Eggs Benedict Casserole

Eggs Benedict Casserole

October 23, 2018 by 2 Comments

Baked eggplant mixed into ham and egg, then smothered in freshly made hollandaise sauce. This twist on the classic breakfast uses spongey eggplant as a stand-in for English muffins, but if that's not your thing then feel free to substitute zucchini. It seems like an overly decadent breakfast but it's packed full of vegetable, and uses a lot of ingredients you probably have in your kitchen already. This hollandaise is lemony and smooth, but the secret's in the vinegar. There's a lot of ...

You'll only need some almond flour and a few eggs. I used a canned ...

During Girl Scout cookie season, these can help stave off the cravings! They can be whipped up in an afternoon, and pulled from the freezer whenever you need a sweet treat. These bites are great for holiday dinners or family snacks. There is a lot of prep time involved in these, so I would set aside a couple hours for prep and execution. This may be a fun activity with some friends or older kids. Most minty desserts get that burst of fresh flavor from using extract, but I love adding ...

Cumin Crusted Pork Chops

Who can resist a crispy pork chop that's tender and juicy in the middle? You'll have some great eastern flavors coming together in this dish and I'm sure you'll be adding this one to your meal plan! I highly suggest cutting this into thin strips once the pork has been resting for at least 7 minutes after cooking. That way you aren't overwhelmed with the spices. The fragrant hints of cumin are instant when this touches your mouth. Once you start to chew, the crispy texture of the crust comes ...

Tiramisu is one of the most satisfying desserts when it's at its best. However, the process of making it yourself can be overwhelming at first, especially on the keto diet. Is it possible to make a high-quality keto tiramisu? What ingredients should you use? How do you replace the high-carb tiramisu cake layer? After researching and experimenting, I've found that tiramisu is surprisingly easy to make and fit into keto. As with other keto desserts, we'll make a few simple ingredient swaps ...

This ketofied chicken recipe features pickle juice as the brine, and protein powder as the low-carb breading alternative. The result? Juicy and golden tenders that are a perfect dupe.  Brining and frying are the secrets to cooking flavorful chicken breasts.  Using pickle juice for the brine infuses these chicken tenders with their dill flavor, plus leads to perfectly seasoned meat. Try serving these up with a side of our buffalo coleslaw, and our fire and ice pickles. These chicken strips ...

Baked Eggplant Parmesan

Baked Eggplant Parmesan

August 23, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Eggplant is a surprisingly hearty vegetable that can make a great substitute for meat or noodles. This recipe for baked eggplant Parmesan is gooey, cheesy, comfort food at its best. The eggplant gets a crispy coating, topped with a generous serving of spicy tomato sauce and cheese. What could be better? Eggplant is naturally a little bitter, but it just takes one extra easy step to make sure it has a nice neutral flavor. Slicing the eggplant into rounds and sprinkling with salt to remove ...

Lemon Glazed Spice Fritters

Lemon Glazed Spice Fritters

January 23, 2014 by 8 Comments

After going about making the Fried Cookie Dough, some people had let me know that they weren't getting the same results as me. It came down to using casein over whey protein powder (one is thicker and contains more xanthan than the other), so their dough wasn't turning out right. Others didn't want to use processed protein powders in their food - so I sought out to create something that uses neither protein or processed foods. I came up with fritters. Though the dough is a lot more sticky ...
