Brussels Sprouts with Melted Leeks and Prosciutto

Brussels Sprouts with Melted Leeks and Prosciutto

January 10, 2017 by Leave a Comment

While Brussels sprouts and leeks aren’t what first come to mind when we think of low-carb and ketogenic diet friendly foods, we can incorporate these nutritionally dense foods into the diet on occasion. What it takes is the right combination of ingredients to get the balance of fats, carbs and proteins. Here, we cook the vegetables in a healthy amount of coconut oil, which causes the leeks to almost “melt” into the sprouts, creating a rich silky texture. Topping it off, we splurge on some ...

I've bought shiritaki noodles in the past and I'm just the type of person that can't get over the texture of the things. They're just not that delicious pasta that I want when I think of a hearty dish. They're closer to eating rubber bands, wrestling with the texture to chew them up and be able to swallow. I know some people love them, but I just can't get over them! I decided to try a new take on how to use them, and this way they turned out pretty great! Though they do reduce to about 1/4 ...

Cinnamon and Orange Beef Stew

Cinnamon and Orange Beef Stew

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 ...

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!  Gingerbread pumpkin cheesecake bars are a filling keto treat. 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 ...

I've been on a mission lately to use up different ingredients found around most common households. There's been quite a few e-mails sent to me lately about tuna melts. I never really had too many of these pre-keto, but I've had my fair share of grilled cheese and knew exactly what to do to get something portable, easy to make, and perfect for any time of the day. These keto tuna melt bites really fit the bill. The crispy outside matches great with the soft, creamy filling on the inside. It ...

Low Carb Macadamia Nut Brownies

I've been making so many sweets lately that I had to take a bit of a break and allow the leftovers to be eaten before making more. Being on a keto diet, it's hard for me to keep eating sweets, even if they are low carb, because I find my cravings start to come back after I eat them. Low and behold, everything is gone and I wanted to make something I haven't done in a while. I settled on brownies because I haven't really gotten around to making a cake, and I have only been making cookies ...

I’ve fallen in love with mackerel! It’s an oily fish that’s consumed all over the world, but not something I got into until recently. It’s high in omega-3’s, which is something I’m always looking to get more of. This recipe takes mackerel and turns it into a flavor-packed meal. We marinate the fish in ginger, lemon, and coconut aminos before roasting it in the oven. The base of the bowl is broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes, and peppers. Then everything is finished off with roasted almonds and ...
