One-Pan Pepper Jack Brussels Sprouts

One-Pan Pepper Jack Brussels Sprouts

July 3, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Brussels sprouts have not always been a fan favorite of the vegetable world. Even my own mother refused to cook them due to her traumatic childhood experience with the miniature cabbage! But the truth about this stalky cabbage, grown for the edible buds, is that it is packed with vitamin C and vitamin K and a moderate amount of fiber. In fact, one cup of Brussels sprouts has nearly double the amount of vitamin C as the same amount of oranges! This one-pan side dish begins with blanched ...

Keto Valentines: Red Velvet Doughnuts!

February 13, 2014 by 5 Comments

Valentines day is coming up and I just wanted to say thank you to each and every one of you that comes to the site and reads the articles and recipes on here! Even though a ketogenic diet can sometimes seem strict, there's always ways to bring old comfort foods back. Red Velvet Donuts are a staple Valentine's Day food that has changed pretty greatly over the years. Originally, untreated cocoa was used which gave the red color when baked due to the chemical reaction from the anthocyanin and ...

When company is coming over and I want to keep all of the recipes I prepare ketogenic, I try to go above and beyond to make things that I normally wouldn't. I like to make things that impress people so that they don't have the wrong idea about this diet. Many people who know me always think that my diet is extremely restrictive, but this is my moment where I show them I can make anything they could - and probably even better. Putting that extra bit of work in to impress people not only helps ...

Allison is Down Over 80 Pounds on Keto

I started my keto journey on Tuesday January 17, 2018. Tuesday was my start because every other diet for the past 20 years was always started on a Monday and I needed this to be completely different. I stepped on the scale and my weight was 250.7 lbs, my start weight and in my mind the highest I would ever be! You see, for years I had dieted, exercised excessively and slowly got sicker and sicker. I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2013 and was told by my doctor that he couldn't believe ...

Eggs Benedict Casserole

Eggs Benedict Casserole

Baked eggplant mixed into ham and egg, then smothered in freshly made hollandaise sauce. This twist on the classic breakfast uses spongey eggplant as a stand-in for English muffins, but if that's not your thing then feel free to substitute zucchini. It seems like an overly decadent breakfast but it's packed full of vegetable, and uses a lot of ingredients you probably have in your kitchen already. This hollandaise is lemony and smooth, but the secret's in the vinegar. There's a lot of ...

Hearty Pot Pie

Hearty Pot Pie

Ever since I made the recipe for the pecan pie, I've been in love with this pie crust. I ended up using it when I made a pie out of these low carb pumpkin cheesecake tarts. It was then that I started thinking of savory uses for the pie crust. It's the closest thing I've ever gotten to a traditional pie crust, and with turkey leftovers from Thanksgiving, it only made sense to think of using it to make a pot pie. For this one I used up the leftover veggies I had on hand. I used roasted radishes ...
