It's naturally crisp and crunchy, it holds together like a regular slice of pizza, and it actually tastes like the real deal. So, if you've never had the chance to try it yet, definitely take this opportunity to do it for dinner! It's really fast to make, too - which makes it a perfect medium for someone with a busy life. And you might be thinking about the leftovers? Yep, it does fantastic in the fridge and I'd even argue that it tastes better cold. You know, I've tried many, many pizza ...
Low Carb Pork Pies
Growing up in England taught me a valuable lesson in life: if you can eat it, you can make a pie out of it. Every bakery that you step foot in will have meat stuffed pies, sweet pies, cheese and onion pies, pretty much any kind of ingredient you can think of - stuffed in a pie. So I took a little note from my heritage and made a classic pork pie. These flavors usually come together pretty commonly in irish cooking, especially with pork (though we're missing the stout), and will give you ...

Chicken Enchilada Soup
A hearty and delicious soup that's fit for anyone that likes a bit of spice, creaminess, and chunks of fantastic ingredients spread throughout each and every bite. A soup that captures all of the flavors of an enchilada, without the tortilla and added carbs - perfect for anyone on a ketogenic diet! It's preferred that you make your own chicken stock from leftover bones you have, but if you're in a pinch of time, you can go with College Inn broth or more expensive (organic) broth over at Whole ...

Korean BBQ Beef Stuffed Bell Peppers
When I did my Stuffed Poblano Peppers the other day, it was a love affair that I wanted to keep in the dark - but couldn't. Peppers are a fantastic vessel for carrying delicious meat while keeping the fats inside and easy to eat. Not to mention, they add so much color and vibrancy to the plate that you just want to dig in! Who doesn't love Korean BBQ flavors? Sweet, spicy, sticky, and absolutely delicious to eat. The ginger, garlic, and spicy chili sauce really elevate the beef to become ...

Crispy Chipotle Chicken Thighs
Chicken is always something you have to scrutinize when on a ketogenic diet. From the high protein content to the low fat content, it's something that most of us opt out of using as a staple in our diets. But, my question is why? Chicken thighs are a delicious piece of poultry that come with an added skin that you can crisp up yourself. This adds not only a great texture in every bite, but also the ability to bring tons of flavor that chicken so easily absorbs. Cooking these skin side down in ...

Low Carb Pasta a la Carbonara
So, what if I were to tell you that the pasta you see above is actually low carb and fits well into the keto lifestyle? I know, I was gob-smacked too! Pasta and rice have always been the 2 true things that I miss on keto. Cauliflower rice does the trick (especially when fried, mmmm) for one part, but the keto pasta I never figured out. Zoodles, shirataki noodles, kelp noodles...none of them ever did the trick for me. The resemblance was there, but the taste and texture were never there. These ...

Low Carb Moroccan Meatballs
Lamb is one of the most distinct meats for me, flavor wise, and love to get my hands on it when I can. Of course it's expensive, so it's a once in a while type of love affair. Today, we're going to make some Moroccan Meatballs - the flavors of the Mediterranean paired with the fresh mint, cilantro, and thyme that are all so prevalent in Moroccan cooking. If you've had lamb at a Mediterranean or even middle eastern restaurant, you'll know exactly what this tastes like. It tastes just like ...

Cauliflower Cheddar Bacon Casserole
Casseroles are something I don't do too often, just because I prefer not to freeze too much food - but I had a bunch of stuff laying around in my kitchen and had no clue what to do with it. Casseroles are pretty handy to do once a month, to clean up any food that might be going bad and combine a ton of flavors into one compact meal. This turned out exactly as you'd expect - very flavorful meats through each bite, extreme amounts of cheese, and a delicious crunch from the cauliflower. If ...
