Bacon and Roasted Garlic Spinach Dip

Bacon and Roasted Garlic Spinach Dip

August 8, 2014 by 12 Comments

Over the years, traditional spinach dip from the store has gotten a bit bland. It all tastes like the same stuff - cream cheese and some spices put together and poured out into the thousands of plastic containers that you see on the shelf. This? Nothing of the sort. It's packed full of flavors and bursting with a different texture in every single bite. Paired with chia crackers or pork rinds, nobody that's eating this will even have a clue they're eating keto - it's that good! Whether you're ...

Keto Queso Dip

A while back I talked about my love of pimento/sweet cherry peppers. Well, I still love them! I’m beginning to put them on everything and after having a delicious queso dip at a restaurant, I knew I had to recreate it with sweet cherry peppers. The best thing about this recipe is that it is incredibly easy! There are also many things you can do with it, add it to cauliflower for a low-carb macaroni and cheese, top your broccoli with it, put it on nachos... anything, really! The only ...

Pimento Cheese Dip

Pimento Cheese Dip

January 18, 2018 by 1 Comment

I have a new found love for sweet chilli peppers such as pimento (also known as cherry peppers). They are sweet, spicy, and best yet only 2 carbs per pepper! I recently tried pimento cheese on a burger and I figured...it was time to make it into a dip! This recipe only has 4 ingredients and is incredibly easy to make. In fact, the hardest part was finding the peppers. Now, I couldn’t find any raw pimento peppers, so instead, I picked up a pack (10 pcs) of stuffed cherry antipasto. You ...

Low Carb Chips for Keto: What to Buy and How to Make Them Yourself

Low Carb Chips for Keto: What to Buy and How to Make Them Yourself

February 23, 2021 by Leave a Comment

Chips are usually just crunchy carbs slathered with salt and oil. The best examples of this are tortilla chips and potato chips. Their palate-pleasing combination of salt, fat, and carbs makes it unnaturally easy for us to overeat them without feeling full. This is why many of us can easily eat an entire family-sized bag of chips in one sitting (and on a larger scale, this is one of the driving forces behind the rising rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes worldwide). The solution is ...

Low Carb Coconut Shrimp

Now I know the traditional ingredients of making coconut shrimp aren't in here, but trust me here - you won't be missing the old, traditional recipe. You'll get all the crunch, all the sweet and spiciness in the sauce, and all of the taste of regular coconut shrimp. Except, this time there won't be anywhere close to as many carbs. It doesn't take long to make, and it turns out fantastic! While I was cooking the shrimp, I decided to look online for an interesting way to make a dipping ...

Low Carb Crispy Fried Chicken

Low Carb Crispy Fried Chicken

December 8, 2013 by 20 Comments

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 ...

50+ Healthy Keto Snacks to Help with Ketosis

50+ Healthy Keto Snacks to Help with Ketosis

June 18, 2018 by 1 Comment

One of the most satiating diets is the keto diet. Keto-friendly foods are typically so filling that keto dieters end up eating fewer calories — and, in many cases, fewer meals — throughout the day. This allows them to lose weight sustainably. However, just because you are following keto doesn’t mean that you are immune to hunger and afternoon energy crashes. If you’re not prepared, and the convenience of processed, carb-dense snacks beckons you, you may very well find yourself with a mouthful ...

The concept of an onion ring seems insane until you take your first bite. Transforming a tear-inducing onion slice into something this delicious is nothing short of culinary magic. Unfortunately, this magic trick often relies on carb-ridden ingredients and unhealthy oils, sacrificing health for satisfaction. However, there is a better approach that allows you to make your onion rings keto-friendly, healthy, and satisfying. We'll show you how with this recipe. Are Onion Rings Keto? How ...

“Kitchen Sink” Low Carb Pizza

“Kitchen Sink” Low Carb Pizza

December 14, 2013 by 38 Comments

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

December 13, 2013 by 4 Comments

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 ...
