Low Carb Taco Tartlets

So, you're having a party coming soon and you have no clue what to serve everyone? Well, that's the predicament I was in. I wanted something that was finger friendly, but showed I put some work into it at the same time. A little tartlet was exactly what I had in mind! The ground beef can be subbed out for pretty much any type of meat - I just have a bunch on hand that I need to use, so that's what went in. I think this would be fantastic with an Asian style ground pork also. If you've ...

Using the Fat Fasting Technique

December 1, 2013 by 316 Comments

The fat fast is a technique brought by Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution - used by people who are metabolically resistant and have trouble with their induction. Let me first say that fat fasting should be used in 2 situations and 2 situations only: Breaking through a 2 week or longer plateau. Inducing yourself into ketosis quicker, whether you are just starting keto or you had a cheat day. It is important to stress that a fat fast should only be followed for a few days maximum as it ...

When I was a kid, I loved sitting on my front doorsteps before dinner, especially because it meant my favorite treat - Neapolitan ice cream from the ice cream man! I could hear the truck coming from a mile away and would get so excited. I'd race my brother to the truck and was happiest when he had his little tiny frozen cups filled with the goodness that is chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. If you're like me, you love all three flavors, and Neapolitan gives the best of all worlds - you ...

Vanilla Whisky Keto Mug Cake

Vanilla Whisky Keto Mug Cake

March 15, 2014 by 20 Comments

With St. Patty's day coming up, it's time to figure out how to get as much alcohol into our food as possible. Not only will we be drinking it, but we need to be eating it too. Right...RIGHT? Fine, even if you don't want to drink your food, this is delicious. Very nice hints of vanilla roll through and the alcohol just comes through with enough flavor to balance it out. It will be a little less moist than the other cakes, but it pairs VERY well with a dollop of whipped cream on the top (and a ...

Keto Skirt Steak Fajitas

Keto Skirt Steak Fajitas

April 23, 2014 by Leave a Comment

Fajitas are something that I've been REALLY craving lately, so I set out to make some that weren't going to disappoint. Low and behold, these fajitas did the trick! They'll serve around 6 people, but I didn't make enough tortillas for that many. If you need to serve to a large group of people, take your time to make more tortillas than what's in the recipe. You can also make larger tortillas and serve 1 per person if you use the original recipe. You can find the tortilla recipe here, but I've ...

It should be out in a few more weeks, so keep an eye out (spoiler alert, tons of fusion recipes)! So, the last week I made some inside out buckeye cookies (converted from a non-keto recipe) at the request of on the the members in the Ketogenic Living Facebook group. She said if I could make them, she'd love me forever, so here's me ode to getting loved ...

Happy 4th of July Week everyone! This week is going to be a grilling sensation in my house and I have to make some things that'll compliment all the delicious meat and vegetables that'll be passed around the table. A cake was definitely being made, and I experimented around because I really wanted something light, sweet, and packed full of flavor. Not to mention, we can't go around having dry as a desert...dessert, can we? Well, blueberries and lime come together in this for a delicious ...
