Soup season has arrived and this one's definitely going to warm your bones. There's snow storms and unseasonably cold temperatures just about everywhere in the north now, and I've been ready to dig into a bowl of soup all week. This is like a sophisticated version of tomato soup and grilled cheese - except without the bread. The tangy goats cheese really gives it another dimension at the end. And bacon? Well, bacon is fantastic on everything - as most of you already know! If you're dairy ...

Jalapeno Bacon Cheddar Soup
This is as good as comfort food gets in a bowl! Using the bacon fat until the last drop to our advantage to flavor the jalapeno peppers and the soup itself. At the end we take an immersion blender to the base of the soup to emulsify the liquids and fats together - creating a velvety, creamy, and delicious mixture that doesn't separate. The thyme, celery seed, onion and garlic really work wonders in this soup - so make sure you don't leave them out! The cumin comes along just toward the end of ...

Bacon Avocado Muffins
When you think of muffins you generally reminisce on the overly sweet, sugar-laden pastries you can buy in the coffee shop. You don't usually see yourself eating a savory muffin, especially one that's stuffed full of avocado and bacon. Especially not me. I never used to be much of a fan of avocados growing up (even though I had a tree), but recently found a new love for them - and can't seem to get enough of them anymore. These keto muffins are absolutely awesome. You know when you wake up a ...

Raspberry Brie Grilled Waffles
I've always been a fan of grilled cheese sandwiches, and this takes the cake for being one of the best I've had. These are decadent enough to be served as a full blown main course, or just to impress someone significant in your life for breakfast. No matter what course you serve it as, your guest will be super impressed with what you were able to accomplish. This is a common rarity among foodies, and is always enjoyed by everyone I serve them to. You can use other fruits in this if you're not ...

Keto Pumpkin Bread Loaf
It's Fall and each morning I get up the air seems crisper and colder. Cold enough for me to want to stay inside, wrap myself up in blankets, and just enjoy a warm treat. This was so much the fact this morning that I ended up making some warm and delicious pumpkin bread to start my day off. It's almost like a protein bar for us keto-ers that seem to have little to no time in the morning. Grab a slice or two, a slab of butter, and walk out the door while chomping on bliss! It's very dense, so that ...

Bacon Cheeseburger Soup
Just about everyone loves cheeseburgers, but we can't really enjoy them as much as the rest of the world because of the bread. But, when you serve it in a bowl in the form of a comforting, cheesy, and decadent soup - I don't think we're actually missing out on the bun at all. This bacon cheeseburger soup has quickly become a favorite in my house. It's loaded with amazing flavors - bacon, beef, spices, cheese, and just a hint of pickle for the acidity to cut through all of that richness. It's ...
