Just a heads up and a bit of exciting news. Well, you might have noticed that the website has been re-designed! Over the last month, I've been quite inactive and I've been here, but in the background. I've been working diligently and tediously to bring out the new design of the site, logo, and overall feel of everything. I hope you guys enjoy how the new look feels, navigates, and well...looks :) I've got some other exciting news, too! Through the huge amount of responses I've had on the ...

Crispy Chipotle Chicken Thighs
Chicken is always something you have to scrutinize when on a ketogenic diet. From the high protein content to the low fat content, it's something that most of us opt out of using as a staple in our diets. But, my question is why? Chicken thighs are a delicious piece of poultry that come with an added skin that you can crisp up yourself. This adds not only a great texture in every bite, but also the ability to bring tons of flavor that chicken so easily absorbs. Cooking these skin side down in ...

Low Carb Pasta a la Carbonara
So, what if I were to tell you that the pasta you see above is actually low carb and fits well into the keto lifestyle? I know, I was gob-smacked too! Pasta and rice have always been the 2 true things that I miss on keto. Cauliflower rice does the trick (especially when fried, mmmm) for one part, but the keto pasta I never figured out. Zoodles, shirataki noodles, kelp noodles...none of them ever did the trick for me. The resemblance was there, but the taste and texture were never there. These ...

Low Carb Moroccan Meatballs
Lamb is one of the most distinct meats for me, flavor wise, and love to get my hands on it when I can. Of course it's expensive, so it's a once in a while type of love affair. Today, we're going to make some Moroccan Meatballs - the flavors of the Mediterranean paired with the fresh mint, cilantro, and thyme that are all so prevalent in Moroccan cooking. If you've had lamb at a Mediterranean or even middle eastern restaurant, you'll know exactly what this tastes like. It tastes just like ...

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 ...
