Reverse Seared Ribeye Steak

Reverse Seared Ribeye Steak

This is by far the best method for tender steak you will ever use. Both my girlfriend and I agreed that this was the best steak we've both ever eaten, be it from a restaurant or at home. It's opened my eyes and I don't think I'll ever be making a steak any other way. The thing I love most about this method is that you don't get any rings on the internal cook of the meat. You don't have half an inch of well-done meat from the hard sear, it's a perfectly rare (or whatever temperature you take ...

Easy Creamy Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

Easy Creamy Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

Mashed Cauliflower was never a selling point for me when it came to eating vegetables. I didn't like the idea, and I didn't think the taste was that great. But, I was missing out for a long time. This recipe is super simple, and extremely tasty! It takes about 8 minutes to make, from start to finish, and is one of the creamiest, rich, and super flavorful side dishes. I love serving it whenever I have a nice steak (like this amazing reverse seared ribeye), or some stuffed pork chops. The ...

Keto Tater Tot Nachos (AKA Totchos)

Keto Tater Tot Nachos (AKA Totchos)

Totchos are an up and coming dish that has only started building momentum in the last few months. So, what are totchos? They're deliciously crisp tater tots dressed like nachos - gooey cheese, browned ground beef, and gloriously topped with sour cream, salsa, olives, and jalapenos. Curiously, totchos have really been on an upswing in 2015. With a search history spiking in early January, totchos have started to be a craving in many households across the US. Of which, the main city to be ...

Keto Tater Tots

Keto Tater Tots

Tater Tots were an obsession of mine as a kid. Ever since my mom used to buy them, they'd always be requested by me in place of mashed potatoes. They're crispy, they're crunchy, and they're just plain good. Being that I'm keto now, I decided to take it upon myself to delve into the creativity of my childhood and re-create this favorite of mine with keto tater tots. You definitely won't miss the potato here, and unlike many other cauliflower goods - you can't actually taste much of the ...

Blackberry Chipotle Chicken Wings

Blackberry Chipotle Chicken Wings

A sweet, smokey, crunchy, and absolutely delicious wing that you will want to make again and again. These chicken wings really bring together some fantastic flavors and will definitely be a hit with anyone who has them. Even the non-keto folks will be asking for more, as the sweetness and slight smokiness from the Blackberry Chipotle Jam really comes through. I chose to cook these with the marinade on (rather than tossing them in sauce afterward) because I really wanted to flavor to come ...

Low Carb Blackberry Chipotle Jam

Low Carb Blackberry Chipotle Jam

When it comes to keto, jam definitely isn't the first thing that pops into your head. But, making some new sweet sauces can definitely be within your grasp. To top it all off, you can add plenty of fats to really bring the macros up to par. We use MCT Oil here because of the liquid properties that it has. When you store the jam in the fridge, it will continue to stay as a sauce and not harden up (as it would if you used coconut oil). These's two main flavor components that I'd describe ...

No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Fat Bombs

No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Fat Bombs

I've been seeing a lot of pins on Pinterest for recipes on No Bake Oatmeal Power Bites. I wanted to create a keto friendly version, with a similar texture in mind. Because they're no bake, they're extremely simple to create and don't take much time or effort. Instead of using regular peanut butter, we opt to go with the powder due to the absorptive properties. The PB Fit powder really ties it all together, balancing the sweetness and chocolate out with a creamy and nutty flavor. The hemp ...

Keto Diet: Cost Breakdowns of Popular Recipes

Keto Diet: Cost Breakdowns of Popular Recipes

A common misconception is that a ketogenic diet is expensive. People see low-carb and automatically start calculating the high prices of meat. Luckily, this is not the case. A keto diet focuses on high fat and moderate protein which allows us to save money by focusing on the fat first. I went through some of my top reader and personal favorite recipes from the site to show you how much a typical ketogenic diet recipe costs, both per recipe and per serving. There are also many ways to save ...
