This sweet breakfast treat for one will brighten your morning! The Matcha Skillet Souffle is a sweetened whipped omelet with green matcha, bright raspberries, plus a drizzle of chocolate and a dollop of whipped cream. You will need a cast iron skillet or other type of oven proof dish that you can use on a stovetop. A smaller skillet will give you a fluffier souffle, but you can see that my wider skillet works just as well! If you have access to a stand or hand mixer then this dish is ...

These stuffed beef rolls are wrapped in prosciutto and stuffed with mushrooms, onions, spinach, cream cheese and other cheeses. They are crispy on the outside and gooey in the middle. I have used beef schnitzel to make these but you could use any steak that is big enough like flank steak. Just cut it thinly and pound until about ½ to a ¼ inch thick. You can also try this recipe using different fillings like sundried tomato, spinach and cheese, or feta, spinach and walnut. If you are ...

Soup season is here! Not that it isn’t completely appropriate to curl up with a hot bowl of soup anytime (hello, air conditioning!) but it is so much more gratifying when you’ve been frolicking in the cool temps and need something warm, filling, and cheesy! This soup has deep and smoky flavors that taste complex but are achieved with just a handful of simple ingredients. It begins with a base of pureed cauliflower and vegetable or chicken stock. The flavors build from there with sweet ...

Keto Onigiri

Keto Onigiri

November 16, 2017 by 3 Comments

Onigiri are a fast Japanese food option. Typically made with plain white rice, they are often stuffed with various fillings but can also be purchased without any fillings at all. They are perfect for packing in a lunch box, or just taking with you while you are on the go. For this recipe I adapted the rice component of our keto sushi recipe. Onigiri are usually made with plain rice, but I decided to use the vinegar and soy sauce anyway because I think it helps mask the cauliflower flavor. ...

Instant Pot Ribs with White Barbecue Sauce

Instant Pot Ribs with White Barbecue Sauce

November 2, 2017 by 9 Comments

Baby back ribs are a barbecue staple. There are many ways to prepare them, but the general rule is to cook them low and slow to achieve tender, fall-off-the bone meat that’s full of flavor. And unless you own an outdoor smoker, that usually means cooking ribs for several hours in the oven on low heat. But who wants to heat up the oven for hours at a time when it’s 100 degrees outside? I turned to my Instant Pot to create a rib recipe that turns out tender, flavorful, ribs in a fraction of ...
