Cast Iron Kitchen Sink Frittata

Cast Iron Kitchen Sink Frittata

January 24, 2014 by 7 Comments

I've been wanting to do a frittata in a cast iron skillet for a long time, but could never do it. I'm so glad I finally got around to it because the crust this thing created is phenomenal. A little bit crunchy, and then a whole lot of egg, meat, and cheese. I recently got my cast iron skillet off of amazon. It's pre-seasoned, but if you buy one (and I highly suggest it), you should re-season it yourself. Wash it with only water and salt. Wipe it down with olive oil or bacon fat and bake it at ...

Ever since the end of the 18th century, American style muffins have been the perfect excuse to have something sweet and cakey for breakfast. It all began with simple ingredients like sugar and flour to make a quick sweet bread, then they started adding sweet treats like fruit and chocolate or savory foods like bacon, cheese, and herbs. The result is a delicious breakfast that everyone loves, but the flour and other carb-rich ingredients make them into a low carb keto dieters nightmare. The ...

Bread is one of most widely consumed foods in westernized societies. In the United States, it is the second most commonly eaten food, following closely behind grain-based desserts.

From delicious foods that use bread as an edible food delivery mechanism like sandwiches and hamburgers to the meals that are served with a side of bread like soups, salads, and pasta, it is almost astonishing that we don't ...

June 29, 2018 by 15 Comments

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. For example, If you eat too much fat, then your weight loss progress will stall, and you may even start to gain more body fat.

Traveling on Keto

March 9, 2015 by 22 Comments

Maintaining the keto way of eating while traveling: I can’t count the number of times that I've been e-mailed, messaged, or asked about this topic. It’s a common factor that when people travel, they’re just not sure if they can keep up with a high-fat ketogenic lifestyle. A few months ago, my girlfriend and I went on a small vacation through Portland and Seattle. I wanted to document all of the food I was eating to share the experience and to provide some tips and tricks with all of the ...

The Keto Diet for Couples: Proof that You Can Conquer Weight Loss

March 27, 2018 by 4 Comments

My fiance and I met 7 years ago and did not know we would embark on a journey for a keto diet for couples. We had both brought our childhood obesity into adulthood but had done work separately before we met to be healthier. We were pretty fitness focused and the smallest we ever were in our adult lives at the point when we met. We vowed to continue being healthy, but many years of good food, back injuries for each of us and pizza nights saw us tipping the scales at double our “normal” body ...

March 7, 2020 by 5 Comments

Nuts are known for their vitamin, mineral, fiber, and healthy fat content. What is often overlooked, however, is how many carbs they add to the diet. Since nuts are designed by nature to provide nourishment for a new plant, each one comes with some net carbs in the form of starches and sugars. This is why it is crucial to consider the carb counts of each nut before you incorporate them into your keto lifestyle. To give you a better idea of the best nuts for keto, let's take a look at carbs ...
