Growing up as a kid, I had my fair share of fast food takeout. Some of them I still miss to this day and try to recreate (a lot of the time in failure, but don't tell anyone). One of them that I was thinking about lately? McDonald's Strawberry Milkshake. Their disgustingly sweet syrup mixed into ice cream and served up to me in the nostalgic paper cup. Not the most beautiful thing to remember from my childhood, but it certainly holds something dear in my heart. Well, I think I've done it ...

Cucumber Spinach Smoothie
I've had a lot of people e-mail me and ask me about juicing (which is a no-no). When they make the switch to a ketogenic diet, they're missing the shakes and smoothies that they used to make themselves in the morning. With that in mind, we're bringing together the delicious flavors of spinach and cucumber into an awesome shake today. A surprisingly sweet treat that'll do right by anyone that misses their morning green shake. Packed full of micronutrients and fats, you'd never know that spinach ...

Blackberry Chocolate Shake
You know those chocolate covered berries you find in those specialty candy stores, or the ones that they serve up to you when you go out for a romantic date at a fondue joint? This is a smoothie that will bring memories back to you with a cooling and refreshing vibe running through it. We all need a break from the ordinary, piping hot ketoproof coffee every once in a while (especially with the weather lately in Florida). Instead of getting your MCT Oil in Ketoproof Coffee, why not change it ...

Cinnamon Roll Pudding Pops
I've been frequenting foodgawker more and more and realized that there's so many popsicle recipes coming out. So many delicious looking popsicles...that I had to make my own. I grabbed the NoPro Popsicle Mold off of Amazon (nothing beats those awesome old fashioned wooden sticks) and waited my 2 days on Amazon Prime. When it arrived, I had already made my Cinnamon Roll "Oatmeal" recipe so I said why not? Let's see what happens and hopefully it'll be good. Good? No, it was amazing! ...

Cinnamon Roll “Oatmeal”
So the last few days I've really been craving oatmeal. I keep seeing oatmeal bars, cookies, porridge and the like on Pinterest and Facebook - and I wanted to join in on the fun...but not have any of the carbs to go along with it. The second I put this in my mouth and started to chew, the texture wasn't exactly the same as oatmeal - but the taste was pretty darn close! The mouth feel is very similar, and really nice while you're chewing. The aftertaste even makes me think back to the days ...

Chicharrones con Huevos
Chicharrones con Huevos roughly translates to "pork rinds with eggs". Though, I thought I'd spice it up a little bit by adding tomato, avocado, jalapenos, and of course cilantro to the mix. While ketoproof coffee is a fantastic way to get fats into your diet, it's not all that nutritionally dense. There's tons of micronutrients missing from it, there's no protein (which in a lot of cases is better for people), and there's barely any work involved. If you're interested to learn more about how ...

Creamy Tarragon Chicken
Last night was one of the rare occasions I get to cook for myself. So, today's meal is something that you'd see me make for myself - something I enjoy. It's a single serving of pure deliciousness served up in a bowl. I probably chose the wrong bowl for the photo in hindsight. I recently went thrift store shopping and got a bargain on a bunch of things I plan to incorperate into the photos I take, and this was one of them. The cream sauce just missed the lip of the bowl (if you look in the ...

Keto Chocolate Roll Cake
When I was a kid, my mom usually packed my lunch box with snacks and sweets that I could finish the day off with. From oatmeal cookies to honey buns, there was always tons of sugar packed inside. Well...now I guess I know why I gained so much weight in my childhood ;) One of the things I still remember, though, are those little Swiss Cakes from Little Debbie. Lately, I've been thinking about them more and more, wanting to recreate them...but elevate them in flavor and bring them over to the ...

Low Carb Pepperoni Pizza
It's naturally crisp and crunchy, it holds together like a regular slice of pizza, and it actually tastes like the real deal. So, if you've never had the chance to try it yet, definitely take this opportunity to do it for dinner! It's really fast to make, too - which makes it a perfect medium for someone with a busy life. And you might be thinking about the leftovers? Yep, it does fantastic in the fridge and I'd even argue that it tastes better cold. You know, I've tried many, many pizza ...

Low Carb Pork Pies
Growing up in England taught me a valuable lesson in life: if you can eat it, you can make a pie out of it. Every bakery that you step foot in will have meat stuffed pies, sweet pies, cheese and onion pies, pretty much any kind of ingredient you can think of - stuffed in a pie. So I took a little note from my heritage and made a classic pork pie. These flavors usually come together pretty commonly in irish cooking, especially with pork (though we're missing the stout), and will give you ...
