Pork Shiitake Stir Fry with “Quick Kimchi”

Pork Shiitake Stir Fry with “Quick Kimchi”

May 16, 2014 by 6 Comments

A delicious blend of Asian infused flavors come together to give you a delicious meal in under 30 minutes. From the tender, succulent pork to the tangy and spicy "Kimchi" that lays atop, everything works in unison to finish off your bite with a punch of umami. Definitely worth trying this one - and if you want to, you can even make the "Kimchi" previously and let it sit in the fridge overnight (or for a few days). The reason I put kimchi in quotes is because it's my own take on it, rather ...

Low Carb Microwave Hamburger Bun

Low Carb Microwave Hamburger Bun

So it's been dawning on me lately that I've really wanted a proper hamburger. Yeah, you can make those ultra thin buns with a whoppie pan, or you can even make a cupcake bun and cut it in half - but it's just not the same. Plus, you have to do so much work just for a few buns. I wanted something that I could throw together in a sinch and not have to worry about cleaning up, baking times, or any of that other stuff. Luckily, I've come up with a pretty good solution - hamburger mug bun, ...

Bacon, Red Pepper, and Mozzarella Frittata

Bacon, Red Pepper, and Mozzarella Frittata

I can't take full credit for this recipe, Gordon Ramsey definitely gave me inspiration with his bacon, red pepper, pea, and spring onion frittata. But, he didn't add enough fats for me so I manipulated the recipe a bit to allow for more fats (mushrooms help out with the absorption of those) to create an absolutely delicious breakfast or brunch for you to share and enjoy! Heck, even I don't want to share this, so if you're like me, you can just portion this out into 6 servings and eat it for ...

I'm really happy to announce that Ketofied! Comfort Foods Made Low Carb can now accept PayPal as a payment.

I just want to say thank you to everyone that got it, supports it, and supports the website! Now, on to the shrimp. These suckers are the perfect blend of "fanciness". ...

Are you getting tired of the oily frozen fat bombs that you've been making and constantly seeing around the internet? Well, I sure am. So I wanted to set out to give some new textures, flavors, and ways to get your fats in. These are a little more carby and less fatty than the pure oil fat bombs, but they taste SO much better that it's worth giving them a try. They come out to 83% fats, 5% carbs, and 8% protein which is still highly ketogenic in itself. Plus...they taste ah-may-zing. ...

Turkey Dinner with Homemade Gravy

May 3, 2014 by 2 Comments

When a special occasion comes along, be it a holiday or a family get together, you may want to bring a turkey out and roast it in the oven. That's what we do, anyway. It's a pretty easy way to feed everyone without too much work going on. I figured I'd share the turkey we did for Easter so you guys can get an idea of what you can do on special occasions too! The turkey came out great - very garlicly, very moist, and a fantastic gravy on the side. Not to mention I pretty much always do my ...
