Ham and Cheese Keto Stromboli

October 18, 2015 by 25 Comments

When you begin a ketogenic diet, entertaining might be one of the worries you have. It's not the easiest task to overcome when you have to serve people food they can enjoy and that you can also eat. A great finger food that you can make ahead of time is a stromboli. Stromboli is traditionally served rolled up like a roll cake, but in American cuisine, most pizza places will serve their stromboli folded up similarly to a calzone. You can think of this as a very large savory danish that you ...

Instant Pot King Ranch Chicken Soup

Instant Pot King Ranch Chicken Soup

October 25, 2018 by Leave a Comment

This spicy chicken soup is wonderfully hearty and so easy to create. Chicken, butter, and spices are simmered in the Instant Pot then thickened up with cream, xanthan gum, and cheese. If you don't have an Instant Pot you can also cook in a slow cooker for 4-6 hours. This soup smells amazing! I always get compliments from other people in the house when I create it. I think you'll like this if you enjoy our King Ranch Chicken Casserole, but don't have a lot of time to create the low-carb ...

Low Carb Crispy Fried Chicken

Low Carb Crispy Fried Chicken

December 8, 2013 by 20 Comments

Remember those Cheddar and Bacon BBQ Meatballs that I made the other day? Well, I had leftover pork rinds from crushing them up - so I decided that I would make some fried chicken with it. Surprisingly (well, I had my suspicions anyway) it turned out really awesome! It's a great breading for fried chicken, it holds together and sticks, and tastes fantastic. My one quip about this, is to make sure that you don't use a food processor to crush up the pork rinds. I used a rolling pin to ...

These ooey gooey squares of goodness are one of the best ways to get a side in when you need a lot of fat. By itself, this cheese isn't the best - but it has the solubility to stand up to the high temperature required for frying. Get a nice layer of crisp on these bad boys and they're seriously good eats. They make for great snacks, or a great side item to a lean meal or keto Mexican meal. Just be aware that they don't save great - they're best served hot. Yields 5 total servings The ...

Huevos Rancheros is a favorite Sunday breakfast --- was and will continue to be as it is ketofied! By using cheese and eggs as the base, we eliminate corn and flour tortillas. Admittedly, it takes a bit of patience, but once you get past the first one, the rest is easy peasy! With the addition of chipotle chili, we achieve a wickedly spicy and smoky salsa. A little goes a long way! The melted and melded cheese makes it easy to pick up. Runny yolks, need I say more? All pantry staples ...

There is nothing more comforting than a bowl of hot noodles and this dish is umami-packed without the guilt of wheat! We are using kelp noodles. They are clear, thin, almost glass-like noodles. Kelp is a seaweed that is rich in iodine. They are technically not noodles - think of it as a sea vegetable that is fat-free, gluten-free, and very low in carbohydrates. Because it looks like ramen noodles, you may use it anywhere you would use actual noodles, think hot broths and stir-fries! Kelp ...

Crepes are the perfect compromise between a thick, heavy pancake and a thin, soft tortilla. You can eat them by the stack, turn them into a breakfast wrap, or transform them into a uniquely satisfying dessert. However, along with pancakes and tortilla, traditional crepes rely on high-carb flours and sugary additions as well. This is why it’s best to make them yourself to keep your meal keto-friendly as you satisfy your crepe craving. Simply replace the all-purpose flour and sugar for ...
