Spicy Jalapeno Poppers

Spicy Jalapeno Poppers

Jalapeno poppers are a great way to get flavor and fats into your dinner. If you're tired of oily meals and fatty soups, then this will be the perfect break for you. The cream cheese stays soft and delicious on the inside while the heat of the pepper comes through on every bite. You can easily change up the flavor profile of this by changing the type of cheese you use, the spices that go into the cheese mixture, or chopping up some extra cooked bacon and stuffing that inside also. From prep ...

Pecan Butter Chia Seed Blondies

Pecan Butter Chia Seed Blondies

A little delicious treat is something that everyone on a ketogenic diet will crave. But, when it comes to the carb counts and fat ratios, we need to make sure everything is in check before we start baking. These blondie squares are 88% calories from fat - just about good enough to be considered a fat bomb. As many of you know, I try to stay clear of the usual "fat bomb" consisting of frozen coconut oil and cocoa powder. You can check out my other "twists" on fat bombs by trying out a chia seed ...

Asian Cucumber Salad

Asian Cucumber Salad

I've bought shiritaki noodles in the past and I'm just the type of person that can't get over the texture of the things. They're just not that delicious pasta that I want when I think of a hearty dish. They're closer to eating rubber bands, wrestling with the texture to chew them up and be able to swallow. I know some people love them, but I just can't get over them! I decided to try a new take on how to use them, and this way they turned out pretty great! Though they do reduce to about 1/4 ...

Low Carb Moroccan Meatballs

Low Carb Moroccan Meatballs

Lamb is one of the most distinct meats for me, flavor wise, and love to get my hands on it when I can. Of course it's expensive, so it's a once in a while type of love affair. Today, we're going to make some Moroccan Meatballs - the flavors of the Mediterranean paired with the fresh mint, cilantro, and thyme that are all so prevalent in Moroccan cooking. If you've had lamb at a Mediterranean or even middle eastern restaurant, you'll know exactly what this tastes like. It tastes just like ...

Cilantro Infused Avocado Lime Sorbet

Cilantro Infused Avocado Lime Sorbet

Summer is almost here and this right here is summer in a bowl! A delicious mixture of all of the festive and delicious flavors of summer, served up nice and cold for the heat wave that's about to hit. Today, we'll be making a cilantro infused avocado lime sorbet. You might see the ingredients and think to yourself, "Well, that looks like sweet guacamole." You'd be right, in a sense, but completely wrong in another. It's not just sweet guacamole in a cup - the flavors completely change when ...

Portobello Personal Pizzas

Portobello Personal Pizzas

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 ...

Feel free to head over to the Flaxseed Tortilla page to grab the recipe for those. Can anyone say fajitas for dinner tonight? You can easily serve these with a side of Vegetable Medley too, to ...

Cauliflower Cheddar Bacon Casserole

Cauliflower Cheddar Bacon Casserole

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

Salted Caramel Glazed Maple Bacon Cake Pops

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. ...

Spinach, Onion, and Goat Cheese Omelette

Spinach, Onion, and Goat Cheese Omelette

Eggs are one of my favorite ingredients to use. The versatility of them is astounding, from breakfast to lunch and dinner, and even dessert. There's so many uses for these things, but sometimes we just have to keep it simple and let the delicious taste speak for itself. Today, I thought that you guys might enjoy a delicious and simple omlette made of goats cheese, spinach, and onions. The goats cheese brings a fantastic tartness to the entire omelette, while the onions cut through that ...
