When we're on a ketogenic diet, bringing variety, trying new things, and enjoying new flavors is the way to do it - and this curry won't disappoint. I know not many people like the word curry because it normally means one thing in a person's mind. But there are tons of varieties of curry out there. Thai, Indian, Chinese, Malaysian - they all have their own special twists that make them unique to the region they're made in. Today, we're going with a Thai style curry, that won't be spicy at all. ...
Chocolate Chunk Avocado Ice Cream
Eating avocados on a ketogenic diet is well known and done often. They're full of fats, absolutely delicious, and normally pretty easy to find. Though, eating avocados for dessert is pretty unconventional. I've made avocado-lime sorbet before, but this time I wanted to bring a whole new flavor profile to the dish - and we use cocoa powder to mask the avocado's taste without getting in the way of texture. The decadently rich and sweet flavors of the ice cream are offset by the unsweetened ...

Low Carb Moroccan Meatballs
Lamb is one of the most distinct meats for me, flavor wise, and love to get my hands on it when I can. Of course it's expensive, so it's a once in a while type of love affair. Today, we're going to make some Moroccan Meatballs - the flavors of the Mediterranean paired with the fresh mint, cilantro, and thyme that are all so prevalent in Moroccan cooking. If you've had lamb at a Mediterranean or even middle eastern restaurant, you'll know exactly what this tastes like. It tastes just like ...

Cilantro Infused Avocado Lime Sorbet
Summer is almost here and this right here is summer in a bowl! A delicious mixture of all of the festive and delicious flavors of summer, served up nice and cold for the heat wave that's about to hit. Today, we'll be making a cilantro infused avocado lime sorbet. You might see the ingredients and think to yourself, "Well, that looks like sweet guacamole." You'd be right, in a sense, but completely wrong in another. It's not just sweet guacamole in a cup - the flavors completely change when ...

Cinnamon Orange Souffle
Today is a little bit about re-purposing foods. Some people don't always like what they end up with, so instead of throwing it in the trash you can try to come up with new and creative ideas to re-purpose your food into something else. Now don't get me wrong, the cinnamon orange scones were absolutely delicious, but I just wanted to make something else with them. I typically look at scones as some kind of breakfast pastry I'd have with my coffee, while I'd look at a souffle as a nice dessert ...

Spinach Shamrock Latte
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 ...

Dirty Blondie Pancake Stack
For those of you who don’t know, today is National Pancake Day! Normally I’d be ignoring that fact, making a ketoproof coffee or some scrambled eggs, and calling it a morning. This time around, that is NOT happening – I’m making my pancakes and eating them too. I call these Dirty Blondie Pancakes, but they’re certainly far from dirty and definitely close to deliciousness served up on a plate. It’s a stack of 2 types of pancakes: Maple Pecan and Brownie Batter Chocolate Chunk! You really can’t ...

Shrimp and Cauliflower Curry
I used to make a ton of curry before venturing onto a ketogenic diet, but I had to find a way to get rid of some of the ingredients. No flour to make a roux, no mango chutney for the fruitiness and spice, no milk...hmm, it was a tough one - but I think I got it worked out! Though it does take some time to thicken up (thanks Xanthan Gum for speeding that up!) it's well worth the wait. This delicious keto curry will fill your house with the smell of the aromatic spices. Cooking longer without ...

Sausage and Cheese Breakfast Pie
I know you all want something that's crusty on the outside, and delightfully soft on the inside. This savory breakfast pie has all of that, and then some. Sausage and cheese flows throughout the pie to bring a great sense of taste and texture between each bite. The top is crusted so you get just enough crunch to keep you coming back for more. Rosemary and lemon are two of my favorite combinations in savory cooking, and I certainly don't eat it enough. Though the sausage was a Bacon and ...
