Keeping carbohydrate intake low is the key to keto diet success. When carb intake is too high, we simply cannot enter ketosis and experience the unique benefits of keto. However, this doesn’t mean that you have to rigidly track your carbohydrate intake at all times. In fact, many keto dieters are able to stay in ketosis by using one simple strategy: Eating mostly keto-friendly foods that have little to no net carbs (i.e., digestible carbs that reduce ketone production). Although it may ...

Slow Cooker Keto Chicken Tikka Masala
Chicken Tikka Masala is a super delicious and flavorful curry that you can now make keto! You can serve this on its own and it's an amazing dish, though you can pair it with some sides to "bulk" it up in a sense. I decided to serve this with cauliflower rice, with a 1/6 serving per person. The cauliflower rice was just riced cauliflower sauteed in a dry pan. Once the cauliflower was dried out, I added butter, cumin, and coriander. Upon finishing, I added salt and pepper to taste (to keep ...

Keto Coconut Curry Chicken Tenders
If you've ever been a fan of coconut shrimp, this recipe's for you! The classic coconut shrimp gets a twist with chicken and a deep curry flavor that runs throughout. To match alongside it, we pair pork rinds with the chicken to bring the flavors out and allow for a crispy chicken tender. Never thought you'd have crunchy on keto? Think again. To make the flavors of the chicken nuggets really sing, I decided that a dipping sauce was absolutely mandatory for this. A sweet and spicy mango ...

Crispy Chipotle Chicken Thighs
Chicken is always something you have to scrutinize when on a ketogenic diet. From the high protein content to the low fat content, it's something that most of us opt out of using as a staple in our diets. But, my question is why? Chicken thighs are a delicious piece of poultry that come with an added skin that you can crisp up yourself. This adds not only a great texture in every bite, but also the ability to bring tons of flavor that chicken so easily absorbs. Cooking these skin side down in ...

Low Carb Microwave Hamburger Bun
So it's been dawning on me lately that I've really wanted a proper hamburger. Yeah, you can make those ultra thin buns with a whoppie pan, or you can even make a cupcake bun and cut it in half - but it's just not the same. Plus, you have to do so much work just for a few buns. I wanted something that I could throw together in a sinch and not have to worry about cleaning up, baking times, or any of that other stuff. Luckily, I've come up with a pretty good solution - hamburger mug bun, ...

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 ...

Crispy Curry Rub Chicken Thighs
A very hands off, but extremely tasty recipe - this combines the crispiness of the chicken skin with the tender, almost falling apart, meat. Though it does take nearly an hour in the oven, it will only take you about 5 minutes of prep work to have everything ready. So, once you get home from work, rub some chicken down, let it cook, and enjoy a fantastic meal - hands off, of course :) I also want to say thanks to everyone that visits the website! I know many of you come and see just 1 recipe ...

BBQ Pulled Chicken Sliders
Remember the BBQ Pulled Chicken recipe that I did in the slow cooker the other day? Well it made quite a lot of food, and there was certainly leftovers to go around. I wanted to put something nice together that makes the leftovers seem like a new dish completely. All in all, this takes pretty little effort to put together. Just mixing together the batter for the buns, and the rest is almost auto-pilot cooking. From start to finish it took me maybe 30 minutes - so this would be a great meal if ...
