Get ready to cozy up with a bowl of this creamy and cheesy Rotel Soup featuring smoky sausage! It's the perfect comfort food for any day. Ingredients: - 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced - 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel) - 1 cup heavy cream - 1 cup chicken broth - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese - 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon onion powder - 1/2 teaspoon paprika - Salt and pepper to taste - 2 tablespoons olive oil - Chopped green onions for garnish (optional) Directions: 1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the sliced smoked sausage and let it cook until it’s browned and delicious, about 5-7 minutes. 2. Once the sausage is sizzling, stir in the diced tomatoes with green chilies, chicken broth, heavy cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix it all together until the cream cheese is nicely blended in. 3. Bring that comforting mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep things nice and creamy. 4. Time to get cheesy!

Give it a taste and feel free to adjust the seasoning to your liking. If the soup seems a bit thick, don’t hesitate to add a splash more chicken broth until it’s just right for you. 6. Serve this heavenly soup hot, and if you're feeling fancy, sprinkle some chopped green onions on top for an added kick of flavor and color.

Looking for a deliciously low-carb twist on a classic comfort food? These Keto Ricotta Gnocchi are light, fluffy, and guilt-free! #KetoEats #ComfortFood #HealthyRecipes #LowCarb #Gnocchi Ingredients: - 1 cup ricotta cheese, well-drained - 1 large egg - 1 cup almond flour - 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (or 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder) - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder - 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional) - 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter Directions: 1. **Drain the Ricotta**: Start by placing the ricotta cheese in a fine-mesh sieve or wrapped in cheesecloth. Press out the excess moisture and let it drain for at least 30 minutes. This step is key for perfect gnocchi! 2. **Prepare the Dough**: In a large mixing bowl, combine your drained ricotta, the egg, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, xanthan gum (or psyllium husk), salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and optional nutmeg. Mix everything together until a soft dough forms. 3. **Chill the Dough**: Cover your dough with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps it firm up nicely! 4. **Shape the Gnocchi**: Lightly flour your clean countertop with almond flour. Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope (about 1/2 inch thick), then cut each rope into 1-inch pieces. Use a fork to make those cute little ridges on your gnocchi. 5. **Pan-Fry Instead of Boiling**: Heat some olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the gnocchi in a single layer and cook for about 3-5 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside. Yum! 6. **Serve & Enjoy**: Dish up your gnocchi warm, and pair them with a keto-friendly sauce of your choice, like Alfredo, butter and sage, or marinara. The possibilities are endless!
