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 ...

Asian Cucumber Salad
June 1, 2014 by 8 Comments
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 ...

Avocado Tuna Melt Bites
July 2, 2015 by 29 Comments
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
December 26, 2013 by 33 Comments
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 ...

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 ...

Keto Style Szechuan Chicken
January 31, 2014 by 13 Comments
Spicy with a hint of sweet. This chicken will knock your socks off and you'll continue to eat it because it's fantastic! For me, the garnish of just a few gratings of lime and lemon really took it over the edge. The subtle citrus notes as I was eating added a great contrast in flavors through the dish. I tried to stay away from Asian food, but it just never works out! I wanted something that was both a bit sweet and very spicy. While I was making the sauce for this it didn't taste extremely ...

Keto Thai Chicken Flatbread Pizza
May 6, 2015 by 2 Comments
My girlfriend has been begging me to make a keto copycat of her favorite pizza: the Thai Chicken Pizza from California Pizza Kitchen. Though I've never had it before, I love experimenting with Thai style flavors, and thought this would be a really great treat to have! Of course, I'm using the same pizza base as the pepperoni pizza many of you have tried on the site - though we make it a little bit flatter and opt to go for the flatbread shape. All said and done, it was a magnificent keto ...

Keto Crispy Ginger Mackerel Lunch Bowl
July 30, 2019 by Leave a Comment
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 ...
