Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu Meatballs
These chicken Cordon Bleu meatballs are ham-stuffed chicken meatballs topped with a creamy Swiss cheese sauce. They are delicious served over zucchini noodles, mashed cauliflower, or simply on their own! A great way to use up leftover ham. I've used diced ham, however cubed ham works better as the meatballs keep their shape better. Grate your own cheese; it melts much better than the pre-shredded variety.
Penne with Mushrooms
Tiny, white button mushrooms make a delicious, simple sauce for pasta. Try them with penne or large shells.
How to Make Perfect Polenta
Polenta is nothing more than coarsely ground cornmeal. The classic ratio is 1 part polenta to 4 parts water, but I like to measure the polenta just a little scant of a full cup. I often use chicken broth instead of water. It's a great base for any kind of saucy meat or mushroom ragout.
