I've been on a mission lately to use up different ingredients found around most common households. There's been quite a few e-mails sent to me lately about tuna melts. I never really had too many of these pre-keto, but I've had my fair share of grilled cheese and knew exactly what to do to get something portable, easy to make, and perfect for any time of the day. These keto tuna melt bites really fit the bill. The crispy outside matches great with the soft, creamy filling on the inside. It ...
Keto Mixed Green Spring Salad
With spring having just ended and the summer heat quickly approaching, a refreshing and filling salad is something that really fits the bill. A lot of people tend to think that salads are boring, plain, and only really eaten by people on a "diet". I tend to load my salads up, and bring the flavor with it - it's a great vehicle for many different tastes. Plus, the dressing you use is going to be loaded with fats, which means the macros are perfect for keto. Using the 5 Minute Keto Raspberry ...

Cheese Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs
Here's another super simple, extremely delicious keto lunch or dinner that you can do! It takes a total of about 10 minutes to prep everything, but the rest of the time you just have to wait for the oven to be done. It doesn't get much easier than this. Cheese stuffed bacon wrapped hot dogs would taste exactly how you expect - very savory, rich, and fatty. The bacon really crisps up nicely, but if you want to, you can always broil it for a little extra crisp at the end. You can also use ...

5 Minute Keto Egg Drop Soup
I've been really wanting to post some simple and easy meals for a few weeks now. I've been working and experimenting to see what I can come up with, that takes the least amount of time but has the most impact flavor wise. I'm sure you saw my 5 Minute Pizza posted - which was a huge hit with everyone that made it. Now, it's time for soup! I was sick last week and was feeling really lazy. I wanted to make something that was tasty, but I didn't want to stand around in the kitchen for an ...

Crispy Tofu and Bok Choy Salad
Truth be told, I've never really had the opportunity to try tofu. It's always been on the list of things that seem like they'll be nasty if I tried them, or other people have told me the horror stories connected with it. But, I've got a pretty open mind and loved the idea of giving it a try with my own spin on it. Let me tell you - if you've never had tofu, or think you don't like it...you need to re-try it! Baked tofu is wonderful. Instead of the soft, gooey, flavorless mess that people ...

Jalapeno Popper Mug Cake
I've been on a binge of jalapeno popper stuff for a while now. Between my Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Popper Casserole and my Jalapeno Popper Fat Bombs, I really wanted to make something a bit different. Sometimes on keto we are forced to choose between easy and tasty - but that's the complete opposite when it comes to this recipe. Mug cakes are the perfect way to have a meal in just a few minutes. Mix all the ingredients together and put it in the microwave and you have an awesome cross between ...

Keto Pigs in a Blanket
Pigs in a Blanket were a staple in my household when I was growing up. If we held any get togethers for soccer games, we'd always have Pigs in a Blanket to serve to our guests. There's not too much I remember from when I was a kid, but these appetizers are definitely one memory I have. The sausage should be easily picked up in your local grocer. They have cocktail sausages, vienna sausages, or hotdogs you can cut up in place of regular Lit'l Smokies. Pick your favorite and use that. These ...

Low Carb Chili Lime Meatballs
This is a great change in flavor from the regular meals I usually make that are rich and hearty. These meatballs are extremely fresh and flavorful in their own way, bringing the bell pepper and lime to the forefront of each and every bite. They were such a treat to have while the snow was blowing outside, reminding us that spring is just around the corner. You can even serve these as a party appetizer like I did by adding a dab of guacamole underneath the meatballs and then sticking a skewer ...

If you have ever visited Brunei, Malaysia or Singapore, high chance you stumbled upon one of these while strolling through a night market. Roti John as it's called, is a kind of sandwich with a meat-filled omelette inside. They are usually cooked with butter. When bought, the sandwich is smothered heavily with mayonnaise and chili sauce or ketchup. It's then sliced to bite-sized pieces and wrapped with brown paper. The shape is quite distinct and you would instantly know it's Roti John ...
