Keto Star-Spangled Spread for Four

Summer is here and it’s time to celebrate Independence Day with family, friends, and Factor! This meal starts off with a bang with these delicious pork chops, absolutely bursting with flavor. They’re rubbed with cumin, onion, garlic, and chipotle and ají amarillo chile powders for a touch of heat, then fire-grilled and finished in the oven until tender and juicy. Plus, there’s a sweet and smoky barbecue sauce, perfect for dipping or drizzling. We continue the show with two colorful veggie sides. Zucchini and yellow squash are roasted with garlic oil, and then topped with an ultra-flavorful pimento cheese made with cheddar, cream cheese, chili powder, and paprika. There’s also tender roasted asparagus dolloped with a luscious herb butter, which is enhanced with Asiago, Romano, and Parmesan. For the grand finale, we’re serving up a decadent red, white, and blue cheesecake. The filling combines strawberries and vanilla with cream cheese, egg, and a zero-calorie monk fruit sweetener, which is poured into an almond flour crust and then baked until creamy, luscious, and satisfying. It’s finished with a drizzle of blueberry topping and a sprinkling of candied almonds and toasted coconut. Enjoy the show!
