Asian and Indian style dishes are a staple in this house, as both of us have a long-standing weakness for Chinese takeout and Indian buffets. So, an Asian/Indian spin on a keto recipe is always a welcome addition to our recipe rotations, and this one is definitely a new favorite! I grabbed this recipe from my friend Hazim. Originally called Buttermilk Shrimp in his home country of Brunei, this was a dish that was served in resturants everywhere. He's worked hard to transform this dish into a ...

Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Popper Casserole
Jalapenos and buffalo chicken are a marriage of flavors that just had to be done. It's a flavor explosion that is oozing with rich and delicious cheese, and packed full of spiciness in every bite. Of course - you can't forget about bacon. Everything tastes better with bacon. I based this on a quick skillet meal that my girlfriend made me the other night. It was pretty much this, but in a pan - and I knew right then and there I had to make a casserole out of it. Both of us absolutely love ...

Orange and Sage Glazed Duck Breast
I know that duck is a bit extravagant and costly for most people out there, but I found some beautiful looking duck breasts in the co-op and decided that I had to try it. I'd never tried it or cooked it before, so I figured why not? If you're not the type that wants to use duck, you can easily sub the duck breast out for a chicken thigh. Just remember that chicken thighs want to go into a hot pan (rather than a cold pan, since there isn't as much fat to render), and that they take longer to ...

BBQ Chicken Soup
The flavor the BBQ is just what you want in a soup - not too smokey and not too sweet. Just enough flavor to keep you wanting to take another bite. Actually, this is like the Pulled BBQ Chicken Recipe, made into a soup! I wanted to make a good low carb barbecue sauce after seeing how many carbs were in normal sauces. Most of the recipes I saw online were well over 30g carbs per serving, from the sauce alone! The low-carb varieties I've had so far for sauces were just not cutting it, either ...
