“Kitchen Sink” Low Carb Pizza

“Kitchen Sink” Low Carb Pizza

It's that time of year when I do a cleaning out of the fridge. Things that have been sitting at the back, behind all your favorite sauces, those things you don't even remember? Yep, we're going to make a pizza out of that! Pizza, you say? But does it actually hold up without falling and crumbling into a thousand pieces? It definitely does! I had some bacon that was starting to discolor, some creamy spinach dip that was just about to expire, and a can of chicken that I needed to get rid ...

Bacon Wrapped Low Carb Scotch Eggs

Bacon Wrapped Low Carb Scotch Eggs

I've had a lot of bacon and eggs on hand lately, and by a lot I mean 48 eggs and 5 pounds of bacon. I need to use it up, and I figured I would start making eggs and bacon only, for the next few days. Trying to create some new ways to enjoy these guys, instead of the old bacon and scrambled eggs. Scotch eggs are a fantastic treat, and while it's hard not wanting to gulp down a dark ale while I'm eating one (or three) of these, they're still a delicacy I haven't encountered for years. The ...

Perfect Cup of Keto Coffee

Perfect Cup of Keto Coffee

Keto coffee is quite a bit healthier than your average breakfast, and it has the calories to match. Commonly used in intermittent fasting, keto butter coffee gives plenty of energy and a great satiated feeling throughout the morning fasting hours. Now, I want to explain this further. Drinking this coffee will break your fast from the night time, but it will ramp up your metabolism with caffeine and fats. This is to help you get through the fasting process in the 10+ hours ...

Low Carb Crispy Fried Chicken

Low Carb Crispy Fried Chicken

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 ...

Catalina Style Dressing

Catalina Style Dressing

I love being able to whip up a keto salad dressing from scratch with my emulsion blender! Even if I don't have my homemade ketchup on hand for this recipe, it only takes a few minutes more to make it first. Keeping my fermented ketchup or mayo (which last quite a while) on hand really makes this a cinch! They are the base for most of my salad dressings. The Catalina is one of our favorites. It has a tangy sweet taste that is both subtle and rich. It goes well with just about any kind of salad ...

Basics to Curing Bacon

Basics to Curing Bacon

Written by kjudd on Reddit. He has given me permission to post this here. Right, so I've read the easiest thing to try when dipping your feet into charcuterie was bacon. Let's just say that affordable bacon here is, well…crap. I’m talking about main supermarket branded stuff here, none of the higher quality artisan bacon. I underlined affordable because, I, like most of you eat this stuff a lot. So, I figured if I can make a higher quality bacon at home for a similar price, why not? ...

Calorie Counting on the Ketogenic Diet

Calorie Counting on the Ketogenic Diet

Calorie counting is a great tool for people to use to get a rough idea of caloric intakes, as well as a way to pinpoint mistakes they might have made if they hit a plateau. This may raise the question, "How many calories should I eat on keto?" Well, that depends... You might have been told that counting calories is not needed on a ketogenic diet because it causes more weight loss than other diets. That’s not exactly true. Would you be burning more calories than a low-fat diet? Most likely, ...

Using the Fat Fasting Technique

Using the Fat Fasting Technique

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 ...

Essential Fatty Acids: Omega 3 and Omega 6

Essential Fatty Acids: Omega 3 and Omega 6

Although the human body can manufacture most of the fats it needs from other fats, carbohydrates, and protein, there are two groups of unsaturated fatty acids that cannot be manufactured in the body — omega-3s and omega-6s. These are known as “essential fatty acids,” and they can help regulate body composition, cell function, immune response, and improve overall health and well-being. In fact, we can’t survive without the critical roles that omega-3s and omega-6 fatty acids play throughout ...
