Zucchini Alfredo

Ingredients:

• 8 zucchinis
• 3 medium chicken breasts
• 1 cup fresh shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1/3 cup  grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 sticks
• 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil

Instructions:

Zoodles

Make zucchini into “noodles” using a vegetable spiralizer (Optional: spread out to dry out on a paper towel before proceeding.) Sauté zoodles on medium heat in a frying pan with 3 tablespoons melted butter, stirring occasionally. The zoodles are done when they turn a translucent green, about 5 minutes. Taste a zoodle strand to make sure they are the desired texture. If too al dente for your liking, sauté a few more minutes. Remove from heat and lightly salt and pepper.

Parmasan Chicken

Chop raw chicken breasts into bite-size pieces and begin to sauté on medium heat in a splash of olive oil. Cook the chicken until it is no longer pink in the center. Toss the chicken in 1/3 cup of grated Parmesan than finish browning. Chicken should reach an internal temp of 165°F. Remove from heat.

Alfredo Sauce

On medium heat, melt 2 sticks of butter in a small saucepan. Once butter is melted, add one cup heavy whipping cream, stirring constantly. Bring to simmer, but not to a boil. Add 1 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese and 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning and stir until the cheese is melted.

Keto Cauliflower Soup (Instant Pot)

Adapted from Carla Lybarger’s “Keto Instant Pot Soup (Low Carb)” on Allrecipes.

Ingredients:

• 2 heads of cauliflower
• 1 onion
• 1 bell pepper
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 TBSP olive oil
• 1 TBSP onion powder
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup half and half
• 6 slices precooked bacon
• 1 TBSP spicy brown mustard
• 8 drops hot pepper sauce
• 1/8th teaspoon liquid smoke
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: sour cream, green onions

Instructions:

If you are new to Instant Pot cooking, be sure to consult your manual before attempting. Using the saute function on your Instant Pot, fry chopped onions and minced garlic in olive oil until lightly browned. Add chopped cauliflower, bell pepper, chicken broth, and onion powder. Put the lid on the Instant Pot, make sure that the vent is NOT open. Select Soup Function, and set the pot for 15 minutes. The soup will actually take a little longer than 15 minutes, as it takes a little time for the pressure to build. Using the Quick Release method, let all of the steam out of the pot before opening. When it is safe, remove lid and add remaining ingredients: cheddar cheese, half and half, chopped bacon, spicy brown mustard, hot pepper sauce, liquid smoke, salt, and pepper. After selecting the Keep Warm setting, stir until cheese is fully melted. If you would like this soup to taste a little more like baked potato soup, garnish with green onions and sour cream.
