Strawberry Chia Seed Jam

Strawberry Chia Seed Jam

July 12, 2014 by 56 Comments

Chia seeds are one of my favorite things to use when I have the chance to use them. Not only do they make for some delicious foods, they're also pretty great for you, too. They're packed full of nutrients, so much so that they're one of the most nutrient dense things you can eat, calorie for calorie. Not to mention, they're filled with antioxidants, which has shown to have some positive health benefits. I've used chia seeds to thicken quite a lot of stuff - pudding, yogurt, sauces. But, this ...

Thick and Sticky Maple Syrup

Thick and Sticky Maple Syrup

February 22, 2014 by 56 Comments

Oh the joys of maple syrup! Through the years, I've experimented and used many syrups that are low carb. Mrs. Butterworths Sugar Free Maple Syrup has always been a pleasure of mine to use, though I do use it rarely. It's got aspartame so I know others wouldn't want to use it. Torani also does some awesome syrups, but I have decided that Torani is kind of expensive for what it is. I realize many people have a budget and many people like to make their own foods to their own tastes. So, I ...

Keto Friendly Bacon Jam

Keto Friendly Bacon Jam

February 15, 2014 by 22 Comments

So, we all love bacon, right? Bacon is a delicious treat we get to eat on a regular basis...but it just doesn't seem like I get enough of it as is. I wouldn't mind having some bacon with every meal. Well, now we can! Sorry vegetarians, but this one is not going to be for you. You can pretty much use this stuff on anything savory. I spread it on keto breads, spread it on frittata muffins, and top my dinners with it. It's just plain delicious! All of the flavors together create a sweet, ...

Homemade Tomato Sauce

Homemade Tomato Sauce

January 5, 2014 by 3 Comments

Although I don't use tomato sauce too much, I had to share this recipe. I recently made a trio of meatballs, including bacon with mozzerella, chorizo with cheddar, and italian sausage with pepperjack. The problem with a ketogenic diet is that we must be careful with those sugary vegetables (and pseudo-vegetables like tomatoes). I found a great tomato sauce that many of you will love. It's called Flora Tomato Sauce, and it doesn't have many carbs per cup! I decided to use this to create a more ...

Tangy Low Carb Tartar Sauce

Tangy Low Carb Tartar Sauce

December 10, 2013 by 2 Comments

Who doesn't love a good tartar sauce to go on their favorite fish? I used to be intimidated by making sauces from scratch, until I realized how easy they are to make. One of the things I like about this recipe is that it's a fairly small batch. With my homemade mayo always on hand, it only takes a few minutes to put this together. If you can do it a few hours ahead of time, all the better as it gives the flavors time to meld. makes 1/2 cup The Preparation ½ cup mayonnaise 1 ...

Zesty Keto Italian Dressing

Zesty Keto Italian Dressing

December 7, 2013 by 3 Comments

This recipe is very similar to my honey vinaigrette recipe. In fact, I just add the herb mix that I keep on hand to the honey vinaigrette if I already have that keto salad dressing made. Also, like the honey vinaigrette, this recipe develops its flavor over time. For this reason, I recommend you make it a day or two in advance. But like all of the recipes in our condiment section, it's still delicious even without waiting! I figure if I'm going to get all of those herbs out, I might as well ...

Easy Keto Honey Vinaigrette

Easy Keto Honey Vinaigrette

December 7, 2013 by Leave a Comment

This is the first homemade keto salad dressing I ever made. We use it quite a bit at our house. In fact, I never even refrigerate it, because it's usually gone within two weeks time (though I've had it last as long as a month). I mean, if you think about it, all of the ingredients are shelf stable. Why wouldn't they continue to be when mixed together? Also, I use raw honey, which is both antibacterial and antimicrobial. I figure I've got it covered either way. However, you can certainly store ...

Catalina Style Dressing

Catalina Style Dressing

December 7, 2013 by Leave a Comment

I love being able to whip up a keto salad dressing from scratch with my emulsion blender! Even if I don't have my homemade ketchup on hand for this recipe, it only takes a few minutes more to make it first. Keeping my fermented ketchup or mayo (which last quite a while) on hand really makes this a cinch! They are the base for most of my salad dressings. The Catalina is one of our favorites. It has a tangy sweet taste that is both subtle and rich. It goes well with just about any kind of salad ...

Cocktail Sauce Keto-Style

Cocktail Sauce Keto-Style

This is a great condiment to have on hand when seafood is on the menu. The richness of the homemade ketchup I use takes the flavor level up another notch. My favorite kind of recipe: quick and easy! Makes 1 ½ cups (24 tablespoons) Keto-Style Cocktail Sauce The Preparation 1 cup sugar-free ketchup 1/3 cup prepared horseradish ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons lemon juice ¼ teaspoon Frank's hot sauce The Execution 1. Put all ingredients into emulsion blender ...
