When you begin a ketogenic diet, entertaining might be one of the worries you have. It's not the easiest task to overcome when you have to serve people food they can enjoy and that you can also eat. A great finger food that you can make ahead of time is a stromboli. Stromboli is traditionally served rolled up like a roll cake, but in American cuisine, most pizza places will serve their stromboli folded up similarly to a calzone. You can think of this as a very large savory danish that you ...

Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole
October 14, 2015 by 17 Comments
While on a ketogenic diet, we're usually looking for simple meals that re-create old tastes that we love. A meal that I used to love to take to work was a cheeseburger salad. Practically all of the flavors of a cheeseburger, but crumbled up over lettuce. However since the cooler weather is here, I wanted to create a heartier dish that can be easily re-heated or served straight to a hungry family as-is. Plus, you may know I love my cold keto food - and this one tastes just as good right out of ...

The Ketogenic Diet and Insulin Resistance
October 5, 2015 by 3 Comments
We recently touched on how you can use the ketogenic diet to control symptoms of diabetes such as elevated glucose and triglycerides. In this article, we examine research showing the impact that the ketogenic diet has on levels of the hormone insulin, a key regulator of blood sugar in the body. What is Insulin’s Role in the Body? Before we look at the research, we need to know our main players. Insulin is a protein-based hormone produced by beta-cells located in the pancreas. The ...

Bacon, Avocado, and Chicken Sandwich
September 30, 2015 by 29 Comments
Bread is something that most of us miss while on keto. From the simplicity of sandwiches, to the gourmet aspect of adding croutons to your soup - it's an ingredient that is both versatile and easy to use. Today, we're going to use Keto Cloud bread to make a delicious and super simple bacon, avocado, and chicken sandwich. It's a little bit of a play on the classic BLT - made with more fat, more flavor, and the delicious texture you remember! I've been a fan of Keto Cloud Bread ever since I ...

The Connection Between Keto and Cholesterol
September 14, 2015 by 18 Comments
A common misconception is that the ketogenic diet increases “bad” cholesterol levels and clogs your arteries because it is so high in fat.

In this article, we will take a closer look at the most up-to-date research on different types of cholesterol, how each one affects our health, and the impact that the keto diet has on our ...

Keto Peanut Butter Fudge Bars
September 12, 2015 by 16 Comments
With school starting and everyone revving up to wake early in the morning, I thought that some peanut butter bars would be the perfect thing to share with everyone. These bars are fantastic to pack in a lunchbox for either school or work, and they double as an extremely tasty dessert. Chocolate and peanut butter is just a plain classic combination. Everyone seems to love it, and it's always a hit when I serve it to guests. The bitter dark chocolate plays with the sweet peanut butter fudge ...

Nacho Chicken Casserole
September 1, 2015 by 18 Comments
Keto and casseroles seem to go hand in hand when you think about the type of high-fat foods that are being included. All of the cheeses you're able to use create an ooey, gooey texture that everyone can enjoy. Whether you're a working mom, a college student, or you just want an easy meal - this casserole will get the job done! This is my Southwestern-esque take on Shepherd's Pie. It's got a great heat coming through from the chili seasoning, a good balance of acidity and sweetness from the ...
