These Keto Taco Cups are deliciously edible cheddar taco cups filled with seasoned beef along with your favorite toppings. They’re the perfect keto way to celebrate Cinco De Mayo!

Mix ‘N Chop

A Fan-Favorite Chopper

The unique, beveled pinwheel blades of our Mix ‘N Chop™ make it easy to chop and crumble food. It’s a customer favorite for finely crumbling and browning ground beef, turkey, and sausage. It can quickly mash up avocados and eggs, and you can even crush tomatoes for a chunky tomato sauce.

  • Sour cream

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C.

Shred Cheese, chop onions, garlic, tomatoes, and cilantro. Dice avocado.

This keto recipe uses a tomato for the bun, filled with delicious tuna salad and loads of melty cheese! Another fabulous recipe from Delish, I made this with one of my keto friends in mind, and it did not disappoint! I love that it was super easy to put together, and very filling.  Of course, I substituted Greek yogurt for the mayonnaise, and it was delicious.

For this recipe, I used my Modular Sheet Pans and our new Extra-Large Scoop:

Modular Sheet Pans:

Better Sheet Pan Meals

When it comes to sheet pan dinners, three pans are better than one. If you ever put everything on one pan only to find the chicken cooked to perfection but the green beans are burnt, or moisture from veggies has made your crispy fish soggy, it’s time for modular pans. With these pans, not everything has to hang out in the oven for the same amount of time; you can add foods at different stages and season them separately, so everything turns out perfect.

You get three high-quality sheet pans—one that’s 8¾” x 12¾” (22.5 cm x 32 cm) pan and two that are 8¾” x 6¼” (22.5 cm x 16 cm), so you’ll have a variety of cooking options. The smaller pans also fit in our Deluxe Air Fryer. These pans are made from the same heavy-gauge steel as our other popular sheet pans, so they won’t warp in the broiler and will cook food evenly. The high sides keep food from overflowing and the high-quality coating prevents food from sticking and keeps your pan looking great. They nest too, for easy storage.

Product Details

  • Heavy-gauge aluminized steel resists corrosion and provides even heat distribution
  • Includes one 8¾” x 12¾” (22.5-cm x 32-cm) pan and two 8¾” x 6¼” (22.5-cm x 16-cm) pans
  • Broiler-safe to 550°F (290°C). Safe to use in convection and conventional ovens
  • Freezer-safe
  • Dishwasher-safe

Extra-Large Scoop:

Jumbo Cookie Scoop

This heavy-duty scoop is the tool you need! With a 4 tbsp (60-mL) capacity, it’s the perfect size for jumbo cookies, portioning batter into baking pans, or even making meatballs. It’s also great for serving mashed potatoes, other side dishes, and desserts!

Stainless Steel Scoops

Our heavy-duty stainless scoops are the perfect way to portion everything from batter and dough to filling and salads. The squeeze-action handle makes them easy to use, even one-handed, and the scraping blade ensures every last bit comes out.

Guarantee

  • 1-year guarantee

Product Details

  • Approximately 4 tbsp (60 mL)
  • Heavy-duty stainless steel resists rust
  • Squeeze-action handle with scraping blade
  • Dishwasher-safe

Creamy avocado filled with a delicious combination of tuna, bright veggies and Greek yogurt makes these tapas a dish you’ll come back to time and again! I was inspired by something I found on Allrecipes, but I had to change it since hubby does NOT eat mayonnaise.  Greek yogurt to the rescue!  It was such a fantastic lunch and would also make a great light dinner as well.

For this recipe, I used my favorite 8” Chef’s Knife, along with my Cutting Board, to chop my veggies.  I used Garlic & Herb Rub to season the tuna, and my Medium Scoop for the tuna mixture when scooping it into the avocado.  Here’s some information on all of the products: 

8” Chef’s Knife

Our 8″ Chef’s Knife will quickly become the most important knife in your kitchen! This best-in-class knife is fully forged from a single piece of high-carbon German steel and has a full tang for added balance.

  • Use it for chopping, slicing, dicing, and mincing.
  • Finely crafted from a single piece of fully forged, high-carbon German steel for superior cutting performance.

Of course, I can’t forget about our Avocado Tool!

AVOCADO SLICER

Whether you’re a fan of avocado toast or homemade guacamole, you’ve probably felt that twinge of frustration when you’re trying to pry the pit out of the fruit. Now you can enjoy avocados with faster, easier prep using this multifunctional tool.

One end is a knife that helps you cut through the avocado skin, separate it from the avocado flesh, slice the avocado any way you like, and spread it. The pitter end has three stainless-steel prongs that grab the pit, and, with a little twist, the pit comes out. The soft-grip handle is comfortable to hold no matter how you use the tool, and it’s compact enough to keep tucked away in any kitchen drawer.

Greek Yogurt Tuna Salad – Project Meal Plan (Video)

Chock-full of scrumptious veggies, then tossed in a deliciously creamy yogurt sauce, this recipe from Danielle over at Project Meal Plan is the tuna salad you never knew you needed! You can learn more about Danielle here, she is a woman after my own heart. She does most of the work on her blog, recipes, photos and videos, by herself, and I can truly appreciate the hard work and effort she puts into her wonderful site. I look forward to trying more recipes from her!

We checked out this recipe due to hubby’s aversion to mayo, and it’s definitely a keeper! He likes seafood, but has never been a fan of canned tuna until recently. We are trying to eat healthy lunches, and found that canned tuna is lower on calories, high in protein, minerals and Omega 3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. Finally, it’s budget friendly, which is a HUGE plus in my book!

I used my 8″ Chef’s Knife for this recipe. This is the knife that I use every single day, whether cutting though veggies, grapes, cabbage or watermelon, it’s perfect!

Our 8″ Chef’s Knife will quickly become the most important knife in your kitchen! This best-in-class knife is fully forged from a single piece of high-carbon German steel and has a full tang for added balance. It features pinch-grip indicators on the blade and storage cover to help you stay safe in the kitchen.

BLT EGGLETS – Delish (Video)

Crispy bacon, lettuce and juicy tomatoes with a creamy sauce – everything you want in a BLT, without the carbs!!  If you’re looking for a healthy but delicious lunch or snack, look no further, we’ve got you covered!! 

What a fun and easy recipe from Delish!  My husband wants to cut carbs, and this lunch/snack idea is just the recipe to help him along the way.  I love it when a recipe is not only healthy, but also very delicious.  I never thought about mixing host sauce with mayonnaise, but you can be sure I will make this one time and again.

I used my Multi Cooker to hard-boil the eggs, and they came out perfectly! Using the EGG setting made it even easier, and they were so easy to peel. Here’s some info on the Multi Cooker:

Pressure Cooker, Sous Vide Cooker, Slow Cooker, Yogurt Maker, and Sterilizer

Our pressure cooker offers so many ways to get a delicious meal on the table with minimal effort and perfect results, every time. In addition to quick cooking—fast, flavorful meals cooked up to 70% faster than other methods even from frozen—and no-fuss slow cooking so it does it thing while you’re doing yours, you can sous vide, the secret to restaurant-quality steaks, fish, and more. With sous vide, you pick the temperature, and it cooks to the exact doneness you love, every time! No more undercooked centers and overcooked outsides. After your food reaches your perfect doneness, it can stay put for up to two hours without overcooking, giving you lots of wiggle room for serving. Plus, there is a yogurt function so you can make homemade yogurt with just two ingredients and less than 5 minutes of hands-on time, and you can even sterilize bottles and utensils. All of this without ever turning on the oven!

Confident Cooking

With 16 preprogrammed settings at your fingertips, you can cook everything from meat, rice, and beans to desserts minus the guesswork. Some added features include an indicator that shows at-a-glance progress of preheating, cooking, and warming so you always know the status of what you’re making and two lid rest slots on the back so you can securely rest the lid on the Deluxe Multi Cooker instead of your counter. The steam release button is safely positioned to keep your hands away from any steam and the outside of the unit stays cool even while in use.
