Ham, Ricotta, and Spinach Casserole

Ham, Ricotta, and Spinach Casserole

February 21, 2017 by 9 Comments

During a busy week, I like to bake a crustless egg casserole for a quick grab and go breakfast. What’s great about making an egg based casserole is that it’s also very versatile, cheap, and filling. You can change up the meats, the vegetables, and even the spices for a change in flavor. And, you can have it at any meal. This version of my quick egg casserole has chunks of diced ham, ricotta cheese, and spinach. The ricotta cheese helps create a cheesy “crust” when blended with a couple ...

Anais Used Keto to Help With Her Cancer Treatments

Anais Used Keto to Help With Her Cancer Treatments

February 18, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Well, my story might be a little different. I actually went on the ketogenic diet because I have stage 4B Hodgkin's lymphoma. I did 6 months of chemotherapy in the winter of 2014 which didn't end up working. The next step was a bone marrow transplant, but since it was summer I wanted to wait a few months and enjoy myself. I ended up seeing a naturopath who highly recommended the keto diet since cancer cells feed on glucose. I immediately got on it and had to search really hard for all the info. ...

Mocha Cheesecake Bars

Mocha Cheesecake Bars

February 16, 2017 by 24 Comments

With the holiday season in full swing, I find myself making a lot of sugar-free goodies. When I was baking in the kitchen recently, I decided to try making a sugar-free cheesecake brownie bar. I haven’t made cheesecake bars in a while, and I wanted to create something different.  Something like mocha cheesecake bars! It started off simple with an easy brownie layer as the base. As I was working on the recipe, I decided I wanted to add some coffee to the batter to create a rich mocha ...

Bolognese Zoodle Bake

Bolognese Zoodle Bake

February 14, 2017 by 14 Comments

Bolognese sauce is a basic, but mighty, meat based sauce that is typically used for pasta's and lasagna. The secret to a delicious bolognese is a seriously long cook time and just the right temperature.   My recipe is relatively easy with just a few spices, and Rao's tomato sauce. If you cannot find Rao's, then look for a keto pasta sauce that is free from added sugar. While I'm calling for the marinara, I've also tested this recipe with their cheese flavor and it was equally as ...

Sue Lost 96 lbs in Six Months

Hi! Here's where I am so far.... I started keto February 12, 2015. At 5'7", I weighed 272, and I am now 176. That's a loss of 96 pounds, and counting, in just over six months! I am thinking 150 will be a good weight for me - We'll see. My weight loss has slowed a bit now. I am going to increase cardio (5k walk/run interval app is my fav), and I will add resistance training, as much as I hate lifting weights! Up to this point, I feel like the diet has been easy and the weight kinda ...

Keto Vanilla Bean Cupcakes

Keto Vanilla Bean Cupcakes

February 9, 2017 by 12 Comments

My keto vanilla bean cupcakes are sweet and full of flavor. Each cupcake is rich enough in vanilla that anyone would be able to taste it. This is a recipe you really have to try for yourself. I paired this with a vanilla cream cheese frosting, which complements the cupcakes really nicely. I think even just a plain cream cheese frosting would work nicely too. These vanilla cupcakes are given an added boost of moisture from adding mayonnaise to the batter. It’s really no different than ...

Keto Zucchini Bread with Walnuts

Keto Zucchini Bread with Walnuts

February 7, 2017 by 36 Comments

I normally don’t make many bread like desserts, but today was an exception. I happened to have a couple zucchini’s on hand, and I wanted to bake something for a dessert. Then it hit me - I haven’t made a zucchini bread in a long time!  So here is a recipe for keto zucchini bread with walnuts. Zucchini bread, to me, is more of a seasonal treat. My mom tends to make them more around the holidays. She prefers to make more of a sugary chocolate chip version than this one. But luckily, ...

First off I just to say THANK YOU! My wife and I have lost a combined 100 lbs! When we decided to go against humanity and cut carbs out of our diet it was terrifying to be honest. We just were tired of not being comfortable anymore. Everything was hard whether it be stairs or fitting in plane seats. Sucking my stomach in to bend down and tie my shoes was my breaking point so I began to do some research about keto diets and Ruled.Me popped up first. Being somebody who does a lot of research ...

To top it all off, a tart lemon glaze is generously drizzled over the rolls that seeps into the creases. The result is a decadent and satisfying breakfast that holds its own against any higher carb roll. Each bite is an explosion of sweet raspberry and tart lemon flavors that melt in your ...

Cheesy Cauliflower Onion Dip

Cheesy Cauliflower Onion Dip

January 31, 2017 by Leave a Comment

It’s football season in my house, which means there’s a lot more snacking going on. Since not all my friends or family watch their carb or sugar intake, I try to create snacks that everyone can enjoy. So I knew one easy way I could try experimenting with some snack worthy recipes was to try a new twist on a classic dip recipe. Unlike using a traditional french onion dip, I decided to try my hand at creating a dip with a cauliflower and an onion base. My thinking was that it would be a ...
