I've been a fan of Hot Sausage and Pepper Soup for a long time. Even when I started the website, that was one of the first recipes I posted (so don't be in too much shock when you see a cell phone picture - oh, how we've come a long way). Since then, I wanted to bring the carb counts down two-fold for the recipe. Re-vamping it made an old favorite into a new, lower carb version. We've replaced all of the onion with onion powder, added a bit more meat to round out the fattiness, and taken ...

Jalapeno Popper Mug Cake
I've been on a binge of jalapeno popper stuff for a while now. Between my Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Popper Casserole and my Jalapeno Popper Fat Bombs, I really wanted to make something a bit different. Sometimes on keto we are forced to choose between easy and tasty - but that's the complete opposite when it comes to this recipe. Mug cakes are the perfect way to have a meal in just a few minutes. Mix all the ingredients together and put it in the microwave and you have an awesome cross between ...

Fried Kale Sprouts
Usually I would say that Kale Chips are a bit on the carby side when it comes to eating vegetables in a crunchy form. But, these kale sprouts that just came out at Trader Joe's are awesome! They have part of the bulb included in the sprout, so there is much more fiber than with a kale leaf alone - with only 6g net carbs for the whole bag. That means that each portion only has 1.5g net carbs! The texture of these are great. It's something similar to that of an oven-baked kale chip on the ...

Keto Tortilla Chips
Imagine if you went to Taco Bell right now and ordered a chalupa, then came home and deep fried it. Now, imagine if that same chalupa was low-carb and keto friendly. This is what the keto tortilla chips reminded me of. An exceptional cross-breed baby between a regular tortilla chip and a bready, soft chalupa. For the original flaxseed tortilla recipe, I used curry powder originally. It's up to you to season with whatever you'd like. This time I chose garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and ...

Jalapeno Popper Fat Bombs
I've had quite the love of jalapeno poppers over the last few months, and I wanted a super simple way to get my favorite flavors of a jalapeno popper in the form of a quick snack. These little jalapeno popper fat bombs can pretty much be carried anywhere, and snacked on as needed to bring your fats up throughout the day. The flavor of these are exactly what you'd expect - a bit spicy (add jalapeno seeds inside if you want more spiciness), very creamy and rich, and packed full of bacon flavor. ...

I wanted to make something extra special for Valentine's Day. This year, my girlfriend has really been craving donuts after seeing them over and over at markets, coffee shops and sports games.

These donuts are just the perfect amount of crisp on the outside, but soft and fluffy on the inside. If you've been missing out on chocolate, worry no more. ChocoPerfection is a ...

Low-Carb Chicken Curry
Probably one of the easiest Malaysian curries, Ayam Masak Lemak has been turned low-carb! It's missing a few high-carb ingredients from the original style, but this speaks for itself in terms of flavor. Directly translated: Ayam means chicken, Masak means cook, and Lemak means fat. So it means chicken cook fat. Typically when something is described as lemak (fat), it means the dish is creamy. Originally, Masak Lemak refers to a protein that's cooked in coconut milk and turmeric. The "fat" ...
