Low Carb Chicken Pot Pie - Deconstructed

Revolutionary Roll just cuz we can)!

We grew up eating Southern comfort food. I am a product of my upbringing. I adore creamy, comfort-y food. It may get boring to you guys that FCC doesn’t post as many “Mediterranean,” “clean-looking,” “healthy-looking,” “light dishes.” I cruise the diet sites and think, “Wow, those are beautiful dishes, I should start making more of 'those'." (Fill in your “those” blank, now.)

The reality is, I do make “those” dishes now and then…mainly in the summer, when it’s hot as hades here in H-town; when we’re all sittin’ around in our underwear, fryin’ eggs on the sidewalk. Then it’s “light foods,” and salads, and Mediterranean food.

Low Carb Cream Gravy – The Southern Elixir Of Comfort and Life!

Southern-style Low Carb Cream Gravy...mmmmMMM!

Ok, claiming that Low Carb Cream Gravy is the Southern cure-all for anything is risky business these days--even for us DFSWs (Delicate Flowers Of Southern Womanhood). We don’t want to get in trouble…but, will say that Cream Gravy, when made properly—aka low carb, makes foods taste better! Especially if those foods also happen to be Oven Fried Anything (like Fluffy’s Oven Chicken Fried Steak) or Roasted Smashed Fauxtatoes!

Dang! Sometimes a recipe is so versatile you just have to shout it from the rooftops. So here goes!

I LURRRRRVE (Texan for L-O-V-E) Fluffy Chix Cook Low Carb Bread Crumbs!

There I shouted it.

Low Carb Bread Crumbs are so versatile. They work like a champ on everything from Oven Fried Zucchini, to Oven Fried Green Tomatoes, Oven Fried Okra and Onion Rings, Oven Fried Fish, Oven Fried Chicken and yep, you guessed what’s next…Oven Chicken Fried Steak.

No. I am NOT kidding.

Atkins Day 13 - The Mighty Juicy Loosey

The Big Nasty = The Mighty Juicy Loosey, low carb,
keto, Atkins Induction-friendly and lovin' life.

First of all I have to apologize to the academy. My pic of the Mighty Blue Cheese Juicy Loosey is an old image. I was too incredibly, PSYCHOLOGICALLY starved at the mere thought of this beauty, there was no way I wasn't gonna sit down and enjoy it piping hot and melti-licious as soon as it came off the fire.

There I said it. By the time these bad boys were off the grill and on our plate, it was as if my tummeh was sayin’, “Get. In. Mah. Belleh!”

NOW!

And who am I to argue with “the man?”

Venison Meatloaf Makes a Great Atkins Induction Dinner!

Venison Meatloaf - a GREAT Atkins Induction Meal

I love windfalls. Completely unexpected, we were blessed this week with a windfall of epic proportions! A friend brought us a package of ground venison, some venison backstrap, and wild boar steaks along with a bit of venison sausage. I couldn’t believe our good fortune! You see, we grew up with hunter-gather daddy who loved to hunt and fish. Most of our meat was shot, caught, or wrestled to the ground with pure skill and cunning! And Dad was feeding a family with 2 growing boy, plus 3 daughters with healthy appetites, in addition to Mom and WaWa (Dad’s mama). So that was no easy feat to bag enough wild game for that size a family. But he did it. Successfully!

How To Trim, Cut, and Cook Pork Tender - A Perfect Primal and Low Carb Meal

Coming soon to a Fluffy Chix Cook blog near you! (hehe)

I'm working on a post that takes you step-by-step through trimming, portioning and cookin' pork tenderloins -- the other white meat. So I thought I'd share the first and last photos with you to let you in on another sneak peak!

Wash and dry pork tenderloins. (I always rinse meat under running, cold water--a trick taught to me by our sweet little departed daddy.)

 

Slices of juicy and fork-tender pork tenderloin roasted and served with smashed cauliflower. What a super meal and perfectly Primal.

It takes about 10 minutes to butcher out a package of pork tenders, but I think you will agree after reading, that it's time well-spent. You get about 12 meals out one package of 2 tenderloins. And at $3.47/pound that's a nutritional bargain!

Ugly Green Beans (UGB)

Beautiful, fresh green beans. Washed and ready.

You might wonder how a green bean could ever be called ugly. Green beans are perfectly beautiful, right? Fresh, velvety, crisp and green with their tiny curled tips just waiting for a quick blanch then a roll in olive oil and a whole busload of slivered garlic…now that is a beautiful, beautiful thought.

But UGB (Ugly Green Beans)? Well folks, this is a recipe many of you already know about, but still stands to be mentioned for the benefit of the unenlightened. You see, I’m tired.

Low Carb Homestyle Southern Bacon Gravy and Low Carb Biscuits for Breakfast, Brunch or Brinner

Low Carb Southern Bacon Gravy with Low Carb Biscuits
along with fried eggs, sugar free preserves and grape tomatoes

If we are truly what we eat, most Southerners would consist of half fried food and half cream gravy. I’m not lyin’ to you and yes, that includes the “New Southern Cuisine” movement.  And part of me deep down in my Southern soul, mourns. And feels shame about that. Yes, I grew up eating those foods. Yes, I love them. And yes, I still have a weight problem today, despite low carbing for 98% of 12 years.

(On the plus side, I have lost around 80lbs and the low carb lifestyle halted a PCOS-driven 8pound per month weight gain cycle I was locked into 12 years ago when I begain this way of eating.)

Yep, Southerners are as a region, some of the portliest people this side of the Mason Dixon. And we have some of the highest rates of diabetes, kidney disease, cancer, heart disease, many “-eases”. Jesus.

So why on earth, am I blogging about bacon gravy then? Yes, that’s bacon gravy in the picture there. Isn’t it a pretty sight? But aren’t I just contributing to the delinquency of Southerners the world-over
