Salami, provolone cheese, and tart peppers wrapped up in a cheesy dough - what more could you ask for? This Italian cheesy bread bake is a cinch to make and perfect to serve for lunch with a spinach salad. It's very filling, and is great to pack for lunches too. Most cheese based doughs are made with mozzarella and almond flour. This time were making it with Monterey jack cheese, coconut flour, and some flax seed meal. If you like the almond flour version better you can of course make ...

Zucchini noodles have been the holy grail of ketogenic pasta dinner solutions for years and thankfully they have continued to get more delicious, not to mention more convenient. Unfortunately, making “zoodles” often takes a fancy zucchini noodle making contraption that you may or may not be able to get your hands on. Solution? Zucchini ribbons! By using a run of the mill vegetable peeler and a little good old fashion elbow grease, you can turn the most popular summer veggie into faux ...

These smoked salmon and goat cheese bites combine bitter radicchio leaves, smoked salmon, and faintly sweet herbed goat cheese. The purple radicchio leaves and pink smoked salmon make beautiful appetizer cups. Each creamy bite is packed full of herby and smoked flavors. You will need to find radicchio at your grocery store for this recipe. Radicchio has bitter, but tender purple leaves. You can find it all year long, but it's peak season is winter through spring. If your produce ...

Spinach, Herb & Feta Wrap

Spinach, Herb & Feta Wrap

June 6, 2017 by 6 Comments

One of my favorite pre-keto breakfast indulgences was the infamous Spinach Feta Wrap by the one and only Starbucks. Seemingly healthy, right? Spinach and egg whites with chopped sun-dried tomatoes and feta, all wrapped up in a toasty whole grain wrap; only the whole grain wrap was big enough to feed a 2.5 adults and the amount of egg was disappointing. Down that beautifully toasted, gluten-heavy breakfast wrap along with Venti Mocha and you’re looking at more carbohydrates than I’d like to ...

Hi Craig! I waited to write and reply to this email until I had done my second month of weigh-ins, measurements, and pictures! I started my keto journey just two months ago; I began working with a personal trainer and I also began researching a number of diets, especially ones I felt could be integrated and maintained for a lifetime. I came across ruled.me and was hooked! Your information, blog, and recipes have be totally instrumental in helping me stay on track and continually make ...

This nacho steak skillet features roasted cauliflower, thin sliced steak, cheese, and lots of fun nacho toppings. I think this qualifies as keto comfort food! You can serve this at the family dinner table and let everyone fix up their bowls however they like. Another option for this recipe is to leave the cauliflower on the sheet pan and just top everything there. I like the presentation of the skillet, but it's really up to you. If you don't like spicy foods then be sure to skip the ...

One of my favorite keto things to make is cheese based dough. It is incredibly versatile. These feta and bacon bites are just one of many things that you can make with this type of dough. Not only are these bites super easy to make, but cook time is roughly 15 minutes! They are also a great snack to keep for on-the-go. For this recipe I used a muffin tin, however you don’t have too. You can put these on a cookie sheet (lined with parchment paper) or a silicon baking mat. I used a muffin ...

Hey Craig, In just 4 months I have lost 35 lbs. I was amazed that in just the first week I had lost 5, and felt better than I had for years. Last year I was diagnosed with toxic black mold syndrome, and chronic fatigue syndrome as a secondary diagnosis. Due to these problems I have odd neurological symptoms and moderate anxiety. Drugs don't help my anxiety. Since I began this diet my anxiety has lessened a ton. My general neurological symptoms such as difficult word recall, twitching, and ...
