SAUSAGE PIZZA WITH ZERO NET CARB PIZZA CRUST

LUNCH AT HOME

Having a delicious Pizza is no problem on the Keto low carb diet since I found Thin Slim foods Zero Net Carb Pizza Crusts.  This crust delivers the thin and crispy texture and taste that I like.  No complaints here as now I can enjoy Pizza any time without consuming lots of carbs.  I am usually done with two slices so this has been perfect for the diet.  I use Rao's Homemade Marina Sauce which is also low carb and low in sugar.  Topped with Mozzarella and Parmesan Cheese, Oregano, Spicy Italian Sausage, Onion, Bell Pepper and Jalapeño.  In the oven for about 12 minutes at 400 degrees and you have a delicious low carb pizza that is as good as most Pizza places in Hawaii.  Love it!

LOW CARB SAUSAGE PIZZA IS SO GOOD

THIS IS REAL DEAL PIZZA WITHOUT THE CARBS

TWO SLICES USUALLY SATISFY MY PIZZA CRAVINGS

THIN SLIM FOODS ZERO NET CARB PIZZA CRUST.  WINNERS!

A very rare day out to have lunch with my Daughter.  She wanted to visit Kakaako and try Arvo for some Avocado Toast.  I looked at the menu at Arvo and everything was served on thick bread.  No go for my low carb diet so I walked across the way to Redfish Poke Bar.  This is kind of a Chipotle style place to enjoy Poke.  You start by choosing your Poke, Rice and then get a few options for toppings with many more available for purchase.  I opted for greens in place of rice and ordered one scoop of California Roll Poke along with a scoop of fresh Ceviche with Hamachi.  This was $14.  You get one choice of a side so I picked Cucumbers.  Added Onions for $1 extra.  The service was excellent and fast.  In and out in just minutes.  Enjoyed the Poke!

HEARTS OF PALM LINGUINE WITH MEAT SAUCE

DINNER AT HOME

Tried the Hearts of Palm Linguine with my homemade Meat Sauce.  The Hearts of Palms added additional moisture to the sauce which you can see in the photo.  The Linguine had a light crunch and tasted like a veggie rather than pasta.  Looked like pasta though.  Overall this was eatable and not bad.

LOW CARB CARNE ASADA TACOS

Enjoying Carne Asada Tacos is easy on the Keto diet with Mr. Tortillas 1 net carb tortillas.  These are small tortillas but they are perfect for Street Tacos and while they do not taste exactly like normal tortillas they do serve the purpose.

LOW CARB TORTILLA CHIPS WITH GUACAMOLE

APPETIZER AT HOME

So glad we found these low carb Tortilla Chips.  I have been missing my Chips and Guacamole and Chips with Salsa while on a Keto diet.  While these chips do not have the big corn taste that I like, they did serve the purpose and satisfy my urge for Tortilla Chips.

STUFFED ZUCCHINI BOATS

DINNER AT HOME

These stuffed Zucchini Boats were absolutely delicious.  I hallowed out the Zucchini and coated them with a mixture of Olive Oil, Garlic and Oregano.  Let them sit.  Made mixture of Ground Beef, Ground Pork, Onions, Carrots, Bell Pepper, Garlic, Jalapeño and Bok Choy because we had some.  Added Tomato Basil Sauce and simmered for one hour.  Poured the mixture into the Zucchini's that I grilled on both sides until they were browned and soft.  Topped with Pepperoni slices, Mozzarella and Parmesan Cheese and let that melt inside the closed BBQ.  Added a bit of fresh Basil and Italian Parsley.  Yummy!

STEAK AND EGGS

BREAKFAST AT HOME

I was told that we are not consuming enough fat on the Keto diet.  This is probably true because we are not used to eating a lot of fat.  Sometimes the thought of eating more eggs, bacon, cheese and beef does not sit well with me.  Trying to kick in ketosis with this 

breakfast of Eggs, Steak and Avocado.

KETO TACO TUESDAY

DINNER AT HOME

Christmas came early for me.  Tacos on the Keto diet!  I am so happy.  Found 1 net carb Tortillas and they were great for being Keto.  Very small but they delivered the Taco taste that I have been missing.  Totally satisfied my craving for Beef Tacos.  What a nice Christmas present.

KETO BLT WITH EGG AND AVOCADO ON CAULIFLOWER BREAD

LUNCH AT HOME

I have been trying to find a bread substitute while on Keto diet.  Found these Cauliflower Sandwich Thins and tried them with a Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, Avocado and Egg Sandwich.  Wow...guess what?  They taste like Cauliflower.  Heavy duty Cauliflower.  Overpowered the rest of the ingredients.  Not my fave.

Since I am not a big breakfast eater it has been difficult consuming fat and protein while on the Keto diet.  I did manage to get down this breakfast of Avocado and Egg that I dusted in Everything Bagel Seasoning.
