Laverna’s jalapeño poppers
5–6 large jalapeños • 4 oz cream cheese, softened • 4 oz Colby Jack cheese, shredded • 1 tsp dried rosemary, finely crushed • 1 tsp dried thyme • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs • 1/4 cup milk (for dipping) • Vegetable oil, corn oil, or coconut oil (for frying) Instructions: 1. Prep the Jalapeños: • Wash the jalapeños and pat them dry. • Cut off the tops of the jalapeños and use a small spoon or melon baller to carefully scoop out the seeds and membranes, leaving a hollow “tube” of the jalapeño. Be careful not to tear the sides. 2. Make the Filling: • In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded Colby Jack cheese, rosemary, and thyme until well combined. 3. Stuff the Jalapeños: • Using a spoon or piping bag, stuff each hollowed-out jalapeño with the cheese mixture, pressing it in to ensure it stays packed tightly and doesn’t fall out. 4. Prepare the Coating: • Pour the Panko breadcrumbs into a shallow bowl. • Pour the milk into another shallow bowl. 5. Coat the Jalapeños: • Dip each stuffed jalapeño into the milk, making sure the whole stuffed pepper is lightly moistened. • Roll the moistened jalapeño in the Panko breadcrumbs until fully coated. 6. Fry the Poppers: • Heat about 1 inch of oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat (around 350°F or 175°C). • Carefully place the coated jalapeños into the hot oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. • Fry the jalapeños for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. 7. Drain and Serve: • Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried jalapeños from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. • Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.

Jade's Caesar Salad

(This recipe is based on Caesar Cardini's recipe at his restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico in the 1920s, however Jade is making her version of this salad with keto-friendly croutons, grape [cherry] tomatoes and grilled chicken breast and her own Caesar salad dressing)

Keto-Friendly Croutons [based on Wiki Books' garlic croutons recipe in which I don't own whatsoever]

4 slices of keto-friendly French Bread, cubed
Into a shallow bowl put in two cloves of minced garlic and pour in four tablespoons of olive oil let it soak the longer the garlic flavor will come.

Preheat the oven at 350-degree.

Strain the olive oil into a frying pan and then add the bread cubes, then tossed to coat in oil.
Then spread the bread cubes into a baking sheet and sprinkle with Kosher salt. Bake for ten minutes or until crispy and dry then cool it down.

Clean 20 Romaine lettuce leaves and crisp them in a refrigerator for one hour before chopping.

Wash 1/2 cup of grape [cherry] tomatoes then set aside.

One pound of skinless, boneless chicken breast, wrapped in a clear wrap, then use a mallet or a skillet to pound the chicken breast.

Jade's version of Caesar's salad dressing

3 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce (in the original version from Caesar Cardini they used minced anchovies to have an extra flavor, but Jade remembers her old doctor's advice not to eat too much salty foods)

3 tablespoons of minced fresh garlic

1 tablespoon of organic Dijon mustard (regular Dijon mustard contains white wine, but Jade is smart to find the organic version of this mustard better)

2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce (this sauce contains anchovies, and Jade prefers Lea & Perrins because it doesn't contain high fructose corn syrup or msg/monosodium glutamate)

1 tablespoon of lime juice (chefs uses lemon juice but not Caesar Cardini he used lime juice)

In a wooden [or any bowl to used] whisk the soy sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce and lime juice together.

Then beat in one raw egg yolk to give some texture continue mixing and add a thread of olive oil [about 3/4 cup] slowly until the desire volume and texture.

Now seasoned the chicken breast with Kosher salt and ground or fresh cracked black pepper and then toss in a tablespoon of the dressing, grill the chicken breast until the golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side, rest before slicing carefully.

And now for the fun part

Add the Romaine lettuce to the dressing carefully add grape [cherry] tomatoes and then the sliced grilled chicken breast, now gently coated with the dressing.

Serve on a salad plate carefully top with three tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese and the keto-friendly croutons and add ground or fresh cracked black pepper to taste.

[Serve about 4]

(And no, I don't own anything from Caesar Cardini whatsoever)

DIY Laverna’s “Smoking Room” Bubble Bath





Base Ingredients:


1. Castile Soap (1/2 cup): This natural soap provides gentle foaming and a clean base for the bath.


2. Vegetable Glycerin (2 tablespoons): Helps create the bubbles and locks in moisture.


3. Coconut Milk (1/4 cup): For smoothness and creaminess, adding a rich texture to the bath.


4. Olive Oil (1 tablespoon): Moisturizes and softens the skin.


5. Colloidal Oatmeal (1 tablespoon, optional): Soothes and nourishes the skin, perfect for someone who needs comfort after chaotic adventures.





Essential Oils for Laverna’s “Smoking Room” Scent:


• Tobacco Absolute (5 drops): To capture the rich, smoky aroma of a cigar room. If you can’t find tobacco absolute, you can use Cedarwood Essential Oil as a substitute for a woody, smoky base.


• Vetiver Essential Oil (8 drops): Earthy, smoky, and deep—this sets the mood for Laverna’s mysterious vibe.


• Sandalwood Essential Oil (6 drops): Adds a creamy, smooth finish with a subtle smokiness.


• Patchouli Essential Oil (3 drops): Musky and spicy, perfect for balancing the deeper notes.


• Clove Essential Oil (2 drops): To add warmth and a spicy kick, reminiscent of a heady, smoky room.


• Bergamot Essential Oil (4 drops): A fresh, citrusy note to offset the richness and give the scent a slightly rebellious edge.





Instructions:


1. Combine the Base Ingredients:


In a mixing bowl, combine the castile soap, vegetable glycerin, coconut milk, olive oil, and colloidal oatmeal (if using). Stir gently to mix and avoid creating bubbles until you’re ready to pour into the bath.


2. Add the Essential Oils:


Add your essential oils one at a time, swirling the mixture gently to combine. The deep, smoky scents should immediately start to blend together, creating an intriguing fragrance.


3. Pour into a Container:


Transfer the mixture into an airtight glass bottle or jar. Shake before each use to ensure all ingredients are well-mixed.


4. To Use:


Add a generous amount (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup) of the mixture to your bath under warm running water. Swirl the water with your hands to create a luxurious, foamy soak.





Optional Add-ins (If Laverna Wants Extra Flair):


• Mica Powder (a small amount): For a subtle shimmer in the water, giving it a touch of glamour and mystery.


• Cinnamon Essential Oil (1-2 drops): If she wants to add a little extra spice to her mischievous, chaotic aura.





This blend will create a luxurious, slightly smoky, and deep scent, perfect for Laverna’s vibe. It’s rebellious but still maintains an air of sophistication—just the kind of thing she would use before heading out on her next unpredictable adventure.
