The soup is a delicious combination between spicy and savory. The second it hits your mouth, the savory notes of the Italian sausage combined with cumin take over. It is slowly offset by the rich fats that simmer into the beef stock. On the finish, a slight spice will wash over the back of your tongue, leaving you with the desire to eat more. Crock pots are extremely useful - they're convenient, easy to cook with, and you don't have to babysit them. It's a true "set it and forget it" ...

November 21, 2013 by 6 Comments
Although the human body can manufacture most of the fats it needs from other fats, carbohydrates, and protein, there are two groups of unsaturated fatty acids that cannot be manufactured in the body — omega-3s and omega-6s. These are known as “essential fatty acids,” and they can help regulate body composition, cell function, immune response, and improve overall health and well-being.

Roasted Garlic Chipotle Aioli
August 10, 2014 by 2 Comments
Mayonnaise is well known among people on a ketogenic diet, but aioli seems to sit in a corner and not get too much attention and love. Well, there's a really easy explanation for this - they're pretty much the same thing. Aioli is...well, mayonnaise with garlic. Easy enough, right? This term was cultivated in the French region of Provence. Normally the garlic of aioli is crushed using your hands or a mortar and pestle, so the flavors of the garlic can come out into the sauce. But, if you see ...

Kim’s 140 Pound Transformation
April 2, 2014 by 15 Comments
This is the story of Kim, one of the very inspirational stories that come across us at Ketogenic Living Facebook Group. Take it away Kim! I've been overweight my entire life. I can remember "doing" the Atkins diet when I was 5 or 6 years old, back when it first came out in 1972, with my mom. I spent my whole life either on a "diet", or all out binging. I just never found a happy medium where I could maintain my weight loss and change my lifestyle. In November of 2012, I found out I was ...

Crispy Tofu and Bok Choy Salad
March 23, 2015 by 5 Comments

It's always been on the list of things that seem like they'll be nasty if I tried them, or other people have told me the horror stories connected with it. But, I've got a pretty open mind and loved the idea of giving it a try with my own spin on it. Let me tell you - if you've never had tofu, or think you don't like it...you need to re-try it! Baked tofu is wonderful. Instead of the soft, gooey, flavorless mess that people ...
