When it comes to making and cooking breakfast on a ketogenic diet, we often think of many different recipes including bacon and eggs, egg frittata, ketoproof coffee, or just straight up fasting. We need a bit more variety, and while I have tried to give some, we still need more! Now, I know the pictures aren't amazing, but the pictures just don't do them justice. These little keto muffins are packed full of deliciousness - sausage, maple syrup, and a sweet pancake-ish fluffy muffin to encase all ...
Crispy Chipotle Chicken Thighs
July 22, 2014 by 22 Comments
Chicken is always something you have to scrutinize when on a ketogenic diet. From the high protein content to the low fat content, it's something that most of us opt out of using as a staple in our diets. But, my question is why? Chicken thighs are a delicious piece of poultry that come with an added skin that you can crisp up yourself. This adds not only a great texture in every bite, but also the ability to bring tons of flavor that chicken so easily absorbs. Cooking these skin side down in ...

Fresh Bell Pepper Basil Pizza
July 19, 2014 by 10 Comments
Let's face it - we all love pizza. Though, when we're on a ketogenic diet, it can be pretty tough to have the things we want - but pizza isn't one of them. You can make your own dough, top it, and have it on your plate within 30 minutes of starting dinner. Now, would Rachel Ray really believe us when we told her that it's all low carb, too? I don't think so. We're going to make an absolutely delicious and fresh pizza. Topped with red and yellow bell pepper that bring a fantastic crunch, ...

Low Carb Strawberry Shortcake

Yesterday, I posted the recipe for the Strawberry Chia Seed Jam. It seemed to have been a hit - and I'm so glad that so many of you tried and loved it! Today, we're going to use that jam to make an absolutely epic strawberry shortcake. Between each layer of cake is a massive amount of whipped cream, strawberry chia seed jam (of course), and fresh sliced strawberries to give that elegant and classic look. All in all, if you're looking to impress someone, this would be a fantastic dessert. It ...

Strawberry Chia Seed Jam
July 12, 2014 by 56 Comments
Chia seeds are one of my favorite things to use when I have the chance to use them. Not only do they make for some delicious foods, they're also pretty great for you, too. They're packed full of nutrients, so much so that they're one of the most nutrient dense things you can eat, calorie for calorie. Not to mention, they're filled with antioxidants, which has shown to have some positive health benefits. I've used chia seeds to thicken quite a lot of stuff - pudding, yogurt, sauces. But, this ...

Crispy Keto Cauliflower Cakes
July 6, 2014 by 10 Comments
Finding the right kinds of side dishes on a ketogenic diet can be difficult. You usually end up defaulting to some salad soaked in dressing or vegetables sauteed in oil and butter. But, sometimes we just want a change that seems impossible to do if we need that extra boost of fat to stick on the plate. Sometimes a few leaves of greens just won't cut it, and we want something hearty, full of fats, and delicious to boot. There are days I find myself going overboard for a few hours, stalking ...

Keto Chocolate Chunk Cookies
June 29, 2014 by 32 Comments
Chocolate chip cookies always bring back memories of the holidays as a child. Setting up for Santa to come down the chimney with the presents, enjoy a quick carby snack, and get back to work by jumping on the sleigh. And you can't forget about Rudolph, either, he always had a carrot that somehow mysteriously ended up in the trash can the next day - well I guess the reindeer weren't much of vegetarians. With all the cookies and milk, there's no wonder we personified Santa as a heavyset guy now, ...

Lemon Roasted Spicy Broccoli
June 25, 2014 by 1 Comment
Side dishes have become something that we argue about in my house. From who has to make it, to how long it'll take while cooking the main meal - it usually ends up being a salad because nobody wants to do the extra work. Luckily though, roasted broccoli is quickly becoming a staple here because of the simplicity of making it. It's practically pre-heating your oven, seasoning some broccoli, and stuffing it in the oven for some fantastic hands-off flavors to develop. It doesn't get much better ...
