My family traditionally has roast lamb for Easter, which is fine with me because I love the stuff. Normally, we don't have lamb too often other than the few celebratory holiday's and occasional feasts. Instead of doing an oven roast, I wanted to do it in the slow cooker to keep the stress levels down of everyone around. The meat ended up being super tender, almost fall apart in the mouth, with some great fat from the leg to supplement the leg too. That last hour where you add the thyme and ...

Cinnamon Orange Souffle
April 12, 2014 by 2 Comments
Today is a little bit about re-purposing foods. Some people don't always like what they end up with, so instead of throwing it in the trash you can try to come up with new and creative ideas to re-purpose your food into something else. Now don't get me wrong, the cinnamon orange scones were absolutely delicious, but I just wanted to make something else with them. I typically look at scones as some kind of breakfast pastry I'd have with my coffee, while I'd look at a souffle as a nice dessert ...

Low Carb Cinnamon Orange Scones
April 9, 2014 by 23 Comments
When I was growing up in England, scones were a staple in my house. But, they didn't have these fancy triangular shapes; rather, they were round, podgy pieces of dough that you cut in half and stick double cream and jam inside. I've become Americanized since though, and wanted to create something that most of the US folks have seen (and like). Triangles or not, scones are definitely a delicious pastry to enjoy with your morning coffee :) I just have to make a confession to everyone and first ...

Cheesy Thyme Waffles
April 6, 2014 by 4 Comments
Definitely not the prettiest dish of the bunch, but I just had to post this one. For me, while looks are quite important most of the time, taste reigns supreme at the end of the day. This dish hits the nail on the head when it comes to taste. Time to get our cheese on...waffle style! The distinct flavor of cauliflower is knocked down into a subtle flavor you can easily handle with the crisp, almost burnt cheese on the outside and the rich, creamy flavors on the inside. The thyme, garlic, and ...

Fresh Chicken and Bacon Patties
April 4, 2014 by 4 Comments
This is a dish that you can whip up in a pinch with ingredients you already have. Chicken, bacon, eggs, cheese, and peppers are staples of a ketogenic diet. The taste of fresh bell peppers alongside smoky bacon will leave you looking forward to the leftovers! These chicken patties are the perfect savory recipe for a chicken, bacon, and ranch salad or placed inside one of my almond buns with lettuce and that sweet, sweet sriracha (also known as nectar of the gods). They're also versatile ...

My name is Tracy Daubert, and I am a 23 year old Early Learning Educator. I can honestly say that I have always struggled with my weight, even in my early years.

Kim’s 140 Pound Transformation
April 2, 2014 by 15 Comments
This is the story of Kim, one of the very inspirational stories that come across us at Ketogenic Living Facebook Group. Take it away Kim! I've been overweight my entire life. I can remember "doing" the Atkins diet when I was 5 or 6 years old, back when it first came out in 1972, with my mom. I spent my whole life either on a "diet", or all out binging. I just never found a happy medium where I could maintain my weight loss and change my lifestyle. In November of 2012, I found out I was ...
