Recipes - Week 1

Crepini Wraps (1 serving = 3 crepinis)

These are my absolute favorite.  I take them for lunch a few times each week and if my family feels like a non-keto meal, I pull a few of these from my freezer and warm them up (dipping them in an oz of G Hughes sugar free sweet chili dipping sauce – along with a salad; 3 cups romaine lettuce and 2 tbs of G Hughes honey Dijon sugar free dressing).

G Hughes has tons of amazing sauces.  I haven’t come across one yet that I don’t like.

Crepinis (very thin cauliflower wraps available at Costco; usually outside of the fruit/veggie fridge area) are a staple in my house.  I always have at least one package in my freezer.  When I make crepini wraps, I make the whole package (14) and freeze them in batches of 3.  I prefer Walmart’s rotisserie chicken for this recipe.  Of all the rotisserie chickens that I’ve bought, Walmart’s is my favorite. 

I usually cook my crepini wraps in my air-fryer; 400 degrees for 4 minutes.  If you don’t have an air fryer, cook them in a skillet or a frying pan.

The ingredient amounts below are for 3 crepinis.  Adjust accordingly if you are making more.

  • 3 crepinis
  • 55 grams of shredded rotisserie chicken (skin removed)
  • 35 grams Signature Cracker Barrel marble cheese

 

  1. Lay 3 wraps down (careful, they are v-e-r-y thin).
  2. Divide the chicken and cheese between the 3 wraps.
  3. Roll them up and fry, air fry, or bake them.

 

For a great snack idea, heat a crepini in a skillet.  When it gets a bit crunchy, spread 1 tbs of all natural peanut butter or 1 tbs of berry whipped cream cheese on the crepini.  Fold it in half and cook both sides.  When it’s cooked to your liking, roll it up like a crepe and enjoy!

         (No reference as this is my own recipe)

Once everything is cooked and mixed, I pull ‘my portion’ and set it aside so that my family can have a teriyaki sauce added.  I eat my stir fry with 2 tbs of G Hughes sugar free honey Dijon dipping sauce.

 

Zoodles (2 servings)

  • 2 medium zucchini and/or daikon
  • 2 tbs coconut oil
  1. Using a spiral slicer, slice the zucchini and/or daikon.

Although these can be eaten plain, I usually to add ¼ cup of Rao’s Marinara Sauce.

 

Chocolate Avocado Pudding (2 servings)

  • Begin with only ½ of the coconut milk. Add until desired thickness is reached.
