Kathy's Cauliflower-Cheddar Soup

Maybe some of the other recipes are keto-friendly, but I wouldn't know.  But this one has a header that says, "Cauliflower  is a versatile vegetable that can be eaten on the keto diet in many recipes - like this creamy soup.  Cauliflower is an excellent source of vitamins C and K, omega-3 fatty acids, and manganese, which can help support digestion, improve brain function, and promote a healthy heart.  Choose a snowy white head of cauliflower with crisp green leaves and absolutely no brown spots."

Cauliflower-Cheddar Soup
from Kathy McFarland

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
1/4 sweet onion, chopped
1 head cauliflower, chopped
4 cups Herbed Chicken Stock (the recipe is included in the book, so just do your best!)
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup heavy cream
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Put a large stockpot over medium heat and add the butter.

Saute the onion and cauliflower until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Add the chicken stock and nutmeg to the pan and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, about 15 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the cream, and puree the soup with an immersion blender or food processor until smooth.

Season the soup with salt and pepper and serve topped with the Cheddar cheese.

Serves 8.  Per serving: cal: 227, fat: 21g, prot: 8g, carbs: 4g, fiber: 2g; fat 81%, protein 12%, carb 9%

Melissa's Pesto Apple Pizzas

At first glance, the ingredients on these wee pizzas looked like a strange combination to me.  At first bite, I just knew it tasted delicious! Melissa wrote:  We love this meal because it tasted great, takes minutes to make, and is easily replaced with normal pizza toppings over English muffins for little ones with less creative palates. Substitute wheat English muffins and lean ground turkey for a healthier and equally yummy option! Pesto Apple Pizzas from Melissa Palmer Ingredients 1 pkg.  English muffins 1 lb. ground beef 2 green apples pesto sauce Mozzarella cheese chopped walnuts, optional Directions Cook the ground beef.  Slice the apples into long, thin slices.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Lay out English muffin halves on a baking sheet.  Layer apple slices, then ground beef.  Top with pesto, cheese, and nuts.  Bake 7-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and browning.
