Hope you're all enjoying your Memorial Day Weekend! Let's fire up the grill (or...the stove) and cook a beautiful steak for dinner tonight! Not just any steak...skirt steak. One of my favorite cuts! If cooked right, this will turn out to be a tender and succulent slab of meat that not many can resist. Feel free to head over to the Flaxseed Tortilla page to grab the recipe for those. Can anyone say fajitas for dinner tonight? You can easily serve these with a side of Vegetable Medley too, to ...

Cauliflower Cheddar Bacon Casserole
Casseroles are something I don't do too often, just because I prefer not to freeze too much food - but I had a bunch of stuff laying around in my kitchen and had no clue what to do with it. Casseroles are pretty handy to do once a month, to clean up any food that might be going bad and combine a ton of flavors into one compact meal. This turned out exactly as you'd expect - very flavorful meats through each bite, extreme amounts of cheese, and a delicious crunch from the cauliflower. If ...

Blackened Tilapia Fish Tacos
I wanted to give a great way to serve everyone for dinner (low carb, or not) on Cinco de Mayo. These fish tacos were made yesterday while people were over, and they all loved it! It's a fantastic dish to serve up, and low enough carb that everyone can enjoy. I hope you do too! If you're wondering about the guacamole, you can find the recipe for it over here. It's a really great flavor combination with the fish because it brings the fresh and crunchy flavor profile of the red onion with the ...

Turkey Dinner with Homemade Gravy
When a special occasion comes along, be it a holiday or a family get together, you may want to bring a turkey out and roast it in the oven. That's what we do, anyway. It's a pretty easy way to feed everyone without too much work going on. I figured I'd share the turkey we did for Easter so you guys can get an idea of what you can do on special occasions too! The turkey came out great - very garlicly, very moist, and a fantastic gravy on the side. Not to mention I pretty much always do my ...

Thai Chili Lime Meatballs
I haven't done meatballs in a while and I wanted to see if I could put an Asian twist on some of the meats I had in the fridge. Well, I had ground pork and ground beef - so it was an easy one. Tons of limes are found throughout my house because I love them to bits - so I tossed some lime juice in pretty much everything I could and called it a day. These meatballs pack a bit of a punch, so if you're the type of person that doesn't like the heat, de-seed your chili peppers! The taste? Well, the ...

Creamy Spinach Pork Tenderloin Roulade
Okay, okay, I know when you hear the word roulade you start to think "Yeah right, this recipe is way too much work!" But just hear me out for a minute - it's really not. Think about this: you pound some meat, toss some fillings in, and roll it up. Not too hard sounding now, is it? Pretty much you'll just pound out a pork tenderloin, fill it with spinach and cream cheese, roll it up and keep it in place with toothpicks or butchers string, and throw it in the oven for an hour and a bit - no ...

Now I know the traditional ingredients of making coconut shrimp aren't in here, but trust me here - you won't be missing the old, traditional recipe. You'll get all the crunch, all the sweet and spiciness in the sauce, and all of the taste of regular coconut shrimp. Except, this time there won't be anywhere close to as many carbs. It doesn't take long to make, and it turns out fantastic! While I was cooking the shrimp, I decided to look online for an interesting way to make a dipping ...

Keto Skirt Steak Fajitas
Fajitas are something that I've been REALLY craving lately, so I set out to make some that weren't going to disappoint. Low and behold, these fajitas did the trick! They'll serve around 6 people, but I didn't make enough tortillas for that many. If you need to serve to a large group of people, take your time to make more tortillas than what's in the recipe. You can also make larger tortillas and serve 1 per person if you use the original recipe. You can find the tortilla recipe here, but I've ...

The Best Turkey Meatballs
I kind of have a confession to make: I've been holding this recipe out for some time. It's one of my all time favorite meatball recipes, and to me, one of my all time favorite recipes in general. The tender turkey meat absorbs the flavor really well from all of the peppers, onion, and spinach, bringing you a delicious bite sized ball of meat that anyone on keto is sure to love. Heck, even non-keto people will love the smell of bacon and that'll get them going enough to really want to dig into ...
