I've been making so many sweets lately that I had to take a bit of a break and allow the leftovers to be eaten before making more. Being on a keto diet, it's hard for me to keep eating sweets, even if they are low carb, because I find my cravings start to come back after I eat them. Low and behold, everything is gone and I wanted to make something I haven't done in a while. I settled on brownies because I haven't really gotten around to making a cake, and I have only been making cookies ...

The holidays are approaching fast and all of us on a ketogenic diet are struggling to find that perfect special morning breakfast. Well, I've got it and I'm here to share it with you all! Cinnamon Roll Waffles are the best of both worlds. That creamy, sweet, delicious cinnamon roll warm out of the oven mixed with the childhood favorite of most - waffles!

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 ...

“Kitchen Sink” Low Carb Pizza
It's that time of year when I do a cleaning out of the fridge. Things that have been sitting at the back, behind all your favorite sauces, those things you don't even remember? Yep, we're going to make a pizza out of that! Pizza, you say? But does it actually hold up without falling and crumbling into a thousand pieces? It definitely does! I had some bacon that was starting to discolor, some creamy spinach dip that was just about to expire, and a can of chicken that I needed to get rid ...

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 ...

Cheddar and Bacon BBQ Meatballs
These are some of the best meatballs I've ever had, keto or not. They're juicy, and they're full of cheese and bacon. What's not to like here? You really have a choice of where to go with this recipe. You don't have to use the BBQ sauce, but it pairs up extremely well with this recipe. You can add salsa and go for a Southwestern vibe, or add some homemade alfredo sauce and go for a very rich dish. I like my BBQ sauce to be spicy and tangy, so if you like more of a subtle BBQ sauce you ...
