Artichokes with Keto-Friendly Anchovy Mayonnaise

Artichokes with Keto-Friendly Anchovy Mayonnaise

June 28, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Artichokes are a low calorie and nutrient-dense vegetable. It is a good source of magnesium (we need that in keto!) and antioxidants. Artichokes do not take much to prepare.  All you need is a pot of salted boiling water. It is great for "keto-on-the-go" because cooking can be finished the night before. Make sure though, to let it cool completely and keep it covered in the refrigerator. No reheating necessary but, if you must, a microwave will do. Tender artichoke petals is a good ...

I haven't done meatballs in a while and I wanted to see if I could put an Asian twist on some of the meats I had in the fridge. Well, I had ground pork and ground beef - so it was an easy one. Tons of limes are found throughout my house because I love them to bits - so I tossed some lime juice in pretty much everything I could and called it a day. These meatballs pack a bit of a punch, so if you're the type of person that doesn't like the heat, de-seed your chili peppers! The taste? Well, the ...

Fat is a key component of the ketogenic diet. In fact, how much fat on keto in your diet will determine whether you achieve your goals or struggle to get the scale moving.

I have been seeing beautiful donut creations all over Instagram lately and it’s been inspiring me to make some ornate donuts that are keto friendly! I am a firm believer that food should look as good as it tastes.  I’ve been on a toffee nut kick so I decided to make a simple vanilla cake donut.  Then I decorated it with sweet and salty toffee nuts, and a healthy dose of low-carb dark chocolate coating. I added a touch of coconut because it’s pretty and it tastes good. It’s a win-win! But the ...

Low Carb Sweet & Sour Chicken

Low Carb Sweet & Sour Chicken

December 21, 2013 by 57 Comments

Chinese food has been a weakness for me since I first tasted it. Fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, general tso's, chow mein. Everything I can't have on a ketogenic diet. If you're missing the fried rice, don't fret - you can make an accompanying Cauliflower Fried Rice! Through the years I have built up a resistance to Chinese food, eventually not getting cravings for it and not even thinking about it. The other day I was surfing the internet and saw a picture of some delicious looking sweet ...
