I have never made such a quick and straightforward soup, until this dill pickle soup. It’s incredibly easy and tastes fantastic. The best part of this is if you let it cool, it tastes exactly like McDonald’s ‘Big Mac’ sauce and would be great on a bunless burger. This recipe takes about 15 minutes to make, yet it’s great for the long winter nights in front of the fire! I used xanthan gum to thicken the soup...and I found that mixing it with olive oil before the soup has a better ...

Eating the same old tuna salad in a romaine lettuce leaf has quickly risen to the top of my list of, "Things I never want to have for lunch again." Yet, when I am trying to squeeze my Omega-3’s into my meal plan, I only think tuna for lunch or salmon for dinner.

One of my all-time favorite appetizers has always been loaded potato skins. I still get cravings for that combination of cheese, sour cream and bacon. If you want to adhere to the vegetarian lifestyle while remaining keto, the solution is all in the seasoning! I love using chopped mushrooms in place of bacon bits. As you know, we eat with our eyes so appearance is everything. When seasoned and cooked properly mushrooms can fool, or at least entice, most of my carnivorous friends. Smoked ...

However, you could also make it with canned halved tomatoes, but you’d need to run the soup through a blender to make it nice and smooth. This soup is ...
