Ingredients

  • 2 cups canned coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup xylitol, erythritol, or sweetener of choice
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • optional ingredients for desired flavor

Instructions

  • Be sure to use full-fat canned coconut milk, not lite or coconutmilk beverage. If desired, you can use the seeds from a vanilla bean instead of the extract. To make the keto ice cream: Stir together the milk, sweetener, salt, and vanilla extract. If you have an ice cream machine, simply churn according to manufacturer’s directions. Or to make it without an ice cream machine, freeze the mixture in ice cube trays, then blend the frozen cubes in a high-speed blender such as a Vitamix OR thaw them enough to then blend in a food processor or regular blender. Eat as-is, or freeze an hour or so for a firmer texture. Due to not having any preservatives or stabilizers, the keto ice cream is best the day it’s made, but you can technically freeze leftovers up to a month and thaw before serving.

The Best Homemade Cinnamon Rolls Ever! | #Easycinnamonrolls #Thebesthomemadecinnamonrollsever #Homemadecinnamonrolls #Dessertrecipes #Cookingrecipes #Bakingrecipes #Dessertrecipes #Bakingrecipes #Homemadedesserts #Pauladeencinnamonrolls #Foodrecipes #Copycatrecipes

Ingredients

  • Dough
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • Filling
  • 1/2 cup salted butter melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • Glaze
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup salted butter softened
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm milk, yeast, sugar, salt, butter, and eggs. Add in flour. Using a dough hook, turn the mixer on to a low speed.
  2. Once the flour starts to incorporate into the dough, increase the speed to a medium range. Add more flour as necessary so that the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough mixture should be tacky, but not stick to your hands. It should be soft. Add more or less flour until the dough reaches the desired consistency. The amount of flour you add in bread making is always an approximation and you should go by feel.
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased mixing bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
  4. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Punch down the dough and roll into a 12inch by 18inch rectangle.
  5. Brush the dough with 1/2 cup melted butter. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of the melted butter. Roll up tightly lengthwise so you have one long roll. Use plain dental floss or a sharp knife to cut the dough into 12 one-inch slices.
  6. Place the slices onto a lightly 9x13 pan. Cover and let rise 30 to 45 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake the rolls for about 14 minutes, until just kissed with brown on top.
  8. While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the cream cheese glaze by using a hand mixer to whip together cream cheese and butter in a bowl until light and fluffy. Whip in powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Add enough milk to achieve a drizzle-like consistency.
  9. Frost the rolls while still warm. Serve immediately or cool and store. Stays good for 4 to 5 days.

  • ¼ Asiago cheese, shredded (can also use more Parmesan instead) 
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded ¾ cup spinach, finely shredded (optional)


Instructions

  1. Use kitchen shears to cut the bacon into 2-3 inch pieces so that they equally cover the pan and cook evenly.
  2. In a large skillet, (preferablycast iron), cook the bacon slowly on low heat. *Low and slow is best for bacon*.
  3. Once the bacon is nearly cooked and crisp on each side, cook the tortellini in a large pot according to package instructions. Set aside.
  4. Remove the cooked bacon from the pan, set aside to cool, and leave 2 Tablespoons of bacon grease in the pan. Keep the heat on low and add the garlic to the pan, cooking for about one minute.
  5. Increase the heat to medium. Gradually whisk in the flour, stirring constantly, until all flour is incorporated and the grease has thickened.
  6. Gradually add the half and half (keep stirring). Bring the mixture to a boil and add the salt/pepper and Italian seasoning. Reduce the heat back to low and stir for about 2 more minutes.
  7. Add the Parmesan, Asiago, and mozzarella cheeses. Stir until well incorporated and thick. Toss in the spinach and the Tortellini and use a rubber spatula to carefully incorporate it into the sauce.
  8. Once the spinach has wilted (about 1 minute), turn off the heat. Crumble the cooled bacon into smaller pieces and sprinkle over the Tortellini. Serve and enjoy!

Instant Pot Whole “Rotisserie” Chicken | #Instantpotrecipeseasy #Howtocookfrozenchickenininstapot #Instantpotfrozenchickenrecipes #Instapotfrozenchickenrecipes #Instantpotchickenrecipesfrozen #Instapotrecipes #Pressurecookerrecipes #Instantpotrecipeshealthyfamily #Instantpotshrimpboil #Instapotribs #Instantpotbabybackribs #Instantpotrecipesforbeginners

 

Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken mine was 4.3 pounds
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 and 3/4 Tablespoons avocado oil (or you can use coconut or canola - something with a high smoke point)
  • 1 yellow onion quartered (optional)
  • 1 lemon halved (optional)
  • 1 cup chicken stock or broth

Instructions

  1. Remove all parts from the chicken cavity; rinse and pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. Optional: place the onion and lemon in the cavity of the chicken.
  3. Combine all of the spices, including salt and pepper, in a small ramekin dish; stir together.
  4. Add the oil to the spices, and stir until incorporated.
  5. Turn on your Instant Pot to preheat on the sauté setting on "normal."
  6. Rub half of the oil and spice mixture on the breast side of the chicken.
  7. Place the chicken, breast side down, in the preheated Instant Pot.
  8. Carefully rub the other half of the oil and spices mixture on the other side of the chicken.
  9. Allow the breast side to crisp up the chicken skin for a few minutes, about 3 to 4 minutes total.
  10. Carefully flip the chicken over to the other side, and let it crisp up the skin on the other side for about a minute. Flipping it over was a little awkward, but it helps to use a sturdy burger flipper and some tongs.
  11. Optional step: If you do not want your chicken sitting in the liquids, you can remove the chicken after it browns on the second side and place the trivet in the pot. Then place the chicken, breast side up, on the trivet.
  12. Add in the chicken stock.
  13. Place the lid on and lock it, per Instant Pot instructions.
  14. Set to manual high pressure for 25 minutes.
  15. Allow the Instant Pot to depressurize naturally (I.e., do not use the venting lever, but allow the pressure to dissipate slowly. Mine took about 15 minutes)
  16. Remove the lid, and transfer the chicken to a serving plate. Mine was so tender that it was falling apart a little!
  17. Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes prior to serving.
  18. I like to spoon or brush a little of the cooking liquid over the top just prior to serving to make the chicken extra juicy.
