August 24, 2017 by Leave a Comment

A keto salad doesn't always have to have twelve different toppings or a long list of ingredients to be delicious, satisfying and nutrient dense! Sometimes the simplest of recipes can be a staple meal or an easy side to add with your favorite entrée. This salad is packed with healthy fats and can be altered slightly to meet any of your flavor preferences. You can try Asiago in place of Parmesan cheese, or baby kale or arugula in place of spinach. The key to making a fat burning salad is to ...

These delicious bacon and cheese muffins may look carby, but don’t let that fool you. They are only 2.2 net carbs per muffin. Plus, they are so easy to make! For this recipe, you will need cauliflower rice. Some stores do sell the cauliflower pre-chopped, but if you can’t find it, stick the vegetable into a blender and food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower is the size of a grain of rice. It’s fairly straightforward - the only annoyance is cleaning out the blender afterwards! The ...

Creamy Keto “Potato” Salad

Creamy Keto “Potato” Salad

August 17, 2017 by 2 Comments

There are a few foods that I have never been able to bring myself to buy pre-made. Guacamole is one because the amount of work involved is worth the fresh taste. The other is potato salad. Why would I buy a pre-made potato salad that I eventually doctor up by adding more spices, more mustard, and more time when I could have just prepared it myself? Well, in theory anyway. Sure, I hate buying potato salad but nine times out of ten I wouldn’t actually make it either because it is time ...

Hawaiian Hot Dogs

It’s time to bust out the BBQ. Hot dogs are a staple of the summer season, but with keto many people decide to skip the bun. Using cheese based dough to wrap around your hot dog is an ideal option to get in some extra fat and enjoy a bun. Let’s talk toppings. You could use any of your favorite meats or veggies really, but today I decided to try a ‘pizza’ inspired hot dog. Specifically Hawaiian - with pineapple, ham, and bacon! I also topped it with some sriracha mayo. You could also use ...

Here's another easy idea that you might enjoy if you liked the keto mug lasagna. This time we'll layer roast beef slices, pepper jack cheese, green chile, and sour cream. It's warm, melty, and will surely hit the spot for a quick lunch. This mug reminds me of a sandwich that a popular fast food chain used to make when I was younger. It had roast beef, green chiles, and cheese. I thought it would be fun to try layering all the best parts and enjoy it without the bread. If you're looking ...

This coleslaw packs a punch! It's a spicy, tangy, and creamy but also very simple to make side dish. Buffalo Coleslaw is not for the faint of heart, it takes traditional coleslaw and kicks it up a few notches.  This side dish is perfect for summer BBQ's. The dressing combines spicy hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, and some mayonnaise. I think a buffalo style sauce is the best for this, but you could make a spicy coleslaw with any pepper sauce. You might want to adjust the amount if using a ...

Whether its barbecue or snow season, coleslaw is always a staple for an easy salad or side item. Traditional coleslaw is made with sugar, vinegar, and loads of veggies. Though it could be fairly low in calories, it could also pack a whopping 20 or more carbs per ½ cup serving! This fresh low-carb take on a family favorite combines the powerful flavors of cilantro, avocado oil, and lime with a hearty, fiber-packed cabbage mix. The dressing is a variation of homemade mayonnaise using a ...

Up your fat intake with these delicious burger bombs. Cheese stuffed inside sausage and wrapped in bacon! Dip them in your favorite sugar-free condiments and it tastes like it’s straight out of a take out window. The best thing about these burger bombs are that they only require 3 main ingredients. I used raw sausage rounds for this recipe, but if you can’t find them, you can always take the skin off breakfast sausages and use the raw meat, after flattening them into small circles. While ...

These creamy, chocolatey keto fat bomb mousse cakes are decadent and have an awesome coconut twist. If you like coconut rough chocolate then you are sure to like these. They are guaranteed to satisfy any chocolate craving and one of the nicest ways I have found to increase my fat intake at 93% fat and about 2.5 net carbs per serving. I make these in my mini muffin tins using silicone cups but you don’t necessarily need the silicone wrappers. It just makes them easier to remove. I use a ...
