The taste of these snickerdoodles is just as I remember them. Classicly firm, sweet and melts in your mouth with a soft gesture of cinnamon and vanilla. These are the perfect cookies to warm yourself up to on a cold night! The smell alone will have your whole house gathered around waiting for you to serve up these delectable treats! I'm using homemade maple syrup in these, and I highly suggest you do the same. You can also add or reduce the amount of maple extract that you're using depending ...
Superbowl Sunday Buffalo Strips
Sunday is soon coming, and that means the Superbowl is almost here! I've got my money on the Broncos this year, that offense is not going to be stopped. Who do you think's going to take home the trophy? Anyway, we need some food for Sunday right? I figure I'm going the classic route and doing some buffalo chicken strips for it. They're crunchy, full of flavor, and absolutely delicious! You can use whichever hot sauce you want to, I personally went with Frank's Buffalo Wing Sauce because it's ...

Low Carb Corndogs
Since I made the lemon glazed fritters the other day, I thought that using a batter to fry things would be pretty awesome. I haven't had a corn dog in a while and it just popped into my head. But, I didn't want to just use hotdogs - so I decided on using 2 varieties of sausage to see which one came out better. To me, the chicken sausage was really on point - but not in the chicken department. When I used to live in the Bahamas, we used to get conch fritters all the time with a mayo/ketchup ...

Lemon Glazed Spice Fritters
After going about making the Fried Cookie Dough, some people had let me know that they weren't getting the same results as me. It came down to using casein over whey protein powder (one is thicker and contains more xanthan than the other), so their dough wasn't turning out right. Others didn't want to use processed protein powders in their food - so I sought out to create something that uses neither protein or processed foods. I came up with fritters. Though the dough is a lot more sticky ...

Crispy & Delicious Kale Chips
I know when you're on a ketogenic diet, you really can't get much crunch in your life. The best we get is some cheese crisps, the crunch of raw vegetables, and maybe pork rinds once in a while. But they're just not the same! If you've been searching for some potato chips, these may just rid you of the cravings. The salty taste, the extreme crunch, and...the added health benefits of kale. What's not to lose? Now, when you're cooking these you have to be careful. There's 2 important ...

LC Peanut Butter Meringue Cookies
I meant to post this recipe a while back, but wasn't able to get it done. I believe this one is worth the wait! It's very versatile and a good way to use up egg whites if you make homemade mayo like I do. It's a 3-ingredient recipe, so it comes together quickly and easily. My favorite! The only thing that takes some time is the cooking and cooling. Yields 18 servings of Peanut Butter Meringue Cookies. The Preparation 1 cup egg whites, room temp ½ cup creamy peanut butter 2 ...

Keto Bites: General Tso’s Chicken
One of my all-time favorites. My go-to when I used to order from the Chinese take away. One of the reasons I got fat in the first place. General Tso's Chicken. The sweet, spicy, savory mixture of sticky sauce slathering that chicken is something I never wanted to forget. This goes great with Cauliflower Fried Rice! I've been experimenting with the sauce since I made the sweet and sour chicken, and I've hit the nail on the head! This is one recipe that those of us on a ketogenic diet ...

Low Carb Sweet & Sour Chicken
Chinese food has been a weakness for me since I first tasted it. Fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, general tso's, chow mein. Everything I can't have on a ketogenic diet. If you're missing the fried rice, don't fret - you can make an accompanying Cauliflower Fried Rice! Through the years I have built up a resistance to Chinese food, eventually not getting cravings for it and not even thinking about it. The other day I was surfing the internet and saw a picture of some delicious looking sweet ...

Baconscotch Chocolate Chunk Cookies
The reaction I get out of people when I say the words chocolate and bacon together is absolutely priceless. They look so disgusted, but they're in the dark on this one. Bacon and chocolate go together extremely well - the salty components playing off the sweet, boosting the flavor of the chocolate. For this recipe, we are using candied bacon. If you need to know how to make it, we have a how-to on candied bacon. You'll also need to know how to make chocolate ganache. If you need, we have a ...

Low Carb Broccoli, Cheddar & Bacon Chowder
Creamy, delicious, and very filling! This chowder will have anyone that loves bacon, cheese, and broccoli demanding more (and I hope that's everyone here.) In this recipe, we'll be using roasted broccoli. This stuff is absolutely delicious on its own, but if you don't know how to make it: here's the recipe. After you make it, you can set it to the side for when you add it to the chowder. When I fed this to friends and family I actually got "gourmet restaurant quality" as feedback from one ...
