Keto and casseroles seem to go hand in hand when you think about the type of high-fat foods that are being included. All of the cheeses you're able to use create an ooey, gooey texture that everyone can enjoy. Whether you're a working mom, a college student, or you just want an easy meal - this casserole will get the job done! This is my Southwestern-esque take on Shepherd's Pie. It's got a great heat coming through from the chili seasoning, a good balance of acidity and sweetness from the ...
Keto Kung Pao Chicken
If you all didn't know by now, Asian food is in one of my favorite categories of food. Prior to keto, grabbing take-out was the time of the week I looked forward to the most. From Sweet and Sour Chicken to Grilled Short Ribs, I've tried to recreate as many favorites as I can into keto friendly recipes that everyone can enjoy. Kung Pao Chicken is traditionally a spicy stir fry made with chicken, peanuts, vegetables, and chili peppers. It normally calls for Sichuan peppercorns, but since they ...

Keto Coconut Curry Chicken Tenders
If you've ever been a fan of coconut shrimp, this recipe's for you! The classic coconut shrimp gets a twist with chicken and a deep curry flavor that runs throughout. To match alongside it, we pair pork rinds with the chicken to bring the flavors out and allow for a crispy chicken tender. Never thought you'd have crunchy on keto? Think again. To make the flavors of the chicken nuggets really sing, I decided that a dipping sauce was absolutely mandatory for this. A sweet and spicy mango ...

Asian Grilled Keto Short Ribs
As most of you know, I'm a huge fan of Asian food and flavors. Surprisingly, I've never had flanken cut short ribs (most familiar with the Korean style short ribs). I found them in the supermarket a few weeks back and grabbed some to try. I have to tell you - they are well worth it! They're not too expensive, they're extremely tender and delicious, and best of all - packed full of fats. I didn't have any Kimchi on hand, so I served with some purple cabbage, cilantro and a soy/vinegar ...

Keto BBQ Chicken Pizza (Dairy Free Crust)
If you want to keep the toppings dairy free, there are many nut-based cheese alternatives that you can make. From macadamia nut spreads to cultured "cream cheese" made from coconut cream, a quick search online will give you tons of results to try out. Though they will be slightly higher carb, they can still be used as a substitute. I based this off of the crust that's from my 5 Minute Pizza recipe. Although this one will take longer than 5 minutes, it gives a viable way to make flatbread ...

Cheese Stuffed Bacon Cheeseburger
We're continuing on with ketogenic recipes that are simple, easy, and have been staples of mine over the last 6 years. Generally speaking, keto does demand a bit more time in the kitchen than most other diets. You can't just throw some store-bought meal into the oven or microwave, and it's very hard to really enjoy the food when you make the same thing every day. The other day, we were craving burgers - so I thought making one of my old favorites would be perfect to showcase, especially ...

5 Minute Keto Pizza
I think I'm known as "The Psyllium Husk Guy" by now. I love the stuff - I find it fascinating what textures, flavors, and new creations I can make with it. It's definitely changed my keto cooking, and this is no different. We use the absorptive power of psyllium husk to give us an extremely fast cooking pizza crust - and essentially an entire pizza in just about 5 minutes. Nowadays keto and pizza can go hand in hand (just take a peek at this Pepperoni Pizza), but it's usually a timely process ...

Perfectly Crisp Baked Chicken Wings
I've made plenty of wings in the past, and though they were semi-crisp, I wanted them really crisp. The same sensation you get when deep frying - the crunch that really leaves a lasting impression after every bite you take. That's the crisp I wanted. And now I've got it - in the oven! Now, a lot of extra steps go into making these chicken wings - but I must say that it's well worth it. You have to plan ahead, and won't be able to make them anytime, but for the times when you plan, it ...

Keto Thai Chicken Flatbread Pizza
My girlfriend has been begging me to make a keto copycat of her favorite pizza: the Thai Chicken Pizza from California Pizza Kitchen. Though I've never had it before, I love experimenting with Thai style flavors, and thought this would be a really great treat to have! Of course, I'm using the same pizza base as the pepperoni pizza many of you have tried on the site - though we make it a little bit flatter and opt to go for the flatbread shape. All said and done, it was a magnificent keto ...

Reverse Seared Ribeye Steak
This is by far the best method for tender steak you will ever use. Both my girlfriend and I agreed that this was the best steak we've both ever eaten, be it from a restaurant or at home. It's opened my eyes and I don't think I'll ever be making a steak any other way. The thing I love most about this method is that you don't get any rings on the internal cook of the meat. You don't have half an inch of well-done meat from the hard sear, it's a perfectly rare (or whatever temperature you take ...
