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 ...

March 4, 2014 by 8 Comments
For those of you who don’t know, today is National Pancake Day! Normally I’d be ignoring that fact, making a ketoproof coffee or some scrambled eggs, and calling it a morning. This time around, that is NOT happening – I’m making my pancakes and eating them too. I call these Dirty Blondie Pancakes, but they’re certainly far from dirty and definitely close to deliciousness served up on a plate. It’s a stack of 2 types of pancakes: Maple Pecan and Brownie Batter Chocolate Chunk! You really can’t ...

Lemon & Rosemary Roasted Chicken Thighs
January 19, 2014 by 13 Comments
One of my favorite spices is rosemary, and I love to add it to everything I can. Unfortunately, though, not many people I cook for enjoy it like I do. So, I decided to try to make it more palatable for the others around my house and give it a bit of a twist. This recipe will add a needed change in some of your repertoires, bring a beautiful citrus flavor with the almost pungent aroma of the rosemary and thyme. Using a mortar and pestle for the garlic aliolli is the best way to do it. A ...

Handcrafted Mayonnaise
December 6, 2013 by 44 Comments
Mayonnaise is one of my favorite condiments to make. No matter how many times I make it, there's just something about watching something come together and emulsify like mayo that's always interesting. I love how making it with my stick blender (aka emulsion blender) is super fast and easy. There are so many variations you can make with homemade mayo, but this is my favorite. I use expeller pressed coconut oil, because there is no coconut taste. Also, I always use fresh farm eggs (and ...

Spinach and Cheddar Scrambled Eggs
November 12, 2013 by Leave a Comment
This is a breakfast staple for me, where it's my go-to a lot of the time. It's fast (only takes about 10 minutes), tastes great, and it's packed full of nutrients. These eggs will usually fill me up until around 1pm, and sometimes even longer. They're a great source of energy in the morning and keep you full for a good chunk of the day. If you're the type that has problems with hunger around 11, try these! The fats in the cheese and cream will be sure to help your stomach stay quiet until ...
