Healthy Garlic Scallops

Scrumptious garlic scallops recipe, seared to perfection in a cast iron pan and cooked in a healthy clarified butter for the ultimate seafood meal!

Lucky me, I also had all that clarified butter /Ghee from the other day, so really, the Universe aligned itself to make this happen.

Healthy scallops, you don’t even have to worry about eating too much!

Almond Flour Waffles – Gluten Free

Low carb waffles can be just as good or better than wheat flour ones. These delicious almond flour waffles can be made ahead and frozen for quick and easy breakfast.

Easy keto low carb almond flour waffles for a morning treat.

For this recipe, I modified a standard waffle recipe to use almond flour instead of regular wheat flour. The recipe came from an old Better Homes and Garden cookbook.

Sometimes modifying a standard recipe works out well without having to make too many other changes. And I didn’t change much to create these almond flour waffles from a regular cookbook recipe.

However, I end up increasing the number of eggs slightly when I used ground almonds instead of regular flour. I also found that adding a little xanthan gum adds a little elasticity like gluten.

But the xanthan gum isn’t necessary. It just gives these low carb waffles a texture that’s more like regular wheat flour ones with gluten.

Delicious low carb gluten free waffles made with almond flour are just as tasty as ones made with wheat flour. These waffles can be frozen for quick and easy breakfast.

Tips and Tricks for Making Adult Lunch Box Ideas

• The key to great lunches are keeping them simple, using real food, and making things that can be prepped ahead of time and stored in the fridge. All of these lunches hit all three of those things.
• Get some lunch boxes you love! I bought a set of Easy Lunch Boxes when my oldest went to kindergarten so that she could start packing her lunch and we still use and love them all of the time. When I’m packing my school kids’ lunches, I’ll often just make three more lunches for the little boys at home. They love eating out of these cute boxes and I love that the work is done. I’ve now bought a few more sets of these and we still love them.
• I like to prep lunches while I’m making dinner and already have out my knife and cutting board. You can set out to do a big meal prep session or you can prep a little as you go, it’s up to you.
• Have you started making no bake oatmeal bites for your lunches yet? We are OBSESSED with these little balls of goodness.
