I'm sure this recipe is out there in cyberspace somewhere, but I never found it. I stumbled upon it by trial and error and am I ever happy I did! This is THE best chocolate I've had since I first started a keto way of life. The applications are endless and I look forward to all the wonderful things I can make with this stuff. I know it's a little high on the carb end (if you're not counting fiber), but for holidays, birthdays, or special occasions, it is perfect. Also, when using it in ...

Hearty Pot Pie

Hearty Pot Pie

Ever since I made the recipe for the pecan pie, I've been in love with this pie crust. I ended up using it when I made a pie out of these low carb pumpkin cheesecake tarts. It was then that I started thinking of savory uses for the pie crust. It's the closest thing I've ever gotten to a traditional pie crust, and with turkey leftovers from Thanksgiving, it only made sense to think of using it to make a pot pie. For this one I used up the leftover veggies I had on hand. I used roasted radishes ...

With another journey through food to Asia, we meet up with the Begedil. Also known as the Perkedel in Indonesia, these are traditionally made with mashed potatoes and deep-fried. Very commonly, you can find these in the night market (pasar malam) or small stalls along the street (garai). You can eat them on their own with a dipping sauce like mayonnaise and chili paste, or you can serve them in a clear soup/stew (usually Soto, or a noodle soup) like they are traditionally served. You ...

Today I bring you a keto tart dough...that actually stays together while you're making it! A lot of the coconut flour doughs that I've tried to make and form into a tart or pie ends up working, but it's really tough to work with. It's extremely crumbly and falls apart while you're working with it. Almond flour is pretty similar, although I found that it has better elasticity to it when you're working with it. Well, I put the two together, then added a bit of psyllium and egg to help work ...
