Tomato Basil and Mozzarella Galette

Tomato Basil and Mozzarella Galette

December 14, 2017 by 5 Comments

The beauty in a galette is that they don’t have to be beautiful to be delicious. In fact, the more rustic they look, the fancier the appear. This imperfect crust method is great for gluten free baking because it’s so forgiving in its looks and versatile in the fillings. You could go with a sweet “dessert” galette and fill it with low-carb fruits, or even a sweetened cream cheese filling, but today I want to share a cheese filled savory variety that will make you think you’re eating a the real ...

Vegetarian Keto Club Salad

Vegetarian Keto Club Salad

December 7, 2017 by 3 Comments

Being keto doesn’t have to be hard for all you vegetarians out there! Whether you have been doing keto for a while now, or have just made the switch, it can seem like every recipe you come across is meat heavy and low on the veggies. If you have been used to eating a diet that was primarily fruits and vegetables it can certainly leave you feeling like you are missing out and maybe even craving some of that fresh and crunchy texture. My solution? The simple but oh so filling keto ...

Vegetarian Greek Collard Wraps

Vegetarian Greek Collard Wraps

November 30, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Being keto and vegetarian can be difficult when you feel like you are always eating vegetables the same way! Then, there’s the obvious lettuce wraps that are always keto friendly but 9 times out of 10 they always contain some sort of meat. I mean, you don't think you want to eat a bunch of vegetables wrapped in a vegetable? You will! Trust me on this. This vegetarian Greek inspired veggie wrap is full of square cut veggies and thick hunks of salty feta complimented by the creamy tang ...

Roasted Poblano and Cheddar Soup

Roasted Poblano and Cheddar Soup

November 23, 2017 by 5 Comments

Soup season is here! Not that it isn’t completely appropriate to curl up with a hot bowl of soup anytime (hello, air conditioning!) but it is so much more gratifying when you’ve been frolicking in the cool temps and need something warm, filling, and cheesy! This soup has deep and smoky flavors that taste complex but are achieved with just a handful of simple ingredients. It begins with a base of pureed cauliflower and vegetable or chicken stock. The flavors build from there with sweet ...

Keto Onigiri

Keto Onigiri

November 16, 2017 by 3 Comments

Onigiri are a fast Japanese food option. Typically made with plain white rice, they are often stuffed with various fillings but can also be purchased without any fillings at all. They are perfect for packing in a lunch box, or just taking with you while you are on the go. For this recipe I adapted the rice component of our keto sushi recipe. Onigiri are usually made with plain rice, but I decided to use the vinegar and soy sauce anyway because I think it helps mask the cauliflower flavor. ...

Crispy Pork Salad

Crispy Pork Salad

October 24, 2017 by Leave a Comment

A delicious flavor packed salad filled with crispy pork belly, blue cheese, candied walnuts, fresh pear, and finished with a light vinaigrette. This salad is filling and so satisfying. My new personal favorite go-to salad. If you love your salads (and even if you don’t) and are looking for something both fresh, comforting, and keto friendly - then look no further. I enjoy this salad all year round. Try this salad with your own favorite keto salad dressing for an alternative. You don’t ...

Charred Veggie and Fried Goat Cheese Salad

Charred Veggie and Fried Goat Cheese Salad

October 3, 2017 by 4 Comments

There are not many salads I will eat without a dressing because, well, salad without dressing feels like chomping down on a pile of dry leaves. I prefer my salad leaves to be anything but dry and boring. That’s why I absolutely fell in love with the idea of a hot salad and char grilling is the way to go! If you are looking for something hearty and warm, but still gives you that crunch you crave from veggies, I highly recommend making this salad immediately! Not to mention, the bite of a ...

Garlic and Herb Monkey “Bread”

Garlic and Herb Monkey “Bread”

September 14, 2017 by 4 Comments

Yes, I know that it is sort of a stretch to compare eggplant to bread. Once it’s covered in cheese I can say with certainty that you won’t miss the gluten. Especially when it comes to this keto spin on traditional garlic and herb monkey bread! Dig in to melty mozzarella cheese that encases each piece of cubed eggplant, and holds it together in a golden brown shell. The outside stays soft due to the texture and water content of the eggplant, but you will get a little crust on the edge and ...

Roasted Mushroom and Walnut Cauliflower Grits

Roasted Mushroom and Walnut Cauliflower Grits

September 5, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Savory, cheesy grits are one of my favorite comfort foods. Fortunately it's easy to transition them from a high-carb treat to a keto staple. Cauliflower is so versatile and as we all know, it can substitute everything from rice to creamy mashed potatoes. This recipe takes cauliflower to a beautifully satisfying middle ground with texture complimented by a savory cream and sharp cheddar accent. Add a protein packed vegetarian topping of smoky roasted mushrooms, and walnuts, and you have a version ...

Oven Roasted Caprese Salad

Oven Roasted Caprese Salad

August 31, 2017 by 2 Comments

I’ve always have a love affair with fresh mozzarella, but as we all know even on a ketogenic diet no food is truly “unlimited.” A traditional caprese salad used to be my go-to at any potluck because the vibrant mix of fresh basil and creamy mozzarella was better than any of those other lettuce based salads…until now! The beauty of this, warm twist on a classic, is that it is much more filling but with all of the traditional flavor. Because the salad base is fiber packed spinach, it ...
