Chinese Style Slow-Cooked Pork Hock

Chinese Style Slow-Cooked Pork Hock

An extremely tasty dish that was created by MidnightTokr over at Reddit. He describes the dish as very savory, where its characteristic flavor from the five-spice and shitake mushrooms blend nicely with the sweet and saltiness of the soy sauce. He says that the sauce goes great over steamed vegetables, like broccoli, because it will absorb all the flavor. He also enjoys this with cauliflower rice. He also added, which not necessary, he recommends to add the pork back to the sauce after ...

Low Carb Crispy Fried Chicken

Low Carb Crispy Fried Chicken

Remember those Cheddar and Bacon BBQ Meatballs that I made the other day? Well, I had leftover pork rinds from crushing them up - so I decided that I would make some fried chicken with it. Surprisingly (well, I had my suspicions anyway) it turned out really awesome! It's a great breading for fried chicken, it holds together and sticks, and tastes fantastic. My one quip about this, is to make sure that you don't use a food processor to crush up the pork rinds. I used a rolling pin to ...

Cheesy Cheese Pizza Crust Pizza

Cheesy Cheese Pizza Crust Pizza

I found this recipe on a low carb site and decided to try it out for myself. It looked like it might work, but I definitely had my doubts. I mean a cheese pizza crust made out of cream cheese? Seemed farfetched. In reality? This cheesy cheese pizza crust actually turned out pretty awesome. Granted, when it's hot, it doesn't hold it's form so great. But when you let it cool down and solidify a bit, it makes a great pizza crust! It might be a little bit garlic-y for your taste, so if ...

Low Carb Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies

Low Carb Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies

I've been making a lot of sweets lately, and I am starting to get tired of them. Weird huh? I guess I have no sweet tooth anymore, I much prefer the savory side of things. I wanted to make something different, and stumbled on a recipe for some spicy cookies. Sounded good to me, as I know chocolate and spice can pair up really well together - let's just say these Mexican hot chocolate cookies turned out great. I was really pleased with them, despite my recent grudges with coconut flour. The ...

Zesty Keto Italian Dressing

Zesty Keto Italian Dressing

This recipe is very similar to my honey vinaigrette recipe. In fact, I just add the herb mix that I keep on hand to the honey vinaigrette if I already have that keto salad dressing made. Also, like the honey vinaigrette, this recipe develops its flavor over time. For this reason, I recommend you make it a day or two in advance. But like all of the recipes in our condiment section, it's still delicious even without waiting! I figure if I'm going to get all of those herbs out, I might as well ...

Easy Keto Honey Vinaigrette

Easy Keto Honey Vinaigrette

This is the first homemade keto salad dressing I ever made. We use it quite a bit at our house. In fact, I never even refrigerate it, because it's usually gone within two weeks time (though I've had it last as long as a month). I mean, if you think about it, all of the ingredients are shelf stable. Why wouldn't they continue to be when mixed together? Also, I use raw honey, which is both antibacterial and antimicrobial. I figure I've got it covered either way. However, you can certainly store ...

Catalina Style Dressing

Catalina Style Dressing

I love being able to whip up a keto salad dressing from scratch with my emulsion blender! Even if I don't have my homemade ketchup on hand for this recipe, it only takes a few minutes more to make it first. Keeping my fermented ketchup or mayo (which last quite a while) on hand really makes this a cinch! They are the base for most of my salad dressings. The Catalina is one of our favorites. It has a tangy sweet taste that is both subtle and rich. It goes well with just about any kind of salad ...

Cocktail Sauce Keto-Style

Cocktail Sauce Keto-Style

This is a great condiment to have on hand when seafood is on the menu. The richness of the homemade ketchup I use takes the flavor level up another notch. My favorite kind of recipe: quick and easy! Makes 1 ½ cups (24 tablespoons) Keto-Style Cocktail Sauce The Preparation 1 cup sugar-free ketchup 1/3 cup prepared horseradish ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons lemon juice ¼ teaspoon Frank's hot sauce The Execution 1. Put all ingredients into emulsion blender ...

Thousand Island Dressing

Thousand Island Dressing

Of all of the ketogenic salad dressings I make, this has to be our favorite. I mean, they all taste like our favorite when we're eating them, but if I had to choose one it would be this one. It has that depth the homemade mayonnaise and ketchup gives it, that subtle sweetness from the stevia, that tiny crunch of pickle and onion, and somewhere in the background a hint of tartness from the apple cider vinegar that all combines to put it over the top. I really hope you'll give this dressing a ...
