I wanted to give a great way to serve everyone for dinner (low carb, or not) on Cinco de Mayo. These fish tacos were made yesterday while people were over, and they all loved it! It's a fantastic dish to serve up, and low enough carb that everyone can enjoy. I hope you do too! If you're wondering about the guacamole, you can find the recipe for it over here. It's a really great flavor combination with the fish because it brings the fresh and crunchy flavor profile of the red onion with the ...

Turkey Dinner with Homemade Gravy
When a special occasion comes along, be it a holiday or a family get together, you may want to bring a turkey out and roast it in the oven. That's what we do, anyway. It's a pretty easy way to feed everyone without too much work going on. I figured I'd share the turkey we did for Easter so you guys can get an idea of what you can do on special occasions too! The turkey came out great - very garlicly, very moist, and a fantastic gravy on the side. Not to mention I pretty much always do my ...

Thai Chili Lime Meatballs
I haven't done meatballs in a while and I wanted to see if I could put an Asian twist on some of the meats I had in the fridge. Well, I had ground pork and ground beef - so it was an easy one. Tons of limes are found throughout my house because I love them to bits - so I tossed some lime juice in pretty much everything I could and called it a day. These meatballs pack a bit of a punch, so if you're the type of person that doesn't like the heat, de-seed your chili peppers! The taste? Well, the ...

Creamy Spinach Pork Tenderloin Roulade
Okay, okay, I know when you hear the word roulade you start to think "Yeah right, this recipe is way too much work!" But just hear me out for a minute - it's really not. Think about this: you pound some meat, toss some fillings in, and roll it up. Not too hard sounding now, is it? Pretty much you'll just pound out a pork tenderloin, fill it with spinach and cream cheese, roll it up and keep it in place with toothpicks or butchers string, and throw it in the oven for an hour and a bit - no ...

Egg Salad Stuffed Avocado
Normally I'm one of the very few people on this planet that actually says, "I hate avocados." I just kept seeing so many people loving them and loving them, so I decided to give them a try again. When I was growing up, I actually had an avocado tree and I just never liked the taste, texture, or really anything about the suckers. But lately I just wanted to like them so much that I bought a bag. Boy oh boy, my tastes have changed or something because I really love them now! Salt and pepper ...

Low Carb Key Lime Cheesecakes
I had lots of fun last week when I went on vacation to the Keys but among the tons of overpriced tourist teasures, I didn't bring much back home. That shouldn't surprise you though because it's only a few hours drive away. I did, however, bring some glorious fruits of the islands back with me - Key Limes. These little sweet, tart, unique flavored citrus fruits are an absolute delight in baked goods - especially cheesecake. You should know already since they're famous all over the world for ...

Italian Lemon Sponge Cake
Ugh! I'm really sorry I've been so slow with updating the website lately. It's been pretty hectic over here. My aunt and cousin came over from Spain and we all went down to Key West for a week to catch some rays and enjoy the ocean. Success! On another front, I'm pretty much done with the cookbook. It's in my designers hands right now and we're almost complete with the PDF version. Next we'll move onto the Kindle version and I'll get it up for sale. I'm really happy with the way this one ...

Keto Skirt Steak Fajitas
Fajitas are something that I've been REALLY craving lately, so I set out to make some that weren't going to disappoint. Low and behold, these fajitas did the trick! They'll serve around 6 people, but I didn't make enough tortillas for that many. If you need to serve to a large group of people, take your time to make more tortillas than what's in the recipe. You can also make larger tortillas and serve 1 per person if you use the original recipe. You can find the tortilla recipe here, but I've ...
