Cauliflower Cheddar Bacon Casserole
May 24, 2014 by 20 Comments
Casseroles are something I don't do too often, just because I prefer not to freeze too much food - but I had a bunch of stuff laying around in my kitchen and had no clue what to do with it. Casseroles are pretty handy to do once a month, to clean up any food that might be going bad and combine a ton of flavors into one compact meal. This turned out exactly as you'd expect - very flavorful meats through each bite, extreme amounts of cheese, and a delicious crunch from the cauliflower. If ...

Traveling on Keto
March 9, 2015 by 16 Comments
Maintaining the keto way of eating while traveling: I can’t count the number of times that I've been e-mailed, messaged, or asked about this topic. It’s a common factor that when people travel, they’re just not sure if they can keep up with a high-fat ketogenic lifestyle. A few months ago, my girlfriend and I went on a small vacation through Portland and Seattle. I wanted to document all of the food I was eating to share the experience and to provide some tips and tricks with all of the ...

The 10 Best Keto Pizza Recipes
January 11, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Pizza is one of the most widely consumed foods in westernized countries — especially in the United States. In fact, pizza is the 5th most common calorie source for all Americans ages 2 and up, making up an average of around 98 calories per day of the American diet. Unfortunately, these findings aren't surprising when you consider how pizza can satisfy almost every craving and stimulate every aspect of your palate. With its saltiness, starchy dough, cheese, a bit of sweetness from the ...

Vegan Sesame Tofu and Eggplant
May 2, 2017 by 3 Comments
This sesame tofu and eggplant recipe makes a wonderful light lunch, and is surprisingly vegan. The eggplant is julienned then tossed with a spicy Asian style marinade before it's cooked down into soft noodles. The tofu slices are crusted with sesame seeds then pan seared and caramelized with soy sauce. I love these eggplant noodles because the spongy texture allows them to soak up all of the flavors. I love zucchini noodles too, but sometimes it's nice to use something that's a little ...

Low Carb Chicken Satay
March 27, 2014 by 2 Comments
As you all know, I love Asian inspired recipes...but most of the time they just take forever to prepare. I wanted to set out to get a soft peanut butter taste that paired well with the salty and umami flavors that soy brings to the table. I think this one hit the spot! It brings all the savory, sweet, and acidic element you look for in an asian dish - then adds some crunch and color on the top with peppers and onions. Start to finish in less than 20 minutes is not something you can bat ...

Soy Sauce Marinated Deviled Eggs
April 18, 2017 by 1 Comment
Do you think that hard boiled eggs are boring? Well, think again! These eggs are marinated just like the eggs you find at a ramen restaurant, then whipped with cream cheese and chives. They're salty with a touch of sweet, and make the perfect appetizer or snack. The first time I encountered a version of this recipe was from a wonderful cookbook by Harumi Kurihara. She is kind of like Martha Stewart in Japan. I was fascinated by these brown dyed eggs, and she suggested toppings like cream ...

Erica Buteau Lost 150 lbs
December 17, 2016 by 3 Comments
You're so freaking heavy you outweigh my Chevy!" were daily chants as I boarded the school bus. I'd become subject of the majority of the boys' fat jokes. "You have such a pretty face...you would be so beautiful if you just lost a few pounds," was repeated by so many of my well meaning family members. Three times per week I climbed on the scale in the nurse's office at my elementary school. I listened to all the benefits I could have if I just started making better food choices. The words ...
