I've been experimenting a bit more lately with pumpkin than I usually do. Since we can't exactly bake a sweet potato and pumpkin casserole for the dinner table, I wanted to come up with some not-so-traditional dishes using pumpkin that all of us can get behind! This pumpkin carbonara is an AWESOME meal, and everyone will definitely be wanting a second helping after they get their first bite. While I do love the sweet aspects of pumpkin (check out these Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies, or ...
Low Carb Walnut Crusted Salmon

On a ketogenic diet, fatty fish has time and time again been proven to decrease cholesterol and help with health overall. It's easy to prepare, it's getting cheaper and easier to source good salmon, and it's super tasty! Plus, it's really quick to make - just under 15 minutes from start to finish if you have everything out and ready to start. There's nothing like a quick and easy recipe that can get you through the busy weeknights, but it's perfect for when guests come over too - it's decadent ...

Low Carb Cauliflower Mushroom Risotto
December 7, 2015 by 9 Comments
Cauliflower is one of the most versatile vegetables on a ketogenic diet, and definitely should be included in every pantry out there. It can get carby when you use a bunch of it, but when you use it as a side item, stuffing, or part of another recipe - it's definitely a bright addition to any dish. Today, we're making cauliflower risotto. I'm sure by now you've tried cauliflower rice and realized that with a bit of TLC, it can be turned into just about anything (pizza crusts, rice, crunch ...

Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Tarts
December 4, 2015 by 13 Comments
Chocolate and peanut butter are just a match that are made to be together (cue Chocolate Peanut Butter Mug Cake). It's rich, it's amazingly tasty, and it's something you just have to try for yourself! These chocolate peanut butter tarts are incredibly rich and filling. Each one is made to share and is full of fat and have lots of fiber. They’re made with a flaxseed crust and a delicious layer of peanut butter. Over top, the key ingredient for the rich, velvety texture is avocado! Avocado is ...

Keto Breakfast Tacos
November 23, 2015 by 12 Comments
Tacos are a great meal that gives a bit more hands-on attitude with what you're eating. On a ketogenic diet, we're used to seeing some different tortillas (some made from psyllium husk and some made from flaxseed meal). But, the real crunch of the shell never really comes through, unless you fry it. Instead of making the shells out of psyllium or flax, though, you can easily make them out of cheese. If you've ever tried the cheese chips recipe, you know that cheese gets really crunchy and ...

Pumpkin Pecan Pie Ice Cream
November 21, 2015 by 8 Comments

The longer I thought on it, the more clear this idea became: combine the both! The flavors of Pumpkin Pecan Pie Ice Cream are really great together. You get a creamy bite with pumpkin inside, then after you savor the flavor, maple and pecan come through. Whether your family is on the ketogenic diet or not, people will gobble this up and ask for more ...

Using Supplements to Maximize your Ketogenic Diet
November 14, 2015 by 4 Comments
One of the most common questions we get from people is how to utilize supplements to maximize their results. Although science shows that the ketogenic diet is an effective way to lower blood sugar, control insulin resistance, optimize blood lipid levels, and aid in the treatment of some of the most prevalent and lethal conditions, supplements are more alluring than ever before. In fact, about 145 million Americans use nutritional supplements each year—that's almost one-half of the population. ...
