Asparagus Fries with Red Pepper Aioli
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 ...

Feta and Bacon Bites
One of my favorite keto things to make is cheese based dough. It is incredibly versatile. These feta and bacon bites are just one of many things that you can make with this type of dough. Not only are these bites super easy to make, but cook time is roughly 15 minutes! They are also a great snack to keep for on-the-go. For this recipe I used a muffin tin, however you don’t have too. You can put these on a cookie sheet (lined with parchment paper) or a silicon baking mat. I used a muffin ...

Soy Sauce Marinated Deviled Eggs
Do you think that hard boiled eggs are boring? Well, think again! These eggs are marinated just like the eggs you find at a ramen restaurant, then whipped with cream cheese and chives. They're salty with a touch of sweet, and make the perfect appetizer or snack. The first time I encountered a version of this recipe was from a wonderful cookbook by Harumi Kurihara. She is kind of like Martha Stewart in Japan. I was fascinated by these brown dyed eggs, and she suggested toppings like cream ...

Spicy Sausage Cheese Dip
I’ve been seeing a lot of Pinterest pins for dips lately. It reminded me of this one Mexican restaurant I used to visit that had the best spicy sausage dip. So in memory of the delicious dip I used to eat, I created my own keto version. I’ve always had a love for spicy foods, and this dip was no exception. For the Italian sausage, I choose to use the hot kind. For an extra kick of spiciness, I added a can of hot Ro*Tel. If you’re not familiar with Ro*Tel, it’s diced tomatoes and green ...

It’s football season in my house, which means there’s a lot more snacking going on. Since not all my friends or family watch their carb or sugar intake, I try to create snacks that everyone can enjoy. So I knew one easy way I could try experimenting with some snack worthy recipes was to try a new twist on a classic dip recipe. Unlike using a traditional french onion dip, I decided to try my hand at creating a dip with a cauliflower and an onion base. My thinking was that it would be a ...
