Blackberry Chocolate Shake

Blackberry Chocolate Shake

You know those chocolate covered berries you find in those specialty candy stores, or the ones that they serve up to you when you go out for a romantic date at a fondue joint? This is a smoothie that will bring memories back to you with a cooling and refreshing vibe running through it. We all need a break from the ordinary, piping hot ketoproof coffee every once in a while (especially with the weather lately in Florida). Instead of getting your MCT Oil in Ketoproof Coffee, why not change it ...

I've been frequenting foodgawker more and more and realized that there's so many popsicle recipes coming out. So many delicious looking popsicles...that I had to make my own. I grabbed the NoPro Popsicle Mold off of Amazon (nothing beats those awesome old fashioned wooden sticks) and waited my 2 days on Amazon Prime. When it arrived, I had already made my Cinnamon Roll "Oatmeal" recipe so I said why not? Let's see what happens and hopefully it'll be good. Good? No, it was amazing! ...

Cinnamon Roll “Oatmeal”

Cinnamon Roll “Oatmeal”

So the last few days I've really been craving oatmeal. I keep seeing oatmeal bars, cookies, porridge and the like on Pinterest and Facebook - and I wanted to join in on the fun...but not have any of the carbs to go along with it. The second I put this in my mouth and started to chew, the texture wasn't exactly the same as oatmeal - but the taste was pretty darn close! The mouth feel is very similar, and really nice while you're chewing. The aftertaste even makes me think back to the days ...

Chicharrones con Huevos

Chicharrones con Huevos

Chicharrones con Huevos roughly translates to "pork rinds with eggs". Though, I thought I'd spice it up a little bit by adding tomato, avocado, jalapenos, and of course cilantro to the mix. While ketoproof coffee is a fantastic way to get fats into your diet, it's not all that nutritionally dense. There's tons of micronutrients missing from it, there's no protein (which in a lot of cases is better for people), and there's barely any work involved. If you're interested to learn more about how ...

Creamy Tarragon Chicken

Last night was one of the rare occasions I get to cook for myself. So, today's meal is something that you'd see me make for myself - something I enjoy. It's a single serving of pure deliciousness served up in a bowl. I probably chose the wrong bowl for the photo in hindsight. I recently went thrift store shopping and got a bargain on a bunch of things I plan to incorperate into the photos I take, and this was one of them. The cream sauce just missed the lip of the bowl (if you look in the ...

Keto Chocolate Roll Cake

When I was a kid, my mom usually packed my lunch box with snacks and sweets that I could finish the day off with. From oatmeal cookies to honey buns, there was always tons of sugar packed inside. Well...now I guess I know why I gained so much weight in my childhood ;) One of the things I still remember, though, are those little Swiss Cakes from Little Debbie. Lately, I've been thinking about them more and more, wanting to recreate them...but elevate them in flavor and bring them over to the ...

Low Carb Pepperoni Pizza

Low Carb Pepperoni Pizza

August 25, 2014 by 158 Comments

It's naturally crisp and crunchy, it holds together like a regular slice of pizza, and it actually tastes like the real deal. So, if you've never had the chance to try it yet, definitely take this opportunity to do it for dinner! It's really fast to make, too - which makes it a perfect medium for someone with a busy life. And you might be thinking about the leftovers? Yep, it does fantastic in the fridge and I'd even argue that it tastes better cold. You know, I've tried many, many pizza ...

Low Carb Pork Pies

Low Carb Pork Pies

August 23, 2014 by 3 Comments

Growing up in England taught me a valuable lesson in life: if you can eat it, you can make a pie out of it. Every bakery that you step foot in will have meat stuffed pies, sweet pies, cheese and onion pies, pretty much any kind of ingredient you can think of - stuffed in a pie. So I took a little note from my heritage and made a classic pork pie. These flavors usually come together pretty commonly in irish cooking, especially with pork (though we're missing the stout), and will give you ...

Keto Pie Crust

Keto Pie Crust

Today I bring you a keto tart dough...that actually stays together while you're making it! A lot of the coconut flour doughs that I've tried to make and form into a tart or pie ends up working, but it's really tough to work with. It's extremely crumbly and falls apart while you're working with it. Almond flour is pretty similar, although I found that it has better elasticity to it when you're working with it. Well, I put the two together, then added a bit of psyllium and egg to help work ...

Low Carb Chocolate Brownies

Low Carb Chocolate Brownies

August 21, 2014 by 35 Comments

I'm starting to get a little tired of seeing these amazing pictures online for what I think will be the greatest brownies of all time, spending a while in the kitchen, and then realizing that what I end up with is an almost paper-thin, crunchy, dry, and near inedible brownie (if you can even call it that). What you might think was cut off the top of what could have been great, the recipes I've been trying over the last few months just never came out how I wanted them to. So, I set out to create ...
