Artichokes with Keto-Friendly Anchovy Mayonnaise

Artichokes with Keto-Friendly Anchovy Mayonnaise

June 28, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Artichokes are a low calorie and nutrient-dense vegetable. It is a good source of magnesium (we need that in keto!) and antioxidants. Artichokes do not take much to prepare.  All you need is a pot of salted boiling water. It is great for "keto-on-the-go" because cooking can be finished the night before. Make sure though, to let it cool completely and keep it covered in the refrigerator. No reheating necessary but, if you must, a microwave will do. Tender artichoke petals is a good ...

Baked Brie with a Keto Crust

Baked Brie with a Keto Crust

June 5, 2018 by Leave a Comment

One of my favorite cheeses is baked brie. A while ago a friend had a party, and one of the appetizers was a baked brie wrapped in phyllo dough. It looked delicious, so I knew I had to make a keto version with cheesy dough. For this recipe, I also added in some bacon bits and a few tablespoons of chopped, sauteed mushrooms, which took this baked brie to the next level. You don’t have to use both of those though; it would still be incredibly delicious with caramelized onions and pancetta, ...

Instant Pot Artichoke Dip

Instant Pot Artichoke Dip

May 3, 2018 by 2 Comments

This artichoke and spinach dip is just like your favorite restaurant appetizer, but you can make this one at home in just a few minutes. Chopped artichoke hearts and spinach are mixed into an ultra cheesy, and super filling dip. Don't have an Instant Pot? That's OK! You can also put this in the slower cooker on low for a few hours, or even just cook it on the stove. I like using the Instant Pot more because it's faster and easier to clean. I used Swiss cheese in this dip because I like ...

There is nothing better than a hot, cheesy dip, and this one is no exception. Whisk this creamy dip out of the bowl with pork rinds or celery sticks. It's packed full of salty bacon, cheddar cheese, and fresh chunks of tomato. While this is a great recipe to whip up for parties, I like serving this when we're just home catching up on our favorite shows too. It's a quick crowd pleaser, and people will definitely ask you for this recipe! Instead of baking in the oven, feel free to cook ...

I know you'll love these delicious, creamy, little low carb treats wrapped in bacon. Creamy pesto stuffed mushrooms wrapped in streaky bacon were such a hit with the entire family. They are so simple to make, I just wish I had tried this earlier. With only 282 calories per serving, and 2.8 net carbs, these stuffed mushrooms can be used many ways. They are also relatively low in protein which is great for using as a quick lunch perhaps, especially if you want a bigger portion of protein at ...

Pimento Cheese Dip

Pimento Cheese Dip

January 18, 2018 by 1 Comment

I have a new found love for sweet chilli peppers such as pimento (also known as cherry peppers). They are sweet, spicy, and best yet only 2 carbs per pepper! I recently tried pimento cheese on a burger and I figured...it was time to make it into a dip! This recipe only has 4 ingredients and is incredibly easy to make. In fact, the hardest part was finding the peppers. Now, I couldn’t find any raw pimento peppers, so instead, I picked up a pack (10 pcs) of stuffed cherry antipasto. You ...

Whether summer is in full swing or we are in the depths of a winter freeze, asparagus is always on my menu! There are so many versatile ways to prepare those sturdy green stalks. My absolute favorite way is crispy baked asparagus fries! Yes, I said fries. On keto. Keto-fries. These babies are crispy and cheesy on the outside, but still easy enough to bite into. Fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese add a tangy, bright, dimension that is given a little body with smoked paprika. I love to ...

Bacon & Cheese Cauliflower Muffins

Bacon & Cheese Cauliflower Muffins

August 22, 2017 by 6 Comments

These delicious bacon and cheese muffins may look carby, but don’t let that fool you. They are only 2.2 net carbs per muffin. Plus, they are so easy to make! For this recipe, you will need cauliflower rice. Some stores do sell the cauliflower pre-chopped, but if you can’t find it, stick the vegetable into a blender and food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower is the size of a grain of rice. It’s fairly straightforward - the only annoyance is cleaning out the blender afterwards! The ...
