Today I bring you a keto tart dough...that actually stays together while you're making it! A lot of the coconut flour doughs that I've tried to make and form into a tart or pie ends up working, but it's really tough to work with. It's extremely crumbly and falls apart while you're working with it. Almond flour is pretty similar, although I found that it has better elasticity to it when you're working with it. Well, I put the two together, then added a bit of psyllium and egg to help work ...
Low Carb Chocolate Brownies
August 21, 2014 by 35 Comments
I'm starting to get a little tired of seeing these amazing pictures online for what I think will be the greatest brownies of all time, spending a while in the kitchen, and then realizing that what I end up with is an almost paper-thin, crunchy, dry, and near inedible brownie (if you can even call it that). What you might think was cut off the top of what could have been great, the recipes I've been trying over the last few months just never came out how I wanted them to. So, I set out to create ...

Layered Fried Queso Blanco
August 20, 2014 by 8 Comments
I have a confession to make: I got mad at cheese today. Mad to the point where I just smooshed it into a pan while it was frying - but something absolutely amazing came out of it! I don't know why it took me so long to think of this. Whenever I fry up cheese, I watch it closely - and it always starts to melt, little by little at the bottom. Distressing myself and knowing that it's going to flatten out, I haven't done anything about it...until now! Those crispy layers on the outside, the gooey ...

Lemon Poppy Seed Cake with Blackberry Buttercream
August 11, 2014 by 13 Comments
There's nothing more I hate than getting super excited about a cake recipe I see online and then scrolling down to the nutrition information. My heart stops for a minute when I see the macros: "150 calories and 2g net carb for a slice?" When it's too good to be true, it usually is. I'm not in the business of mucking with my macros and breaking things into 24 or 30 slices, I'm in the business of enjoying the food. This cake will make 8 slices - each slice being 4.7g net carbs and filled with ...

Low Carb Chia Seed Crackers
August 10, 2014 by 25 Comments
Lately I've been craving something crunchy...a small snack that can give a chance to the normally slightly gooey and soft texture you get with keto. I've done cheese chips, and I've gotten a little tired of them. I've done flax chips, which are filled with phytoestrogens and getting a bad rep. So what's left? I figured I could make something out of chia seeds, since I had done similarly with tortillas - and boy was I right. These chia seed crackers are absolutely amazing. Granted they aren't ...
