What’s better than sipping on some nice hot soup on a cold winter day? Nothing. So I created a nice creamy, roasted, soup that is just for those days when you want to sit next to the fire while curled up with a book. The best part about this roasted red pepper soup is that it is incredibly easy to make and takes roughly 20 to 30 minutes from start to finish. I thickened this delicious dish with xanthan gum, but the roasted red peppers also helps it to thicken. I really enjoy a nice ...

Eating the same old tuna salad in a romaine lettuce leaf has quickly risen to the top of my list of, "Things I never want to have for lunch again."

I blame my mother for packing my tuna salad sandwiches for lunch every Friday of my childhood. So there I was, packing tuna and mayo in a lettuce leaf or on a salad and hating my lunch…until now! Utilizing the simplicity of canned ...

One of my all-time favorite appetizers has always been loaded potato skins. I still get cravings for that combination of cheese, sour cream and bacon. If you want to adhere to the vegetarian lifestyle while remaining keto, the solution is all in the seasoning! I love using chopped mushrooms in place of bacon bits. As you know, we eat with our eyes so appearance is everything. When seasoned and cooked properly mushrooms can fool, or at least entice, most of my carnivorous friends. Smoked ...

One of the best things to do on a frosty day is sit back and enjoy a nice cup of tomato soup, but with all the sugar added in store bought cans, it’s hard to find one to eat while keto.

However, you could also make it with canned halved tomatoes, but you’d need to run the soup through a blender to make it nice and smooth. This soup is ...

The beauty in a galette is that they don’t have to be beautiful to be delicious. In fact, the more rustic they look, the fancier the appear. This imperfect crust method is great for gluten free baking because it’s so forgiving in its looks and versatile in the fillings. You could go with a sweet “dessert” galette and fill it with low-carb fruits, or even a sweetened cream cheese filling, but today I want to share a cheese filled savory variety that will make you think you’re eating a the real ...
