Low Carb Cottage Cheese Pizza

 Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese – 2%-4% fat

2 large eggs

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning 

Pinch of salt and pepper

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

Mix the cottage cheese and eggs in a medium bowl then add the seasoning (garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper) and mix well. 

Pour the cottage cheese mixture in an even layer in a circle shape or rectangle shape onto the lined pan, about ¼ inch in thickness. 

Bake the crust on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until golden and set. Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Then add your toppings, and return the pizza to the oven for 5-10 more minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are nice and golden. 

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before you slice and serve it. 

Notes

Use a good quality cottage cheese like Good Culture or Daisy’s. Nancy’s is also really good. 

Allow the pizza crust to cool before you add the toppings and after it is fully done cooking. 

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat portions in the oven or air fryer at 350°F until warmed through.

Pizza Crust

Spicy Ground Beef and Cabbage

 Ingredients

3 cups cabbage, chopped

250 g ground beef (about 8 oz)

4 garlic cloves, minced

2 tbsp tamari sauce

2 tbsp olive oil

1 1/2 tsp chili flakes

1 tsp ginger, minced

Instructions

Add the beef to a non-stick pan, breaking it apart as well as you can while cooking at medium-high heat. Cover the pan with a lid for 4-5 minutes. I always add just a little bit of water to make sure the beef doesn't burn and get too dry. Please, make sure there's no water in the pan before adding the rest of the ingredients.

Add the chopped cabbage, chili flakes, 1 garlic clove, 1 tbsp tamari sauce and 1 tbsp oil (I used olive oil). Cover with a lid and cook for about 3 minutes.

Take the lid off, add 1 tbsp tamari, 1 tbsp olive oil and the ginger, the rest of the garlic and let cook for 4-5 more minutes or until any excess liquid is gone (there might be some from cooking the cabbage).

Serve with some toasted sesame seeds on top! Enjoy!

Spanish Paella with miracle rice

Spanish Paella with miracle rice

• 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust for spiciness)
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 cups uncooked short-grain white rice or miracle rice for low carb
• 1 pinch saffron threads
• 1 large bay leaf
• ½ bunch Italian flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• 1 quart chicken stock
• 1 lemon, zest and juice
• 1 medium Spanish onion, chopped
• 1 medium red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 pound chorizo sausage, casings removed and crumbled

1. In a bowl, mix chili powder, oregano, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper to make a marinade. Add the chicken, coat it well, and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large paella pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the rice, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring until the rice is well coated in oil.
3. Pour in the chicken stock (use less if using miracle rice), add lemon juice, bay leaf, and saffron threads. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
4. While the rice is cooking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in another pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 3 minutes. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
5. Stir in the chorizo and bell pepper, cooking for another 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until they are pink and opaque, about 2 minutes.
6. Remove the bay leaf from the rice and discard it. Fold the parsley and lemon zest into the rice mixture.
7. To serve, spread the rice mixture onto a large platter and top with the chicken, chorizo, and shrimp mixture.
8. Let the paella rest for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
