Anyone ever try White Claw as a mixer? Don't. Tried it tonight, thought it might make a nice flavorful bubbly kind of whiskey drink. It's terrible. Not worth the 2 carbs! What other 'misses' have you all tried?

I finally found the perfect way to make onion rings! Chaffle batter!!! I was thinking lst night about trying to find a good recipie for onion rings. I really miss them because we always have them with our phylly steak sandwiches or sloppy joes, but all the recipies I've tried (coating them with cheese, almond flour or flax seed) always come out nasty. But then I thought, what about chaffle batter?? I tried it today and they came out awesome! They taste just like restaurant style onion rings!! and, their low carb! Heres the recipie I used:
BATTER
2 large eggs
1/3 cup almond flour
1/2 Tb coconut flour
1/4 ts baking powder
dash salt (im sure you could also add garlic or onion powder too)
*water to the if needed (but batter should be fairly thick)
1 medium yellow onion, cut in rings
Mix all chaffle ingredients in bowl, then dip onion rings in batter. Fry in hot oil till golden.
I got about 8 to 10 onion rings out of the batter. For a whole serving that would equal about 400 cal, 22 g fat, 10 net carbs and 3 g protein

My supper tonight Spaghetti squash casserole. Here is the recipe Medium size spaghetti squash cut in half stem wise. Clean middle of seeds. Put pat of butter and salt and pepper. Cover with foil. Bake 40 min 350. While that’s cooking sauté 1 lb ground Turkey add veggies you like. I add mushrooms and baby spinach. I use jar of Rao’s sauce because it’s Keto / low sugar. Let simmer. When squash is done use fork to turn into spaghetti all the way to skin. Use the casserole dish to mix everything together and top with mozzarella. Bake for 10 min till cheese is melted. At 350

We're having a family dinner on Sunday - making je**ed seasoned ribs and salad. Can y'all toss me some other keto sides ideas that carnivores will enjoy too to go along with the protein?

Did I just get an odd bag or do Aldi pork rinds have more cracklings then they used to?
I prefer the chip sized fluffy ones.

All that's left of the fathead pizza I made tonight
Dough was made with:
1 and 1/2 cups mozzarella
2 Tbsp cream cheese
3/4 cup almond flour
1 egg
Melt (I did this in microwave) cheese and cream cheese together then stir to mix
Add rest of ingredients (I added garlic powder, onion powder and basil)
Knead thoroughly (I recommend oiling your hands for this process) until well blended and doughy
Move to parchment paper on top of baking sheet and form into pizza shape (dough was slightly sticky but I showed it who's boss after a little struggle and a lot of bad language)
Place in preheated 425 oven and bake 8 mins (may require more time depending on thickness)
Remove dough from oven and add toppings then put back in oven for another 6 mins or so
My edges got a little over done because I turned the broiler on for a minute or so at the end but didn't detract from the pizza awesomeness

I've baked with coconut flour and there is a definite texture issue. Is almond flour better? Also, can you bake with Stevia like you can with Sugar or Splenda? Thanks everyone! I'm trying to get rid of the white stuff in the pantry for everyone's health (and my sanity!)

According to a Sam’s employee, 9 steaks is a “TON” of meat 😂 With fasting 2 days/week, these will probably last 2 weeks for 2 adults or longer depending on what else goes with them. I was already stocked up with 60 eggs in my fridge! 🤩

I use these all the time. I make mine in a waffle maker. They are low in calories, super easy to make. Leave in waffle maker about 5 minutes, if it isn't coming out easy, its not ready! Make sure there are no lumps in your almond flour!
