Pesto Stuffed Mushrooms

February 8, 2018 by 2 Comments

I know you'll love these delicious, creamy, little low carb treats wrapped in bacon. Creamy pesto stuffed mushrooms wrapped in streaky bacon were such a hit with the entire family. They are so simple to make, I just wish I had tried this earlier. With only 282 calories per serving, and 2.8 net carbs, these stuffed mushrooms can be used many ways. They are also relatively low in protein which is great for using as a quick lunch perhaps, especially if you want a bigger portion of protein at ...

Caprese Chicken Thighs

Caprese Chicken Thighs

February 6, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Pan seared chicken thighs are smeared with a hearty pesto sauce, then topped with thinly sliced tomato and bubbly mozzarella cheese. Serve these with zucchini ribbons or our eggplant based monkey breads. Any time I've ever tried caprese style chicken it was made with chicken breasts, which too easily turn dry. With the chicken thighs you don't have to worry about that, these come out tender and juicy. The toppings are really just a bonus. When I calculated the nutrition I left in all ...

Crisp Meringue Cookies

Crisp Meringue Cookies

February 1, 2018 by 1 Comment

This dessert is an airy treat. Sweet meringue cookies melt in your mouth, with a touch of almond flavor and almost no carbs per cookie. You can quickly whip up a batch of these when you are in the mood for something sweet, but don't want to use up too much of your daily macros. I put in the instructions to bake for 40 minutes, but it really depends on the size of your cookies and how hot your oven runs. You'll know that they are done when you can easily peel the cookies from the parchment ...

Instant Pot Matcha Cheesecake

Instant Pot Matcha Cheesecake

January 30, 2018 by 4 Comments

This Instant Pot matcha cheesecake is for those of you who want to eat cheesecake, but don't want to fuss with the process of making it. It's best if you make this the day ahead, but I'm not going to lie - I've eaten this warm, almost directly out of the pressure cooker and it was still great. This cheesecake is dense but creamy, packed with grassy matcha flavor but lightened up with sweetened sour cream and a drizzle of maple flavored syrup. I know the syrup sounds weird, but you have to ...

I love egg salad, but I don't make it nearly as often as I desire. There's just so much time involved in hard boiling, then peeling all of the eggs needed. You probably know we've already got some pretty good recipes for egg salad as well, so if I was going to post another one it would have to be pretty spectacular. Enter the Instant Pot deviled egg salad. This recipe will show you how to quickly hard boil a ton of eggs in your Instant Pot, then chop it all up. No peeling necessary! It ...

Tomato Asiago Soup

Tomato Asiago Soup

January 23, 2018 by 7 Comments

One of the best things to do on a frosty day is sit back and enjoy a nice cup of tomato soup, but with all the sugar added in store bought cans, it’s hard to find one to eat while keto. So I knew I had to attempt a low-carb version. To make it easy, I made this soup with tomato paste, specifically choosing the one with the least carbs. However, you could also make it with canned halved tomatoes, but you’d need to run the soup through a blender to make it nice and smooth. This soup is ...

Pimento Cheese Dip

Pimento Cheese Dip

I have a new found love for sweet chilli peppers such as pimento (also known as cherry peppers). They are sweet, spicy, and best yet only 2 carbs per pepper! I recently tried pimento cheese on a burger and I figured...it was time to make it into a dip! This recipe only has 4 ingredients and is incredibly easy to make. In fact, the hardest part was finding the peppers. Now, I couldn’t find any raw pimento peppers, so instead, I picked up a pack (10 pcs) of stuffed cherry antipasto. You ...

Sesame Almond Zoodle Bowl

Sesame Almond Zoodle Bowl

January 11, 2018 by 1 Comment

The sesame almond zoodle bowl is the perfect vehicle for this amazing sauce.  Peanut sauce has been one of my favorite dipping and drizzling sauces for everything from low carb egg rolls to an overflowing bowl of stir fry veggies. Sadly, I’ve recently begun reducing my peanut intake. I’ve been focusing on more recipes that incorporate keto friendly nuts and nut butters like cashews and almonds and I have fallen in love! Swapping traditional peanut butter with almond butter for this sweet ...

This miso salmon is a light and flavorful way to add more seafood and healthy fats into your diet! The salmon fillets are marinated in sake, white wine, and miso for two days before cooking. This saturates the fish with a wonderful flavor. You can leave the skin on, or remove the skin too. It's really up to you, but crispy salmon skin can be a wonderful treat. This recipe goes great with a side salad, or you can make some seafood tacos using our keto tortillas. I made some zoodles and ...
