About Amanda

My name is Amanda and I am from Syracuse Utah. I now live in Kansas where the military has brought my family. I am married with two kids. I love to spend most of my time in the kitchen or anything outdoors. My favorite food is steak and I love to bake! I like to innovate my favorite foods to make them keto friendly.

Ingredients

CHICKEN

  • 2-3 lbs chicken pieces boneless
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 2 Tbsp butter

CREAM OF CHICKEN SAUCE

Instructions

  • Coat chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and paprika. Melt butter in large skillet. Cook chicken in melted butter. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs work well.
  • Make cream of chicken replacement using 1 c heavy cream, 12 oz water, and 2 servings Savory Chicken Soup Keto Chow. This will not fit in a shaker bottle, but you can mix it in 2 batches. Immersion blender works best. Add to chicken and simmer 30 minutes covered.

You can also drop biscuit dough by spoonfuls onto the top of the hot chicken and soup and cook as directed.

  • Spread mixture into a 9x13 greased baking dish.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 and let the batter sit for 10 minutes (it makes it raise better). Place cake in oven and bake for 20 minutes.

Equipment

  • Stand Mixer

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Mix 1/2 cup water and gelatin in the stand mixer bowl and allow to "bloom" or soften, just make sure there are no dry spots.
  • Use a paper towel to smear a small amount of butter on the sides of a 9x13 glass baking dish.
  • Whisk 3/4 cup water, allulose, and Keto Chow together until smooth, then heat until it’s bubbling, stirring continuously. Be careful: the allulose will caramelize if you heat it too much.
    Img 4337
  • Add heated mixture to gelatin and start mixing using whisk attachment on low for 5 minutes. Be careful! It's very hot at this stage.
    Img 4341
  • After 5 minutes, increase speed to high and mix until fluffy and doubled in size, about 10 minutes. You're adding air to the mix and giving it the marshmallow texture.
  • Use a spatula to transfer the mix into the buttered baking dish. Put dish in refrigerator to let cool before cutting.
    Img 4343
  • Cut up with cookie cutters or knife.
    Eggnog Marshmallows
  • Cut up with cookie cutters or knife.

Notes

The full recipe has 0.43g of net carbs with 199g total carbs, 192g of that is the sweetener. Allulose works the best, though you can use powdered erythritol. Granulated swerve or erythritol will stay granular and so will not work very well in this recipe.

Equipment

  • 8" x 8" pan

Ingredients

Blondies

Drizzle

  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 Tbsp sugar free white chocolate chips

Instructions

Blondies

  • Cream together butter, eggs, vanilla and erythritol.
  • Add your chosen flavor of Keto Chow and mix well.
  • Add to an 8x8 pan lined with parchment and grease.
  • Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

Drizzle

  • While blondies are baking, melt butter over medium high heat.
  • Once boiling stir frequently until it turns amber (brown butter)
  • Remove from the heat and add white chocolate chips.
  • Stir until the chips melt completely.
  • Cool white chocolate sauce in the fridge for 5 to 10 minutes and then drizzle over blondies and let it set for about 30 minutes. You can refrigerate to set the chocolate faster if you wish.

Notes

*This is very sweet so start with ⅛ cup erythritol and taste, then add more if desired. 
For a more custard taste, use ¼ cup brown erythritol in place of granulated erythritol.
