Huevos Rancheros

Huevos Rancheros

February 13, 2020 by Leave a Comment

Huevos Rancheros is a favorite Sunday breakfast --- was and will continue to be as it is ketofied! By using cheese and eggs as the base, we eliminate corn and flour tortillas. Admittedly, it takes a bit of patience, but once you get past the first one, the rest is easy peasy! With the addition of chipotle chili, we achieve a wickedly spicy and smoky salsa. A little goes a long way! The melted and melded cheese makes it easy to pick up. Runny yolks, need I say more? All pantry staples ...

Roasted Cajun Cauliflower Steaks

Roasted Cajun Cauliflower Steaks

February 11, 2020 by Leave a Comment

This cauliflower steak recipe is so great because it’s not cauliflower pretending to be rice, pizza crust or even mashed potatoes, but just being a deliciously roasted and seasoned version of itself! These cauliflower “steaks” are obviously not steaks at all, but rather large slices of whole cauliflower that are seasoned and roasted to perfection. The best part about roasting cauliflower in “steak” form is that the flat sides get a little crisp while the center is tender. The trick to ...

Lamb and Halloumi Burgers

A nice change from the normal beef burger, this combination is simply delicious and absolutely bursting with flavor. The lamb mince patty is filled with grated halloumi and fresh mint then served with a crunchy red cabbage slaw inside a crisp lettuce leaf. We all know lamb and mint is a winning flavor match but add salty chewy halloumi into the mix and it takes it to a whole new level. The raw red cabbage slaw adds a satisfying crunch and a lettuce leaf wrap means you can pick up and enjoy this ...

Chicken Inasal (Filipino Chicken BBQ)

Chicken Inasal (Filipino Chicken BBQ)

February 4, 2020 by Leave a Comment

Tangy, crispy, grilled chicken --- probably the best way to describe Chicken Inasal. Marinated in acids and aromatics, it’s a family favorite! Coconut Sap Vinegar is when coconut trees are tapped for its sap and then fermented. It is white and cloudy with a slight sweet smell. There is no coconut smell or flavor, surprisingly. Annatto (or Achuete) Oil is used widely in the Philippines mostly to give a warm burst of orange color in grilled dishes. Yields 6 servings of Chicken Inasal ...

Jalapeno Cauliflower Rice Balls

Jalapeno Cauliflower Rice Balls

January 30, 2020 by Leave a Comment

These crispy, spicy, and cheesy rice balls are the perfect way to use up cauliflower rice. I saw a recipe online that used regular rice and breadcrumbs. I knew right away that I had to try and recreate this with cauliflower. The inside is like a jalapeno popper, and the outside has a wonderfully crunchy texture thanks to the pork rind and Parmesan coating. If you have some leftover cauliflower fried rice on hand, then this would be a great recipe to make use of that. I’ve included ...

I find that I struggle the most during weeknight dinners because, honestly, who has time to slave in the kitchen after a hard day’s work? This Prosciutto and Mozzarella Bomb is not only filling, but it also pairs well with almost anything!  Made from a fresh mozzarella ball wrapped in prosciutto, then pan-fried - which creates a salty, smokey, and crispy exterior for the cheese filling. Throw on top of a bowl of baby spinach, olive oil, and balsamic glaze. Or how about sliced tomatoes ...

I know most people just want to scroll down to the recipe, so I will make this quick, but these spicy deviled eggs are delicious! This recipe is perfect for anyone who loves spicy finger foods. The red curry paste adds the perfect pop of spice and flavor to the creamy egg filling. They make an ultra-attractive appetizer or snack tray. Red curry paste can be found in many supermarkets now, but if you can’t find any then you may try making your own at home. Another substitute could be ...

Ditch the processed packets of powered onion dip and whip up this fresh keto green onion dip in less than five minutes! What I love most about this cool and creamy dip is how simple the ingredients are. I can almost guarantee that I have all of the ingredients, aside from the fresh onions, which are usually easy to get my hands on. Not only is this dip fresh and simple but it gets better with age! Let the dip refrigerate for 1 hour before serving and taste the difference (and potency) of ...

This open-faced burger is a great way to serve up a fast lunch or dinner without worrying about a bun substitute. Ground beef patties seasoned with taco flavoring are served up with avocado, lettuce, pickled jalapenos, and pepper jack cheese. A drizzle of olive oil across the top ties the whole thing together! This recipe is a bit calorie-heavy, so it may be best suited for those of you who like to practice intermittent fasting. If you need to adjust the macros down you can easily do this ...
