Family Dinner Favorite: Delicious Keto / Paleo Cauliflower Noodle Lasagna Recipe

Oh YUM cauliflower, you transform into absolute low-carb deliciousness.   I tell you - I whipped out a pan of this lasagna and my clan (which only consisted of four on this particular night) cleaned the entire dish. They had NO IDEA what the noodles were made of. They could tell they were different - but they really liked it. 

If you are making up your own sauce - start that first so it can be simmering to perfection while the noodles are being created. If you are looking for a yummy Paleo Tomato Sauce  Rao's is an excellent option.

SAUCE: 

• Rao's Tomato sauce  15oz jar
• 1 lb ground Italian Sausage
• 1/2 yellow onion chopped
• 1/2 green bell pepper chopped
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• salt/pepper to taste

I  browned Italian sausage, then added sauteed onion, green bell pepper until soft, added some minced garlic, oregano, salt & pepper, then add sauce. 

Next you will want to make the cauliflower lasagna noodles. These are so simple and yummy. I found this TERRIFIC recipe on The Iron You Blog. He has an entire recipe consisting of a delicious bolognese and bechamel sauce. This time around I just stuck with his noodle recipe. YUM! Trust me, I will be returning to try the other options.

Wake me up, I must be dreaming... Keto Bagels

Delicious, chewy, toasted to perfection outer crunch, flavorful, no guilt 

low carb KETO BAGELS. Let's just say...YUM.

What I absolutely love about these ketogenic bagels is that they are so simple to throw together, just a few simple ingredients swirled together create an outstandingly flavorful bagel.  The crunchy texture leaves you wondering if it is actually a low carb / keto recipe?  No worries, when you see the list of ingredients on the recipe you will have no doubts AND when you taste the final product you may just scream at the top of your lungs... "Wake me up, I must be dreaming!" 

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup                  coconut flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 2 1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese 
• 2 oz                          cubed cream cheese 
• 2 large beaten eggs
•  Everything but the Bagel - sesame seeds

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper 

or use stoneware greased with coconut oil.

2. Stir together the almond flour, coconut flour and baking powder. Set to the side.

3. Combine the shredded mozzarella and cubed cream cheese in a large bowl. 

4. Microwave for 2 minutes, stop and stir halfway through. Stir briskly & thoroughly 

once completed.

5. Stir the flour mixture and the eggs into the melted cheese mixture.

6. Knead with your hands until a soft dough forms. The dough will be very sticky, 

but just keep kneading. If the dough becomes too firm before fully mixed, 

or is too difficult to mix, you can microwave for 15-20 seconds to soften it.

7. Divide the dough into 6 parts. Form a long log with each part, then press the 

ends together to make a bagel shape on the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the 

remaining dough. 

8. If using the delicious sesame seeds, sprinkle them over the bagels and gently 

press into the dough.

Bake for approx. 12 minutes, until the bagels are golden and firm. Serve warm or 

toast just before serving.
