My girlfriend has been begging me to make a keto copycat of her favorite pizza: the Thai Chicken Pizza from California Pizza Kitchen. Though I've never had it before, I love experimenting with Thai style flavors, and thought this would be a really great treat to have! Of course, I'm using the same pizza base as the pepperoni pizza many of you have tried on the site - though we make it a little bit flatter and opt to go for the flatbread shape. All said and done, it was a magnificent keto ...

I turned to my Instant Pot to create a rib recipe that turns out tender, flavorful, ribs in a fraction of ...

5 Minute Keto Pesto
July 9, 2015 by 7 Comments
Typically pesto is a very simple recipe of basil, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and olive oil. Over the years people have added more and more ingredients to this classic recipe in order to adapt to tastes and preferences. My personal addition is the tomato paste.
