What's for Dinner:




Cauliflower Chicken Casserole
Okay, this is one of my favorite dishes and it is Keto friendly for those following the Keto Diet, Carb Cycling, or just wanting to watch your carbs in general.


 We start off by frying up some bacon. I mean, hell, who doesn't love bacon. I tend to use the whole package for bacon because I don't like to let it sit in the fridge and wait to be used.


















Next, I cut up a package of chicken into small pieces. You can also use a can of chicken to save time, but I prefer to use the real thing. I also like to leave the chicken a little larger than what comes in the can.

After cutting up the chicken, you want to brown each piece in a frying pan.



















Next, I take about 3 or 4 scallions and chop them up into small pieces.






















While you are frying up the chicken and bacon, you should begin preparing your cauliflower. I prefer to use a fresh head of cauliflower rather than using frozen, but you can substitute frozen instead.

Cut up the cauliflower (unless frozen) and place it in your pot to steam it.

This should take about 25 minutes.















Once you have the above steps completed, it is time to put your casserole together with a few more ingredients. In a large bowl, please combine the following:


  • Steamed cauliflower (be smart and let it cool down first)
  • The browned chicken, 
  • 1/2 cup of Sour Cream
  • Taco seasoning mix (Although I have made this with Onion Soup Mix and with Ranch Seasoning. Any of the three will work well with this dish).
  • 1 Cup of shredded Cheddar (You can use whatever cheese you'd like, but we tend to use a lot of cheddar in our house).
  • Add half of your bacon and crumble it up
  • Add half of your scallions.
Mix everything together very well and place in a casserole dish.

Then, you will take the remaining crumbled pieces of bacon and scallions to add to the top and add another cup of cheese (your choice, we went with cheddar again).



Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes.


And there you go, a delicious and Keto friendly meal you will enjoy. This is usually split three ways in our family and usually holds about 3 servings for each of us so I would say 8-9 servings depending on your portion sizes.

Village Tavern

This past weekend was my wife's birthday. I wanted to take her out somewhere nice and the Village Tavern was a place she kept telling me she wanted to go back to since my brother-in-law's birthday back in January. So we decided to go back and was just as happy this time as we did the previous event. 1555 Rainwater Dr Alpharetta, GA 30009 770-777-6490 https://www.villagetavern.com/ About the Village Tavern The original Village Tavern opened in Winston Salem, NC in 1984. The concept was to serve the best food at affordable prices using the freshest ingredients. Drink: Apple Knocker (Knob Creek Bourbon, Apricot Brandy, Crisp Green Apple, and Ginger Beer) Score: 8.5 out of 10 Comments: This was a strong drink. I mean, it was enough where two or three of these will knock you on your butt. You could taste the Brandy more than any other flavors. It paired well with the rest of the liquor which made the drink enjoyable. Appetizer: Baked Brie

Cookout-Review

3626 Mundy Mill Road Gainesville, GA 30504 https://cookout.com/ For over a year, I kept hearing about this place and how good the food and shakes were. Every time I tried to go, something or someone always prevented me from going. I finally decided to give them a try to see if they lived up to the hype. Food: A Big Double Burger with Cheese (Ketchup, pickles and onions) Tray (included fries, a quesadilla, and an oreo shake). Burger Score: 7.5 out of 10 Comments: The burger was juicy but there was barely any cheese on it. It was nice I could pick out what I wanted on the burger, but they don't provide a list of options so I had no idea what to select other than the basic ketchup, pickles and onions. Fries Score: 6.5 out of 10 Comments : I was very disappointed with the fries. There was no taste to them. They tasted like they were dipped in oil and dried and put in the container. There was no seasoning on them. You have to ask for cajun seasoning. What happened t

El Campesino

El Campesino 6630 Highway 53 East Dawsonville, GA  (706) 216-3036 Okay, this was my second time going for Mexican food since moving to Dawsonville. I found this restaurant by random when I decided to take Highway 53 home instead of 400.  My wife and I were in the mood to get out of the house on a Friday night and wanted to try a new place (new to us). About El Campesino: Owned by the Guzman brothers, Salvador and Carlos, El Campesino opened its doors in 1997 in Dawsonville. The brothers learned the art of Mexican cuisine from their mother in Guanajuato, Mexico. They had always dreamt of providing food and a warm atmosphere to patrons of their restaurant. They currently own and operate two locations (Dawsonville and Cleveland, GA) Drink: Margarita Score: 9 out of 10 Comments : The margaritas at El Campesino give you a lot for your money. The one in the picture is the large and took the whole meal to finish it. The taste of the liquor was not overpowering,
