Low Carb Blackberry Chipotle Jam

Low Carb Blackberry Chipotle Jam

April 13, 2015 by 6 Comments

When it comes to keto, jam definitely isn't the first thing that pops into your head. But, making some new sweet sauces can definitely be within your grasp. To top it all off, you can add plenty of fats to really bring the macros up to par. We use MCT Oil here because of the liquid properties that it has. When you store the jam in the fridge, it will continue to stay as a sauce and not harden up (as it would if you used coconut oil). These's two main flavor components that I'd describe ...

Strawberry Chia Seed Jam

Strawberry Chia Seed Jam

Chia seeds are one of my favorite things to use when I have the chance to use them. Not only do they make for some delicious foods, they're also pretty great for you, too. They're packed full of nutrients, so much so that they're one of the most nutrient dense things you can eat, calorie for calorie. Not to mention, they're filled with antioxidants, which has shown to have some positive health benefits. I've used chia seeds to thicken quite a lot of stuff - pudding, yogurt, sauces. But, this ...

Bacon Jammin’ Green Beans

Bacon Jammin’ Green Beans

February 17, 2014 by Leave a Comment

Green beans are one of my favorite things to eat when they're fresh, and I just don't eat enough of them. When I get them, I almost always pair them with bacon. Yeah, sure, they're awesome with garlic and parmesan, but who can resist the bacon? Since I had made some bacon jam the other day, I figured I would use it in the green beans - and they paid off! This dish was absolutely delectable. Salty, sweet, crunchy, with just the right amount of chew from small pieces of bacon. A must ...

Keto Friendly Bacon Jam

Keto Friendly Bacon Jam

February 15, 2014 by 22 Comments

So, we all love bacon, right? Bacon is a delicious treat we get to eat on a regular basis...but it just doesn't seem like I get enough of it as is. I wouldn't mind having some bacon with every meal. Well, now we can! Sorry vegetarians, but this one is not going to be for you. You can pretty much use this stuff on anything savory. I spread it on keto breads, spread it on frittata muffins, and top my dinners with it. It's just plain delicious! All of the flavors together create a sweet, ...

Yesterday, I posted the recipe for the Strawberry Chia Seed Jam. It seemed to have been a hit - and I'm so glad that so many of you tried and loved it! Today, we're going to use that jam to make an absolutely epic strawberry shortcake. Between each layer of cake is a massive amount of whipped cream, strawberry chia seed jam (of course), and fresh sliced strawberries to give that elegant and classic look. All in all, if you're looking to impress someone, this would be a fantastic dessert. It ...

Keto Amaretti Cookies

Keto Amaretti Cookies

March 11, 2016 by 8 Comments

These little amaretti cookies are delicate and sweet. Each one is soft and full of almond and fruity flavors. This recipe uses strawberry jam, but you can use any flavor sugar free jam you’d like. My favorite brand to look for is the Polaner with added fiber (as this is usually the lowest carb option). They're the perfect keto dessert or snack to make for the spring time that's upcoming. Make sure you don't miss out! These cookies are great to give as gifts, too. Add them as a part of a ...

Blackberry Chipotle Chicken Wings

Blackberry Chipotle Chicken Wings

April 15, 2015 by 8 Comments

A sweet, smokey, crunchy, and absolutely delicious wing that you will want to make again and again. These chicken wings really bring together some fantastic flavors and will definitely be a hit with anyone who has them. Even the non-keto folks will be asking for more, as the sweetness and slight smokiness from the Blackberry Chipotle Jam really comes through. I chose to cook these with the marinade on (rather than tossing them in sauce afterward) because I really wanted to flavor to come ...

Ever since the end of the 18th century, American style muffins have been the perfect excuse to have something sweet and cakey for breakfast. It all began with simple ingredients like sugar and flour to make a quick sweet bread, then they started adding sweet treats like fruit and chocolate or savory foods like bacon, cheese, and herbs. The result is a delicious breakfast that everyone loves, but the flour and other carb-rich ingredients make them into a low carb keto dieters nightmare. The ...

Chicken dishes are so popular that they are the third most widely consumed food in America, following closely behind grain-based desserts and yeast breads. In other words, chicken is the most widely consumed keto-friendly food in the United States. Most chicken dishes, however, come with a carb-rich side like rice or potatoes or chicken that is breaded with high carb ingredients, making a high-protein keto food into an unhealthy meal. Fortunately, there are many low-carb vegetables and keto ...
