Keto Cauliflower Tabbouleh

Keto Cauliflower Tabbouleh

February 14, 2019 by Leave a Comment

I’ve recently fallen in love with the convenience of cauliflower rice in a bag. It’s located in a huge number of grocery stores now in both the fresh food and frozen section, which makes preparing keto meals easy on a tight schedule! I’ve been thinking up new ways to use cauliflower rice and I was so excited to try a vegan mock tabbouleh recipe that would stay low in carbs but bring that flavor that I miss from the customarily grain heavy dish. I’m so glad I did because this dish is easy and so ...

Finding the right kinds of side dishes on a ketogenic diet can be difficult. You usually end up defaulting to some salad soaked in dressing or vegetables sauteed in oil and butter. But, sometimes we just want a change that seems impossible to do if we need that extra boost of fat to stick on the plate. Sometimes a few leaves of greens just won't cut it, and we want something hearty, full of fats, and delicious to boot. There are days I find myself going overboard for a few hours, stalking ...

The ketogenic diet and the Atkins diet have both helped thousands of people achieve incredible fat loss results and improve health. However, there is much controversy surrounding which approach is best for weight loss, how healthy they are, and how they work. Both diets focus on restricting carbs to lose fat, but the Atkins diet approaches this from a different angle than the keto diet. The hallmark (and benchmark) of the keto diet is sustaining nutritional ketosis, while the Atkins diet ...

You (or a loved one) probably have high triglycerides. This sounds like the beginning of a drug commercial, but it’s true.

So, what does this mean exactly? What should you do if your doctor says that you have “high triglycerides”? Let’s take a closer look at these crucial questions and help you find ...

A quick search for weight loss tips will yield thousands of options, from fasting to fad diets to keto diet plans.

So, if another 30-day meal plan, cleanse, or diet is not the answer, then what is? We developed the ...

Garlic and Herb Monkey “Bread”

Garlic and Herb Monkey “Bread”

September 14, 2017 by 4 Comments

Yes, I know that it is sort of a stretch to compare eggplant to bread. Once it’s covered in cheese I can say with certainty that you won’t miss the gluten. Especially when it comes to this keto spin on traditional garlic and herb monkey bread! Dig in to melty mozzarella cheese that encases each piece of cubed eggplant, and holds it together in a golden brown shell. The outside stays soft due to the texture and water content of the eggplant, but you will get a little crust on the edge and ...

I love, love, love Peri Peri!  It makes my senses explode with it's charred and spicy goodness.  The marinade is very easy to make and stores well at room temperature (or the refrigerator) - use it for chicken, beef, lamb, even as a salad dressing. For this recipe, I chose chicken thighs because it is budget-friendly, tender, delicious, and pretty much foolproof.  We're going to skewer them cause any food on a stick instantly translates to fun and festive.  Paired with a pepper and tomato ...
