Waffles might be a breakfast food, slathered in sweet syrup, but they also make a great savory treat. Waffles are ideal for tartines (open faced stacked sandwiches). They also make great sandwiches filled with your favorite meats and cheeses. This version makes a terrific “bread.” The sage and cheddar cheese flavors could compliment a wide range of sandwich combinations. The key to making these waffles with success is not over-filling the waffle iron. The batter is thick and doesn’t ...
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 ...

Pumpkin Pecan Pie Ice Cream
The truth is, I couldn't decide between which 2 favorite Thanksgiving flavors to create. I could either do Pumpkin Pie, or I could do Pecan Pie. The longer I thought on it, the more clear this idea became: combine the both! The flavors of Pumpkin Pecan Pie Ice Cream are really great together. You get a creamy bite with pumpkin inside, then after you savor the flavor, maple and pecan come through. Whether your family is on the ketogenic diet or not, people will gobble this up and ask for more ...

Strawberry Swirl Ice Cream
With all of the ice cream recipes that have been getting love lately, there's been a rising amount of people that want to make ice cream without a machine. Keto and ice cream go great together - you get a creamy, full bodied flavor with tons of fat and a fraction of the carbs. Tasteaholics have written this guest post, and I was thrilled when they told me about this. A keto ice cream recipe - that needs no machine. Without further ado, here's Vicky and Rami: "Before we began our keto ...

Brown Butter Pecan Keto Ice Cream
In honor of National Ice Cream Day (yes, it's a thing!), I made one of my favorite flavoring of ice cream. Plus, it's one of the lowest carb ice creams that I have made before. It's almost pure fat - and it tastes fantastic to boot. The flavors of the brown butter and heavy cream come together to form an almost caramel type flavor. If you're familiar with the keto caramel recipe, then you'll see that this one has some similarities. You brown the butter, add cream, and mix everything ...

Butterscotch Sea Salt Ice Cream
My girlfriend's favorite flavor of ice cream is Salted Caramel from a local creamery here. I've really been playing around with the ideas of sweet and salty for a keto ice cream flavor to see how much more of the sweetness comes out with the salt aspect. I wanted to recreate both the texture and flavor of boutique ice cream with this butterscotch sea salt ice cream. This one definitely fits the bill. The flavors of butterscotch play perfectly with the saltiness that comes through. Though, ...

Raspberry Lemon Popsicles
Being that the weather is heating up, the humidity is rising, and it seems like some days are just too hot - these popsicles will do just the trick. We went out to the Hmong Sheboygan Summer Festival on Sunday and although tons of fun, it was really hot! Once we got home, partially drenched in sweat, I knew that I had to make something that would cool us both off. The idea of keto and popsicles usually doesn't resonate with me that well. They're normally really hard (due to the liquids) ...

Keto Mocha Ice Cream
This is one of the simplest ice cream recipes that I know of when it comes to keto. You don't have to make a custard, you don't have to freeze or refrigerate the mixture before adding it to your ice cream machine, and you don't have to wait around to temper anything. It's simply blend, add, and eat! I'm using a pretty fancy Gelato maker for this. It has a built in compressor, so it's also pretty expensive. My girlfriend picked it up a few years back on sale for around $120, which was a ...

Keto Diet: Cost Breakdowns of Popular Recipes
A common misconception is that a ketogenic diet is expensive. People see low-carb and automatically start calculating the high prices of meat. Luckily, this is not the case. A keto diet focuses on high fat and moderate protein which allows us to save money by focusing on the fat first. I went through some of my top reader and personal favorite recipes from the site to show you how much a typical ketogenic diet recipe costs, both per recipe and per serving. There are also many ways to save ...
