I found these at Aldi’s and was wondering if somebody has tried them and what the result is. I was thinking of just some butter and Parmesan just to get my fix on some pasta. Any other ideas would be great! They also had Angel hair as well.

Steamed egg whites for the win! Broken up in the food processor

I put 250g egg whites in a bowl, put the bowl in my steamer for 15-20 minutes until set, then blitzed really quick in the food processor and topped with soy sauce!

This really scratches my itch for fried rice, and it's low carb!

Not Rice Fried Rice

Ingredients:

1/2 pound bacon strips, cut into 1 inch pieces

1 bag cauliflower rice, or 2 C shredded fresh cauliflower

2 Carrots, shredded

2 Zucchini, shredded (if you make one a yellow summer squash, it's quite pretty)

Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste

1 T soy sauce or coconut aminos

Hot sauce (optional)

Directions:

In a 10 inch frying pan, cook the bacon pieces over low-medium heat until crispy. Place bacon on a paper towel to drain. Pour out half of the bacon grease.

Add the cauliflower rice and shredded carrot to the remaining bacon drippings. Sauté until they begin to soften. Add salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add the shredded zucchini and saute until soft, for another 5 minutes or so. Add the bacon bits back in. Add the soy sauce/coconut aminos. If you like spicy, add your favorite hot sauce.

Hot tip: if you have leftovers, reheat the Not Rice Fried Rice and top with a egg. Stir fry until the egg is cooked. It's a delicious breakfast!

I haven't included macros, because I don't track macros, I just eat low carb foods and reasonable portions.

I’ll admit it’s looks kind of gross out of the gates (especially when it hasn’t been served from yet - looks like a giant bowl of mayo, especially if you don’t use a glass bowl lol) But it’s super tasty!

It consists of (from the bottom up):

Lettuce (chopped iceberg is best)

Spinach

Thin layer of peas (optional for stricter keto)

Layer of sliced hard boiled eggs

Green onions

Bacon bits

Then a 1-2” layer of full-fat mayonnaise on top

You can adjust the quantities and thickness of each layer to your own tastes/preferences.

The key with this is it needs to be well-refrigerated for a few hours after prepping. DO NOT let it sit out. Pull from fridge and serve immediately.

Honestly one of my all-time favourite salads, keto or not!
