Deviled eggs are an extremely versatile food. You can serve them as an appetizer, a breakfast, or even for lunch. They're delicious one-biters and will please almost anyone you give them to. I've not met many people who don't like bacon and eggs (besides vegetarians/vegans). The moment you put them in your mouth, the rosemary hits you - filling your mouth with an herbaceous aroma and taste. As you chew, the dijon and bacon comes through, refreshing your entire palette. The egg whites start to ...

Bacon Wrapped Low Carb Scotch Eggs
I've had a lot of bacon and eggs on hand lately, and by a lot I mean 48 eggs and 5 pounds of bacon. I need to use it up, and I figured I would start making eggs and bacon only, for the next few days. Trying to create some new ways to enjoy these guys, instead of the old bacon and scrambled eggs. Scotch eggs are a fantastic treat, and while it's hard not wanting to gulp down a dark ale while I'm eating one (or three) of these, they're still a delicacy I haven't encountered for years. The ...

Bacon Crusted Frittata Muffins
These are one of my favorite things to cook; they're easy, pretty fast, and they save extremely well. Cook them in bulk and then you have breakfast for the entire week! When I cooked these, I tried 2 different methods of making the bacon basket. The way listed below had the best results - with the others, the eggs leaked completely through to the sides and the bacon curled up as it was cooking - making it more of a frittata keto muffin with a curl of bacon in the middle. They save ...

Tangy Bacon Egg Salad
The good ol' egg salad. Nothing wrong with that, right? Wrong. I have so many bad memories of egg salads being brought to barbecues, left out in the sun for hours, and served out to everyone. That taste of the eggs starting to rot is so off-putting, I haven't allowed myself to make one in a long time, but I decided to experiment with this tangy bacon egg salad. The distinct taste of the red onions really take this dish to the next level! It's spicy, tangy, and goes great with meat. Meat!? ...

How to Hard Boil Farm Fresh Eggs
There's a difference between farm fresh eggs and store bought eggs, and that is the membrane. The membrane will cling on to the shell of the egg, being more tightly bound the younger it is. When doing hard boiled eggs with farm fresh ingredients, you want to make sure they're aged at least 3-4 days old. To test whether they are ready for use, you can dunk them into a bowl of water. If it stands on it's end, it is ready for use. If the egg is fresh, it will lay on the bottom. You want ...

Low Carb Chili with a Kick
I've been trying to find a good chili recipe over the last few months, and I've finally found one worth posting. It's got a bit of carbs in it, but the taste makes it well worth it. It's very filling, very tasty, and gives you satiety for hours to come. It's a bit spicy, so if you are not into that sort of thing, feel free to sub out the tomatoes with jalapeno for just tomatoes. Once you have finished the "cooking" process in the slow cooker, the chili is still a bit watery from the tomato ...

White Chocolate Bark With A Twist
I've never been a big fan of the flavor of coconut (I know, I know), so fat bombs have never held much appeal to me. Then I discovered that coconut butter (also called coconut cream) has less of that coconut taste. To make things even better, I discovered cacao butter. Cacao butter is the fat extracted from the cacao been. It smells like chocolate, but is an off white color. As soon as I started working with it, I realized this would be my ticket to making white chocolate. Because of the ...
