Keto Valentines: Red Velvet Doughnuts!

Keto Valentines: Red Velvet Doughnuts!

February 13, 2014 by 5 Comments

Valentines day is coming up and I just wanted to say thank you to each and every one of you that comes to the site and reads the articles and recipes on here! Even though a ketogenic diet can sometimes seem strict, there's always ways to bring old comfort foods back. Red Velvet Donuts are a staple Valentine's Day food that has changed pretty greatly over the years. Originally, untreated cocoa was used which gave the red color when baked due to the chemical reaction from the anthocyanin and ...

Keto French Toast Muffins

Come on, just admit it. You haven't had french toast in a while and you want it now. This is the perfect excuse to get that cinnamon-y, semi-crunchy, delicious taste. You can put some twists of your own on this one for sure. Add maple extract or Walden Farms Maple Syrup. You can add allspice, clove, or any other spice you see fit and think would work well. My intentions was to keep this simple, so almost everyone could make this. Keep in mind that I normally don't eat berries, and I ...

Keto Broccoli Cheddar Biscuits

Broccoli is probably my most favorite vegetable out of all the vegetables. It's delicious, nutritious, and it acts as a binder. Cauliflower is a close second, but for me it just doesn't taste as good. You have to actually put effort into getting rid of that pungent smell and taste with cauliflower, with broccoli the taste is welcomed. I'd seen a lot of biscuit recipes circling around lately, so I wanted to try my own spin at some "biscuits". They turned out pretty awesome, nice and crunchy on ...

Sometimes we just need dinner in a rush, but there's never an excuse to sacrifice taste, nutrients, or your diet for a fast answer. I got this meal done in just under 25 minutes from prep to plate. It's extremely fast, extremely tasty, and easy to do! Just remember that vegetables are still necessary on a ketogenic diet, and the micronutrients inside are vital to us. So, you might be wondering why there's 7g Net Carbs per serving? Well all that broccoli really adds up in the carb counts - ...

Remember the BBQ Pulled Chicken recipe that I did in the slow cooker the other day? Well it made quite a lot of food, and there was certainly leftovers to go around. I wanted to put something nice together that makes the leftovers seem like a new dish completely. All in all, this takes pretty little effort to put together. Just mixing together the batter for the buns, and the rest is almost auto-pilot cooking. From start to finish it took me maybe 30 minutes - so this would be a great meal if ...

I've been running low on ideas recently, and running even lower on things to use in my pantry. I know I haven't made a cookie recipe in a long time, so I figured I'd go down that road...but what ingredients to use? Well, I haven't made anything with coffee, so I figured that would be great! So, the outcome? Delicious Vanilla Latte Cookies that almost have perfect macros for a ketogenic diet! I ended up making 10 really large cookies from this batch (about 6 inches diameter), but you could ...

Thai Style Low Carb Peanut Chicken

Thai Style Low Carb Peanut Chicken

February 4, 2014 by 19 Comments

This is a beautiful dish that combines elements of earthy peanuts, acidic citrus, and umami; finishing off with a slightly sweet and spice from the chili. If you're a fan of Asian style peanut sauces (think satay), then you'll love this dish. Plus, it sits at just under four net carbs per serving! If you have the carb allowances for the day, you can pair this with a side of cauliflower fried rice to complete the meal. We chose broccoli, which when steamed al dente, adds a fantastic crunch ...

Spicy Pulled Pork Lettuce Wraps

Spicy Pulled Pork Lettuce Wraps

So I had the ribs that I made last week sitting in my fridge and I thought it was about time I put them to use. I figured a spicy, yet refreshing lettuce wrap would be awesome! And boy...was I right. These lettuce wraps pack a punch if you're using a hot chili paste. They're absolutely delicious and the fall off the bone tenderness of the meat just adds to the whole experience. In total this will make 6 whole lettuce wraps. What I did was cut each of the 6 lettuce wraps in half to create ...
