It's not always easy finding something that's crunchy and satisfying when it comes to keto recipes, in fact most of the things I eat have no crunch at all.

I found this goldfish cracker recipe online and modified it to use coconut flour to minimize the carbs. They're freaking delicious - crispy, crunchy, cheesy, the holy trinity.

You can add this to your keto butter coffee when you're on the run, or even if you're not. The MCT oil (medium chain triglycerides in the coconut oil) will keep ...

They're a bit messy to make, but they are so damn tasty you won't regret the cleanup. Make sure you're wielding plenty of paper towels so we can soak up that grease later on, and make these suckers extra crispy. What could be better than a super crisp piece of meat with some ooey gooey cheese on top? I'd say there's not much ...
