Kim’s 140 Pound Transformation

Kim’s 140 Pound Transformation

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 ...

Keto Buckeye Cookies

Oof, it's been a while since I've written a recipe! My apologies guys - I've been doing a lot of work on the next cookbook. It should be out in a few more weeks, so keep an eye out (spoiler alert, tons of fusion recipes)! So, the last week I made some inside out buckeye cookies (converted from a non-keto recipe) at the request of on the the members in the Ketogenic Living Facebook group. She said if I could make them, she'd love me forever, so here's me ode to getting loved ...

Low Carb Chicken Satay

Low Carb Chicken Satay

As you all know, I love Asian inspired recipes...but most of the time they just take forever to prepare. I wanted to set out to get a soft peanut butter taste that paired well with the salty and umami flavors that soy brings to the table. I think this one hit the spot! It brings all the savory, sweet, and acidic element you look for in an asian dish - then adds some crunch and color on the top with peppers and onions. Start to finish in less than 20 minutes is not something you can bat ...

Cumin Sesame Lemon Mug Cake

Cumin Sesame Lemon Mug Cake

Cumin is one of my all-time favorite spices to use with meat, but without the meat portion it seems weird to use. I had to come up with something that could accent the earthy qualities needed for cumin, while still playing a role in the recipe. Sesame seeds definitely do the trick!

Cumin Crusted Pork Chops

Cumin Crusted Pork Chops

Who can resist a crispy pork chop that's tender and juicy in the middle? You'll have some great eastern flavors coming together in this dish and I'm sure you'll be adding this one to your meal plan! I highly suggest cutting this into thin strips once the pork has been resting for at least 7 minutes after cooking. That way you aren't overwhelmed with the spices. The fragrant hints of cumin are instant when this touches your mouth. Once you start to chew, the crispy texture of the crust comes ...

Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Mug Cake

Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Mug Cake

Fresh, delicious, and unique. These are the 3 words I'd use to describe this mug cake. Tomato is a fantastic thing that can bring mositure, taste, and a unique sense of flavor to a dish. If you missed out on the last mug cakes, check them out: Of course you don't have to serve this with a slice of tomato, but it does really seal the deal when you're finished. A nice crisp small piece of tomato to get that "I need something fresh" out of your mind. This mug cake is extremely ...

Chocolate Covered Maple Pecan Bacon

Chocolate Covered Maple Pecan Bacon

I know I'm giving you the run over on the mug cakes this week but I figured you'd want to get this made ASAP because it's just too good to not make! This stuff was handed down from the heavens as far as I'm concerned, and I won't judge if you end up stocking this up on trays in your fridge. The only qualm I have with this stuff is that the chocolate melts pretty quick because it's mostly made up of fat...but who the heck cares? Are you going to be holding this stuff for more than 10 seconds? ...

Green Chile Cheddar Mug Cake

Green Chile Cheddar Mug Cake

In a perfect world we could just make all of our meals in a mug, take 5 minutes out of our day for the food we consume, and be on our merry way to more important things. Though, mug cakes won't always get that craving for meat out of your head, they are still an awesome meal replacement for anyone who's in a rush. If you missed out on the last mug cake, it was a good one so make sure to check it out. Bacon, Cheddar & Chive - yep, I did that. You can easily pre-pack the ingredients ...
