“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 ...

Asparagus Fries with Red Pepper Aioli

Whether summer is in full swing or we are in the depths of a winter freeze, asparagus is always on my menu! There are so many versatile ways to prepare those sturdy green stalks. My absolute favorite way is crispy baked asparagus fries! Yes, I said fries. On keto. Keto-fries. These babies are crispy and cheesy on the outside, but still easy enough to bite into. Fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese add a tangy, bright, dimension that is given a little body with smoked paprika. I love to ...

Steamed Pork Cabbage Rolls

Steamed Pork Cabbage Rolls

February 7, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Egg rolls have always been one of my favorite side dishes. I’ve been finding new ways to use cabbage lately and had the idea to make these steamed pork cabbage rolls. Instead of putting shredded cabbage inside, the cabbage makes a great roll filled with savory ingredients and a bit of spice from freshly grated ginger. These don’t have a fried layer like a traditional egg roll, but that doesn’t make them any less flavorful! The dipping sauce is optional, but it adds a burst of spice that ...

Keto Coconut Curry Chicken Tenders

August 3, 2015 by 4 Comments

If you've ever been a fan of coconut shrimp, this recipe's for you! The classic coconut shrimp gets a twist with chicken and a deep curry flavor that runs throughout. To match alongside it, we pair pork rinds with the chicken to bring the flavors out and allow for a crispy chicken tender. Never thought you'd have crunchy on keto? Think again. To make the flavors of the chicken nuggets really sing, I decided that a dipping sauce was absolutely mandatory for this. A sweet and spicy mango ...

Keto Bites: General Tso’s Chicken

Keto Bites: General Tso’s Chicken

December 24, 2013 by 38 Comments

One of my all-time favorites. My go-to when I used to order from the Chinese take away. One of the reasons I got fat in the first place. General Tso's Chicken. The sweet, spicy, savory mixture of sticky sauce slathering that chicken is something I never wanted to forget. This goes great with Cauliflower Fried Rice! I've been experimenting with the sauce since I made the sweet and sour chicken, and I've hit the nail on the head! This is one recipe that those of us on a ketogenic diet ...
