December 7, 2015 by 8 Comments

Cauliflower is one of the most versatile vegetables on a ketogenic diet, and definitely should be included in every pantry out there. It can get carby when you use a bunch of it, but when you use it as a side item, stuffing, or part of another recipe - it's definitely a bright addition to any dish.Today, we're making cauliflower risotto. I'm sure by now you've tried cauliflower rice and realized that with a bit of TLC, it can be turned into just about anything (pizza crusts, rice, crunch ...

Keto Mushroom Wild Rice Pilaf

Keto Mushroom Wild Rice Pilaf

June 13, 2015 by 17 Comments

Okay, okay, before you get angry and say that wild rice pilaf isn't keto - we're definitely not using wild rice in this recipe. We're using shelled hemp heart seeds to mimic this taste and texture, and boy does it do a good job. I grabbed these hemp seeds when I first heard about them and immediately knew I was going to do a rice type of dish. I highly recommend grabbing a pack to try out yourself!The slightly crunchy, slightly al dente texture really gives off a vibe of a couscous or a wild ...

Easy Keto Creamed Spinach

June 8, 2015 by 24 Comments

I love having frozen spinach on hand for those nights where I want a quick, easy, and tasty side dish to go with what I'm making. Since I've been trying to focus on mainly easy recipes, I thought creamed spinach was a perfect addition to that list. It's rich, it's savory, and it has a delicious thick and creamy texture.As a kid, I never really liked the stuff - I mean, who liked spinach back then anyway? I thought it was disgusting when my parents made it for themselves, but over time I ...

Easy Creamy Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

Easy Creamy Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

April 27, 2015 by 16 Comments

Mashed Cauliflower was never a selling point for me when it came to eating vegetables. I didn't like the idea, and I didn't think the taste was that great. But, I was missing out for a long time.This recipe is super simple, and extremely tasty! It takes about 8 minutes to make, from start to finish, and is one of the creamiest, rich, and super flavorful side dishes. I love serving it whenever I have a nice steak (like this amazing reverse seared ribeye), or some stuffed pork chops.The ...

Keto Tater Tots

Keto Tater Tots

April 20, 2015 by 21 Comments

Tater Tots were an obsession of mine as a kid. Ever since my mom used to buy them, they'd always be requested by me in place of mashed potatoes. They're crispy, they're crunchy, and they're just plain good. Being that I'm keto now, I decided to take it upon myself to delve into the creativity of my childhood and re-create this favorite of mine with keto tater tots.You definitely won't miss the potato here, and unlike many other cauliflower goods - you can't actually taste much of the ...

Fried Kale Sprouts

Fried Kale Sprouts

Usually I would say that Kale Chips are a bit on the carby side when it comes to eating vegetables in a crunchy form. But, these kale sprouts that just came out at Trader Joe's are awesome! They have part of the bulb included in the sprout, so there is much more fiber than with a kale leaf alone - with only 6g net carbs for the whole bag. That means that each portion only has 1.5g net carbs!The texture of these are great. It's something similar to that of an oven-baked kale chip on the ...

Are you not too big a fan of broccoli? Do your kids moan and groan when you're telling them what their side dish for dinner is? Worry no more! With a handy deep fat fryer, you can turn broccoli into a treat that everybody will love. The texture of these broccoli and cheese fritters are crunchy on the outside, and decadently soft and melty on the inside. The taste is delicious and full-bodied, and you'll be asking yourself why you didn't do this sooner.I got a new deep fat fryer for ...

Keto Breadsticks

Keto Breadsticks

January 19, 2015 by 35 Comments

Today I decided to do breadsticks in three different ways: Italian style, extra cheesy, and cinnamon sugar. Two savory flavors which taste absolutely delicious just dipped in some tomato sauce (I use Rao's), and one sweet flavor which tastes fantastic dipped in a cream cheese buttercream (1 oz. Cream Cheese, 2 tbsp. Heavy Cream, and 1 tbsp. Swerve Sweetener).I based this recipe for the breadsticks on the same dough that's used in both the Low Carb Pepperoni Pizza and the Keto Roti John. This ...

With another journey through food to Asia, we meet up with the Begedil. Also known as the Perkedel in Indonesia, these are traditionally made with mashed potatoes and deep-fried. Very commonly, you can find these in the night market (pasar malam) or small stalls along the street (garai).You can eat them on their own with a dipping sauce like mayonnaise and chili paste, or you can serve them in a clear soup/stew (usually Soto, or a noodle soup) like they are traditionally served.You ...
