Oh man - if you’ve never had blue cheese and bacon together then you are in for a real treat. It is very delicious, and a combination that makes this salad one of the best I’ve ever had. Now this recipe is very similar to a Cobb salad, but minus a few ingredients. I would recommend adding some hard boiled eggs to this delicious dish if you want. It gives it a bit more variety, however by itself, this salad is still perfect. Yields 6 servings of Blue Cheese and Bacon Salad The ...

Keto Sansrival

Sansrival is a Filipino classic - crispy, chewy, meringue layered with French buttercream and cashew nuts. Translates to, “without rival.” Aptly so, as this is hands down a crowd favorite. The original recipe calls for a dacquoise, a meringue made with nuts that when cooked long and slow yields a crispy wafer. The keto version, however, will not have the same texture. Instead it’s more sponge-y. Sugar’s hygroscopic, or moisture absorbing, nature lends to the crunch that sweeteners ...

What’s better than sipping on some nice hot soup on a cold winter day? Nothing. So I created a nice creamy, roasted, soup that is just for those days when you want to sit next to the fire while curled up with a book. The best part about this roasted red pepper soup is that it is incredibly easy to make and takes roughly 20 to 30 minutes from start to finish. I thickened this delicious dish with xanthan gum, but the roasted red peppers also helps it to thicken. I really enjoy a nice ...

This artichoke and spinach dip is just like your favorite restaurant appetizer, but you can make this one at home in just a few minutes. Chopped artichoke hearts and spinach are mixed into an ultra cheesy, and super filling dip. Don't have an Instant Pot? That's OK! You can also put this in the slower cooker on low for a few hours, or even just cook it on the stove. I like using the Instant Pot more because it's faster and easier to clean. I used Swiss cheese in this dip because I like ...

Jalapeños and cream cheese are one of the best combinations out there! From jalapeno poppers to tasty burgers - the combinations are endless. Today I decided to try my hand at a popper pizza. When I first decided to make this recipe, I played with the idea of using cream cheese as the base sauce. While it would have been super delicious, I think it would have been too cheesy for this recipe. So instead, I used a tomato paste with no added sugars. I gotta say, it turned out pretty well. ...

It's packed full of salty bacon, cheddar cheese, and fresh chunks of tomato. While this is a great recipe to whip up for parties, I like serving this when we're just home catching up on our favorite shows too. It's a quick crowd pleaser, and people will definitely ask you for this recipe! Instead of baking in the oven, feel free to cook ...

Eating the same old tuna salad in a romaine lettuce leaf has quickly risen to the top of my list of, "Things I never want to have for lunch again." Yet, when I am trying to squeeze my Omega-3’s into my meal plan, I only think tuna for lunch or salmon for dinner. I blame my mother for packing my tuna salad sandwiches for lunch every Friday of my childhood. So there I was, packing tuna and mayo in a lettuce leaf or on a salad and hating my lunch…until now! Utilizing the simplicity of canned ...
