What is the Keto Flu & How to Remedy It?
September 5, 2017 by 22 Comments
Adapting to the ketogenic diet can feel like the flu. Tiredness, fatigue, stomach pains, and dizziness are common symptoms that the ketogenic diet beginner can experience, but these symptoms don't come from a ketogenic virus or an infected mosketo (like “mosquito” — sorry, I couldn't resist). In fact, the symptoms for keto flu are not even caused by ketosis, ketogenesis, or the flu at all. The keto flu is caused by the body's response to carbohydrate restriction. Here's a quick video that ...

Cajun Salmon Cakes
June 7, 2018 by 5 Comments
Some days dinner seems like a daunting task, with busy schedules and not much time to cook or plan meals in advance. This recipe for Cajun Salmon Cakes is a regular in our rotation for those busy nights when we haven’t really thought ahead about what to make. They come together quickly using ingredients that are staples in most keto pantries. I like to use spicy pork rinds to enhance the Cajun flavor of these cakes, but if you don’t like things too spicy then regular pork rinds work just ...

Layered Fried Queso Blanco
August 20, 2014 by 10 Comments
I have a confession to make: I got mad at cheese today. Mad to the point where I just smooshed it into a pan while it was frying - but something absolutely amazing came out of it! I don't know why it took me so long to think of this. Whenever I fry up cheese, I watch it closely - and it always starts to melt, little by little at the bottom. Distressing myself and knowing that it's going to flatten out, I haven't done anything about it...until now! Those crispy layers on the outside, the gooey ...

Pesto Keto Crackers
December 8, 2016 by 24 Comments
These Pesto Keto Crackers combine a buttery crisp texture with the Italian taste that everyone loves. The flavor is a delightful combination of garlic, basil, and black pepper with just a hint of cayenne to waken up the taste buds. Enjoy these crackers by themselves, float them in soup, spread them with olive tapenade, or substitute them as croutons in a salad. You can even crush them up and use them in place of cracker crumbs for a yummy Italian style breading for meat or fish. Of course, they ...

Oven “Grilled” Asian Chicken Thighs
September 9, 2014 by 17 Comments
It's not so often that the lazy people prevail in the quest to do less. But, there's the few times that the lazy way of living shines through and gives a bit of hope - this is one of those days. Instead of breaking out the grill, cleaning it, oiling it, and subsequently cleaning it afterward, why not use the oven to do our chicken thighs? I've found that this method works extremely well with chicken thighs in particular. So well, that even the people I served it to didn't realize that this ...

January 9, 2018 by 2 Comments
This miso salmon is a light and flavorful way to add more seafood and healthy fats into your diet! The salmon fillets are marinated in sake, white wine, and miso for two days before cooking. This saturates the fish with a wonderful flavor. You can leave the skin on, or remove the skin too. It's really up to you, but crispy salmon skin can be a wonderful treat. This recipe goes great with a side salad, or you can make some seafood tacos using our keto tortillas. I made some zoodles and ...
