Keto taco boats

Making:

Gluten-free/keto taco boats

Original recipe: Here

Here's what I have:

Almond flour
Coconut flour
Xantham gum
Baking powder 
Kosher salt 
Apple cider vinegar 
Egg
Water

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 375. I mixed the wet ingredients in a tall Tupperware bowl and the dry ingredients in the square bowl until they were well mixed. 

Once done I began adding the dry mix to the wet mixture bowl stirring with a butter knife until the dough formed. Per instructions in the original recipe I wrapped the wet mix in saran to rest for 15 mins.

Once the dough finished resting I cut it into 4 pieces and flattened the sections.  There's were draped over a popover pan.

These were baked in the oven for 10 minutes because I made the tortillas thick. I then removed them from the popover pan and baked an additional 5 mins. 

Here are some of the boats in the finished dish. 


These were a great low carb option for this meal.  Next time I might cut more portions and roll thinner for faster cooking.

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter.  I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature.  The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot.  The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter.  Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris

While the water was coming to a boil I coated the pork chops in the spice and set them aside.   The potatoes were steamed for 10 minutes at med-high heat first then the heat was turned to warm. I put the asparagus into the steamer basket with them and put the lid back on the pot. I used my cast iron pan, heating it up (high temp) before placing half of the butter into it. Pork chops were cooked in the pan, turned down to medium heat for a total of 8 minutes, 4 minutes for each side. Once they were done I took them out of the pan ...
