Baked Jicama Fries with Easy Keto Gravy

These Gluten Free Baked Jicama Fries with Easy Keto Gravy are a Delicious Low Carb Alternative to Traditional Fries. They’re high in Fibre and are half the calories. They’re also a Good Source of Vitamin C. You can’t have Fries without the Gravy so I made this Flavourful Creamy Beef and Mushroom Keto Gravy. It’s so Quick and Easy to Make and requires only a Few Simple Ingredients.

To make the Jicama Fries, you peal, then slice the Jicama into fries. Then in a large pot boil the Jicama fries for approximately 25 – 30 minutes, then strain off the water. Preheat oven, then melt the butter to toss the fries in. Toss until well coated, then sprinkle the garlic powder, the onion powder and the salt. Toss until the fries are evenly coated. Place the jicama fries 1/2 inch apart on a ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 30 – 40 minutes, turning half way.

To make the Easy Keto Gravy, start by frying the sliced mushrooms and onion in the butter for 20 minutes or until caramelized. Add the minced garlic, balsamic vinegar and the beef stock. Then cook over medium heat for another 20 minutes. Using a blender or food processor, puree the beef stock and mushroom mixture until smooth. Return to the pan then bring back to a boil. Add the heavy cream and salt and pepper. If using salted beef broth you may not need to add any more salt.

Baked Jicama Fries with Easy Keto Gravy

These Low Carb Baked Jicama Fries with Easy Keto Gravy make a perfect side for you’re Low carb Burger or can be made a meal by adding a bit of mozzarella cheese to make a delicious Keto Poutine. I had never tried Jicama before but was presently surprised. It’s insides are creamy white with a crisp texture that resembles raw potato or pear. The flavour is sweet and starchy. In Mexico, it’s often eaten raw and is popular in salads, fresh fruit combinations, fruit bars, soups, and other cooked dishes.

If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis. While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

If you love Low Carb Appetizers, then you’ll want to try out these Keto Buffalo Chicken Taquitos. They’re sure to Impress any Crowd.

They’re so simple and easy to make and are totally guilt free. They taste more like bread than a traditional egg muffin, which is nice considering that there isn’t any flours or starches added.

Healthy Gluten and Allergen Free Lunch Ideas

Healthy Gluten and Allergen Free Lunch Ideas

Don’t Let dietary restrictions keep you from packing a Delicious Nutritious Lunch. We recently found out that my oldest Son is also Gluten Intolerant and My husband is Lactose Intolerant. This has forced us to get more creative with our lunches. I’ve decided to share some of my Healthy Gluten and Allergy Free Lunch Ideas with you in hopes that you’ll be Healthy Lunch Inspired. I’d love to hear some of your Healthy Gluten and Allergy Free Lunch Ideas. Please feel free to Comment Below.

Use an Empty Apple Sauce Cup on Top of a Mason Jar to Hold Dip or Dressing.

Mason Jar Salads have been on trend for a while now but did you know that single Serve Apple Sauce Cups fit in the top of the jar, under the lid? I’ve had these beautiful mason jars sitting around just dying to be used again. It’s absolutely perfect for Hummus and Veggies or Salad in a Jar with the Dressing stored safely separated on the top. You could even used it for chips and salsa or fruit and a sweet fruit dip. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it.

Popcorn

My family absolutely loves popcorn so naturally packing some in their lunches makes perfect sense. These pre portioned bags from SkinnyPop Popcorn are our favorite. It tastes amazing and it’s way easier than popping it yourself. They’re only 100 calories per bag and are the perfect thing to keep in your car or bag in case of food emergencies.

Hard Boiled Eggs

I realize that some people are allergic to eggs but a lot of people do eat them, so they’ve made my list. I like to keep a carton of hard boiled eggs in the fridge. They’re perfect for packed lunches or a quick grab and go snack. They’re loaded with protein. Just sprinkle with a little Himalayan salt or use them to make Curried Deviled Eggs. I also like to use them for egg salad which we eat in a lettuce wrap or in a bowl with a little bit of lettuce.

Small Cans Of Tuna

Again there may be some people that can’t eat fish but lot’s of people do eat it. These small cans of Tuna are loaded with Protein. They taste great and are perfect for bagged lunches or a quick afternoon snacks.

Protein Shakes

We love protein shakes in our house. We buy booth Vegan and Regular Whey Powder because my husband is Lactose Intolerant. We bought a special protein powder shaker cup that comes with a little ball that helps dissolve the powder for when you’re on the go. One of my favorite protein shakes is this Vanilla Chai Protein Shake that I posted a while back. If you can’t drink regular milk just use Almond or Soy milk or water.

Hummus

Who doesn’t love a good Hummus? It makes a tasty treat with Veggie Sticks or Gluten Free Crackers. It’s really easy to make and is Gluten and Dairy Free. I’ve attached my Hummus Recipe Below.

Ingredients

1 Can Chick Peas

2 Cloves Garlic

1/4 Cup Tahini

!/4 Cup Lemon Juice

1/4 Cup Olive Oil

2 Tsp Cumin

1 Tsp Salt

Pinch of Paprika (for garnish)

Directions

Put all the ingredients into a food processor, blend until smooth. Place into a bowl, then drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of paprika.

Chicken Zoodle Soup

September 17, 2015 by officially gluten free 14 Comments

Chicken Zoodle Soup

This Simple Low Carb, Chicken Zoodle Soup is made with thinly sliced Zucchini instead of traditional Noodles. You won’t want to make Chicken Soup the same way again. I usually add whatever Vegetables I have in my Fridge or Garden but Celery, Peppers, Peas, Corn, Mushrooms or Squash would also go well in this soup.

Whenever we have a Roasted Chicken, I save the bones to make soup stock with. If I don’t need the stock that week I’ll freeze it in small amounts so I can use it for Stir fry, Soups or just adding a little Flavour to a recipe. Making my own Stock means that I need to add a bit of Salt to get the flavour right but if you’re using a store bought Chicken Stock you may not need to add any at all.

If you have a Veggie Spiralizer to make the Zucchini noodles with, by all means use it. I don’t have one so I like to slice mine really thin with a knife.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp Butter or Cooking Oil

1 Onion

2 Potatoes

3 Carrots

4 Cloves of Garlic

1 Medium Zucchini

1 Cup Cooked Chicken

5-6 Cups Chicken Stock

1 Tbsp Salt (if using store bought chicken stock you may not need to add any salt)

1 Tsp pepper

Directions

1.In a large pot over medium heat, add the oil or butter. Then dice, then add the onion, carrot, potato and garlic.

2. Slice the Zucchini into very thin slices. Add it to the pot along with the cooked chicken.

3. Add the chicken stock, then salt and pepper.

4. Let simmer over low heat for 1 hour.

Vegetable Borscht

August 27, 2015 by officially gluten free 2 Comments

Vegetable Borscht

This Tasty Vegetable Borscht is a simple but delicious Beet based Broth Soup. With so many Beets ready in my garden I couldn’t resist making one of my all time favorites. It’s a wonderful Gluten Free and Vegetarian soup that’s so flavorful, you won’t even miss the meat. I make my Vegetable Borscht with extra veggies and little vinegar. Some people add tomato paste but I prefer the texture to be more broth like. If you like your soup to be a little thicker you can a can of tomato paste at the end. I boil the beets whole with the skin on because it makes them a lot easier to peel. You can skip that step if you prefer to peel them raw.

This Vegetable Borscht is often garnished with a spoonful of sour cream and a sprinkle on fresh dill on top.

Ingredients

8- 10 Beets

1 Onion

4 Red Potatoes

4 Carrots

1 Cup Chopped Green Beans

6 Cups Water

1/2 Cup Vinegar

1/4 Cup Chopped Fresh Dill

2 Tsp Salt

Directions

1. Boil the Beets whole with the skin on them for 5 minutes. Remove from the water then peel and dice them.

2. Add the diced beets to a large pot then cover with the 6 cups of water.

3. Peel and dice the potatoes and carrots, then add them to the pot.

4. Dice the onion and green beans and add them to the pot.

Grilled Chili Lime Pineapple Shrimp

These Gluten Free Grilled Chili Lime Pineapple Shrimp are a Wonderful Mix of Sweet and Spicy. The Chili and Lime Compliment the Sweet and Juicy Pineapple and Succulent Shrimp Perfectly. They would make an Awesome Gluten Free Appetizer or Side Dish for your next Summer Party or BBQ. If you don’t have access to a Grill, just use the Oven instead. Bake at 450 F for approximately 8 – 10 minutes, turning half way though.

Ingredients

12 Large Shrimp Peeled and Deveined

12 Pineapple Chunks

1/2 Cup Sweet Chili Sauce

1 Tsp Crushed Chili’s

1 Lime

Directions

1. In a medium sized bowl mix the sweet chili sauce with the crushed chili’s. Then squeeze the juice from the lime into the bowl.

2. Place the shrimp into the marinade and let sit for 10 minutes.

3. If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for a few minutes before using them. Skewer the shrimp and the pineapple together, then drizzle a little of the remaining marinade over them.

4. Grill for approximately 3 minutes per side or until the shrimp are fully cooked.

5. Serve with a slice of lime.
