Definitely not the prettiest dish of the bunch, but I just had to post this one. For me, while looks are quite important most of the time, taste reigns supreme at the end of the day. This dish hits the nail on the head when it comes to taste. Time to get our cheese on...waffle style! The distinct flavor of cauliflower is knocked down into a subtle flavor you can easily handle with the crisp, almost burnt cheese on the outside and the rich, creamy flavors on the inside. The thyme, garlic, and ...
Keto Broccoli Cheddar Biscuits
Broccoli is probably my most favorite vegetable out of all the vegetables. It's delicious, nutritious, and it acts as a binder. Cauliflower is a close second, but for me it just doesn't taste as good. You have to actually put effort into getting rid of that pungent smell and taste with cauliflower, with broccoli the taste is welcomed. I'd seen a lot of biscuit recipes circling around lately, so I wanted to try my own spin at some "biscuits". They turned out pretty awesome, nice and crunchy on ...

Hearty Pot Pie
Ever since I made the recipe for the pecan pie, I've been in love with this pie crust. I ended up using it when I made a pie out of these low carb pumpkin cheesecake tarts. It was then that I started thinking of savory uses for the pie crust. It's the closest thing I've ever gotten to a traditional pie crust, and with turkey leftovers from Thanksgiving, it only made sense to think of using it to make a pot pie. For this one I used up the leftover veggies I had on hand. I used roasted radishes ...
