Easy Chicken Fajitas 
Ingredients

    1 teaspoon pure chile powder
    1 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon onion powder
    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 tablespoon cornstarch
    1/4 cup water
    3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    1 whole skinless, boneless chicken breast (about 1 pound), cut into 1/2-inch strips
    1 green bell pepper—cored, seeded and cut into thin strips
    1 medium onion, thinly sliced
    2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus lime wedges for serving
    8 flour tortillas, warmed in the microwave
    Shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, salsa and sour cream, for serving

    In a resealable plastic bag, combine the chile powder with the salt, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, cornstarch, water and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the chicken, bell pepper and onion, seal and knead gently to coat. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
    Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet until shimmering. Empty the contents of the bag into the skillet and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice.
    Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a large bowl and serve with the warmed tortillas, lettuce, cheese, salsa, sour cream and lime wedges.

How to Bake Chicken Breasts in Barbeque Sauce
Chicken breasts and legs covered in barbecue sauce. Photo Credit pedrosala/iStock/Getty Images

Baked chicken breasts with barbecue sauce are a simple main course you can cook quickly and easily, for a large gathering or a small family meal. For the healthiest preparation, use skinless chicken breasts. The fat in the skin keep the meat moist when cooked alone, but it isn't needed if you cover the chicken with barbecue sauce. Also, use homemade or no-sugar-added barbecue sauce when possible.
Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Step 2

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
Step 3

Brush with the barbecue sauce.
Step 4

Sprinkle with sea salt or kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 5

Spray the bottom of a large baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the dish, leaving about a 1/2 of space between each.
Step 6

Bake on the middle rack, without opening the oven door, for 30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer reads at least 165 F when inserted halfway into the thickest part of a breast.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Yield: About 9 fajitas

Ingredients

    2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves
    1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes with green chilies
    1 red, orange and green bell pepper, julienned
    1 large yellow onion, halved and sliced
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    2 1/2 tsp chili powder
    2 tsp ground cumin

    For serving:
    Flour tortillas, sour cream, cilantro, salsa, guacamole, monterrey jack or cheddar cheese

    Pour half of the canned tomatoes into the bottom of a slow cooker and spread into an even layer. Top with half of the peppers and half of the onions. Sprinkle garlic in. Top with chicken breasts.
    In a bowl whisk together chili powder, cumin, paprika, coriander, salt and pepper. Evenly sprinkle half of the seasoning over chicken breasts then flip chicken and sprinkle in remainder. Top with remaining half of the tomatoes, then layer in remaining peppers and onions.
    Cover and cook on HIGH heat 3 - 4 hours or low heat 6 - 8 hours, until chicken has cooked through and veggies are tender (note that if you want to be able to cut chicken into strips cook more near lesser time on HIGH or LOW, otherwise it will probably just shred, which is also fine).

In a small bowl whisk together lime juice and honey and add to slow cooker along with chicken and season with additional salt to taste if desired. Gently toss.

Recipe By:Chef John
"The biggest myth in all of American cookery is the belief that a juicy, perfectly cooked turkey is difficult for the novice cook to achieve. One of the secrets to a moist, delicious, and beautiful turkey is spreading butter under the skin. You can season the butter any way you want; the possibilities are endless."
Ingredients

    2 tablespoons kosher salt
    1 tablespoon ground black pepper
    1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
    1 (12 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets reserved
    2 onions, coarsely chopped
    3 ribs celery, coarsely chopped
    2 carrots, coarsely chopped
    3 sprigs fresh rosemary
    1/2 bunch fresh sage
    1/2 cup butter

    1 bay leaf
    6 cups water
    2 tablespoons turkey fat
    1 tablespoon butter
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    3 cups turkey pan drippings
    1/4 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
    salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

    Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
    Mix 2 tablespoons salt, and 1 tablespoon pepper, and poultry seasoning in a small bowl. Tuck turkey wings under the bird, and season cavity with about 1 tablespoon of the poultry seasoning mixture. Reserve remaining poultry seasoning mix.
    Toss the onion, celery, and carrots together in a bowl. Stuff about 1/2 cup of the vegetable mixture, rosemary sprigs, and 1/2 bunch sage into the cavity of the turkey. Tie legs together with kitchen string. Loosen the skin on top of the turkey breast using fingers or a small spatula. Place about 2 tablespoons butter under the skin and spread evenly. Spread the remaining butter (about 2 tablespoons) all over the outside of the skin. Sprinkle the outside of the turkey with the remaining poultry seasoning mix.
    Spread the remaining onion, celery, and carrots into a large roasting pan. Place the turkey on top of the vegetables. Fill the pan with about 1/2 inch of water. Arrange a sheet of aluminum foil over the breast of the turkey.
    Roast the turkey in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 3 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C). Remove the foil during the last hour of cooking. Baste the turkey with the pan juices.
    While the turkey is roasting, make stock: place neck, heart, and gizzards in a saucepan with the bay leaf and water. Simmer over medium heat for 2 hours. Strain the turkey giblets from the stock, and discard giblets. There should be at least 4 cups of stock.
    Remove the turkey from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Pour the pan juices, about 3 cups, into a saucepan and set aside. Skim off the turkey fat from the pan juices, reserving about 2 tablespoons.
    Heat 2 tablespoons of the turkey fat and 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Transfer the onion from the roasting pan into the skillet. Cook and stir until the onion is browned, about 5 minutes, then stir in the flour. Continue to cook and stir for about 5 minutes more; whisk in 4 cups of the skimmed turkey stock and the reserved pan juices until smooth; skim off any foam. Stir in the balsamic vinegar. Simmer until the gravy is thickened, whisking constantly, about 10 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped sage, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.

    Brush glaze over ham, and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Baste ham every 10 to 15 minutes with the honey glaze. During the last 4 to 5 minutes of baking, turn on broiler to caramelize the glaze. Remove from oven, and let sit a few minutes before serving.

RED LENTILS Soup

Red lentils are inexpensive but very nutritious. They are a great source of fiber, protein, iron and much more. They are very easy to prepare. If you are not familiar with or have not yet made these a staple, I encourage you to get started now. You'll be pleased you did!

This is my recipe for red lentil soup I made last night. For under $2.50, this recipe makes six servings.

Ingredients

1/2 cup red lentils (30¢)

1 large or 2 medium onions (31¢)

2-4 cloves of garlic (11¢)

1 carrot (16¢)

1 potato (15¢)

1 stalk of celery (16¢)

1 can of diced tomatoes (97¢)

1/2 to 1 tsp red pepper flakes

1 to 2 tsp of salt

1 to 2 tbsp of oil (15¢)

2 cups of water

Instructions

Rinse the red lentils in cold water until clear. (If you have extra time, then let the lentils sit in cold water for 30 minutes to soak - this softens them up and reduces cooking time.)

Dice onions. Mince garlic. Finely slice celery. Combine and set aside.

Wash (and optionally peel) carrot and potato. Shred or dice carrot and potato.

Heat oil in pot.

Add red pepper flakes and sauté for about two minutes. Keep stirring.

Add onions, garlic and celery and sauté until softened; about three to four minutes. Keep stirring.

Add carrots and potato and sauté until softened; about three to four minutes if you shredded the veggies and longer if diced. Keep stirring.

Add can of tomatoes. Add red lentils and water. Stir to combine.

Turn heat on high until boiling. Reduce heat, cover pot and simmer for about 20 minutes.

Add salt and stir.

Optional: I like a smooth soup so I give it a whizz with an immersion blender. Then I add half a package of frozen spinach (defrosted and heated in microwave while soup is cooking, extra cost is 50¢) and combine.

Enjoy your soup! Eat on it's own or serve with rice or bread. There will be leftovers (which will taste even better the next day!).

Top: Basic Keto Bread

Ingredients⁣
•1 1/2 Cup Almond Flour⁣
•4 Large Eggs⁣
•5 Tbsp Unsalted Butter⁣
•1 tablespoon Erythritol(optional)⁣ {I typically use 1tsp as I do not like it sweet}
•3 tsp Baking Powder⁣
⁣
Instructions⁣
-Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl⁣
-Whisk in the eggs⁣
-Melt butter, add to mixture and whisk⁣
-Divide the mixture equally into 2 small bread pans (5.5"x3.5")
-Bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees (varies by oven, watch the first time)⁣
-Let cool on a wire rack⁣

Bottom: MacFatNut Bread (aka Macadamia Nut Fat Bread)

**this is a recipe that I found here a while back with some modifications**

Also, this recipe turns out SO much better when you use the ingredients by weight (grams)

5 large eggs (50g each)

1 cup (150g) raw whole Macadamia Nuts made into butter

1 cup (220g) Coconut butter (coconut manana) soften or melted, but not HOT

1/2 teaspoon sea salt (3g)

2 tablespoons lemon juice (30ml)

1 rounded teaspoon baking soda (6g)

1-8 1/2" x 4" loaf pan or (2) 5.5"x3.5" small loaf pans

Place the Macadamia nuts into a large food processor and process on high to achieve a part butter, part chunky nut meal (about 45 seconds)

While still running the processor, drop one egg down the chute and wait for the sound to stabilize to a smooth sound (about 20-30 seconds). Then repeat with the remaining 4 eggs.

Turn off the processor and take a spatula and scrape the walls and bottom edges of the processor bowl to make sure that no large chunks are stuck and it is well mixed. Turn processor back on and slowly add soften coconut butter (manana), and sea salt. Turn it on again and let the added ingredients incorporate. When it's well mixed (about 1/2 a minute), pour the lemon juice down the chute and then the baking soda. Mix for a few more seconds.

Place the batter in a greased (I use coconut oil) bread pan(s). Bake at 350' for 35 minutes. (Shorten the baking time when using the doughnut or mini challah pan.) When it's cool enough to handle, remove it from the bread pan and let it completely cool on a cake rack.

Both are beyond delicious and when I really want bread, these hit the spot! Enjoy!!

RED ONION  MARINADE
DESCRIPTION
Recipe heavily inspired by No Crumbs Left, who is one of my favorite food bloggers to follow!

SCALE
1x
2x
3x
INGREDIENTS
1 medium red onion, sliced 1/4″ thick (I love using my mandoline)
3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the sliced onions in a No Crumbs Left Marinated Onion Bowl. (I highly recommend getting a Marinated Onion Bowl! Holds the onions perfectly, has a pour spout so you can easily pour the onion marinade, and is such a gorgeous piece of pottery!)

In a measuring cup, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano and salt. Stir to combine.
Pour the marinade over the onions. All the onions should be covered.
Let it sit on your counter for at least 12 hours.
Will keep for at least 5 days on the counter.
NOTES
I don’t recommend storing these in the refrigerator. The oil solidifies. If you’re getting past the 5 days, you could store in a mason jar and refrigerate. You’ll just have to bring them to room temperature when you want to eat them again.

These are really best with red onions, but you could use a yellow onion if that’s all you have.

Dried oregano is much better than fresh oregano for these onions

You don’t want to reuse the marinade. It gets too potent of an onion flavor. You’ll want to start with a fresh marinade each time you make them.

Homemade sugar-free dark chocolate bar, cheaper than store-bought without the carbs!
Prep Time10 mins
freezing time10 mins
Total Time20 mins
Course: Snack
Cuisine: American
Servings: 12 servings (4 chocolate squares)
Calories: 81.2kcal
Author: Carine Claudepierre
Ingredients 

    4.5 oz Cocoa Butter
    1 tablespoon Sugar-free Powdered Sweetener powdered erythrtitol or allulose
    1/2 teaspoon Chocoate-flavored Stevia Drops or vanilla stevia drops
    1/4 teaspoon Salt
    1.4 oz Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (1/3 cup)

Instructions

    Place 2 chocolate bar silicone molds on a flat board or plate. I recommend placing a piece of parchment paper between the mold and the plate. This prevents the silicone mold from sticking to the plate when you freeze the bar later in the recipe. Set aside.
    In a small saucepan, under medium heat, melt the cocoa butter.
    When fully melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in stevia drops, powdered sweetener (not crystal! you don't want bits in your chocolate), and salt.
    Return to medium heat until cocoa butter slightly boils and reaches 250°F (121°C), it's the temperature at which the erythritol will dissolve and prevents a gritty texture in your chocolate.
    Remove from heat and stir in unsweetened cocoa powder.
    Stir quickly and immediately transfer the liquid into the 2 silicone mold to fill them up to the top. Working quickly prevents the cocoa powder and cocoa butter from separating and creates the most consistent bars.
    Freeze 10 minutes or until the chocolate bars are hard and fully set
    Remove from the freezer, flip over the chocolate mold onto a flat surface and peel off the mold from the bar to release.
    Store the chocolate bars in the fridge in an airtight box or at room temperature. The melting point of cocoa butter is 93°F (34°C), so if your house is not that warm, the chocolate bars won't melt in the pantry. 

No silicone mold?

    You can pour the chocolate mixture into a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan (halve the recipe first, freeze, release, then repeat as the recipe makes 2 chocolate bars). Make sure you cover the pan with parchment paper, grease the paper with oil spray.

Keto chocolate toppings

    Before freezing the bars, you can add some crunchy keto toppings like sliced/chopped almonds, toasted coconut flakes, chopped brazil nuts, pecan, and freeze-dried raspberries.

Notes
One chocolate bar has 24 chocolate squares. This recipe makes 2 chocolate bars, so 48 chocolate squares. Serving size is 4 squares. Therefore one chocolate bar has 6 servings, 12 serving for the whole recipe. 
I recommend using this  silicone chocolate mold   for best result (affiliate link)

Greek Chicken marinade
a few hours before you cook the chicken, drown it in lemon juice (actual lemons, not the bottled stuff), cover it with really good amount of dry oregano. If you have some greek seasoning, sprinkle that over it too, I use Nostimini but I suspect that its a uniquely australian/greek culture thing. Add a bunch of salt. Leave it in the fridge for a while, in a container.
 Over the charcoal I dust it with salt to help crisp it up a little. Its amazing. For 33 wings (maximum i can fit on the rotisserie) I will use about 5 whole lemons.
