Garlic and Herb Compound Butter

I've made a compound butter for turkey breast before, but never for a steak. Last night I decided to give it a try and with the addition of this butter that was the best steak i've ever eaten! The butter melts on the sizzling hot steak and gives it really good flavor.

Ingredients:

4 oz stick of butter softened in the microwave

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

1 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp onion powder

sprinkle of salt

Directions:

1. In a small bowl combine all the ingredients until completely mixed.

2. Pour the soft butter into a sandwich ziploc bag and place it in the freezer for 10 minutes

3. Remove the butter from the freezer and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve

4. Slice a couple of pats over a big juicy steak, over roasted or steamed veggies, over cauli rice, or spaghetti squash. Delish!

This recipe yields 8 tbsp of compound butter. Each tablespoon has 0.3 Net carbs.

Low Carb Tartar Sauce

Bottled tartar sauce usually has sugar and some other mystery ingredients and to be honest it doesn't even taste that great. Instead make you own and save on carbs and increase the taste!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of mayonnaise
2 tbsp chopped dill pickles
1 tbsp finely minced onion
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp Splenda
1 tsp Dijon mustard
salt to taste

Directions:

1. Mix all of the ingredients in a medium bowl. Taste and add more Splenda and lemon juice to taste if necessary.

This recipe yields 1/2 cup or approximately 4 servings of 2 tbsp

Each serving has 0.8 Net carbs

This sauce would go great with fish, shrimp or even chicken if you'd like!

Andi's Chicken Wings

I have made these wings twice in a week. The sauce is AMAZING! It's really spicy which I LOVE!
The recipe was posted at Lowcarbfriends by a wonderful girl named Andi. The recipe is here.

I deep fried the wings and skipped the oregano because I didn't have any. I used 3 chipotles, 2 garlic cloves and olive oil.
I made them for my family over the weekend and they loved them!

Thanks for the recipe Andi!!!

Here is a picture of the sauce:
