BBQ Pulled Pork and “Cornbread” Waffles
Okay, so let me first confess and say that the waffles aren't made from real cornbread, but they do taste really fantastic! Savory waffles pair up with some sweet, spicy, and tangy BBQ Pulled Pork to give you a meal that nobody would ever guess is low carb and keto. We put a little bit of red pepper in the waffles to give a slight crunch and little bits of sweet and spice all around the waffle. This will give a great new flavor every other bite to cut through the BBQ sauce, adding a depth of ...

Southwestern Pork Stew
Here's a hearty stew that will fill you up while it warms your belly - perfect for this time of year! Many places are having very early frost warnings and snow this year (looking at you, Canada!).

Pork Carne Asada Tacos
It's not often that I say that I'm having pork tacos on a ketogenic diet, but you can have your tacos and eat them too! The cilantro, lettuce, and sour cream really give the tacos a fresh bite, every bite. A slightly different flavor in each mouthful as you rip out peppers in some bites, jalapenos in others, and more sour cream for a refreshing cool-down. Feel free to use any toppings you'd like! If you're fasting and need the extra calories - go for some avocado. The creaminess of the ...

Crispy Skin Slow Roasted Pork Shoulder
On keto, I'm always looking for different ways to get fatty meats into my diet that will taste great and keep my wallet (and stomach) full. Yesterday, I picked up this 8 pound roast for just under $16. Yep, that's under $2 a pound - and it'll feed an entire family for a few days! Pulled pork is just plain delicious - and if you think we have to slather or smoke this baby just to coax some flavor out of it - you could never have been so wrong. Double check on what type of pork shoulder you are ...

Oven “Grilled” Asian Chicken Thighs
It's not so often that the lazy people prevail in the quest to do less. But, there's the few times that the lazy way of living shines through and gives a bit of hope - this is one of those days. Instead of breaking out the grill, cleaning it, oiling it, and subsequently cleaning it afterward, why not use the oven to do our chicken thighs? I've found that this method works extremely well with chicken thighs in particular. So well, that even the people I served it to didn't realize that this ...

Bacon Roasted Chicken with Pan Gravy
Nothing says cooler weather than a roasted chicken. Since we're on a keto diet, we get to wrap this guy in bacon, too! It's slightly zesty and full of citrus flavor which gives a fantastic balance to the rich and hearty gravy we make with the pan drippings. If you need a way to get some extra fats in on the side, I'd highly recommend the Keto Brussels Sprouts Au Gratin that I posted yesterday. They're great and would pair well with this dish. You normally see bacon wrapped around birds ...
