I just returned for a week-long vacation in Greece. Everything about the trip was amazing, especially the food!

I ate so much that I am in desperate need to return to my healthy eating regimen. I am craving green vegetables and I could definitely use a break from the carbs.

This keto friendly zucchini noodle dish is the perfect medicine!

This cream sauce is absolutely divine. It is loaded up with butter, cream cheese, and heavy cream. Don’t forget your seasonings! You don’t want a bland sauce.

Cream sauces are what I love most about the keto lifestyle. Keto is very high fat, moderate protein, and little to no carbs. The high-fat portion means more butter, olive oil, cream cheese, parmesan, etc.

Do zucchini noodles taste like pasta? No. The shape provides a nice substitute for a dish like this, but the reality is, nothing tastes like bread or pasta, except for bread and pasta.

Pay close attention to your preparation of the zucchini noodles. Zucchini noodles emit a LOT of water when you cook them. You will want to sweat the excess water out of the zucchini first.

I lay the noodles on a flat surface lined with paper towels. A sheet pan will work well. Spread the noodles out. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of salt throughout. Allow the zucchini to sit for at least 30 minutes.

This step is important because if skipped, the pan will be filled with water and create more of a soup. This also helps give the zucchini a consistency and texture that is close to pasta.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds zucchini, spiralized the number of zucchini will vary based on size, this is about 4-5 zucchini
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream If you prefer a lot of cream sauce, try 3/4 cup
  • 4 oz cream cheese cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan reggiano cheese shredded
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • parsley to garnish

Instructions

  1. Line a sheet pan with paper towels. Place the zucchini noodles on the paper towels. Sprinkle with the 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Allow the zucchini to sit for 30 minutes to sweat out excess water.

  2. Heat a skillet on medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, shrimp, and minced garlic. Cook each side of the shrimp for 1-2 minutes until bright pink.

  3. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

  4. Add the butter to the skillet on medium heat. Allow the butter to partially melt and then add the chunks of cream cheese, Parmesan reggiano, heavy cream, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted. The cream cheese may take some time to dissolve.

Recipe Notes

Be sure to drain the excess water by following the steps noted above. This step is important because if skipped, the pan will be filled with water and create more of a soup. This also helps give the zucchini a consistency and texture that is close to pasta.

To serve using grilled shrimp, add the shrimp to a grill pan and grill on medium high heat for 3-4 minutes. Instead of adding the garlic while cooking the shrimp, add it to the pan with the butter when creating the cream sauce.

Ingredients

  • 5 salmon fillets I used about 1 1/2 pounds and sliced into pieces
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1-2 teaspoons McCormick’s Grill Mates BBQ Seasoning to taste (See cooking note)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Add the olive oil to the salmon and add the seasonings.
  3. Combine the parsley, garlic, and cheese in a small bowl and stir. Sprinkle on top of the salmon.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and add the salmon. Cover with another piece of parchment paper.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and bake for another 5 minutes.
  6. Allow the salmon to cool and serve.

Recipe Notes

The McCormick’s Grill Mates BBQ Seasoning will give the fish a nice smoky flavor. The brand does not provide information on the number of carbs per serving in the seasoning. The ingredients include brown sugar, but it is difficult to understand exactly as much. If you are strict keto, you may choose to omit this, however, one teaspoon spread throughout 5 servings should work well for all ketosis macros.

I love the kalamata olives and feta cheese combined with the shrimp. I have been on such an Instant Pot recipe kick lately, that I have neglected to create any one-pan/sheet-pan meals..

Zucchini noodles make a great substitute for pasta. It does NOT taste like pasta.  I wanted to make sure I communicated that in case you have yet to try “zoodles.”

One ounce of white spaghetti pasta has 50 calories and 22 grams of carbs. An ounce of zucchini has  6 calories and less than 1 gram of carbs.

Shrimp and crab stuffed sweet potatoes came to fruition because I have quite a few ingredients left over from previous recipes. I have gourmet cheese on-hand from my Bacon Gouda Mac and Cheese and Baked Macaroni and Cheese dishes. I also planned to make another batch of my Warm Spinach Dip. I never got around to it, so I have a package of frozen spinach. I am trying to get better about using my leftover ingredients and avoiding waste. I came up with shrimp and crab stuffed sweet potatoes with these ingredients in mind. Check out the macros below! I crammed 2 portions of meat and 2 veggies into one dish, and it yields less than 400 calories and over 30 grams of protein.

I’m a seafood lover, so healthy crab cake sliders make so much sense, right? If you peruse the rest of my recipes that should be fairly obvious. These crab cakes are everything! They have a nice crunch and are packed with so much flavor. I drizzled my sliders with my Chipotle Mayo. Love at first bite! I purchased my jumbo lump crab meat at Costco. I purchased a couple of pounds for about $15. I only used one container for this recipe. 

For meal prep, I stored the patties and Chipotle Mayo in separate Tupperware I placed the slider buns and cabbage slaw in a Ziploc bag.

If you know me well then you know I am very fond of traditional Asian cuisine. I often frequent a local Vietnamese restaurant a couple of blocks from my house. Yes, I know crab rangoon is NOT an authentic Asian appetizer, but that will not stop me from enjoying it! I make my rounds and enjoy authentic Asian meals a lot. So, I deserve to indulge in this un-authentic treat from time to time!

I have become obsessed with my Air Fryer! Growing up, my family ate fried food a lot. My mom fried chicken, pork chops, fish, and other dishes quite a bit. These meals were certainly tasty but obviously are not good for our overall health. Times have changed so much!

We now have a device that can fry food without using all of that grease. That is simply astonishing. As such, you will probably find me in the kitchen every single weekend experimenting with the Air Fryer. I feel like I owe it to my childhood!

A lot of restaurants that serve crab rangoon use imitation crab meat. If you prefer imitation crab meat, substitute that for the lump crab used in this recipe. There is a difference in taste. If you are looking to replicate your favorite, that may be the best option for you.

Ingredients

  • 4 or 6 oz reduced-fat cream cheese If you prefer really creamy crab rangoon use 6 oz
  • 4 or 6 oz lump crab meat If you prefer your crab rangoon to have more cream cheese and less crab, use 4 oz. Seafood lovers may want to go for 6 oz
  • 2 green onions
  • 21 wonton wrappers
  • 2 garlic cloves chopped
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. If your cream cheese is hard, heat it in the microwave for 20 seconds to soften.

  2. Combine the cream cheese, green onions, crab meat, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic in small bowl. Stir to mix well.

  3. Lay out the wonton wrappers on a working surface. I used a large, bamboo cutting board. Moisten each of the wrappers with water. I use a cooking brush, and brush it along all of the edges. 

  4. Load about a teaspoon and a half of filling onto each wrapper. Be careful not to overfill.

  5. Fold each wrapper diagonally across to form a triangle. From there bring up the two opposite corners toward each other. Don't close the wrapper yet. Bring up the other two opposite sides, pushing out any air. Squeeze each of the edges together.  Be sure to check out the recipe video above for illustration.

  6. Load the crab rangoon into the Air Fryer. 

  7. Spray with oil. I prefer to use olive oil. Coconut oil works well, too.

  8. Place the Air Fryer on 375 degrees. Cook for 10 minutes.

  9. If you piled the crab rangoon on top of each other, swap the rangoon that are on the bottom for the ones at the top. This will allow each to cook evenly.

  10. I have made this recipe and have stacked in all of the crab rangoon and I have made it in two batches. I believe making it in batches works best. If you stack them, you may have a few that are really soft to touch and break apart when you go to flip them over.

  11. Return the batch to the Air Fryer. Cook for an additional 5-8 minutes until they have reached your desired level of golden brown and crisp.

  12. Remove the crab rangoon from the Air Fryer. If you wish, you can coat each with oil (olive, coconut, etc). 

  13.  Serve with your desired dipping sauce. I used Franks Red Hot Sweet Chili.

Recipe Notes

Your cook time may vary depending on the Air Fryer brand that you use. I recommend a temperature of at least 370 degrees. You should cook the crab rangoon until they have reached your desired level of crunchiness. Check in on them while they air fry to be sure the crab rangoon does not overcook.

I may have cracked a code with this Air Fryer Crab Fried Rice recipe. This is the first recipe that I have created that uses my push pan (see photo below) with my Air Fryer. I have used this pan quite a few times with my Instant Pot to make cheesecake, banana nut bread, pumpkin spice bread, and lasagna. I have discovered this pan also works well in the Air Fryer!

There are a couple of Thai restaurants in Kansas City that have crab fried rice dishes that are to die for! When I have a craving for it, it is pretty much impossible to resist giving in.

This recipe allows me to give into those cravings, without any of the guilt. The restaurant quality crab fried rice is usually prepared with jasmine rice, which isn’t terrible (in terms of macros). However, preparing the rice at home allows me to use whole grain brown rice, which is my favorite.

I love eggs so I definitely wanted to include them in this recipe. You can use egg whites as well, or a combination of both.

There are so many ways you can vary this recipe. You can use bean sprouts, carrots, peas, fresh cucumber. I have had fried rice prepared many different ways.

For the sake of time, I used whole grain brown Ready Rice. Click the photo link below to purchase the exact rice used in the recipe.

Temperature and total cooking time may vary depending on the Air Fryer brand that you use. I use a Black and Decker. Use your judgment by looking at the color of the rice. It has finished cooking when it is dark brown in color and has reached your desired crunchiness.

Feel free to add more or less soy sauce. I usually cook mine using the serving noted above. For my own personal serving, I usually add a little more.

Add fresh squeezed lemon or lime juice for additional flavor!

Sheet Pan Garlic Herb Goat Cheese Stuffed Salmon And Veggies

Goodbye boring salmon, hello sheet pan garlic herb goat cheese stuffed salmon and veggies. I am a seafood lover. I absolutely love salmon, but like any meat or dish, eating the same thing time and time again can get dull. I have to switch it up! A lot of my recipes as of late, have included Parmigannio Reggiano cheese because I am pretty obsessed. I needed to switch up that, too. I love goat cheese. There probably isn’t a single flavor of cheese I do not like. I love them all. I hadn’t had a salmon and goat cheese pairing, so here we are. Experiment gone well!

Salmon is high in omega 3s and protein. In this recipe, one serving provides 37 grams of protein. Omega 3s are fatty acids that have many health benefits and contribute to why salmon is high in “good fats.” According to the Harvard Medical School Health Publications, omega 3s ease inflammation, ensure the heart maintains a steady beat, prevent the formation of dangerous clots in the bloodstream, and lower levels of triglycerides, the most common type of fat-carrying particle in the bloodstream. Studies have shown that the more fish you eat, the lower your risk of coronary artery disease and dying of heart disease. These and other data are behind the recommendation both in federal dietary guidelines and from the American Heart Association (AHA) to eat two servings of fatty fish per week. Dietary surveys suggest that Americans get less than half that amount.

Nutrition experts believe that one reason fish-eaters have fewer heart attacks may stem from the fact that they’re eating fish in place of red meat or processed meats like sausage, bacon, or ham, which contain more saturated fat (and in the processed meats, a lot of salt). Both substances are linked to a higher risk of heart disease. I have a couple of pescatarian friends. Although I could never give up red meat completely (I love a nice, juicy steak!), this information does make me want to examine my consumption. I only buy lean red meat. However, I may make some additional dietary adjustments in the future.
