5 Minute Keto Raspberry Vinaigrette

5 Minute Keto Raspberry Vinaigrette

June 25, 2015 by 7 Comments

We went out for lunch recently and had a salad that came with a raspberry vinaigrette. Of course knowing it would be laden with sugar, I made sure I got it on the side to confirm my suspicions. When the salad came to the table, I dipped my finger in the dressing to give it a taste - and not surprisingly found it ridiculously sweet. The flavor, though, was amazing. Once we got home, we knew exactly what we needed to do. Recreate this vinaigrette without the carbs and sugar - so we could ...

Neapolitan Fat Bombs

Neapolitan Fat Bombs

When I was a kid, I loved sitting on my front doorsteps before dinner, especially because it meant my favorite treat - Neapolitan ice cream from the ice cream man! I could hear the truck coming from a mile away and would get so excited. I'd race my brother to the truck and was happiest when he had his little tiny frozen cups filled with the goodness that is chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. If you're like me, you love all three flavors, and Neapolitan gives the best of all worlds - you ...

Jalapeno and cheddar have been a favorite flavor combination of mine for a long time. These waffles definitely fall into that category and if you're a fan of the flavors, too - this will be a perfect keto meal. The great thing about it all is, these will be ready in under 15 minutes, start to finish. Talk about simple! Just a small tip that I've learned over the years of cooking keto waffles: the waffles are ready once the steam stops coming out of the waffle iron. Definitely one to keep in ...

Keto Mushroom Wild Rice Pilaf

Keto Mushroom Wild Rice Pilaf

June 13, 2015 by 21 Comments

Okay, okay, before you get angry and say that wild rice pilaf isn't keto - we're definitely not using wild rice in this recipe. We're using keto friendly alternatives, shelled hemp heart seeds to mimic this taste and texture, and boy does it do a good job. I grabbed these hemp seeds when I first heard about them and immediately knew I was going to do a rice type of dish. I highly recommend grabbing a pack to try out yourself! The slightly crunchy, slightly al dente texture really gives off a ...

Keto Mocha Ice Cream

Keto Mocha Ice Cream

June 10, 2015 by 7 Comments

This is one of the simplest ice cream recipes that I know of when it comes to keto. You don't have to make a custard, you don't have to freeze or refrigerate the mixture before adding it to your ice cream machine, and you don't have to wait around to temper anything. It's simply blend, add, and eat! I'm using a pretty fancy Gelato maker for this. It has a built in compressor, so it's also pretty expensive. My girlfriend picked it up a few years back on sale for around $120, which was a ...

Easy Keto Creamed Spinach

Easy Keto Creamed Spinach

June 8, 2015 by 24 Comments

I love having frozen spinach on hand for those nights where I want a quick, easy, and tasty side dish to go with what I'm making. Since I've been trying to focus on mainly easy recipes, I thought creamed spinach was a perfect addition to that list. It's rich, it's savory, and it has a delicious thick and creamy texture. As a kid, I never really liked the stuff - I mean, who liked spinach back then anyway? I thought it was disgusting when my parents made it for themselves, but over time I ...

It's a cause for celebration! Not only is it Friday today, it's also National Donut Day. Time to whip out the donut maker and crank up the heat, because it's donuts for breakfast this morning. These donuts are so incredibly simple. All in all, it takes about 5 minutes to get the batter put together, and around 20 minutes to cook all of them - 25 minutes from start to finish and you'll have a plate packed full of delicious, decadent morsels. These little guys taste fantastic. Though I do ...

Cheese Stuffed Bacon Cheeseburger

Cheese Stuffed Bacon Cheeseburger

June 1, 2015 by 10 Comments

We're continuing on with ketogenic recipes that are simple, easy, and have been staples of mine over the last 6 years. Generally speaking, keto does demand a bit more time in the kitchen than most other diets. You can't just throw some store-bought meal into the oven or microwave, and it's very hard to really enjoy the food when you make the same thing every day. The other day, we were craving burgers - so I thought making one of my old favorites would be perfect to showcase, especially ...

Cheese Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs

Cheese Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs

May 30, 2015 by 7 Comments

Here's another super simple, extremely delicious keto lunch or dinner that you can do! It takes a total of about 10 minutes to prep everything, but the rest of the time you just have to wait for the oven to be done. It doesn't get much easier than this. Cheese stuffed bacon wrapped hot dogs would taste exactly how you expect - very savory, rich, and fatty. The bacon really crisps up nicely, but if you want to, you can always broil it for a little extra crisp at the end. You can also use ...
