Cinnamon and Orange Beef Stew
January 21, 2014 by 20 Comments
So I decided to go a little bit out of the ordinary last night and make a beef stew that many of you might not have experienced before. The rich flavors of citrus and beef stock combine with the deep elements of cinnamon and fish sauce to create a delicious meal. We start by searing our meat in a cast iron skillet, letting the wonderful fats caramelize and coax out the flavor. We then add all of our aromatics to cook for a moment before de-glazing with our citrus. After 5 hours in a crock ...

White Chocolate Bark With A Twist
December 10, 2013 by 3 Comments
I've never been a big fan of the flavor of coconut (I know, I know), so fat bombs have never held much appeal to me. Then I discovered that coconut butter (also called coconut cream) has less of that coconut taste. To make things even better, I discovered cacao butter. Cacao butter is the fat extracted from the cacao been. It smells like chocolate, but is an off white color. As soon as I started working with it, I realized this would be my ticket to making white chocolate. Because of the ...

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 ...

October 18, 2016 by 4 Comments
Just in time for fall, just when you think you’re going to miss out on the best flavors of the season, here are some of the best cheesecake bars I’ve ever eaten – keto or not!

The base layer is mildly flavored with classic gingerbread spices and the cheesecake layer gets a flavor boost from naturally sweet, fiber-rich pumpkin. These bars are so easy to make, but they do take some time start to finish, mostly due to the ...

Low Carb Sweet & Sour Chicken
December 21, 2013 by 57 Comments
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 ...

Thai Chicken Zoodles
January 11, 2015 by 5 Comments
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.

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
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 ...
