A super simple and easy way to make lunch ahead of time. No making dough, no microwaves, just simple ingredients and great taste. If you don't have basil, you can skip it - but be warned that skipping the basil will make the flavors a lot flatter. The basil adds a fantastic note of freshness throughout the pizzas which is perfect with all of the fatty components. Make sure that when you rub the mushrooms with oil that all of that oil gets sopped up by the mushrooms. You don't want excess oil ...

Cauliflower Cheddar Bacon Casserole
May 24, 2014 by 20 Comments
Casseroles are something I don't do too often, just because I prefer not to freeze too much food - but I had a bunch of stuff laying around in my kitchen and had no clue what to do with it. Casseroles are pretty handy to do once a month, to clean up any food that might be going bad and combine a ton of flavors into one compact meal. This turned out exactly as you'd expect - very flavorful meats through each bite, extreme amounts of cheese, and a delicious crunch from the cauliflower. If ...

Salted Caramel Glazed Maple Bacon Cake Pops
May 23, 2014 by 10 Comments
Isn't that a mouthful of a title? Trust me though, it's WELL worth it. These little suckers are SO good. I mean, the type of food that you can't just stop at one - which is a good thing considering they're only 80 calories each. Get your groove on and have your dessert - with bacon! They don't bother with injecting tons of water and flavor enhancers in their bacon. This means that when you cook your bacon, it won't lose much of its original size like the stuff you'll buy in the store. ...

Vegetarian Red Coconut Curry
May 21, 2014 by 7 Comments
I decided to give a whirl at a vegetarian recipe that I've been wanting to do for quite some time now. A vegetarian red curry! If you're not vegetarian, you could easily add some fatty cuts of meat to this to make even more flavor come out and add more protein to the dish. For being ready in just under 20 minutes, this turned out to have some incredible flavors. The "fish" sauce definitely comes through, which I love, and adds a more authentic flavor to all of it. Allowing the curry paste to ...

Coconut Cream Yogurt
May 20, 2014 by 23 Comments
Making your own yogurt might seem like a weird idea at first, but it's pretty simple and it's almost all hands off. We're going to culture the coconut milk in the oven using the light of the oven and the contents of probiotic capsules. You want your coconut milk to culture in the 110F - 115F range. We'll achieve this by leaving just the light of the oven on and keeping the door completely closed. Don't open it during the culture period! You may also want to invest in an oven thermometer so you ...

Low Carb Flax Tortillas
May 18, 2014 by 76 Comments
It's not often that I go around the blogosphere screaming from the rooftops about how amazing a recipe is. Heck, I won't even do it now - I just want you to know that if you're looking for an awesome tortilla recipe that's really easy to do, then TRY THIS RECIPE. I know many of you have been using the other tortilla recipe on the site, but the dough starts to get a little tough to work with unless you work very fast. As the boiling broth cools, the dough starts to cling together, making it ...

Pork Shiitake Stir Fry with “Quick Kimchi”
May 16, 2014 by 6 Comments
A delicious blend of Asian infused flavors come together to give you a delicious meal in under 30 minutes. From the tender, succulent pork to the tangy and spicy "Kimchi" that lays atop, everything works in unison to finish off your bite with a punch of umami. Definitely worth trying this one - and if you want to, you can even make the "Kimchi" previously and let it sit in the fridge overnight (or for a few days). The reason I put kimchi in quotes is because it's my own take on it, rather ...

Low Carb Microwave Hamburger Bun
May 15, 2014 by 52 Comments
So it's been dawning on me lately that I've really wanted a proper hamburger. Yeah, you can make those ultra thin buns with a whoppie pan, or you can even make a cupcake bun and cut it in half - but it's just not the same. Plus, you have to do so much work just for a few buns. I wanted something that I could throw together in a sinch and not have to worry about cleaning up, baking times, or any of that other stuff. Luckily, I've come up with a pretty good solution - hamburger mug bun, ...
