Truth be told, I've never really had the opportunity to try tofu. It's always been on the list of things that seem like they'll be nasty if I tried them, or other people have told me the horror stories connected with it. But, I've got a pretty open mind and loved the idea of giving it a try with my own spin on it. Let me tell you - if you've never had tofu, or think you don't like it...you need to re-try it! Baked tofu is wonderful. Instead of the soft, gooey, flavorless mess that people ...

Traveling on Keto
Maintaining the keto way of eating while traveling: I can’t count the number of times that I've been e-mailed, messaged, or asked about this topic. It’s a common factor that when people travel, they’re just not sure if they can keep up with a high-fat ketogenic lifestyle. A few months ago, my girlfriend and I went on a small vacation through Portland and Seattle. I wanted to document all of the food I was eating to share the experience and to provide some tips and tricks with all of the ...

Bacon Avocado Muffins
When you think of muffins you generally reminisce on the overly sweet, sugar-laden pastries you can buy in the coffee shop. You don't usually see yourself eating a savory muffin, especially one that's stuffed full of avocado and bacon. Especially not me. I never used to be much of a fan of avocados growing up (even though I had a tree), but recently found a new love for them - and can't seem to get enough of them anymore. These keto muffins are absolutely awesome. You know when you wake up a ...

Keto Kitchen Recommendations
If you cook as many meals as I do, you’d give up quite a lot just to save some time in the kitchen. Heck, even if you cook all of your meals for the week in 1 day, wouldn't you want it to be the easiest it can be? I’ll talk about all of my favorite high-quality appliances, prep items, and even a few decorative items for when the guests are over. I’ve tried all sorts of blenders, mixers, pots and pans, coffee makers, and random gadgets for the kitchen. I love them, but a lot of them are junk ...
Crispy Keto Cauliflower Cakes
Finding the right kinds of side dishes on a ketogenic diet can be difficult. You usually end up defaulting to some salad soaked in dressing or vegetables sauteed in oil and butter. But, sometimes we just want a change that seems impossible to do if we need that extra boost of fat to stick on the plate. Sometimes a few leaves of greens just won't cut it, and we want something hearty, full of fats, and delicious to boot. There are days I find myself going overboard for a few hours, stalking ...

Keto Skirt Steak Fajitas
Fajitas are something that I've been REALLY craving lately, so I set out to make some that weren't going to disappoint. Low and behold, these fajitas did the trick! They'll serve around 6 people, but I didn't make enough tortillas for that many. If you need to serve to a large group of people, take your time to make more tortillas than what's in the recipe. You can also make larger tortillas and serve 1 per person if you use the original recipe. You can find the tortilla recipe here, but I've ...
