Come on, just admit it. You haven't had french toast in a while and you want it now. This is the perfect excuse to get that cinnamon-y, semi-crunchy, delicious taste. You can put some twists of your own on this one for sure. Add maple extract or Walden Farms Maple Syrup. You can add allspice, clove, or any other spice you see fit and think would work well. My intentions was to keep this simple, so almost everyone could make this. Keep in mind that I normally don't eat berries, and I ...

Egg and Bacon Cheese Baskets
Since I made the cheese chips recipe a while ago, I figured it was time to revisit them. This time, I wanted to use the cheese crisps as both a textural addition as well as a vessel for the food to sit on. This not only offers a deliciously crisp contrast in texture, but it also adds extreme portability to your breakfast, which is a big plus in my book! Make sure when you take your bacon out of the pan, you try to keep as much bacon fat in the pan as possible. This will allow you to cook ...

Cast Iron Kitchen Sink Frittata
I've been wanting to do a frittata in a cast iron skillet for a long time, but could never do it. I'm so glad I finally got around to it because the crust this thing created is phenomenal. A little bit crunchy, and then a whole lot of egg, meat, and cheese. I recently got my cast iron skillet off of amazon. It's pre-seasoned, but if you buy one (and I highly suggest it), you should re-season it yourself. Wash it with only water and salt. Wipe it down with olive oil or bacon fat and bake it at ...

Low Carb Breakfast Stax
Bacon weave. Check. Eggs cooked in bacon grease. Check. Vegetables. Check. This is just a delicious and nutritious breakfast, 'nuff said. They keep well, they taste fantastic, and they're really easy to make a few at a time. Can you say new breakfast staple? I know some people have been having problems weaving their bacon, or that it's not turning out right for them. I've put together a picture tutorial on How to Weave Bacon. This goes through the whole process, as well as the importance of ...

Almond Flour & Flax Seed Pancakes
A long time ago, I used to eat steel cut oat pancakes. I used to adore them, the chunky consistency, the full body taste, and the chewy texture. While these aren't as chunky, they came pretty damn close with the satisfaction. I don't like those protein pancakes or those cream cheese pancakes that turn out more like crepes. I want a PANCAKE and there's not all that much you can do to actually get what you wish on keto. I sought out an adventure and wanted to figure out a way to get a very low ...

The holidays are approaching fast and all of us on a ketogenic diet are struggling to find that perfect special morning breakfast. Well, I've got it and I'm here to share it with you all! Cinnamon Roll Waffles are the best of both worlds. That creamy, sweet, delicious cinnamon roll warm out of the oven mixed with the childhood favorite of most - waffles! These bad boys pack a ton of fat, a ton of protein (for waffles), and a huge amount of flavor. The moment these touch your tongue, a ...

Keto Bites: Crispy Stuffed Bacon Baskets
My quest for a basket of meat to put things in is still not over. This one came much closer to what I was searching for - it isn't on the money, but it is damn tasty! I won't be satisfied until something of epic proportions comes out of the kitchen. You can see my last "basket" attempts, 1 successful and 1 very tasty "failure". These aren't really 1 biters, but they sure as heck are worth making! They're a little labour intensive for one person to eat, but if you are wanting to impress ...

Keto Bites: Sausage, Bacon & Egg Baskets
I've been having this notion in my mind that I must create some sort of vessel to stuff things inside. My first thought was to make a basket out of bacon, but as you saw in my previous recipe, it didn't work as I thought it would. This time I figured I'd add sausage, and it seems to have worked! I was going to add a binder, but I didn't see it necessary since it stuck together with fat after a grind in the food processor. A food processor is a great tool to have around the kitchen. You can ...

Bacon Wrapped Low Carb Scotch Eggs
I've had a lot of bacon and eggs on hand lately, and by a lot I mean 48 eggs and 5 pounds of bacon. I need to use it up, and I figured I would start making eggs and bacon only, for the next few days. Trying to create some new ways to enjoy these guys, instead of the old bacon and scrambled eggs. Scotch eggs are a fantastic treat, and while it's hard not wanting to gulp down a dark ale while I'm eating one (or three) of these, they're still a delicacy I haven't encountered for years. The ...
