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 ...

Best Low Carb Rice Substitutes for Keto
January 15, 2021 by Leave a Comment
Some of the most delicious dishes feature rice as a key ingredient. Risotto, fried rice, paella, and sushi, for example, all rely on this starch-filled grain, but are there any rice varieties that won’t pack on the carbs? Unfortunately, the answer is no. If you’re on a non-keto low-carb or standard ketogenic diet, you should avoid rice for optimal results. That being said, you can still get your rice fix by using low-carb substitutes and keto recipes. Let’s begin our journey through the ...

London Broil is Falling Down
February 28, 2014 by 6 Comments
Every once in a while we just need something that consists of throwing a piece of meat and a couple spices into a slow cooker. Go off to work, or out of the house, and then come back to a fully cooked and delicious meal. If that's your case, this is the one for you! The meat ends up being extremely tender and pulls apart with a spoon. In memory of an old nursery rhyme I sang as a kid: "London broil is falling down, falling down, falling down. London broil is falling down, my fair lady. London ...

Pumpkin Pie Spice Scone Cookies
October 11, 2014 by 4 Comments
I recently went to Trader Joe's and saw that they had some Pumpkin Scone cookies on sale. It seemed almost too good to be true when I laid my eyes on them, but I definitely wanted to re-create these and have them be a part of my keto repertoire as soon as possible. Truth be told, my girlfriend has a bit of a sweet tooth and was really insistent on having a keto version. So, after heading to the farmer's market, I saw these beautiful squash on sale for only $1 per! I couldn't resist as the ...

One-Pan Pepper Jack Brussels Sprouts
July 3, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Brussels sprouts have not always been a fan favorite of the vegetable world. Even my own mother refused to cook them due to her traumatic childhood experience with the miniature cabbage! But the truth about this stalky cabbage, grown for the edible buds, is that it is packed with vitamin C and vitamin K and a moderate amount of fiber. In fact, one cup of Brussels sprouts has nearly double the amount of vitamin C as the same amount of oranges! This one-pan side dish begins with blanched ...

What is Monounsaturated Fat? Everything You Need to Know About This Healthy Fat
April 3, 2019 by Leave a Comment
Of the four types of dietary fat, monounsaturated fat is the only one that isn’t riddled with controversy. Just one search for “healthy fat” will yield thousands of articles recommending the consumption of foods that are high in monounsaturated fats. Regardless of the diet or the person, it seems that this fatty acid is unanimously crowned as being healthy. The same cannot be said for other naturally occurring fats like saturated fats and polyunsaturated fats, which both have research backing ...

Keto Carrot Cake
July 14, 2020 by 3 Comments
Carrot cake is far from keto-friendly. The carrots, cake, and cream cheese icing saturate each slice with excess sugar and net carbs. Although you can have other types of cake on keto — such as chocolate mug cake or keto cheesecake — they simply don't match the unique texture and flavor of a high-quality carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. However, this doesn't mean you have to give up carrot cake to reach your keto goals. In fact, by using what we've learned from other low-carb cake ...
