Place the Potatoes and a pinch of Salt into a pot of cold water. Cover and bring to a boil. Remove the cover and boil for 10-12 minutes, until you can stab easily with a fork. While the Potatoes are going, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the Ground Beef, Onion, Garlic, and a pinch of Salt and Pepper to the skillet and cook, breaking up the meat until it’s browned. Add the veggies to the meat and saute. 1/4 c of butter goes into the meat mixture. Add in Worchestershire Sauce and Red Wine.

Can I make this recipe Keto?
To make this Cottage Pie Keto, you would need to substitute the potatoes for mashed celery root or mashed cauliflower. You also need to change the gluten free flour for a lower carb flour choice. Some options are coconut flour, tapioca starch, or arrowroot flour. Watch your vegetable carbs as well. I would also use a low carb wine. Here are my recommendations.

Perfect for Saint Patrick's Day or any day! If you want to make it Shepherd's Pie then sub the beef for lamb! So yummy and easy to make! Ingredients

What is a pork crown roast? A pork crown roast is a bone in pork loin that is not cut apart to form individual pork chops. It is cut partway through to allow it to form a circle. You cut between the chops and then tie the ends together. This smoked pork crown roast is super easy to make but I always feel fancy serving it! How long does it take to smoke? I had 2 frenched pork racks that were about 8 ribs each (total of 16) and it took a total time of 3 1/2 hours to smoke. We started at 225 degrees F then cranked it up to 450 degrees F for the last 45 min-1 hour. Just make sure to watch your thermometer in the meat as to not overcook it. Can I cook it in the oven? Yes! If you do not have a smoker, you can bake it in the oven. Bake it at 350 degrees until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. This can take about 25 minutes per pound. Here’s what I served it with: I stuffed the smoked pork crown roast with my keto cornbread stuffing. It turned out so fantastic! You could use a traditional stuffing as well if you are not eating keto. I also served it with some Cauliflower Mash and a Harvest Salad. You will also need to make the Citrus Dry Brine to rub on the roast. Here are some items that will make cooking this smoked crown roast easier:I used this pan to smoke the pork crown roast in the smoker. I love it because it’s made for a grill or smoker and it was super easy to clean! If you are looking for an awesome wireless meat thermometer, this is the one! I have been using my Meater Thermometer for about a year now and I really love it! You can set what you are cooking on the app on your phone! Works great! They now have a multiple pack which is great if you are cooking steaks and people want it at different finished temperatures. Pin This Now and Make it Later!

This eggnog is creamy and delicious! It is gluten free and keto! It is perfect for the holidays!
What is eggnog?
Eggnog is a creamy and delicious custard drink that originated in the UK. It is called posset there. It is traditionally a Christmas drink because some people like to serve it warm and around the holidays. You can drink it cold or hot. I love to make eggnog lattes with this recipe! Why make homemade eggnog instead of store bought? Store bought eggnog has more sugar than homemade keto eggnog. I like that you can control the amount of sweetener you add to this recipe. I also find homemade eggnog more flavorful and creamier. If you are not living a keto lifestyle, you can make this recipe using sugar. What alcohol is used in eggnog? Most people add rum, spiced rum, brandy, or bourbon to their eggnog. I love it without alcohol as well! Especially since I like it in my coffee in the morning! Haha! In our family, when you add alcohol especially Irish cream to your coffee it’s called Grandma’s Special Coffee Creamer! That’s a whole other story! This recipe helps me stay living the keto lifestyle and enjoying a special treat this time of the year! Pin Me! Save Me! Make me!
Here’s the ingredients for gluten free and keto eggnog:
To make this gluten free and keto eggnog, you will need: Egg yolks- I save the whites to add to a frittata. Swerve, Monkfruit, Erythritol, or your favorite low carb sweetener unsweetened almond milk- I made mine in my almond cow heavy whipping cream nutmeg- I used a whole one that I grated, but ground is fine too! Vanilla Extract Cinnamon Star Anise, Cinnamon Sticks, Grated Nutmeg for garnish Here’s how to whip up this gluten free and keto eggnog! Crack and separate your eggs into yolks and whites. Put the whites in a container and refrigerate them for later. Whisk the egg yolks. Add in the low carb sweetener. Continue to whisk until the eggs are light and slightly fluffy. Add almond milk, heavy cream, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a saucepan over medium heat. Stir. Continue to stir so the mixture doesn’t burn. Once it reaches a simmer, turn the heat to low. Ladle some of the hot mixture into the egg mixture while whisking it so you can temper the egg mixture. (you don’t want to scramble the eggs) Do a few rounds of adding and whisking. Pour the rest of the egg mixture back into the pan and continue to whisk. The mixture will thicken. Add your vanilla and continue to whisk. Remove from heat. If you wish to add alcohol to the gluten free and keto eggnog do so now. Whisk to combine it all together. Serve warm now or pour it into a container to cool. Here is the container I use. Garnish with your favorite cinnamon stick, star anise or more grated nutmeg. Enjoy! *The eggnog will last for one week in the refrigerator.

Gluten Free-Keto Lamb Crown Roast is a delicious easy to make dish that looks fancy!
Our family loves lamb! It is so delicious and easy to make. I always make it for the holidays and sometimes on a random Tuesday! lol!
What is a Crown Roast? A lamb crown roast is two rib roasts that have been french cut, which means having the meat trimmed off of the tips of the bone and then tied together in a circle. What do I need to make this recipe? You will need the following items and ingredients to make this recipe: A bundt pan Meat twine Two racks of lamb rib roast Herbs De Province Olive Oil S & P And an oven to cook them in How do I make this Lamb Crown Roast? The first thing to do is cut your lamb roast so it will lay in a circle. You can see how to do this in the video below. Season your roast with Olive oil, S&P as well as Herbs de Province. Then you are going to tie the lamb crown roasts together into a circle. I find this easy to do by putting it into a bundt pan! I use meat twine to tie the two roasts together. Bake the lamb in an oven until it reaches 135 degrees internal temperature. I personally do not like an overcooked lamb. I love my MEATER thermometer to monitor the temperatures of meat while I cook it. If you order something from my links I will get a small commission. Thank you! Here are my policies and disclosures. Once it reaches 135 degrees remove it from the oven and cover it with foil to rest for about 15 minutes. Slice it between the ribs and it’s ready to serve! YUMMMMMM!!!!!! Here are a few ideas of what to serve with your Lamb Crown Roast!

Gluten Free Vinarterta is an Icelandic layered cake. My Grandma would make it for Christmas and other celebrations and I looked forward to it every year!
What is Vinarterta?
Vinarterta is an Icelandic Celebration cake. It is made of flaky sugar cookie-like layers with a sweet prune filling. It is covered in icing glaze and sprinkles. This is how my family always made it, however, I have found that there are many different variations of this cake! Some use alcohol in the filling! Is it a fruit cake? My family’s version of this cake has a delicious sweet prune filling, so I guess it could be called a fruit cake. Although I am not a fan of traditional fruit cakes, I love this one! Don’t let the word prunes dissuade you from trying this Icelandic Delicacy! My Grandma’s Recipe from our family cookbook: My Grandma did not make a gluten free version of Vinarterta so I adapted her recipe to suit my cravings!
This is my Grandma Eyjolena Aline Bjarnason Ivan and Me
I am so thankful that my Auntie Hazel sent me these recipes! She also told me of a little cheat if you are in a time crunch and really need some Gluten Free Vinarterta! You can substitute sugar cookie dough for the layers. I have made it using a gluten free sugar cookie mix and adding in a little almond extract and they turned out fantastically!
What ingredients do I need to make this gluten free Vinarterta?
If you are going to make the cheat version of the sugar cookie, you will need a package of gluten free sugar cookie mix. Follow the directions on the package and then skip to the filling section :) To make them from scratch here are the ingredients: 1 1/2 Cups White Sugar 1 Cup Butter 3 Eggs 1/2 Cup Milk 1 Tsp Almond extract 1 Tsp Vanilla 5 Cups Gluten Free Flour Mix- such as Cup for Cup or similar. 4 Tsp Baking Powder 1 Pinch Salt Here’s how to make the cookie layers:
Here’s how to make the prune filling: If you are making the gluten free Vinarterta using sugar cookies, use 1/2 of this recipe. You will need: 2 lbs Prunes- pitted 2 1/2 Cups Sugar Water- 2 Cups 1 TSP Cardamon 1 TSP Vanilla
Here’s how to make the icing: Make a simple icing out of confectioners sugar and water with almond extract in it. 2 Cups Confectioners Sugar 2 TBSP water 1 TSP Almond Extract
Now it’s time to put the gluten free vinarterta together! I think this cake is actually better eaten the day after you make it! I love how the cookie layers soften into the sweet prune filling! It is perfect with coffee or tea IMO! If you like this recipe you might also like these: Gluten Free Boozy Cake Balls Gluten Free Black Forrest Cake Pin me now make this gluten free vinarterta later!
