Do you own an Air Fryer? We love our Air Fryer, it sits on our kitchen counter, because we use it daily.
My favorite Keto things to make in the Air Fryer are Chicken Wings, Bacon, Meatballs, and now our very own Keto Tortilla Chips.
Using low carb tortillas you can make your own tortilla chips for chips and salsa and/or chips and guacamole!
We used the NEW Mr. Tortilla 1 Carb Tortillas in the air fryer. They are easy to make and the best part is they are low carb!!!! Perfect for a keto eating lifestyle!
What you need:
Low Carb Tortillas (Mr. Tortilla 1 Carb Tortillas Preferred)
Olive Oil Spray or the oil of your choice that you can brush or spray on the tortillas.
Sea Salt
Directions:
Cut the low carb tortillas into triangles (chip shape, you could do strips for soups)
Lay out on a cookie sheet or drying rack.
Spray with oil of your choice.
Sprinkle on sea salt.
Preheat your air fryer.
Arrange in Air Fryer.
Cook at 350 Degrees for 5 Minutes.
I flipped at the 5 minute mark and cooked for an additional 1 minute. Depending how you like your chips and how hot your air fryer is you may need to adjust the time. Keep an eye on them.
Enjoy with salsa or guacamole! These would also be great in strips for soups and salads. These are perfect when you are craving that crunch. I am looking forward to enjoying Keto-friendly Migas thanks to this recipe.
Watch and see which was our favorite the multigrain flavor or the pico de gallo flavor.

Two of my sister-in-laws are from the Island of Guam, Emily and Eleanor, identical twins, they are a beacon of light and joy everywhere they go. I am so grateful to have them in my life. We were actually friends even before we became family. I worked with Eleanor and Emily at our local church and I have always been inspired by their bubbly personalities and encouraging hearts. We even traveled together on a church missions trip to Africa before we were all married, little did we know then, that we would all marry into the same family. Eleanor and I shared a twin bed while in Africa, although we only knew each other less than six months we would rather sleep together than on the floor with the giant bugs.
Yes you read that right, identical twin sisters who married brothers. Eleanor married Steve the eldest of the Briggs Family, two years later I married Jeff and became a Briggs. In our wedding I had Emily as a bridesmaid and the groomsmen she stood with was Joel, one of Jeff's brothers, Emily and Joel married two years after standing in our wedding. That is how we are all related.
The Island Twins started doing these "30 Day Challenges" on Facebook Live. For a double dose of encouragement to brighten your day follow them on their Facebook Page at Island Twins. They started with a 30-Day Walking Challenge and it was so great to see them inspire so many to walk daily. Then they did a Strength Training Challenge where they shared the Nitric Oxide Dump, which is an excellent simple exercise with so many health benefits which if you want to know more click here https://bit.ly/3almmWq. I am going somewhere with this I promise. Another challenge they took on was a 30-Day Cooking Challenge, where they cooked from a Chamoru Cookbook, cooking foods they grew up eating on Guam. Want to try some Chamoru Cuisine yourself? You can find the cookbook they cooked out of online atChamoruCuisine.com.
On one of the Cooking Challenge Days they made a Chamoru Potato Stuffing called Riyenu. This stuffing looked yummy, colorful, and vibrant. My sister-in-laws kindly shared a plate of the delicious foods they made with our family. After trying Riyenu, I wanted to see if I could make a Keto-friendly version. Obviously potatoes are not keto-friendly, so I thought I would substitute with a jicama. Jicama is a great potato substitute, my husband and I have made jicama fries and loved them. It calls for toasted bread, I used Keto Bread I get at Costco. There are only two other ingredients I had to leave out, raisins and pineapple juice, everything else in this dish is keto-friendly.
I did not have the recipe book so I just improvised from their Facebook video. This Chamoru Stuffing is a great side dish, this would be a wonderful changeup to your typical stuffing for Thanksgiving. I have actually made a Keto-Friendly Cauliflower Stuffing before, if you are not a cauliflower fan, Riyenu would be great because it uses ground beef. Well on to my Keto version of Riyenu.
Riyenu Recipe Keto-fied
Ingredients:
1 lb. Ground Beef
1 Jicama
1 Yellow Sweet Onion diced (use sweet since we are omitting the pineapple juice and raisins)
4 Stalks of Celery diced
2 Types of Bell Pepper diced (Yellow & Orange would be prettier, I used Green & Red, that is what I had on hand).
2 Small Jars of Pimentos (which did you know pimentos are brined bell peppers?)
1 Small can of Chopped Black Olives
1/3 Cup of Sweet Relish (You could substitute diced pickles to make even lower in carbs).
4 slices of toasted Keto Bread cubed
If you wanted to make this traditional you would use diced fried potatoes instead of the Jicama and add some pineapple juice and golden raisins.
Directions:
There are different steps that you can do ahead of time, to shorten the prep and cooking time. You also do not have to do all these steps in the exact order, you are simply cooking each part of the recipe and then combining all the ingredients at the end. While there are quite a few steps I only used two pans and then the dish I placed it in the oven with.
1. Peel and Dice the Jicama, fry in oil till a light crispy brown to resemble fried potatoes. Drain and set aside on paper towels.
2. In same pan, saute Onion in butter, set aside in larger pot once caramelized and sweet.
3. In the same pan, cook Ground Beef, season with salt and pepper, drain and set aside in a larger pot that you will combine all ingredients in.
4. Saute celery and two types of bell pepper diced for 7 minutes in 2 Tablespoons of Butter.
5. To sauteed celery and bell peppers add in drained jars of pimentos, 1/3 Cup of Sweet Relish and can of chopped olives, add another Tablespoon of Butter. Combine.
6. To the celery and bell pepper mixture add in Cubed Toasted Keto Bread.
7. Pour the sauteed celery, bell peppers, pimentos and olives into large pot with ground beef and onions. Combine all ingredients and mix.
8. Add in Diced, Fried Jicama and combine. I did not add any liquid, I think the butter and steam from everything was enough. They used the pineapple juice at this point. You could use chicken broth or a splash of Almond Milk. I did not think mine needed any liquid.
9. Pour all ingredients in a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
I think this could easily be dinner in a bowl, that is how I ate it, my husband wanted to know what else we were eating with it. Totally up to you, I guess stuffing typically is a side dish. Riyenu is traditionally served at Festivities, Celebrations and Holidays and served alongside Roast Pork, Turkey or Ham. I took some fresh made to the Island Twins to try and they enjoyed it, I hope you will give a try and enjoy a taste of Guam. I have had so much fun sharing about my sister-in-laws and this Chamoru Recipe, maybe I will try another one and tell you about the time Eleanor and I were pulled over when she was nine months pregnant.
Guam is an island in the Pacific Ocean, 5,800 miles West of San Francisco, and 1,600 miles East of Manila. Guam has a tropical climate with temperatures averaging between 70-90 degrees. Native Guamanians are called Chamorros, they have Malayo-Indonesian decent which is a mixture of Spanish, Filipino, Mexican and other Asian ancestries. The Chamoru language uses many Spanish words and I find many cultural similarities with my hispanic culture.
I love learning from other cultures, I love trying the foods, learning about the people and language. One thing I found interesting is I had to Google is it Chamorro or Chamoru, I learned Chamorro is used widely when writing in English and Chamoru when writing in the native tongue. You can read more about that on GuamPedia.com.

Fall, all things pumpkin spiced and Halloween are right around the corner. Although many parts of the United States are still dealing with shelter in place orders, and the Covid-19 Pandemic there are still creative ways to make Fall memories and have fun with our families.
Life is too short and our littles are growing up fast, I will not skip out on holiday fun. I have always been a fan of Trunk-or-Treats, even before Covid-19, it is one of my Fall favorites. We actually have not taken our kids trick-or-treating, we usually celebrate at larger events, Harvest Festivals and Trunk-or-Treat Events.
We see more and more homes decorating for Halloween, Party City is your one stop shop for all things Halloween! They have affordable decorations, costumes for all ages and everything you need to create a Trunk-or-Treat or Halloween Parade.
I think a Trunk or Treat event is a great option this year, it is held outdoors and can easily accommodate social distancing. I have mostly seen Trunk-or-Treat events hosted by schools, churches and other community groups, I sure do hope that I will see them around this year.
Even if there is not an organized Trunk-or-Treat near you, I think this is a great way for a community or even if you have family and friends nearby who want to participate and celebrate this Halloween, create your own Trunk-or-Treat.
What you do is decorate the Trunk of your vehicle in a theme! We have done a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Theme, a Football Theme, this year we are doing a Pirate Theme, there are so many ideas to choose from. Need some theme ideas check out this blog post.
Typically you would hand out candy from your decorated Trunk, there would be multiple participating vehicles in a well lit parking lot. You can simply hand out candy or have a small carnival type game. With social distancing in mind, you may just want to set out a bowl, caldron, or container for each person to grab their own candy. We are using this Inflatable Pirate Ship we bought online at Party City it goes perfectly with our theme. https://bit.ly/3kzdGAF
Masks should be covered since everyone will be in costume! Have you heard of progressive dinners, where you drive from house to house for different parts of the meal? This would be fun to do with your family and friends Halloween style, people you may have already been around during these past months would be willing to host a trunk. This enables your kids to still participate in trick-or-treating but in safe manner.
I hope our church hosts a Trunk-or-Treat but if not, I plan on setting up my trunk, putting on my pirate hat, placing my lawn chairs in the front yard and having candy ready for my kiddos, nieces and nephews and any others I see out and about.
Thanks to Party City, the one stop shop for all things Halloween, creating our Pirate themed Trunk-or-Treat was easy and affordable. Yo Ho Ho, Party City has same day delivery and curbside pick up available as well! Visit your local Party City or shop conveniently online PartyCity.com.
