Keto Chicken Thighs – 10 Recipes and 4 Essential Rules

Keto Chicken Thighs – 10 Recipes and 4 Essential Rules

It is hard not to like chicken thighs. Despite being one of the cheapest meats, they are packed with more flavor and healthy fats than costlier cuts like chicken breast. Surprisingly enough, the benefits of chicken thighs only increase as the cost goes down. By opting for bone-in, skin-on thighs — instead of the more expensive boneless, skinless option — you can reap the benefits of collagen and bone broth without having to pay extra for keto supplements.  To help you get the most out of ...

Elizabeth Got Her Health & Energy Back with Keto

Elizabeth Got Her Health & Energy Back with Keto

I think I first saw mention of keto on the hypothyroidism subreddit. I became curious first because my doctor had already told me I needed to restrict carbs and second because this hypo sufferer on reddit claimed keto allowed her to lose a ton of weight easily. I was duly suspect. The only time I had been able to lose significant weight was with a Herculean effort in college. I ate a starvation diet, tracking my calories through Weight Watchers. I exercised religiously. I didn't go out with ...

Keto Hummus

Keto Hummus

The creamy deliciousness of hummus is hard to resist. Unfortunately, so are the high-carb ingredients. Most hummus products and recipes rely on chickpeas (garbanzo beans) — a legume with ~5 grams of net carbs per ounce. This renders what could be a keto-friendly dip into something that is difficult to fit into the keto diet. Rather than avoiding hummus altogether, we’ve decided to convert it to the keto side. With this recipe, we’ll show you how to make keto hummus without the ...

Baconscotch Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Baconscotch Chocolate Chunk Cookies

The reaction I get out of people when I say the words chocolate and bacon together is absolutely priceless. They look so disgusted, but they're in the dark on this one.

If you need to know how to make it, we have a how-to on candied bacon. You'll also need to know how to make chocolate ganache. If you need, we have a ...

Delicious Cauliflower Hummus with Harissa Crackers

Delicious Cauliflower Hummus with Harissa Crackers

A hummus dip is something I often miss since chickpeas are firmly off the menu for me. I set out to recreate a low carb version with classic middle eastern flavors. Enter cauliflower, the keto friendly vegetable that is so versatile! Once blended, the cauliflower takes on the creamy earthy notes that are perfect for this dish. Especially when coupled with the tahini, garlic, and lemon. It won’t matter that this isn’t the real deal. Served with the hummus are these deliciously spicy ...

Our Top 10 Keto Muffin Recipes

Our Top 10 Keto Muffin Recipes

Ever since the end of the 18th century, American style muffins have been the perfect excuse to have something sweet and cakey for breakfast. It all began with simple ingredients like sugar and flour to make a quick sweet bread, then they started adding sweet treats like fruit and chocolate or savory foods like bacon, cheese, and herbs. The result is a delicious breakfast that everyone loves, but the flour and other carb-rich ingredients make them into a low carb keto dieters nightmare. The ...

The Guide to a Dairy Free Keto Diet

Doesn't it seem like dairy is in everything? From keto recipes to high-carb snacks and candy, there's some kind of milk product in so many things that we eat. This isn't a problem if you're not allergic or intolerant to dairy at all, but what should you do if struggle with lactose or dairy proteins — especially when you are on a diet that typically consists of a lot of dairy like the ketogenic diet?
