Biscuits are back on the menu!

I thought I would have to skip this on a low carb diet but here comes King Arthur to save the day! No wonder this company is called King Arthur. A true knight in shining armor. The absolute star of the show is their King Arthur Keto Wheat Flour (or Keto Wheat Pizza Flour) that makes biscuits that taste and feel like the real thing – no missing out. There is a catch though – these are not gluten free. In fact gluten is one of the major ingredients which makes this a low carb, high protein biscuit. 

King Arthur Keto Wheat Flour

Just Like the Real Thing

These are crumbly, melt in your mouth and may be even more delicious than a biscuit you would get at a brunch spot. Most importantly there is no insulin spike sugar crash afterwards. Note, this is not a low calorie food, but so light on the carbs that it won’t have you feeling weighed down. You can have these at breakfast and head in to your day. This isn’t just for brunch on a lazy Saturday. This is a ready to go staple in my kitchen. Each week I meal prep these to have a low carb breakfast item or side on hand.

And they pair so well with my lobster mushroom dish (pictured below)!

Mexican Street Beets

This deliciously spicy roasted beetroot recipe is a corn-free twist on elote (Mexican street corn). Golden beets star in this lower carb version of a spicy classic that will hit the spot as a Mexican side, a yummy snack or even a large portion as a whole meal.  Golden beets bring a vibrant color and a sweet, earthy flavor that pairs wonderfully with the classic elote toppings. This recipe offers a unique, nutrient-rich alternative that’s just as satisfying and full of flavor.

Their natural sweetness and vibrant color make them a great alternative to corn, providing an earthy and subtly sweet flavor. This is especially useful for people with corn allergies.

Instructions:

  1. Prepare and Roast the Beets:

    • Blanch the beets for 1 minute in boiling water with a pinch of salt added to the water.
    • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or use an air fryer set to the same temperature.
    • Roast the Beets: Spread the seasoned beets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the beets have a bit of char and are fork tender.

  2. Prepare the Elote-Style Sauce:

    • Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise (or yogurt), smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, and a squeeze of lime juice. Set aside.

  3. Assemble the Golden Beet Elote-Style Bites:

    • Toss the Beets: Once the beets are roasted, transfer them to a mixing bowl. Toss them with the elote sauce until they are evenly coated.
    • Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the crumbled cotija cheese (or vegan alternative) over the sauced beets.
    • Garnish: Finish with chopped fresh cilantro and an extra sprinkle of paprika or chili powder for added color and flavor. Serve with lime wedges on the side for extra tang.

  4. Serve:

    • Enjoy Warm: Serve your golden beet elote-style bites warm as a side dish or appetizer. Optionally, drizzle with hot sauce or sprinkle with tajín for a spicier kick.

Tips and Variations:

  • Spice It Up:
    Add chopped jalapeños or sprinkle tajín for a spicier version.

  • Make It Vegan:
    Use vegan mayo and vegan cheese for a completely plant-based dish.
