Cheesesteak Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
A delicious low-carb alternative to a traditional cheesesteak sub. You can add any of your favorite cheesesteak add-ins to the filling: onions, peppers, jalapeños.
I like to use this pre-sliced shaved beef steak. It makes for a quick and easy dinner prep. I usually give this pre-shaved meat a coarse chop so that there are no large slices of beef.

Instant Pot Ham & Cauliflower Chowder
Still have leftover ham? Here is a delicious and healthy low-carb way to use up some of that leftover Easter ham. This ham and vegetable chowder has half of the cauliflower blended with the stock to create a creamy base and the other half chopped into small florets to add texture to the soup. Adding a little cream and cheese makes for a hearty delicious soup. You can cook this in an Instant Pot, a crock pot, or on the stovetop.
Still have more leftover ham? Here are a couple of other ham recipes to try:

Pizza Stuffed Chicken
All of the delicious flavors of pizza, without all of the bread. This makes a fun alternative to traditional pizza, even for the one child who doesn’t let me fill hers with sausage, pepperoni, or mozzarella cheese. But then- she also doesn’t eat pizza, so at least she likes a basic version of this meal.
To make these chicken rolls, it is important to pound the chicken breast thin between layers of plastic wrap. If you are starting with a large breast, you can either cut it completely in half into two thinner pieces before pounding, or you can butterfly the breast first before pounding.
I like to fill them with pepperoni, cooked sausage, and just a little bit of sauce and cheese. Here are a few process pictures (ignore the skinny little roll on the end without any of the delicious meat inside).

Chicken Tikka Masala
After a week spent outside in the beautiful sunshine and warm weather (in mid-February!), the temperature has taken a nose dive this weekend. That makes this a perfect time to make a hearty curry for (maybe?) this last venture into winter.
Chicken Tikka Masala is a spice-filled, tomato-based Indian curry full of delicious tender chicken.
I use a Tandoori spice blend from Spiceology to marinate the chicken before roasting it and adding it to the curry base. You could also use a prepared tandoori paste, or a mixture of garam masala, turmeric, coriander, and Kashmiri chili powder.
Serve over rice with naan bread, if desired. Recipe for homemade Naan Bread:

Smoked Pulled Pork Jalapeño Poppers
We had some leftover smoked pulled pork in the freezer, and I decided to use it to top some jalapeño popper appetizers. Now I will always set aside pulled pork so I never have to make them any other way!
I didn’t have any barbecue sauce prepared when I decided to make these, so I mixed the pork with just a bit of some homemade enchilada sauce that I had on hand, and we really liked it that way. Whichever you choose, use just enough to barely moisten the pork.
