This recipe started out as a chicken, bacon and broccoli skillet meal - but it turned out that I had no broccoli in the fridge when I went to add it. As it was during a snow and ice storm, I couldn't just up and drive to the store - but the spinach came and saved the day! So, I decided to make it a bit heartier of a meal and transform it into a fully baked pot pie. Oh - and the taste? Fantastic. Not to toot my own horn, but I've already made this twice - it's that good. And yes, I only ...

There's nothing like fresh salmon that's been pan fried to crispy-skinned perfection. Done so that it just melts in your mouth as you take a bite, and explodes with flavor as you chew. The delicious cream sauce is subtly seasoned so the distinct flavor of the salmon still comes through. This would also go fantastic with some bacon wrapped asparagus on the side. Drizzle any leftover sauce on the asparagus for a truly beautiful meal! If you're making this for a significant other, they will ...

Asian and Indian style dishes are a staple in this house, as both of us have a long-standing weakness for Chinese takeout and Indian buffets. So, an Asian/Indian spin on a keto recipe is always a welcome addition to our recipe rotations, and this one is definitely a new favorite! I grabbed this recipe from my friend Hazim. Originally called Buttermilk Shrimp in his home country of Brunei, this was a dish that was served in resturants everywhere. He's worked hard to transform this dish into a ...

Jalapenos and buffalo chicken are a marriage of flavors that just had to be done. It's a flavor explosion that is oozing with rich and delicious cheese, and packed full of spiciness in every bite. Of course - you can't forget about bacon. Everything tastes better with bacon. I based this on a quick skillet meal that my girlfriend made me the other night. It was pretty much this, but in a pan - and I knew right then and there I had to make a casserole out of it. Both of us absolutely love ...

I know that duck is a bit extravagant and costly for most people out there, but I found some beautiful looking duck breasts in the co-op and decided that I had to try it. I'd never tried it or cooked it before, so I figured why not? If you're not the type that wants to use duck, you can easily sub the duck breast out for a chicken thigh. Just remember that chicken thighs want to go into a hot pan (rather than a cold pan, since there isn't as much fat to render), and that they take longer to ...

Tender, juicy, and melt in your mouth are the three things you always want to hear when you think of steak. Ribeye is one of the fattier cuts that always delivers on that and always stays juicy if you cook it right. Today, we're going to do exactly that, learn how to cook a perfect ribeye steak that'll make everyone want to come over to your house for dinner. Instead of using the grill to do our steak, we pan sear the outside at a very hot temperature. This creates a nice crust on the ...

The flavor the BBQ is just what you want in a soup - not too smokey and not too sweet. Just enough flavor to keep you wanting to take another bite. Actually, this is like the Pulled BBQ Chicken Recipe, made into a soup! I wanted to make a good low carb barbecue sauce after seeing how many carbs were in normal sauces. Most of the recipes I saw online were well over 30g carbs per serving, from the sauce alone! The low-carb varieties I've had so far for sauces were just not cutting it, either ...
