Truth be told, I've never really had the opportunity to try tofu. It's always been on the list of things that seem like they'll be nasty if I tried them, or other people have told me the horror stories connected with it. But, I've got a pretty open mind and loved the idea of giving it a try with my own spin on it. Let me tell you - if you've never had tofu, or think you don't like it...you need to re-try it! Baked tofu is wonderful. Instead of the soft, gooey, flavorless mess that people ...

I've been on a binge of jalapeno popper stuff for a while now. Between my Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Popper Casserole and my Jalapeno Popper Fat Bombs, I really wanted to make something a bit different. Sometimes on keto we are forced to choose between easy and tasty - but that's the complete opposite when it comes to this recipe. Mug cakes are the perfect way to have a meal in just a few minutes. Mix all the ingredients together and put it in the microwave and you have an awesome cross between ...

Keto Pigs in a Blanket
January 28, 2015 by 3 Comments
Pigs in a Blanket were a staple in my household when I was growing up. If we held any get togethers for soccer games, we'd always have Pigs in a Blanket to serve to our guests. There's not too much I remember from when I was a kid, but these appetizers are definitely one memory I have. The sausage should be easily picked up in your local grocer. They have cocktail sausages, vienna sausages, or hotdogs you can cut up in place of regular Lit'l Smokies. Pick your favorite and use that. These ...

January 9, 2015 by 2 Comments
This is a great change in flavor from the regular meals I usually make that are rich and hearty. These meatballs are extremely fresh and flavorful in their own way, bringing the bell pepper and lime to the forefront of each and every bite. They were such a treat to have while the snow was blowing outside, reminding us that spring is just around the corner. You can even serve these as a party appetizer like I did by adding a dab of guacamole underneath the meatballs and then sticking a skewer ...

Keto Grilled Cheese Sandwich
August 4, 2014 by 46 Comments
The simplicity of a grilled cheese is what catches most people's eye. Warm, melty, gooey cheese spewing out the side of the crunchy and toasted bread. It's delicious, it beings us back to our childhood, and it's just a comfort food that you shouldn't have to go without. Thought you could never have that on a keto diet? Think again. I am basing the bread off of my hamburger bun recipe, which seemed to be a hit with a lot of people. Just keep in mind that if you do this in a square bowl or ...
