My quest for a basket of meat to put things in is still not over. This one came much closer to what I was searching for - it isn't on the money, but it is damn tasty! I won't be satisfied until something of epic proportions comes out of the kitchen. You can see my last "basket" attempts, 1 successful and 1 very tasty "failure". These aren't really 1 biters, but they sure as heck are worth making! They're a little labour intensive for one person to eat, but if you are wanting to impress ...

Keto Bites: Grilled Ham & Cheese
Being on a ketogenic diet can have its downfalls at times. Not being able to eat our favorite foods, our comfort foods, or the sweets we may crave. It takes willpower, but there's always a way to get around it. Adapting and experimenting always yields results in the kitchen, and this time I'm aiming for a low carb grilled ham and cheese. Don't you miss it? The first bite you take out of that crisp bread and you can actually hear the crunch of the top and bottom layers cracking beneath the ...

Keto Bites: Asian Pork & Shrimp
I've always liked the idea of eating food with my hands. Being able to pick something up and eat it without mess is a luxury most of us overlook. It's easy, convenient, and can be mobile when needed. I'd imagine pretty much anybody could make these. They're really simple and I got most of the prep out of the way hours ahead of time. The hardest thing here is cutting everything up, and that's one of the easiest things to do! While it is a bit time consuming to cut things, it's well worth the ...

Keto Bites: Sausage, Bacon & Egg Baskets
I've been having this notion in my mind that I must create some sort of vessel to stuff things inside. My first thought was to make a basket out of bacon, but as you saw in my previous recipe, it didn't work as I thought it would. This time I figured I'd add sausage, and it seems to have worked! I was going to add a binder, but I didn't see it necessary since it stuck together with fat after a grind in the food processor. A food processor is a great tool to have around the kitchen. You can ...

“Kitchen Sink” Low Carb Pizza
It's that time of year when I do a cleaning out of the fridge. Things that have been sitting at the back, behind all your favorite sauces, those things you don't even remember? Yep, we're going to make a pizza out of that! Pizza, you say? But does it actually hold up without falling and crumbling into a thousand pieces? It definitely does! I had some bacon that was starting to discolor, some creamy spinach dip that was just about to expire, and a can of chicken that I needed to get rid ...

Spiced Bacon Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs are an extremely versatile food. You can serve them as an appetizer, a breakfast, or even for lunch. They're delicious one-biters and will please almost anyone you give them to. I've not met many people who don't like bacon and eggs (besides vegetarians/vegans). The moment you put them in your mouth, the rosemary hits you - filling your mouth with an herbaceous aroma and taste. As you chew, the dijon and bacon comes through, refreshing your entire palette. The egg whites start to ...

Bacon Wrapped Low Carb Scotch Eggs
I've had a lot of bacon and eggs on hand lately, and by a lot I mean 48 eggs and 5 pounds of bacon. I need to use it up, and I figured I would start making eggs and bacon only, for the next few days. Trying to create some new ways to enjoy these guys, instead of the old bacon and scrambled eggs. Scotch eggs are a fantastic treat, and while it's hard not wanting to gulp down a dark ale while I'm eating one (or three) of these, they're still a delicacy I haven't encountered for years. The ...

Bacon Crusted Frittata Muffins
These are one of my favorite things to cook; they're easy, pretty fast, and they save extremely well. Cook them in bulk and then you have breakfast for the entire week! When I cooked these, I tried 2 different methods of making the bacon basket. The way listed below had the best results - with the others, the eggs leaked completely through to the sides and the bacon curled up as it was cooking - making it more of a frittata keto muffin with a curl of bacon in the middle. They save ...
