Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl (Crack Slaw)

Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl (Crack Slaw)

Egg rolls are delicious. They're crispy, packed full of flavor, and easy to eat, but they are far from being keto-friendly. At first, I thought it would be impossible to emulate an egg roll on keto. However, when I took the first bite of this egg roll in a bowl (AKA crack slaw), I forgot all about the wrapper. Now, whenever the craving hits, I know I can whip up a keto egg roll in a bowl in half the time it takes to get takeout. Are Egg Rolls Keto? Egg rolls are not keto-friendly.  They ...

Low Carb Pasta a la Carbonara

Low Carb Pasta a la Carbonara

So, what if I were to tell you that the pasta you see above is actually low carb and fits well into the keto lifestyle? I know, I was gob-smacked too! Pasta and rice have always been the 2 true things that I miss on keto. Cauliflower rice does the trick (especially when fried, mmmm) for one part, but the keto pasta I never figured out. Zoodles, shirataki noodles, kelp noodles...none of them ever did the trick for me. The resemblance was there, but the taste and texture were never there. These ...

Keto Faux Sous Vide Egg Bites

Keto Faux Sous Vide Egg Bites

I've been seeing these egg bites frequent the internet quite a lot lately. They're delicious, they're portable, and they're now keto friendly! That's right, these little breakfast morsels are inspired by Starbucks' Sous Vide Egg Bites. The biggest problem I had with the original recipe is that you need a sous vide machine. While they're an amazing piece of equipment to have around the house - most people don't. And, they're over $130 for a decent one! Plus, the original recipe takes over an ...

5 Minute Keto Egg Drop Soup

I've been really wanting to post some simple and easy meals for a few weeks now. I've been working and experimenting to see what I can come up with, that takes the least amount of time but has the most impact flavor wise.

I wanted to make something that was tasty, but I didn't want to stand around in the kitchen for an ...

Autism and the Ketogenic Diet

Autism and the Ketogenic Diet

One of the most complex conditions known to man is autism or autism spectrum disorder, and the number of children with the disorder keeps increasing. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates autism's prevalence as 1 in 68 children in the United States, whereas only one out of every 2,000 children had autism in the 1970's and 1980s. Despite the alarming rise in cases of autism spectrum disorder over the past 40 years, answers are still out of reach. Due to the variability ...

Keto And Alzheimer’s Disease

Keto And Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer's disease is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease and the leading cause of dementia. For decades, researchers have been struggling to find therapies that prevent or, at least, delay the progression of the disease, but now we have some promising evidence. Current research suggests that the ketogenic diet and ketones have a wide range of neurological benefits that help address many factors that contribute to the progression of Alzheimer's disease. However, before we get into ...

Fiesta Slaw with Avocado Lime Dressing

Fiesta Slaw with Avocado Lime Dressing

Whether its barbecue or snow season, coleslaw is always a staple for an easy salad or side item. Traditional coleslaw is made with sugar, vinegar, and loads of veggies. Though it could be fairly low in calories, it could also pack a whopping 20 or more carbs per ½ cup serving! This fresh low-carb take on a family favorite combines the powerful flavors of cilantro, avocado oil, and lime with a hearty, fiber-packed cabbage mix. The dressing is a variation of homemade mayonnaise using a ...

Hot Sausage & Pepper Soup

Hot Sausage & Pepper Soup

The soup is a delicious combination between spicy and savory. The second it hits your mouth, the savory notes of the Italian sausage combined with cumin take over. It is slowly offset by the rich fats that simmer into the beef stock. On the finish, a slight spice will wash over the back of your tongue, leaving you with the desire to eat more. Crock pots are extremely useful - they're convenient, easy to cook with, and you don't have to babysit them. It's a true "set it and forget it" ...

Garlic Burgers with Cream Sauce and Broccoli

Garlic Burgers with Cream Sauce and Broccoli

Sink your teeth into these garlic burgers with a side of broccoli and delicious cream sauce. Burgers are a classic keto meal, but I always enjoy spicing it up to add more variety into my weekly dishes. One key component of this recipe is when cooking the cream sauce, keep the excess butter and other frying juices in the pan. This really ties everything together, cooking the flavors of the burger into the sauce. Dipping the broccoli into this sauce makes it that much better - bringing a ...
