One thing about doing a Low Carb or Keto diet especially when you need to be gluten free is that you do not get to enjoy things that you used to such as pies. 

To help combat that, here is a easy to make recipe that is Keto Friendly, Low Carb and it is also Gluten Free. Thisis an almond flour style pie crust and it almost resembles a graham cracker style pie crust in the way that it crumbles.

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  2. Grease a pie plate

Gluten Free, Keto Friendly, Low Carb, Almond Flour Pizza Crust 2 (Fathead)

 

Here is another recipe for almond flour style pizza crust. 

This one is different, yet good. It also makes this the 4th or 5th pizza crust recipe that I have on this site, which makes for some nice alternatives when you are wanting to not only do gluten free, but keto friendly / low carb as well. 

The setup for this is quite easy and it backes quite nice also. My wife likes this one probably the best next to the cream cheese pizza crust and my daughter seems to like it also. They both say that this one is not nearly as greasy as the other ones

 

This is one of the crusts that you will want to par bake first, and you will for sure want to bake it onto a sheet of parchment paper on your pizza pan to prevent it from sticking. In this bake, I ran out of parchment paper and used tin-foil but the crust still stuck even though that I fully greased the tin-foil first. 

 

Ingredients:

Directions: 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 to 375 degrees
  2. Add all the ingredients into a bowl.
  3. Using a handheld mixer mix up the ingredients until it starts to resemble dough. 
  4. Get out a 14 or 16 inch pizza pan and line it with parchment paper
  5. Place the dough on top of the parchment paper and then place some clear plastic wrap on top to prevent sticking
  6. Press out the dough using your hands with the clear plastic wrap on top of the dough still
  7. Once the dough is in the shape that you want it to be in, remove the clear plastic wrap and bake it in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes  or so. 
  8. Use your favorite pizza sauce and make your pizza. My favorite sauce is ranch dressing




Gluten Free, Keto Friendly, Low Carb, barbeque sauce

 

Here is a farily easy recipe to make for a Gluten Free, Keto Friendly, Low Carb Barbeque sauce. For Keto Friendly and Low Carb you will want to use this sparingly because tomatoes doe have sugar in them, so it could kick you out of ketosis or set you back a bit if you use too much. 

I would rather make my own sauces if I can, just because I know what goes into them and I have control over how they taste. 

If I want something spicy, I can make it that way and it has a definate bite to it even if I leave out the hot sauce. 

For the barbeque sauce

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a medium pot  add all the ingredients and stir well to mix. 
  2. Put on medium to high heat until it starts to boil, then turn down the heat to a simmer. 
  3. Simmer , while stirring every few minutes until this reduces by half.

Gluten Free, Keto Friendly, Buttermilk

Need buttermilk but do not want to run to the store?

Need buttermilk, but there is none where you are at?

Did you kno that you can make mock buttermilk?

 

Buttermilk is the liquid left over after making butter, so it is somewhat of a curdled high fat milk product. 

All you need to make it is just a few ingredients. 

 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of heavy cream (if you want to use a lower fat milk you can, but then it will not be keto friendly)
  • 1 Tbsp of vinegar or 1 Tbsp of Lemon Juice. 

Directions:

  1. Mix the cream and the vinegar or the lemon juice together for a few seconds and then let it sit for about a minute or so. It should thicken up a bit and now you have buttermilk that you can use without having to run to the store
