Snack dinner

I know this isn’t technically cooking, but it is what I eat when it’s 9:30 PM and I don’t want to wake up starving in the morning because I didn’t eat dinner…

Wasa sourdough crackers (these things are amazing - they somehow never go stale in my pantry). One laughing cow wedge + seasoning of choice. One peanut butter + chocolate chip 🙌🏼

Tuna cakes

These were easy and tasty, and the lemon aioli was delicious. I just ate them on a salad with the aioli as the “dressing.” The website has the full nutrition breakdown, but each patty is 1 carb.

Recipe source: Keto Tuna Cakes

Drain tuna of all excess water then add the drained tuna into a large bowl made for mixing.

Dice 1/2 of an onion finely and chop up parsley if using fresh then add to mixing bowl with tuna

Then add in eggs, cheese, mayo, salt, garlic powder, pepper then combine.

Cook on medium heat in a non-stick pan with oil to help reduce sticking. Flip when one side has browned which takes about 3 minutes.

Cook the other side then remove from heat.

Then zest and juice a lemon over the mix. Give everything a good mix and you're ready to serve.

Spicy Chicken Salad

I’m eating this on sourdough Wasa crackers today because I’m out of my low carb tortillas. The app I use says it’s 3.4 carbs per serving (12 total servings and not counting the crackers/tortillas, etc)

1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 can hot Ro-tel diced tomatoes, drained (save the juice)

12 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar or monterey jack cheese

1 clove garlic minced

3 tsp ancho chili powder

1 tsp cumin

½ tsp cayenne pepper

½ tsp garlic salt

¼ cup cilantro, chopped

6 scallions white and green parts, chopped

Season the chicken breasts with salt, half of the cumin, and 1 tsp of the chili powder.

Add chicken to a large skillet and add about 1 cup of water plus juice from the drained Rotel.

Cover and cook on med-high heat until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Add more water if necessary.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove to a plate or cutting board, cool slightly and shred with 2 forks.

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, drained tomatoes, cheese, remaining spices, garlic, cilantro, and scallions. Mix together until well combined. Add cooled chicken and stir together.
