You're so freaking heavy you outweigh my Chevy!" were daily chants as I boarded the school bus. I'd become subject of the majority of the boys' fat jokes. "You have such a pretty face...you would be so beautiful if you just lost a few pounds," was repeated by so many of my well meaning family members. Three times per week I climbed on the scale in the nurse's office at my elementary school. I listened to all the benefits I could have if I just started making better food choices. The words ...
Keto Raspberry Pavlovas
With berry season in full force and seeing just about every recipe with some sort of berry included, I thought a keto dessert was in order. Pavlovas to me seemed like the perfect dish for a great crisp and a bright fresh flavor. Not only do they taste great, but all the ingredients come together to balance itself out. The creamy filling paired with the fluffy, vanilla-infused crust makes for a perfect bite when the burst of the bright raspberry comes through. The richness and acidity balance ...

Keto Delivered February 2016 Unboxing
In this month's Keto Delivered box, I wanted to bring together some flavors that would go together well with a Valentine's day theme. I thought that chocolate and spice would be perfectly paired when you think of foods that you may have on the special day. I wanted to make sure that all of the larger items would last a long time and would keep fueling recipes from February until the March box was sent out. Alongside the larger items, there were a few smaller items for snacking and taking with ...

Keto Pumpkin Carbonara
I've been experimenting a bit more lately with pumpkin than I usually do. Since we can't exactly bake a sweet potato and pumpkin casserole for the dinner table, I wanted to come up with some not-so-traditional dishes using pumpkin that all of us can get behind! This pumpkin carbonara is an AWESOME meal, and everyone will definitely be wanting a second helping after they get their first bite. While I do love the sweet aspects of pumpkin (check out these Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies, or ...

Keto Delivered November 2015 Unboxing
Thanksgiving is now over (I hope you guys had a great one, by the way!) and most everyone has received their Keto Delivered box. I've been really excited to see all of the positive feedback and the huge amount of anticipation for the December box to become available. With the holiday season in full effect, I thought that most people would be doing traveling in some sort of way: either by air or road. I wanted to make this Keto Delivered box something that will facilitate the holiday travels ...

Keto Delivered September 2015 Unboxing
Fall is here! The leaves are slowly turning orange and the weather is becoming cooler each day that passes by. Pumpkins are popping up in the farmers market, and pumpkin spice...everything is making a return. I say that like it's a bad thing, but I really do love the deep flavors that come out with pumpkin spice - and even better, I'm bringing them to you keto style. I know many of you saw that the first month of Keto Delivered had its setbacks, but month two went much more smoothly - and ...

Asian Grilled Keto Short Ribs
As most of you know, I'm a huge fan of Asian food and flavors. Surprisingly, I've never had flanken cut short ribs (most familiar with the Korean style short ribs). I found them in the supermarket a few weeks back and grabbed some to try. I have to tell you - they are well worth it! They're not too expensive, they're extremely tender and delicious, and best of all - packed full of fats. I didn't have any Kimchi on hand, so I served with some purple cabbage, cilantro and a soy/vinegar ...

Keto Tater Tot Nachos (AKA Totchos)
Totchos are an up and coming dish that has only started building momentum in the last few months. So, what are totchos? They're deliciously crisp tater tots dressed like nachos - gooey cheese, browned ground beef, and gloriously topped with sour cream, salsa, olives, and jalapenos. Curiously, totchos have really been on an upswing in 2015. With a search history spiking in early January, totchos have started to be a craving in many households across the US. Of which, the main city to be ...

Keto Diet: Cost Breakdowns of Popular Recipes
A common misconception is that a ketogenic diet is expensive. People see low-carb and automatically start calculating the high prices of meat. Luckily, this is not the case. A keto diet focuses on high fat and moderate protein which allows us to save money by focusing on the fat first. I went through some of my top reader and personal favorite recipes from the site to show you how much a typical ketogenic diet recipe costs, both per recipe and per serving. There are also many ways to save ...

Jalapeno Popper Mug Cake
I've been on a binge of jalapeno popper stuff for a while now. Between my Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Popper Casserole and my Jalapeno Popper Fat Bombs, I really wanted to make something a bit different. Sometimes on keto we are forced to choose between easy and tasty - but that's the complete opposite when it comes to this recipe. Mug cakes are the perfect way to have a meal in just a few minutes. Mix all the ingredients together and put it in the microwave and you have an awesome cross between ...
