Keto French Toast Muffins

Keto French Toast Muffins

February 12, 2014 by 12 Comments

Come on, just admit it. You haven't had french toast in a while and you want it now. This is the perfect excuse to get that cinnamon-y, semi-crunchy, delicious taste. You can put some twists of your own on this one for sure. Add maple extract or Walden Farms Maple Syrup. You can add allspice, clove, or any other spice you see fit and think would work well. My intentions was to keep this simple, so almost everyone could make this. Keep in mind that I normally don't eat berries, and I ...

Fried Cookie Dough Balls

Fried Cookie Dough Balls

January 18, 2014 by 6 Comments

I've been trying to find a way to make fried cookie dough for a while, and with almond flour alone the texture just doesn't come through. The batter doesn't get thick enough...and coconut flour is something that I don't like to use. It falls apart and becomes very dry. Protein powder (casein to be exact) was the key! Optimum Nutrition is one of my favorite brands for both protein powder and casein powder. Not to mention they make great multivitamins, vitamins, and other supplements. There's ...

Chicken Inasal (Filipino Chicken BBQ)

February 4, 2020 by Leave a Comment

Tangy, crispy, grilled chicken --- probably the best way to describe Chicken Inasal. Marinated in acids and aromatics, it’s a family favorite! Coconut Sap Vinegar is when coconut trees are tapped for its sap and then fermented. It is white and cloudy with a slight sweet smell. There is no coconut smell or flavor, surprisingly. Annatto (or Achuete) Oil is used widely in the Philippines mostly to give a warm burst of orange color in grilled dishes. Yields 6 servings of Chicken Inasal ...

Thai Chicken Zoodles

This is a keto-fied version of Fried Noodles, or Mee Goreng, inspired by the Japanese version of Yaki Udon. These have a slight Indian influence on them since my friend is from Brunei. His mom used to get this for him whenever she went to the coffee shop, and he wanted to re-create it! The typical ingredients in this are ketchup, chili paste, potato, tomato, tofu, sweet and dark soy sauce, and it's served with a citrus and chili sauce. There are three well known versions of this: chicken, ...

September 14, 2015 by 18 Comments

A common misconception is that the ketogenic diet increases “bad” cholesterol levels and clogs your arteries because it is so high in fat.  However, much of the recent research shines light on how high-fat, low-carb diets can optimize your cholesterol levels and in fact improve your heart health. In this article, we will take a closer look at the most up-to-date research on different types of cholesterol, how each one affects our health, and the impact that the keto diet has on our ...

Keto Apple Fritter Cookies

May 23, 2023 by Leave a Comment

These special Keto Apple Fritter Cookies have a low carb content per cookie and are a perfect mouthwatering treat for those on a Keto lifestyle. Because apples are a high-carb fruit, we have swapped them out here with zucchini.  While it may seem odd, the texture is almost identical, and this recipe leans into flavor with delectable coconut flour, cream cheese, and cinnamon. These come up crispy on the outside and impossibly chewy and gooey when you bite in.   This recipe makes 12, so ...

Handcrafted Mayonnaise

Handcrafted Mayonnaise

December 6, 2013 by 44 Comments

Mayonnaise is one of my favorite condiments to make. No matter how many times I make it, there's just something about watching something come together and emulsify like mayo that's always interesting. I love how making it with my stick blender (aka emulsion blender) is super fast and easy. There are so many variations you can make with homemade mayo, but this is my favorite. I use expeller pressed coconut oil, because there is no coconut taste. Also, I always use fresh farm eggs (and ...
