Parmisean crusted chicken strips

These were a hit with the whole family.  It is a rare day indeed when neither girl complains about dinner.... And even more rare when my oldest asks for seconds on meat.  😯

Strips of chicken breast
Egg
Parmisean
Oil to panfry

Take the strips of meat and dust them with parmisean.  Dunk them in a beaten egg.  Then generously coat them in parmisean. Press the parm onto the chicken. Then pan fry until golden.

These were super simple and tasty.  The parm crusted up and added a delicious flavor...if you like parm that is 😉

Low carb tostadas

For dinner the other night I was craving tostadas... So I made some low carb ones. I baked some low carb tortillas (6 carbs each) until crispy.  They don't toast up exactly like regular ones, but they do get crunchy. Topped them with refried white kidney beans (recipe here), ground turkey, onions, cilantro, sour cream, and hot sauce.  Yum!

Low carb crackers

These are so good.  Perfect for cheese and crackers or dipping into a dip.  Today I had them with hummas. You can't have a ton of them since they are high in calories, but they fulfill cracker cravings perfectly.  I have made them several times and will continue to experiment with different flavors. My current favorite is adding Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel Seasoning in the mix...then a little more on top.

One trick I have learned is if the outside edges are getting too brown I break those crackers off and put the middle back in the oven.  Sometimes I turn off the oven and just leave them in the warm oven to dry out more.

Almond flour (almond meal works too and is cheaper), egg whites, butter, and seasoning.  Click here for a link to the recipe I used.

Oasis low carb flax seed bread

My current favorite low carb bread.  It has 6 net carbs per slice.  This bread reminds me of sour dough.  Sandwiches, grilled cheese, and toast are such a treat in a low carb life style. I find it at sprouts and usually stock up and freeze.

Low carb papusas

Tonight I made these low carb papusas. They were so delicious .  I filled mine with Jack cheese, sauteed spinach, and ground turkey .  They are filling and satisfying .  The almond flour mimics maza surprisingly well.
