Today I decided to do breadsticks in three different ways: Italian style, extra cheesy, and cinnamon sugar. Two savory flavors which taste absolutely delicious just dipped in some tomato sauce (I use Rao's), and one sweet flavor which tastes fantastic dipped in a cream cheese buttercream (1 oz. Cream Cheese, 2 tbsp. Heavy Cream, and 1 tbsp. Swerve Sweetener). I based this recipe for the breadsticks on the same dough that's used in both the Low Carb Pepperoni Pizza and the Keto Roti John. This ...
BBQ Bacon Wrapped Smokies
Easy entertaining and keto usually don't go hand in hand. But, these are so easy and straightforward to make that they will be a new go-to when you're in a pinch and need a quick appetizer. For their small size, they're really sweet, smokey, and packed full of flavor. They'll be a new crowd favorite! Even better, they're perfect for snacking on for the upcoming Super Bowl, and everyone you serve them to will surely enjoy these little weenies as they're watching the game. If you have ...

Begedil Keto Potato Patties
With another journey through food to Asia, we meet up with the Begedil. Also known as the Perkedel in Indonesia, these are traditionally made with mashed potatoes and deep-fried. Very commonly, you can find these in the night market (pasar malam) or small stalls along the street (garai). You can eat them on their own with a dipping sauce like mayonnaise and chili paste, or you can serve them in a clear soup/stew (usually Soto, or a noodle soup) like they are traditionally served. You ...

Keto Corndog Muffins
I've seen this idea floating around the web for a while. It combines the amazing taste of a corndog with a super easy way of creating a bite-sized treat. You can have these done in 20 minutes or less and ready to send out of the kitchen as an appetizer for a party. I thought with the Super Bowl coming up, these would be a perfect way to serve finger-food while still keeping it low carb. All of your guests will love them and easily be able to eat/dip them into whatever they'd like. Speaking of ...

Thai Chicken Zoodles
This is a keto-fied version of Fried Noodles, or Mee Goreng, inspired by the Japanese version of Yaki Udon. These have a slight Indian influence on them since my friend is from Brunei. His mom used to get this for him whenever she went to the coffee shop, and he wanted to re-create it! The typical ingredients in this are ketchup, chili paste, potato, tomato, tofu, sweet and dark soy sauce, and it's served with a citrus and chili sauce. There are three well known versions of this: chicken, ...

Low Carb Chili Lime Meatballs
This is a great change in flavor from the regular meals I usually make that are rich and hearty. These meatballs are extremely fresh and flavorful in their own way, bringing the bell pepper and lime to the forefront of each and every bite. They were such a treat to have while the snow was blowing outside, reminding us that spring is just around the corner. You can even serve these as a party appetizer like I did by adding a dab of guacamole underneath the meatballs and then sticking a skewer ...

Keto Roti John
If you have ever visited Brunei, Malaysia or Singapore, high chance you stumbled upon one of these while strolling through a night market. Roti John as it's called, is a kind of sandwich with a meat-filled omelette inside. They are usually cooked with butter. When bought, the sandwich is smothered heavily with mayonnaise and chili sauce or ketchup. It's then sliced to bite-sized pieces and wrapped with brown paper. The shape is quite distinct and you would instantly know it's Roti John ...

Skillet Chicken Pot Pie
This recipe started out as a chicken, bacon and broccoli skillet meal - but it turned out that I had no broccoli in the fridge when I went to add it. As it was during a snow and ice storm, I couldn't just up and drive to the store - but the spinach came and saved the day! So, I decided to make it a bit heartier of a meal and transform it into a fully baked pot pie. Oh - and the taste? Fantastic. Not to toot my own horn, but I've already made this twice - it's that good. And yes, I only ...

Salmon with Tarragon Dill Cream Sauce
There's nothing like fresh salmon that's been pan fried to crispy-skinned perfection. Done so that it just melts in your mouth as you take a bite, and explodes with flavor as you chew. The delicious cream sauce is subtly seasoned so the distinct flavor of the salmon still comes through. This would also go fantastic with some bacon wrapped asparagus on the side. Drizzle any leftover sauce on the asparagus for a truly beautiful meal! If you're making this for a significant other, they will ...
