Jalapeno poppers are a great way to get flavor and fats into your dinner. If you're tired of oily meals and fatty soups, then this will be the perfect break for you. The cream cheese stays soft and delicious on the inside while the heat of the pepper comes through on every bite. You can easily change up the flavor profile of this by changing the type of cheese you use, the spices that go into the cheese mixture, or chopping up some extra cooked bacon and stuffing that inside also. From prep ...
Portobello Personal Pizzas
May 28, 2014 by 3 Comments
A super simple and easy way to make lunch ahead of time. No making dough, no microwaves, just simple ingredients and great taste. If you don't have basil, you can skip it - but be warned that skipping the basil will make the flavors a lot flatter. The basil adds a fantastic note of freshness throughout the pizzas which is perfect with all of the fatty components. Make sure that when you rub the mushrooms with oil that all of that oil gets sopped up by the mushrooms. You don't want excess oil ...

Vegetarian Red Coconut Curry
May 21, 2014 by 9 Comments
I decided to give a whirl at a vegetarian recipe that I've been wanting to do for quite some time now. A vegetarian red curry! If you're not vegetarian, you could easily add some fatty cuts of meat to this to make even more flavor come out and add more protein to the dish. For being ready in just under 20 minutes, this turned out to have some incredible flavors. The "fish" sauce definitely comes through, which I love, and adds a more authentic flavor to all of it. Allowing the curry paste to ...

Pork Shiitake Stir Fry with “Quick Kimchi”
May 16, 2014 by 6 Comments
A delicious blend of Asian infused flavors come together to give you a delicious meal in under 30 minutes. From the tender, succulent pork to the tangy and spicy "Kimchi" that lays atop, everything works in unison to finish off your bite with a punch of umami. Definitely worth trying this one - and if you want to, you can even make the "Kimchi" previously and let it sit in the fridge overnight (or for a few days). The reason I put kimchi in quotes is because it's my own take on it, rather ...

Egg Salad Stuffed Avocado
April 27, 2014 by 11 Comments
Normally I'm one of the very few people on this planet that actually says, "I hate avocados." I just kept seeing so many people loving them and loving them, so I decided to give them a try again. When I was growing up, I actually had an avocado tree and I just never liked the taste, texture, or really anything about the suckers. But lately I just wanted to like them so much that I bought a bag. Boy oh boy, my tastes have changed or something because I really love them now! Salt and pepper ...

Cheesy Thyme Waffles
April 6, 2014 by 4 Comments
Definitely not the prettiest dish of the bunch, but I just had to post this one. For me, while looks are quite important most of the time, taste reigns supreme at the end of the day. This dish hits the nail on the head when it comes to taste. Time to get our cheese on...waffle style! The distinct flavor of cauliflower is knocked down into a subtle flavor you can easily handle with the crisp, almost burnt cheese on the outside and the rich, creamy flavors on the inside. The thyme, garlic, and ...

Fresh Chicken and Bacon Patties
April 4, 2014 by 4 Comments
This is a dish that you can whip up in a pinch with ingredients you already have. Chicken, bacon, eggs, cheese, and peppers are staples of a ketogenic diet. The taste of fresh bell peppers alongside smoky bacon will leave you looking forward to the leftovers! These chicken patties are the perfect savory recipe for a chicken, bacon, and ranch salad or placed inside one of my almond buns with lettuce and that sweet, sweet sriracha (also known as nectar of the gods). They're also versatile ...

Bacon, Cheddar and Chive Mug Cake
March 19, 2014 by 17 Comments
When you think of a mug cake, you might think of one of the sweeter options. But, savory mug cakes can be made too! Not to mention, they're pretty freakin' awesome. Cheese really helps these things out with the texture too. It gives a more moist, more delicious, more hearty and filling keto fat bomb that you can actually use to replace a full meal - breakfast or lunch! Just in case you did miss our sweet series of mug cakes, you can check them out below: Chocolate Cake in a Mug Chai ...

Low Carb Corned Beef Cabbage Rolls
March 18, 2014 by 2 Comments
Okay, okay. I know I promised to bring you savory mug cakes and I definitely will - I just thought a nice intermittent break would be useful for the people that don't always enjoy mug cakes. Don't worry though, they're coming soon! These cabbage rolls are really an awesome way to eat corned beef. I knew for sure I was making corned beef for St. Patty's day (and sorry I didn't post this yesterday, I had it for dinner last night), but I didn't know what way I would eat it. Once I took the ...

Inside Out Bacon Burger
March 7, 2014 by 15 Comments
It's been a long time coming that I actually use the meat of a burger as buns - but that time has finally come! Bacon, cheese, and some crispy raw onion between 2 patties of...more bacon and ground beef? Count me in! If you're feeling extra frisky (and have the calories to fit it in), I HIGHLY suggest throwing some Bacon Jam in the middle of this sucker. Not only will it bring an awesome contrast in the flavors with the vinegar of the jam, but it adds more bacon! Okay, since switching to a ...
