I no longer have to take any acid reflux meds

I thought I'd send you an update, along with pics taken last month after I'm down 30 pounds. I started back on a protein power type of low-carb diet on 1/17/15. For the next two months, I research a keto/lchf way of eating. I found your website and purchased the Keto Academy to get me started. Then around 3/17/15, I started doing a ketogenic WOE. In the two months prior I had lost 9 pounds, but wasn't happy with that way of eating. I love keto/lchf, which is a very satisfying way of ...

Low Carb Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Low Carb Sweet and Sour Meatballs

April 6, 2017 by 5 Comments

Loosely based on Chinese sweet and sour chicken, these sweet and sour meatballs are always an instant hit! I’ve made these when I wanted to make a quick tasty meal. Or, even if I’m going to a party and have to bring a dish to share. Just toss on top of some cauliflower rice for a complete meal, or serve the meatballs using some toothpicks for a snack. I wanted to create a simple meatball recipe to go with the sauce. I kept the meatballs simple by using parmesan cheese and onion powder to ...

What if I could give you a stuffed chicken recipe that has no rolling, no twine, no pounding with the mallet, and best of all - no hassle! This easy dinner recipe will fit the bill. The chicken breasts are sliced accordion style and then stuffed with spinach and cheeses. Then it's topped with tomato sauce and mozzarella, and put under the broiler to get brown and goey. This recipe is based off a chicken recipe that a family member taught me. She would use thinly sliced chicken breasts to ...

Here are some of my before and after shots. Wow - I barely recognize that "before" lady anymore! I've lost 25 pounds, and the great news? I'm only halfway there! I'm gonna lose another 25! In the past, I would be at a point where I'd give up now. I'd be missing the "old" foods, and I'd be looking in the mirror and seeing such a difference and feeling like I've hit that "I look good enough" stage. I'd be tired of eating in a restricted way. I'd be craving craving craving and wondering ...

Keto Gyros

I had a craving the other day for some nice, big, Gyro sandwiches. You know the ones I'm talking about: hot fluffy bread stuffed with thinly shaved meat, veggies, and of course that yogurt sauce. I'm not even sure what the best part of a Gyro is, they're so good. So I created this keto friendly version that makes use of our coconut flour tortilla recipe. You can easily bake the meat in your oven, so you do not need to own a rotisserie. The meat mixture is put through a food processor in ...

March 28, 2017 by 1 Comment

Here's a buttery roasted chicken dinner that you can put together with ease. First I'll show you how to get your bird trussed for roasting, then we'll give the chicken a nice butter massage. We'll use fresh herbs like oregano and thyme, as well as dried marjoram and parsley, to infuse the meat with flavor. Then, before the last stretch of the roasting process, we'll throw some Brussels sprouts into pan as well. It's a one pan meal! I don't know about you guys, but I have had a very hard ...

It all started November 2014 with boimetrics testing for our health insurance. After getting my results, I just wanted to cry. I want to be healthy for myself and my kids. I've tried every diet imaginable with little to no success. February 2015 I did a lot of research on ketogenic lifestyle and started to make a change. I use ruled.me to figure my macro nutrients and I LOVE the recipes! I try at least 1 new recipe a week, being a busy working mother of 2. At my heaviest in February I started at ...

Keto Mississippi Roast

Keto Mississippi Roast

March 23, 2017 by 28 Comments

This keto Mississippi roast can be shoved in your slow cooker early in the day for a hands free but tasty dinner. The shredded beef is punched up with peppery flavors and peperoncinis that almost melt into the meat. There are a number of recipes for this roast style on the internet, but I created this version to not use any spice packages. You can use ingredients that you probably have in your pantry already. I also like to use the sliced peppers instead of the whole peppers. Family ...

Easy Keto Cordon Bleu

March 21, 2017 by 9 Comments

This recipe is quick, so it's the perfect dinner to whip up on those busy weeknights. I've taken the classic chicken cordon bleu recipe and reformatted it to be keto friendly and easy to prepare. I really like this dish because the flavor combo of ham, Swiss, Dijon mustard, and chicken are hard to beat. I also love that even though this recipe uses chicken breasts and bakes them in the oven - they come out nice and juicy. With a typical cordon bleu you might worry about creating a ...

This Ultimate Cheeseburger Loaf is cheeseburger heaven on a plate. It’s like one enormous cheeseburger! The filling is ground beef seasoned with onions, garlic, and a bit of Worcestershire sauce. Traditional cheeseburger toppings like yellow mustard, tangy dill pickles and red onion are layered over the ground beef filling. The whole thing is smothered with mounds of cheddar cheese, then wrapped up in a delicious and filling pastry to create mouthwatering perfection. Yep, this recipe is a ...
