Reuben pizza has to be one of my favorite pizza's to make as I like reuben's and it seems to be easier to make this shortly after St.Patricks day as there is a chance that you may have some extra corned beef left. The best part about this is that it is low carb, gluten free and keto friendly.
Even if you do not have any corned beef left over, this is a good excuse to make some corned beef so you can either make a few pizza's or you can make other dishes that use corned beef for another night.
If you do not have any corned beef in the fridge that is cooked, you can buy a cooks corned beef briskets and cook it in your slow cooker for about 8 hours on low. If you want to make this gluten free, do not use the spice packet that comes with the brisket. Instead of cooking this in beer, you will want to cook it in just water only
After the corned beef is cooked, let it cool and either shred it into small pieces or cut it up into small pieces.
Ingredients:

• Either make the Cream Cheese Pizza Crust or make another one that is Keto friendly or one that is Gluten Free
• Make some Thousand Island Dressing
• 8 ounces of shredded Swiss cheese
• 8 or so ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese
• 12 ounces of Franks Sauerkraut or some other gluten free Sauerkraut, drained

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
Once you have the pizza crust of choice, spread the thousand island dressing on the pizza crust for the sauce. Add a few ounces of swiss cheese and then a bit of mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce. Add 2 - 3 cups of the shredded or cut up corned beef to the pizza, spread out. Add the sauerkraut to the top of the pizza and then add the rest of the Swiss cheese and add any more mozzarella cheese that you see fit.
Cook in the oven for about 20 minutes or so.

Here is a recipe for Thousand Island dressing that is not only Gluten Free, low carb but it is also Keto Friendly. This works as a great substitution to buying store bought as you have some more control as to what goes into this and you also do not have to worry about the possibility of getting sick off of it if you have celiac disease.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup Mayo
• 1/3 cup sour cream (Daisy sour cream is Gluten Free)
• ¼ cup walden Farms Ketchup or some other gluten free, sugar free ketchup
• 2 tablespoons sugar-free relish
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions:
In a mixing bowl add all the ingredients and mix with a wire wisk

Here is something that I have and is something that is nice to have that you can mount on the rail of your rifle / shotgun if you want to have a light source that wont break the bank.
I will do a video of the flashlight that I use on a different day to which I may add to this post or do another post on the flashlight itself. The flashlight mount that I use is nice as you can use different flashlights with this mount, to which I had purchased off of Amazon. The mount is OFF SET TACTICAL Weapon Mount For Olight M20/M21/M30, Fenix TK11, TK12, TA21, JETBeam M1X/M2S/JET-III M/RRT-1/RRT-2 and many more 1" Diameter size Flashlight to which it is under $5.00. This you can add and mount any flashlight that you can buy from any store, but I had mounted a flashlight that is extremely bright and it can also be focused.

If anyone buys one of the Samsung Gear Live smart watch (they are the android smart watch) off of Amazon or other retailer and you find that some apps do not work on it, such as changing the watch face or that WiFi does not work, or anything does not work on it. The reason that I found at least with mine is that the ones that were sold were "developer" editions of the watch
Since these were in developer mode, this prevented from most apps working correctly and it also prevented the Android OS from updating to the latest version of the Android OS that Samsung released for this watch (mine has Android 6.01 on it), it is not just your watch and it is not you.
There are some steps that you need to do to remove the developer edition of the watch. If you are used to "rooting" an android phone, this should be no issue for you. I have rooted a few so far, so I was able to go thru the steps quite easily. I had found all the steps on a Reddit page, after some searching as to why nothing worked for it.
Head over to this reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidWear/comments/2rgx1p/no_update_on_gear_live/

After I was able to remove the "developer" edition of Android from the watch and then update it, the watch has worked perfectly fine for me. In another post I will do some tricks that I will use my watch for.

Patrick Henry, one of the founding fathers of the United States was a man that has some amazing quotes and has written some very powerful writings.
One of his quotes

"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."

A lot of people will use the term "I have the constitutional rights" or "they have the constitutional right to..". Technically that is false, nobody has a constitutional right to anything. The constitution was put in place not do define what the rights of the people have,but what the Government cannot do. Government uses delegated power, and that power comes from the people. Government just does not invent what it can and cannot do, the power had to come from somewhere.
By reading the federalist and the anti-federalist papers, this becomes very evident. As Thomas Jefferson said "I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: That "all powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people." [X Amendment] To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specifically drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition."

I know the title of this post says Patrick Henry and his quotes, and yet I quoted Thomas Jefferson, it helps illustrates the point that Patrick Henry makes.
Another really good quote that he has is "I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging the future but by the past." What this quote is saying is that history always repeats itself. If you want to see what the future holds, just look into the past as governments and people will keep making the same mistakes that past generations had made. As Edmund Burke wrote "Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it."

Here is a cake that is not only Gluten Free (as long as you get the Gluten Free ingredients of course) but it is also low carb and keto friendly.
I dont have any photos or a video of this yet, but I will be making a video of this soon, and it is very easy to make. It does not rise like a traditional cake will as there is no yeast in this, but it is still good. I am not a big coconut fan at all, and I have no problem eating this

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup coconut flour (may want to sift it)
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 5 eggs, save 3 whites on the side
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup Splenda, sucralose, stevia or Erythritol
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Directions In a bowl , mix the coconut flour, salt, baking soda, and splenda (sucralose or stevia). Mix until no clumps are left. Combine the olive oil, vanilla extract, butter, 3 eggs yolks and 2 eggs until well blended. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients.
Beat the remaining egg whites with a Kitchen Aid Mixer or a handheld mixer into soft peaks and gently blend them into the batter.
Grease an 8 inch cake pan
Place a piece of parchment paper in the bottom
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 30 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool 10 minutes before taking it out of the pan. Let it cool for 1 hour before frosting it.

Frosting : 

• 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream chilled
• 8 oz. neufchatel cheese softened
• 1/2 cup Splenda, sucralose or stevia
• 3 tsp vanilla extract

Whip the cream until stiff. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until very smooth, then beat in the Splenda and vanilla. Combine and mix lightly.

Here is a pretty generic all purpose flour recipe that is gluten free that you can use.
The part that surprises me the most with this recipe, that just does not seem to fit in, but actually makes the recipe work the best is the dry milk. I would have never imagined that dry milk would either make or break a flour recipe, but this proved me wrong, especially with a recipe that I have for biscuits, to which the dry milk completely makes the recipe

• 4 ½ cups plus 1/3 cup white rice flour
• 1 2/3 cups brown rice flour
• 1 1/3 cups potato starch (NOT potato flour!)
• ¾ cuptapioca starch
• ¼ cupnonfat dry milk
• 1 tsp xantham gum

Using a wire wisk all ingredients in mixing bowl until combined. Transfer to air tight container and refrigerate for up to 3 months.

Here is a  low carb, keto friendly, gluten free alfredo sauce.
If you are a recent celiac, you may want to take a lactaid tablet before you use this as some people who have celiac find out that they are temporarily lactose intolerant
This does not take too long to make, just takes a bit of patience and need to make sure that the cream does not burn

Ingredients:

• 4-5 cloves of garlic
• 5 cups of heavy whipping cream
• 8 ounces of cream cheese
• 1 cup of grated Parmesean Cheese
• 1 Tbsp of butter

In a medium pan melt the butter and mince the garlic and add to the pan.Cook over medium heat for just a little bit as you dont want to burn the garlic. Once the aroma of the garlic starts to come out (will be about a minute), add the cream to the pan. Cook the cream on medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, making sure that the cream does not boil. Add the cream cheese and the Parmesan cheese to the pan and you can either use a handheld mixer , a wire wisk or a hand blender / immersion blender to blend the ingredients together. If it is not the consistency that you want, let it simmer for 20 minutes or so, stirring the cream every few minutes.

This works great with either gluten free noodles, or if you do not want the carbs you can use this as a sauce with cooked chicken.

Here is a recipe for Almond Flour bread, which is Low carb, Keto friendly and if you use the correct ingredients it can also be Gluten Free bread as well.
In this recipe, I used blanched almond flour and the blanched almond flour is a lot better than the un-blanched flour.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups Almond Flour
• 6 eggs seperated
• 1/4 - 1/2 tsp Cream of tartar
• 3-4 tsp Baking Powder
• 4 or so Tbsp of butter

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
• Oil a 8x4 inch loaf pan
• Take the almond flour and put it into a Ninja blender or a food processor
• Then add the Baking Powder and the butter.
• Blend for a bit until it becomes well combined.
• add the Cream of tartar to the egg whites
• Using a Kitchen Aid Mixer or a handheld mixer beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
• Add 1/4 to 1/3 of the egg whites to the dough and mix for a while.
• Remove the dough into a mixing bowl using a rubber spatula
• Fold the remainder of the egg whites into the bread dough using the rubber spatula
• Add the dough mixture to the greased 8x4 inch loaf pan and put into the oven for 30 minutes
• Take the bread out of the oven and use a toothpick to the center to make sure that it is done (by verifying that it comes out dry).
• Let cool for a few minutes then remove from the loaf pan and cut.

Here is a video of all of this:

Here is a recipe for Almond Flour bread, which is low carb, Keto friendly and if you use the correct ingredients it can also be Gluten Free bread as well.
In this recipe, I used un-blanched almond flour and the un-blanched almond flour almost had a bitterness to it that I really did not like, but those that like to use un-blanched almond flour may really like this recipe

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups Almond Flour
• 6 eggs seperated
• 1/4 - 1/2 tsp Cream of tartar
• 3-4 tsp Baking Powder
• 4 or so Tbsp of butter

Directions:

• Take the almond flour and put it into a Ninja blender or a food processor
• Then add the Baking Powder and the butter.
• Blend for a bit until it becomes well combined.
• add the Cream of tartar to the egg whites
• Using a Kitchen Aid Mixer or a handheld mixer beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
• Add 1/4 to 1/3 of the egg whites to the dough and mix for a while.
• Remove the dough into a mixing bowl using a rubber spatula
• Fold the remainder of the egg whites into the bread dough using the rubber spatula
• Add the dough mixture to the greased 8x4 inch loaf pan and put into the oven for 30 minutes
• Take the bread out of the oven and use a toothpick to the center to make sure that it is done (by verifying that it comes out dry).
• Let cool for a few minutes then remove from the loaf pan and cut.

Here is a video of all of this:

I do have an updated version of this that uses Blanched almond flour, and in my opinion it is much better
