I Have a Dream (aka A Low Carb Dumpling In Every Pot)

Low carb chicken and dumplings the stuff diet freedom
and dream are made of...

Psylli Susie T. of Fluffy Chix Cook, has a dream. A dream of which she is certain, Dr. King would approve. A dream of health and low carb freedom. and paleo-prosperity for all Americans, no, the entire world. Join her as she discusses why a low carb dumpling in every pot, or a pot of low carb chicken and dumplings in every kitchen could end world domination of evil food giants threatening and enslaving all of humanity.

Rockin' Radish Browns

Keto-licious brunch totals only 7g Net Carbs! Radish
Browns compliment fried eggs, bacon, turkey sausage
and Psylli Turmeric Pancakes

I believe I’ve mentioned once or twice, that Sunday brunch is a special thing between Denny, “the boys” and me. We try to cook a beautiful brunch each week as a way of having time to relax and visit, drink a few cups of quality decaff coffee, and catch up with what’s gone down the previous week and what we face in the coming week. The kitchen feels warm and inviting, the fragrances emanating from it smell divine, and time slows down. Relaxation and joy in the moment is the order of the day. Brunch is the meal I look most forward to each week.

Of Low Carb Breakfast Tacos and Psylli Wraps

Do you think a low carb, keto-approved and gluten free tortilla or wrap is a myth or worse, an oxymoron? Well, Susie T. and Fluffy Chix Cook can show you that low carb, gluten free, keto wraps ARE possible and more, taste awesome! Convenience and flavor-together again. Yippee!

(Apologies in advance--this is going to be one of Fluffy Chix Cook's long-winded posts in praise of a dear friend's Psylli Wrap, a near-perfect and dead-easy low carb tortilla and wrap alternative that is a must-have in your rotation. There are two recipes in this post: one for an amazing Egg and Sausage Breakfast Taco and the other is for my tweaked version of DocP's Psylli Wrap. So be patient. Get a cup of coffee, and come right back now, ya here? Set a spell!)

Sentimental Journey - Texas Forever

People always ask, "You Texans. Psssshhhhaw! You all act like you're the eighth wonder of the world over there. What's so special about Texas?"

Well this is a departure from our typical food posts. This is a sentimental journey and a tribute to all the members of my family from this great state of Texas, whom I adore. This was sent to me by my brother-in-law, whom I've known since I was three years old. He's really a brother, not a BIL. In fact, both of my brothers-in-law are more brother, than inlaw. But I digress.

Low Carb Asparagus Soup

Low Carb Asparagus Soup is a perfect low carb, keto side.

People often assume cream soups are heavy; big calorie and carb-bombs. But that couldn’t be further from the truth with this easy and delicious, Asparagus Soup. In 35 minutes or less you can whip this soup up and hold it until you’re ready to serve dinner, or make it ahead and serve it chilled.

Low Carb Chicken Pot Pie - Deconstructed

Deconstructed low carb chicken pot pie (with
a Mozzarella Stuffed, Parmesan Crusted
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 Beefy Fauxtato Soup - MMMMmmmmmm Good!

Beefy Fauxtatoes Soup with Gruyere Cheese Croutons

We’ve had unseasonably and unreasonably cold weather this winter. In Houston, that just doesn’t happen, and it leads me to question whether or not Global Warming is just a bunch of malarkey? I won’t be distracted from my appointed rounds by politics. So let me say instead that when cold weather strikes, we strike back—with soup! Yes, my friends (all 2 of ya’s), soup is what cures the chilblains of your soul.

Soup, Soup, Soup, Low Carb Soup

We interrupt this blog for a late-breaking, low carb news bulletin. Houston shut down in a state of emergency as temperatures plummet below 32°.

Mac N Cheese Zoodles (aka Low Carb Macaroni and Cheese)

Shannon Harding's Mac N Cheese Zoodles from
The Low Carb Dish

My friend Shannon Harding from The Low Carb Dish, a low carb Facebook Group I belong to reminded me about a one-time-true-love. Blue box macaroni and cheese. Yes, I’m a child of the 60-70s and I adored the blue box as soon as I was allowed to taste it (which wasn’t often—Mama was a scratch-cook). I love the Brady Bunch, Leave It To Beaver, and yes, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. Is it any wonder I’m fluffy?

Korokke - Beef and Fauxtato Croquettes Rule School!

Japanese Korokke - Delicious Low Carb Beef and
Fauxtato Oven-Fried Croquettes

It’s a funny thing how life goes. You’re walkin’ along, minding your own beeswax and things fall into your lap in heavenly accord. That’s what happened last week during a FB session. I saw the heavenly of heavenlies. Japanese Korokke.

If you’re like me, you just said, “Runnnhhhh?”

And your next thought was, “What tha hayull (Texan for h-e-double hockie sticks) are Korokke? They sound like some new-fangled Russian food.”

But you and I would both be wrong.

R-O-N-G, wrong.
