Instead of going out for yet another Taco Tuesday that will leave you bloated and overly full; enjoy making these low carb and gluten free tacos! I either use butter lettuce or Siete gluten free tortillas. Siete tortillas are made with Cassava which is low glycemic and are also a resistant starch. Resistant starch is a type of carbohydrate that is low glycemic, anti-inflammatory and lowers blood glucose levels because it feeds the good bacteria in your gut. Enjoy!

A package of eight tortillas with the label for cassava and coconut.

Ingredients

4 slices bacon, diced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 cups bone broth or chicken broth
1 cup of coconut milk or cream
1 head cauliflower, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon of Creole Seasoning
4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 jalapeno thinly sliced
Ground black pepper, to taste
1-4 tablespoons coconut flour *optional*, (add coconut flour to thicken if you want your chowder thicker)

Instructions

Melt butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven, that’s fancy talk for big pot, over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 5-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. (Don’t be basic or afraid of fat and blot with a paper towel, you’re better than that, and you know fat is good for you).

Keep the render fat in the pot and add your garlic, onion, carrots, celery and cauliflower. Stir and cook, until everything is well coated in the fat. Add chicken broth and one tablespoon of the chopped parsely, turn up the heat to medium high and cover the pot with the lid and cook until everything is tender, about 5-7 minutes. Uncover and add coconut milk and stir.

Transfer everything to a blender and blend until well blended but still thick; about 10 seconds on a medium setting.

Transfer everything back into the pot. Stir in the Creole seasoning and pepper. Add more if you like. If you are not eating the chowder right away, add bay leaves and let it simmer with the lid on.

When ready to eat, check the consistency. If the chowder is too thick, add more coconut milk as needed or if it’s too thin, sprinkle a thin layer of coconut flour over the entire top of the chowder and stir until desired consistency is reached.

Serve in a bowl and garnish with bacon, jalapeno and parsley to your desire.

Before eating, send your food lots of Love and Eat with Joy. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 medium-large spaghetti squash


For Meatballs:

2 lbs ground beef or a mix of ground beef and pork – 1 lbs each, (I prefer 80/20 to keep it keto but any fat ratio will work)
2 Tbl fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 egg
2 tsps Creole Seasoning salt
---
3 tsp of Italian Seasoning
OR
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion power
1 tsp dried oregano
---
¼ cup room temperature water
1tbsp coconut oil


Topping for the Meatballs:

4 oz mozzarella cheese
Sprinkle of chopped parsley

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Poke several holes around the entire spaghetti squash. Microwave for 3-5 minutes. Cut squash lengthwise and scoop out seeds.
On a parchment lined baking sheet, place the two halves of spaghetti squash with the skin side up and bake for 30 minutes or until the skin is tender/not hard.

Remove from oven and pan. Turn the squash up so it can cool.

While the squash is cooking, combine all the meatball ingredients (except for the toppings for the meatballs) in a large bowl until thoroughly mixed.
With a spoon, scoop meat and form into 2″ meatballs.

Pan fry meatballs in a large skillet over medium heat with coconut oil until cooked through.

(You can also bake them in the oven at 350 F for 20 minutes; but in my opinion they are more scrumptious pan fried in coconut oil).

Take the spaghetti squash and scoop out the noodle-like squash strands with a fork or spoon and transfer to the plate you will soon be using to stuff your hungry face with 😉

Add your sauce of choice to the squash as well as the meatball and garnish with the chopped parsley.
