Happy Valentines Day to all my ketogenic friends out there! So, I know you've probably not made anything for your significant other, and now you're scratching your head on what epic treat to make. Well, nobody wants roses anymore - it's too easy, so put some work into it and give him/her something they'll really like! Keto-approved, of course. These almond lemon cakes are superb. I had some icing left from the Red Velvet Fried Donuts yesterday and decided to use it. Actually, they inspired me ...

Keto Valentines: Red Velvet Doughnuts!

Keto Valentines: Red Velvet Doughnuts!

February 13, 2014 by 5 Comments

Valentines day is coming up and I just wanted to say thank you to each and every one of you that comes to the site and reads the articles and recipes on here! Even though a ketogenic diet can sometimes seem strict, there's always ways to bring old comfort foods back. Red Velvet Donuts are a staple Valentine's Day food that has changed pretty greatly over the years. Originally, untreated cocoa was used which gave the red color when baked due to the chemical reaction from the anthocyanin and ...

Come on, just admit it. You haven't had french toast in a while and you want it now. This is the perfect excuse to get that cinnamon-y, semi-crunchy, delicious taste. You can put some twists of your own on this one for sure. Add maple extract or Walden Farms Maple Syrup. You can add allspice, clove, or any other spice you see fit and think would work well. My intentions was to keep this simple, so almost everyone could make this. Keep in mind that I normally don't eat berries, and I ...

Keto Broccoli Cheddar Biscuits

Broccoli is probably my most favorite vegetable out of all the vegetables. It's delicious, nutritious, and it acts as a binder. Cauliflower is a close second, but for me it just doesn't taste as good. You have to actually put effort into getting rid of that pungent smell and taste with cauliflower, with broccoli the taste is welcomed. I'd seen a lot of biscuit recipes circling around lately, so I wanted to try my own spin at some "biscuits". They turned out pretty awesome, nice and crunchy on ...

Sometimes we just need dinner in a rush, but there's never an excuse to sacrifice taste, nutrients, or your diet for a fast answer. I got this meal done in just under 25 minutes from prep to plate. It's extremely fast, extremely tasty, and easy to do! Just remember that vegetables are still necessary on a ketogenic diet, and the micronutrients inside are vital to us. So, you might be wondering why there's 7g Net Carbs per serving? Well all that broccoli really adds up in the carb counts - ...

Remember the BBQ Pulled Chicken recipe that I did in the slow cooker the other day? Well it made quite a lot of food, and there was certainly leftovers to go around. I wanted to put something nice together that makes the leftovers seem like a new dish completely. All in all, this takes pretty little effort to put together. Just mixing together the batter for the buns, and the rest is almost auto-pilot cooking. From start to finish it took me maybe 30 minutes - so this would be a great meal if ...

I've been running low on ideas recently, and running even lower on things to use in my pantry. I know I haven't made a cookie recipe in a long time, so I figured I'd go down that road...but what ingredients to use? Well, I haven't made anything with coffee, so I figured that would be great! So, the outcome? Delicious Vanilla Latte Cookies that almost have perfect macros for a ketogenic diet! I ended up making 10 really large cookies from this batch (about 6 inches diameter), but you could ...

There's nothing better than walking through your front door after a long day of work and smelling the delicious flavors that have been cooking for you all day. Nothing to worry about, dinner is finished, and you don't have to stress yourself any more than you already are! If you guys haven't already got some fish sauce, go ahead and give it a try!

Thai Style Low Carb Peanut Chicken

Thai Style Low Carb Peanut Chicken

February 4, 2014 by 19 Comments

This is a beautiful dish that combines elements of earthy peanuts, acidic citrus, and umami; finishing off with a slightly sweet and spice from the chili. If you're a fan of Asian style peanut sauces (think satay), then you'll love this dish. Plus, it sits at just under four net carbs per serving! If you have the carb allowances for the day, you can pair this with a side of cauliflower fried rice to complete the meal. We chose broccoli, which when steamed al dente, adds a fantastic crunch ...
