weren’t very healthy. So, I set out to make a keto version of my own.

The keto breakfast biscuits are the key to my Keto Mac Griddle Breakfast Sandwich and I know you’re gonna love em.

Keto Breakfast Biscuits: Not just for Breakfast

image of three biscuits. Text reads Keto Breakfast Biscuits Yum! Keto foodificationThe best thing about the keto breakfast biscuits (besides how they taste), is their unique ability to go well with just about anything you pair them with. For instance, serve them topped with butter, alongside a steaming bowl of Keto Southwestern Chili. I guarantee you the applause will be deafening.

Likewise, use the biscuit dough as a topper for a stand out Keto Chicken Pot Pie with amazing results.

Get crazy and be creative. I want to hear how you adapted the keto breakfast biscuit mix to make your own killer recipes. Share your ideas below or on the keto forum.  I have no doubt everyone will enjoy what you come up with.
