If you're a sane person, then peanut butter is probably one of your guilty pleasures - I know it's one of mine. But, when we're on a ketogenic diet, we can't always grab it by the spoonful to lick it off as a snack because of the carb count. Every once in a while, though, I get a huge craving for peanut butter and have to make something that'll combat it. So, since I've been on a smoothie/milkshake stint lately, I decided to put together something I know you'd all love. You can also sub out ...
Low Carb Pasta a la Carbonara
So, what if I were to tell you that the pasta you see above is actually low carb and fits well into the keto lifestyle? I know, I was gob-smacked too! Pasta and rice have always been the 2 true things that I miss on keto. Cauliflower rice does the trick (especially when fried, mmmm) for one part, but the keto pasta I never figured out. Zoodles, shirataki noodles, kelp noodles...none of them ever did the trick for me. The resemblance was there, but the taste and texture were never there. These ...

Cheesy Bacon Bombs
I'd like to take a second to tell everyone about the new forums that I've just opened! I decided that this would be a much better outlet for discussion than a Facebook group because of the organization quality of information, and the more communal feel. If you'd like to take the time to join us, partake in discussions about everything keto, and voice your successes - feel free to join us on the Ruled.me Forums! Anyway, back to the food. These little morsels are just divine. It's like biting ...

Bacon, Red Pepper, and Mozzarella Frittata
I can't take full credit for this recipe, Gordon Ramsey definitely gave me inspiration with his bacon, red pepper, pea, and spring onion frittata. But, he didn't add enough fats for me so I manipulated the recipe a bit to allow for more fats (mushrooms help out with the absorption of those) to create an absolutely delicious breakfast or brunch for you to share and enjoy! Heck, even I don't want to share this, so if you're like me, you can just portion this out into 6 servings and eat it for ...

Almond Lemon Sandwich Cakes
Happy Valentines Day to all my ketogenic friends out there! So, I know you've probably not made anything for your significant other, and now you're scratching your head on what epic treat to make. Well, nobody wants roses anymore - it's too easy, so put some work into it and give him/her something they'll really like! Keto-approved, of course. These almond lemon cakes are superb. I had some icing left from the Red Velvet Fried Donuts yesterday and decided to use it. Actually, they inspired me ...

Baked Brie Juicy Lucy
The good ol' juicy lucy, stuffed with cheese and absolutely delicious. The cheese melts all over the burger as you're eating it, adding extra bursts of flavor and an extremely juicy consistency. We'll be baking this burger...yes, baking it. It may sound weird but I've been experimenting with cooking meat in my oven on convection setting, and I've had spectacular results. We'll be using convection baking for this. So make sure you DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN at all during the cook time. If your oven ...

Low Carb Crispy Fried Chicken
Remember those Cheddar and Bacon BBQ Meatballs that I made the other day? Well, I had leftover pork rinds from crushing them up - so I decided that I would make some fried chicken with it. Surprisingly (well, I had my suspicions anyway) it turned out really awesome! It's a great breading for fried chicken, it holds together and sticks, and tastes fantastic. My one quip about this, is to make sure that you don't use a food processor to crush up the pork rinds. I used a rolling pin to ...

Low Carb Mock Snickers Bar
Chocolate, peanut butter, and caramel. I've never heard anyone in my life say they don't like that combination, even people with nut allergies! I try to be pretty honest when I am writing these recipes, if they taste horrible then they taste horrible - I won't hide it. I think these little angels might just be the best thing I've managed to put together in my kitchen for my keto diet. I truly mean it - I actually told my friends to go and try this mock Snickers bar today and that's saying a ...

Low Carb Pumpkin Pancakes
Pancakes are glorious at any time of the day, but unfortunately it's a real challenge to find a version suitable for the keto diet. Every now and again I look through recipes to find some staples that I thought I'd never enjoy again. Time and time again these low carb substitutes come out nothing like what I had anticipated - but this pancake recipe brought some new light into my life. I was actually looking for a cornbread recipe and stumbled upon an almond flour cornbread that I thought was ...
