Spicy Shrimp Dip

Image
Spicy Shrimp Dip Spicy Shrimp Dip is so creamy and cheesy and makes a great appetizer for New Year’s or game day. It’s full of diced shrimp and flavored with both cajun seasoning plus red pepper flakes for plenty of spice. This shrimp dip is full of diced shrimp so it’s best to use very fresh shrimp if possible. If not I would buy frozen shrimp and be sure to defrost them and then blot them well with paper towels to get rid of any excess moisture. A combination of cream cheese and mayonnaise makes this dip supremely creamy. And lots of mozzarella cheese plus some Parmesan cheese give it lots of gooey cheese flavor. I like how well mozzarella melts in a dip, but you could also use Monterey Jack cheese or a combo of Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese. I like to serve Spicy Shrimp Dip with toasted baguette slices or tortilla chips. This dip really packs the flavor and if you are a fan of shrimp, you will have a hard time pulling yourself away from it. It will be a hit at your next party! Sp...

Easy Chicken Broccoli Casserole (Paleo, Low Carb, and Gluten Free)

Easy Chicken Broccoli Casserole (Paleo, Low Carb, and Gluten Free) I made this casserole a few weeks ago for my dad and his friend who were coming over to do some odd jobs at my house in Nashville. They loved it and kept asking for seconds. It is very filling and will satisfy a heart appetite for many hours. I used to love casseroles as a kid such as potatoes au gratin, mac and cheese (try my sub recipe here) and tuna noodle casserole but this one is just as good without the gluten and dairy. Hope you like it and will share it with your family. Leave a comment and let me know how it turns out. This dish is perfect for the 21 day sugar detox too because it has no sugar or starchy ingredients. Get started on the detox here. Ingredients: 2 tablespoons coconut oil, divided (order here) 4 cups fresh broccoli florets 1 medium white onion, diced (use 1/2 onion to cut carbs, if desired) Sea salt (order here) and pepper 8 oz. mushrooms, sliced 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded 1 cup chicken bone ...

TUNA CAKES WITH JALAPEÑO AND CILANTRO  These yummy Tuna Cakes with Jalapeño and Cilantro are low on carbs and calories and big on flavor! These can also be gluten free and just as delicious if you swap out almond meal for the breadcrumbs. Plus, they are made from canned tuna so they’re totally budget friendly! I know you’re gonna love them as much as I do! If I really think about it, it’s not me so much but other “people” that live in my house that require, let’s say, more variety and really just substance. And by substance I guess I mean protein! I know I’ve mentioned Sanderino’s carnivorous ways previously. Basically it comes down to the simple fact that life is busy. Our time is very precious, and a bit elusive. We all need quick, easy, inexpensive, delicious, recipes to make for easy weeknight dinners. Like, for example, my Tuna Cakes. Think crab cakes but way cheaper, less seafoody and more tasty. These yummy Tuna Cakes with Jalapeño and Cilantro are low on carbs and calories ...
