Garlic and Herb Breadstick Bites

Garlic and Herb Breadstick Bites

August 28, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Keto biscuits and breadsticks are so great for those times when you need something to curb your cravings for the carb-laden real thing. That’s why I love this variation on a buttery cheddar biscuit. It’s in bite-sized stick form! It’s got all the flavors of the popular cheddar and herb biscuit you can get at a certain seafood restaurant, but with a crispy crumble that is great for dunking in soups or even tossing on a keto salad. I invited my family over to test out this recipe and I ...

Beanless Low Carb Chili Con Carne

Most people have a chili recipe that they use weekly and cook in big batches. Well, this one is mine! It's tasty, full of flavor, and lasts great in the fridge. Every time I make this I have lunch and dinner done for me for at least a couple of days ahead of time. You can even freeze it and microwave it if you're in a pinch for something fast and convenient. I've tried a number of low carb chili and this one turned out to be my favorite. Not many use curry powder, but I am a huge fan of ...

If you have been wanting to try tofu for the first time, this recipe is perfect for beginners! Tofu takes on the flavor of what food or sauce it has been cooked with, which makes it very versatile in vegetarian and vegan keto cooking. This recipe combines sweet with spicy in a thick and creamy peanut sauce and is wrapped in a leafy lettuce cup. These are then topped with crunchy peanuts and fragrant green onion for extra crunch! In typical tofu preparation, you must press the tofu to ...

Butter Paneer Chicken Curry

Butter Paneer Chicken Curry

November 2, 2013 by 15 Comments

I've always been a lover of curry, but this one really had me excited about trying something new. I rarely experiment with new flavors anymore, but this was the first time I was trying paneer. It is fantastic! If I had to describe paneer, I'd say it's very creamy and rich, and really added a good texture to the curry. If you have the wiggle room, you can add an onion to this - I have done it before and it adds a nice sweet note to it, along with a texture boost. Photos courtesy ...

I love stuffed mushrooms, they're just the happiest vessels for whatever you want to put inside. These are made with spinach, cheese, and bacon - which happens to be one of my favorite flavor trio's. These cheese and bacon stuffed mushrooms are tasty and filling, so be sure to give them a try. This recipe is pretty fast to prepare as a side dish for dinner, or a snack when a friend's drop by. To make it come together even easier just make pre-cook the bacon then also reserve the grease ...

It's a cause for celebration! Not only is it Friday today, it's also National Donut Day. Time to whip out the donut maker and crank up the heat, because it's donuts for breakfast this morning. These donuts are so incredibly simple. All in all, it takes about 5 minutes to get the batter put together, and around 20 minutes to cook all of them - 25 minutes from start to finish and you'll have a plate packed full of delicious, decadent morsels. These little guys taste fantastic. Though I do ...

Low Carb Pumpkin Cheesecake Tarts

Low Carb Pumpkin Cheesecake Tarts

November 28, 2013 by 5 Comments

I was in a rush to get these done for Thanksgiving, because the ovens are going to be in full effect tomorrow and I'd have no time to make these delicious little guys. The dough was pretty crumbly, so I smashed them into the cupcake tin, and hoped for the best. I decided to par-cook them for a little bit first to try to give them a bit of sturdiness before I spooned in the mixture. I also chilled the dough for 30 minutes before putting it in the tins, because it was falling apart on me when I ...

Keto Bites: General Tso’s Chicken

Keto Bites: General Tso’s Chicken

December 24, 2013 by 38 Comments

One of my all-time favorites. My go-to when I used to order from the Chinese take away. One of the reasons I got fat in the first place. General Tso's Chicken. The sweet, spicy, savory mixture of sticky sauce slathering that chicken is something I never wanted to forget. This goes great with Cauliflower Fried Rice! I've been experimenting with the sauce since I made the sweet and sour chicken, and I've hit the nail on the head! This is one recipe that those of us on a ketogenic diet ...

Dirty, Lazy Keto vs. Clean Keto: Should You Go Clean?

October 5, 2019 by Leave a Comment

We all naturally fall somewhere on the spectrum between squeaky clean keto and dirty lazy keto — even if we aren’t aware of it. The way of eating that you end up following ultimately depends on two crucial factors: (1) how healthy, sustainable, and effective the diet is for you and  (2) the values that drive your decisions (e.g.,  your budget, your health, religious beliefs, environmental/animal welfare concerns, and anything else that you prioritize when making a decision about what to ...
