First sautéed the onion and garlic in a tbsp butter until soft, about 5-10 minutes, then added the zucchini I cut in chunks as well as the Mrs Dash. Sautéed for about 10 minutes then added the carton of broth and a cup of water, bring to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes until the zucchini is soft.
I added a small carton of heavy cream and put everything in a bowl then used the immersion blender. Added black pepper and a cup of Parmesan cheese, stir well and eat.

​What we have here for dinner is green Thai chicken curry with bok choy and cauliflower rice. Braise the chicken thighs in an electric skillet in Avocado oil and crushed garlic until golden brown. Remove and place the chicken aside for a bit. Add two teaspoons of green curry paste. Fry it slightly, add one or two cans of coconut milk, stir until paste is mixed thoroughly. Then put the chicken back in, simmer with a generous amount of dried pepper flakes for heat and until chicken is done. Add the bok choy at the end loosely and simmer a little more. Microwave the frozen birdseye cauliflower rice. Serve over the top of the rice, yum!! You can use either chicken thighs or breast meat, which ever you prefer. We have prepared it with both and we prefer thighs as they are jucier and seem more flavorful. This is a keto dish and there are basically no carbs abd low sodium, a very small amount in the coconut milk. We have this about once a week.

For dinner this evening I fixed cauliflower and chicken in the Ninja Foodi.

Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower
1 cup organic low sodium vegetable broth
2 thin chicken breast filets 6 oz each
Sartori Parmesan cheese
Olive oil
DAK’s Citrus Groove seasoning
Garlic powder
Paprika
Pico de gallo

First I pressure cooked the cauliflower whole (cut off the leaves) in the broth for 1 minute, quick pressure release, sprayed olive oil on the top, sprinkled it with garlic powder, paprika and about 4 tbsp of cheese, then set the Ninja Foodi to broil for 6 minutes.

Took the cauliflower out and set aside, then placed the chicken on the same rack, sprayed with olive oil, DAK’s seasoning and garlic powder, broil for 4 minutes, flipped over the chicken, seasoned that side, added 1 tbsp cheese on each filet and set to broil 6 more minutes.
Topped each one with a tbsp of pico de gallo once plated.

Ingredients:
8 oz salmon (4 oz each)
Medium head of cauliflower
Olive oil in spray bottle (or brush it on)
Garlic powder
DAK’s Citrus Groove seasoning (salt free)
Sartori Parmesan cheese
1 cup of Meijer fat free unsalted chicken broth

First I pressure cooked the whole head of cauliflower in the Ninja Foodi, on high for 3 minutes but next time will do 2 minutes to keep it a bit firmer. Then I did a quick pressure release, sprinkled the garlic powder, DAK’s and 2 tbsp of cheese on top and sprayed a little olive oil over it, then switched the Foodi to broil for 10 minutes, cut the cauliflower in half and placed a half on each plate; put aside.

Then I put the salmon on the rack in the highest position, sprinkled that with seasonings and olive oil, broiled for 10 minutes, flip over and broil for another 5 minutes.
