Is there anything more keto than shaved steak smothered in melty provolone? Yes, you heard me right, shaved steak smothered in melty provolone and wrapped in an egg! This omelet, or more so an omelet roll, is not only filling but mostly portable, too! Well, if you don’t mind a little melty cheese on your fingers. The lightly beaten egg wrap uses oil for pliability that holds up to hunks of seasoned steak and onions. Some cheesesteak recipes may be complicated or include a long list of ...

Crab Cake Stuffed Mushrooms

September 25, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Crab cakes were always one of my favorite treats when dining out! Loaded with crab meat and fried to perfection, these meaty medallions were an indulgence that I wrote off after becoming low carb. Luckily, they are so easy to replicate and make keto friendly! What I love most about this recipe is that each stuffed mushroom is nearly an entire meal. Portion control, especially with a crab cake, can be tough. The mushroom cap is the perfect way to feel “full” while holding all the glorious ...

Plus, it’s so easy to make something as simple as a chicken ...

Braised Pork Belly Noodles

Braised Pork Belly Noodles

June 14, 2018 by Leave a Comment

There is nothing more comforting than a bowl of hot noodles and this dish is umami-packed without the guilt of wheat! We are using kelp noodles. They are clear, thin, almost glass-like noodles. Kelp is a seaweed that is rich in iodine. They are technically not noodles - think of it as a sea vegetable that is fat-free, gluten-free, and very low in carbohydrates. Because it looks like ramen noodles, you may use it anywhere you would use actual noodles, think hot broths and stir-fries! Kelp ...

Caesar Salad Bacon Baskets

Caesar Salad Bacon Baskets

May 31, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Crisp bacon baskets stuffed with a quick Caesar salad. This fun lunch option is a great way to switch things up. When you fold these to take a bite, you've essentially created Caesar salad tacos - and there's no judgment here on that. These baskets are savory overload. The bacon, Parmesan, and Caesar dressing combine salt and umami. The touch of tomato is not traditional for a Caesar but brings a welcome element of freshness to each bite. I mention this in this again in the steps, but ...
