I had a huge craving for something that tasted like Fall last night, and these definitely came through. As one of the softest and most moist muffins I've EVER MADE on Keto, these really fit the bill. And today? Nope, not dried out - still super moist and super delicious. If you've ever read the back of a Lay's chips package, you'd see their slogan "you can't just have one". Well, you can definitely apply that motto to these keto muffins! These muffins have such an explosion of flavor! The ...
Keto Grilled Cheese Sandwich
The simplicity of a grilled cheese is what catches most people's eye. Warm, melty, gooey cheese spewing out the side of the crunchy and toasted bread. It's delicious, it beings us back to our childhood, and it's just a comfort food that you shouldn't have to go without. Thought you could never have that on a keto diet? Think again. I am basing the bread off of my hamburger bun recipe, which seemed to be a hit with a lot of people. Just keep in mind that if you do this in a square bowl or ...

Korean BBQ Beef Stuffed Bell Peppers
When I did my Stuffed Poblano Peppers the other day, it was a love affair that I wanted to keep in the dark - but couldn't. Peppers are a fantastic vessel for carrying delicious meat while keeping the fats inside and easy to eat. Not to mention, they add so much color and vibrancy to the plate that you just want to dig in! Who doesn't love Korean BBQ flavors? Sweet, spicy, sticky, and absolutely delicious to eat. The ginger, garlic, and spicy chili sauce really elevate the beef to become ...

Chocolate Chunk Avocado Ice Cream
Eating avocados on a ketogenic diet is well known and done often. They're full of fats, absolutely delicious, and normally pretty easy to find. Though, eating avocados for dessert is pretty unconventional. I've made avocado-lime sorbet before, but this time I wanted to bring a whole new flavor profile to the dish - and we use cocoa powder to mask the avocado's taste without getting in the way of texture. The decadently rich and sweet flavors of the ice cream are offset by the unsweetened ...

Crispy Chipotle Chicken Thighs
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
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, ...

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
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 ...
