Imagine if you went to Taco Bell right now and ordered a chalupa, then came home and deep fried it. Now, imagine if that same chalupa was low-carb and keto friendly. This is what the keto tortilla chips reminded me of. An exceptional cross-breed baby between a regular tortilla chip and a bready, soft chalupa. For the original flaxseed tortilla recipe, I used curry powder originally. It's up to you to season with whatever you'd like. This time I chose garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and ...
Jalapeno Popper Fat Bombs
February 17, 2015 by 13 Comments
I've had quite the love of jalapeno poppers over the last few months, and I wanted a super simple way to get my favorite flavors of a jalapeno popper in the form of a quick snack. These little jalapeno popper fat bombs can pretty much be carried anywhere, and snacked on as needed to bring your fats up throughout the day. The flavor of these are exactly what you'd expect - a bit spicy (add jalapeno seeds inside if you want more spiciness), very creamy and rich, and packed full of bacon flavor. ...

These little cups of cheeseburger goodness will keep all of yours guests happy and they'll be begging for more. You can make double, triple, or even quadruple ...

Personal Pan Pizza Dip
January 22, 2015 by 6 Comments
While searching for some new and creative ideas to be keto during the Super Bowl, I came across keto fat bomb Pizza Dip. Usually they're served in a large casserole dish, but I thought the idea of having a personal pan pizza dip was really awesome. That way, you don't have to put up with the double-dippers (you know who they are) and can portion out servings easily. Still being able to track your macros while having a great party is always something that's a plus in my book. But, if you're so ...

Keto Corndog Muffins
January 13, 2015 by 32 Comments
I've seen this idea floating around the web for a while. It combines the amazing taste of a corndog with a super easy way of creating a bite-sized treat. You can have these done in 20 minutes or less and ready to send out of the kitchen as an appetizer for a party. I thought with the Super Bowl coming up, these would be a perfect way to serve finger-food while still keeping it low carb. All of your guests will love them and easily be able to eat/dip them into whatever they'd like. Speaking of ...

Layered Fried Queso Blanco
August 20, 2014 by 8 Comments
I have a confession to make: I got mad at cheese today. Mad to the point where I just smooshed it into a pan while it was frying - but something absolutely amazing came out of it! I don't know why it took me so long to think of this. Whenever I fry up cheese, I watch it closely - and it always starts to melt, little by little at the bottom. Distressing myself and knowing that it's going to flatten out, I haven't done anything about it...until now! Those crispy layers on the outside, the gooey ...

Low Carb Chia Seed Crackers
August 10, 2014 by 25 Comments
Lately I've been craving something crunchy...a small snack that can give a chance to the normally slightly gooey and soft texture you get with keto. I've done cheese chips, and I've gotten a little tired of them. I've done flax chips, which are filled with phytoestrogens and getting a bad rep. So what's left? I figured I could make something out of chia seeds, since I had done similarly with tortillas - and boy was I right. These chia seed crackers are absolutely amazing. Granted they aren't ...

Goat Cheese Tomato Tarts
June 19, 2014 by 2 Comments
When company is coming over and I want to keep all of the recipes I prepare ketogenic, I try to go above and beyond to make things that I normally wouldn't. I like to make things that impress people so that they don't have the wrong idea about this diet. Many people who know me always think that my diet is extremely restrictive, but this is my moment where I show them I can make anything they could - and probably even better. Putting that extra bit of work in to impress people not only helps ...
