Chicken Tenders *****

Very flavorful and tender.  Cooked some broccoli in the extra olive oil and butter and served it with the chicken.

• 1 Tbsp tallow or lard
• ▢2 Tbsp butter, divided
• ▢1 pound chicken tenderloins
• ▢2 tsp smoked paprika
• ▢½ tsp Himalayan salt
• ▢
• ▢4 cloves garlic, crushed
• ▢1 tsp oregano
• 2 Tbsp water

• Add olive oil and melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add the chicken tenders; season with smoked paprika.
• Cook for 3 minutes on each side (season each side as you cook).
• Make room for the garlic, melt the remaining butter, and add the garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until the garlic becomes fragrant.
• Season with oregano, and cook for one more minute.
• Add water to the pan to deglaze it, and scrape off any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan (that's where all of the good flavor is).

Baked Eggs in Squash - to try

Try with Delicata Squash

Sunny side up eggs nestled inside acorn squash rings😊

Sprinkled with parmesan cheese, sun dried tomatoes, sea salt and black pepper.

I brushed the acorn squash slices with melted ghee and baked them for 30 minutes on 375°F before cracking the eggs inside.

Then, baked them for 8 more minutes and they came out perfect and delicious🤗

Duchess Cauliflower Casserole - *****

Duchess Cauliflower Casserole 

Makes 6 servings (1/2 cup each)

20 ounces frozen riced cauliflower

2 tablespoons heavy cream [sub coconut cream]

1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut milk

1 large egg, separated

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

A pinch of garlic powder

4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter [sub ghee], divided

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Heat riced cauliflower in a large saucepan until thawed and most of the excess liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and puree in a food processor until a mashed potato consistency is reached.

Whisk together heavy cream, coconut milk, egg yolk, sea salt, and garlic. Stir this mixture into the mashed cauliflower along with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter until well combined.

Grease a small casserole dish and spread the cauliflower mash evenly in the dish.

Whisk together the egg white, remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and a pinch of sea salt. Pour 1/2 to 3/4 of the egg white mixture on the top of the cauliflower mash. Tilt the pan and allow the egg white mixture to flow into the corners and all over the top until evenly coated. Use the flat side of a sharp knife to carve a diamond pattern into the top of the casserole, pressing only about 1/4 inch into the surface.

5. Place in the preheated oven on the middle rack and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning 1/2 way through cooking. Bake until the crust is a nice golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to rest for about 15-20 minutes before serving.

Easy Broccoli Soup ****

Tasted okay but not a lot of depth to it.

 I added smoked salt and nooch, which gave it a richer flavor.  I didn't garnish with olive oil, only because I didn't have any.
