Hope you're all enjoying your Memorial Day Weekend! Let's fire up the grill (or...the stove) and cook a beautiful steak for dinner tonight! Not just any steak...skirt steak. One of my favorite cuts! If cooked right, this will turn out to be a tender and succulent slab of meat that not many can resist. 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

May 24, 2014 by 20 Comments

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 ...

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

May 22, 2014 by 4 Comments

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 ...

Vegetarian Red Coconut Curry

Vegetarian Red Coconut Curry

I decided to give a whirl at a vegetarian recipe that I've been wanting to do for quite some time now. A vegetarian red curry! If you're not vegetarian, you could easily add some fatty cuts of meat to this to make even more flavor come out and add more protein to the dish. For being ready in just under 20 minutes, this turned out to have some incredible flavors. The "fish" sauce definitely comes through, which I love, and adds a more authentic flavor to all of it. Allowing the curry paste to ...

Coconut Cream Yogurt

Coconut Cream Yogurt

Making your own yogurt might seem like a weird idea at first, but it's pretty simple and it's almost all hands off. We're going to culture the coconut milk in the oven using the light of the oven and the contents of probiotic capsules. You want your coconut milk to culture in the 110F - 115F range. We'll achieve this by leaving just the light of the oven on and keeping the door completely closed. Don't open it during the culture period! You may also want to invest in an oven thermometer so you ...

Low Carb Flax Tortillas

Low Carb Flax Tortillas

It's not often that I go around the blogosphere screaming from the rooftops about how amazing a recipe is. Heck, I won't even do it now - I just want you to know that if you're looking for an awesome tortilla recipe that's really easy to do, then TRY THIS RECIPE. I know many of you have been using the other tortilla recipe on the site, but the dough starts to get a little tough to work with unless you work very fast. As the boiling broth cools, the dough starts to cling together, making it ...

Pork Shiitake Stir Fry with “Quick Kimchi”

Pork Shiitake Stir Fry with “Quick Kimchi”

May 16, 2014 by 6 Comments

A delicious blend of Asian infused flavors come together to give you a delicious meal in under 30 minutes. From the tender, succulent pork to the tangy and spicy "Kimchi" that lays atop, everything works in unison to finish off your bite with a punch of umami. Definitely worth trying this one - and if you want to, you can even make the "Kimchi" previously and let it sit in the fridge overnight (or for a few days). The reason I put kimchi in quotes is because it's my own take on it, rather ...

Low Carb Microwave Hamburger Bun

Low Carb Microwave Hamburger Bun

May 15, 2014 by 52 Comments

So it's been dawning on me lately that I've really wanted a proper hamburger. Yeah, you can make those ultra thin buns with a whoppie pan, or you can even make a cupcake bun and cut it in half - but it's just not the same. Plus, you have to do so much work just for a few buns. I wanted something that I could throw together in a sinch and not have to worry about cleaning up, baking times, or any of that other stuff. Luckily, I've come up with a pretty good solution - hamburger mug bun, ...

Bacon, Red Pepper, and Mozzarella Frittata

Bacon, Red Pepper, and Mozzarella Frittata

May 14, 2014 by 8 Comments

I can't take full credit for this recipe, Gordon Ramsey definitely gave me inspiration with his bacon, red pepper, pea, and spring onion frittata. But, he didn't add enough fats for me so I manipulated the recipe a bit to allow for more fats (mushrooms help out with the absorption of those) to create an absolutely delicious breakfast or brunch for you to share and enjoy! Heck, even I don't want to share this, so if you're like me, you can just portion this out into 6 servings and eat it for ...
