How to Hard Boil Farm Fresh Eggs

How to Hard Boil Farm Fresh Eggs

December 13, 2013 by 5 Comments

There's a difference between farm fresh eggs and store bought eggs, and that is the membrane. The membrane will cling on to the shell of the egg, being more tightly bound the younger it is. When doing hard boiled eggs with farm fresh ingredients, you want to make sure they're aged at least 3-4 days old. To test whether they are ready for use, you can dunk them into a bowl of water. If it stands on it's end, it is ready for use. If the egg is fresh, it will lay on the bottom. You want ...

The simplicity of a grilled cheese is what catches most people's eye. Warm, melty, gooey cheese spewing out the side of the crunchy and toasted bread. It's delicious, it beings us back to our childhood, and it's just a comfort food that you shouldn't have to go without. Thought you could never have that on a keto diet? Think again. I am basing the bread off of my hamburger bun recipe, which seemed to be a hit with a lot of people. Just keep in mind that if you do this in a square bowl or ...

Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole

While on a ketogenic diet, we're usually looking for simple meals that re-create old tastes that we love. A meal that I used to love to take to work was a cheeseburger salad. Practically all of the flavors of a cheeseburger, but crumbled up over lettuce. However since the cooler weather is here, I wanted to create a heartier dish that can be easily re-heated or served straight to a hungry family as-is. Plus, you may know I love my cold keto food - and this one tastes just as good right out of ...

The taste of fresh bell peppers alongside smoky bacon will leave you looking forward to the leftovers! These chicken patties are the perfect savory recipe for a chicken, bacon, and ranch salad or placed inside one of my almond buns with lettuce and that sweet, sweet sriracha (also known as nectar of the gods). They're also versatile ...

Anais Used Keto to Help With Her Cancer Treatments

Anais Used Keto to Help With Her Cancer Treatments

February 18, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Well, my story might be a little different. I actually went on the ketogenic diet because I have stage 4B Hodgkin's lymphoma. I did 6 months of chemotherapy in the winter of 2014 which didn't end up working. The next step was a bone marrow transplant, but since it was summer I wanted to wait a few months and enjoy myself. I ended up seeing a naturopath who highly recommended the keto diet since cancer cells feed on glucose. I immediately got on it and had to search really hard for all the info. ...

The Guide to Keto For Women: Lose Weight & Improve Health at Any Age

May 13, 2020 by Leave a Comment

The keto diet is so different from other weight loss diet plans that it tends to spark concern, particularly regarding women’s health. There is no doubt that carb restriction can promote substantial amounts of fat loss for many women, but its impact on hormone levels, fertility, pregnancy, and menopause is often misunderstood. This naturally begs the question: Do keto weight loss results come at a cost, or is the diet a win-win for women's health? To help answer this critical question, ...

Keto Hummus

Keto Hummus

June 23, 2020 by Leave a Comment

The creamy deliciousness of hummus is hard to resist. Unfortunately, so are the high-carb ingredients. Most hummus products and recipes rely on chickpeas (garbanzo beans) — a legume with ~5 grams of net carbs per ounce. This renders what could be a keto-friendly dip into something that is difficult to fit into the keto diet. Rather than avoiding hummus altogether, we’ve decided to convert it to the keto side. With this recipe, we’ll show you how to make keto hummus without the ...
