Are you getting tired of the oily frozen fat bombs that you've been making and constantly seeing around the internet? Well, I sure am. So I wanted to set out to give some new textures, flavors, and ways to get your fats in. These are a little more carby and less fatty than the pure oil fat bombs, but they taste SO much better that it's worth giving them a try. They come out to 83% fats, 5% carbs, and 8% protein which is still highly ketogenic in itself. Plus...they taste ah-may-zing. ...
Cumin Sesame Lemon Mug Cake
March 24, 2014 by 1 Comment
Cumin is one of my all-time favorite spices to use with meat, but without the meat portion it seems weird to use. I had to come up with something that could accent the earthy qualities needed for cumin, while still playing a role in the recipe. Sesame seeds definitely do the trick! If you missed out on the last savory mug cakes, check them out: Bacon, Cheddar & Chive Green Chile Cheddar Mug Cake Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Mug Cake To brighten the whole dish up, we add a ...

Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Mug Cake
March 22, 2014 by 7 Comments
Fresh, delicious, and unique. These are the 3 words I'd use to describe this mug cake. Tomato is a fantastic thing that can bring mositure, taste, and a unique sense of flavor to a dish. If you missed out on the last mug cakes, check them out: Of course you don't have to serve this with a slice of tomato, but it does really seal the deal when you're finished. A nice crisp small piece of tomato to get that "I need something fresh" out of your mind. This mug cake is extremely ...

Spinach Shamrock Latte
March 17, 2014 by 4 Comments
Happy St. Patty's day everybody! I think I'll be staying pretty classic this time and make some Corned Beef and Cabbage tonight, but we'll see what happens to give it a twist. So, you rarely see me using avocado and there's a reason for it - I just don't like the stuff. The greens we're getting today is from spinach. Spinach is seriously one of my favorite vegetables. It's packed full of micronutrients and it takes on flavors of other things really well. You're probably thinking to yourself ...

Low Carb Taco Tartlets
March 6, 2014 by 6 Comments
So, you're having a party coming soon and you have no clue what to serve everyone? Well, that's the predicament I was in. I wanted something that was finger friendly, but showed I put some work into it at the same time. A little tartlet was exactly what I had in mind! The ground beef can be subbed out for pretty much any type of meat - I just have a bunch on hand that I need to use, so that's what went in. I think this would be fantastic with an Asian style ground pork also. If you've ...

Fried Queso Fresco
February 17, 2014 by 13 Comments
These ooey gooey squares of goodness are one of the best ways to get a side in when you need a lot of fat. By itself, this cheese isn't the best - but it has the solubility to stand up to the high temperature required for frying. Get a nice layer of crisp on these bad boys and they're seriously good eats. They make for great snacks, or a great side item to a lean meal or keto Mexican meal. Just be aware that they don't save great - they're best served hot. Yields 5 total servings The ...

Peppermint Frost Breath Mints
January 20, 2014 by 7 Comments
About xylitol: 1 cup of xylitol, a sugar alcohol, has 228g carbs, but as humans we don't have the enzymes to process any of the nutrients from xylitol, so it passes through our system. Studies show that blood sugars and ketone levels are not affected by this in humans, but it can cause digestive upset if you are sensitive to sugar alcohols. If you aren't sure how you will react to xylitol, use in moderation. I recommend trying one piece 2-3 times a day, preferably after eating. I have a ...

I've seen a trend lately where people are continuing to try to find the greatest chips to make. I know that celery root makes some of the best keto chips around, but why go through all the hassle of deep frying them? You can easily make chips in under 15 minutes with the help of our best friend - cheese. These make for a great party snack or work as an appetizer - make different flavored chips and different flavored sauces. In this recipe I made 3 different flavors of chips. The first was a ...

Keto Tea: Iced Green Tea Recipe
January 13, 2014 by 42 Comments
Despite having tons of health benefits, keto tea fits right on in with my breakfast and lunch schedule. I do intermittent fasting, and ketoproof tea gives me plenty of energy along with satiation through the morning fasting hours. I decided to take on an iced approach since I really like a cold drink in the morning and it helps me get it down much quicker in my morning eating window. Since I don't do a full day fasting, drinking ketoproof tea in the morning really ramps up my metabolism with ...
