Keto Pigs in a Blanket

Keto Pigs in a Blanket

January 28, 2015 by 3 Comments

Pigs in a Blanket were a staple in my household when I was growing up. If we held any get togethers for soccer games, we'd always have Pigs in a Blanket to serve to our guests. There's not too much I remember from when I was a kid, but these appetizers are definitely one memory I have. The sausage should be easily picked up in your local grocer. They have cocktail sausages, vienna sausages, or hotdogs you can cut up in place of regular Lit'l Smokies. Pick your favorite and use that. These ...

I came across this idea searching for new recipes to put into the Keto-fied Super Bowl line-up. Of all places, it was Campbell's Soup who gave me this idea - products that I generally avoid on keto. I thought they were fantastic. Definitely the perfect thing to bring to parties, and even better - enjoy while watching the Super Bowl. These little cups of cheeseburger goodness will keep all of yours guests happy and they'll be begging for more. You can make double, triple, or even quadruple ...

Personal Pan Pizza Dip

Personal Pan Pizza Dip

While searching for some new and creative ideas to be keto during the Super Bowl, I came across keto fat bomb Pizza Dip. Usually they're served in a large casserole dish, but I thought the idea of having a personal pan pizza dip was really awesome. That way, you don't have to put up with the double-dippers (you know who they are) and can portion out servings easily. Still being able to track your macros while having a great party is always something that's a plus in my book. But, if you're so ...

Keto Breadsticks

Today I decided to do breadsticks in three different ways: Italian style, extra cheesy, and cinnamon sugar. Two savory flavors which taste absolutely delicious just dipped in some tomato sauce (I use Rao's), and one sweet flavor which tastes fantastic dipped in a cream cheese buttercream (1 oz. Cream Cheese, 2 tbsp. Heavy Cream, and 1 tbsp. Swerve Sweetener). I based this recipe for the breadsticks on the same dough that's used in both the Low Carb Pepperoni Pizza and the Keto Roti John. This ...

Easy entertaining and keto usually don't go hand in hand. But, these are so easy and straightforward to make that they will be a new go-to when you're in a pinch and need a quick appetizer. For their small size, they're really sweet, smokey, and packed full of flavor. They'll be a new crowd favorite! Even better, they're perfect for snacking on for the upcoming Super Bowl, and everyone you serve them to will surely enjoy these little weenies as they're watching the game. If you have ...

Begedil Keto Potato Patties

Begedil Keto Potato Patties

With another journey through food to Asia, we meet up with the Begedil. Also known as the Perkedel in Indonesia, these are traditionally made with mashed potatoes and deep-fried. Very commonly, you can find these in the night market (pasar malam) or small stalls along the street (garai). You can eat them on their own with a dipping sauce like mayonnaise and chili paste, or you can serve them in a clear soup/stew (usually Soto, or a noodle soup) like they are traditionally served. You ...

Keto Corndog Muffins

Keto Corndog Muffins

January 13, 2015 by 32 Comments

I've seen this idea floating around the web for a while. It combines the amazing taste of a corndog with a super easy way of creating a bite-sized treat. You can have these done in 20 minutes or less and ready to send out of the kitchen as an appetizer for a party. I thought with the Super Bowl coming up, these would be a perfect way to serve finger-food while still keeping it low carb. All of your guests will love them and easily be able to eat/dip them into whatever they'd like. Speaking of ...

Thai Chicken Zoodles

Thai Chicken Zoodles

This is a keto-fied version of Fried Noodles, or Mee Goreng, inspired by the Japanese version of Yaki Udon. These have a slight Indian influence on them since my friend is from Brunei. His mom used to get this for him whenever she went to the coffee shop, and he wanted to re-create it! The typical ingredients in this are ketchup, chili paste, potato, tomato, tofu, sweet and dark soy sauce, and it's served with a citrus and chili sauce. There are three well known versions of this: chicken, ...

Low Carb Chili Lime Meatballs

Low Carb Chili Lime Meatballs

This is a great change in flavor from the regular meals I usually make that are rich and hearty. These meatballs are extremely fresh and flavorful in their own way, bringing the bell pepper and lime to the forefront of each and every bite. They were such a treat to have while the snow was blowing outside, reminding us that spring is just around the corner. You can even serve these as a party appetizer like I did by adding a dab of guacamole underneath the meatballs and then sticking a skewer ...
