I've had quite the love of jalapeno poppers over the last few months, and I wanted a super simple way to get my favorite flavors of a jalapeno popper in the form of a quick snack. These little jalapeno popper fat bombs can pretty much be carried anywhere, and snacked on as needed to bring your fats up throughout the day. The flavor of these are exactly what you'd expect - a bit spicy (add jalapeno seeds inside if you want more spiciness), very creamy and rich, and packed full of bacon flavor. ...

Ketogenic Diet Low Carb Cheat Sheet
When people are new to the ketogenic diet, they often wonder what type of foods they should and could eat while restricting carbs.

Pecan Butter Chia Seed Blondies
A little delicious treat is something that everyone on a ketogenic diet will crave. But, when it comes to the carb counts and fat ratios, we need to make sure everything is in check before we start baking. These blondie squares are 88% calories from fat - just about good enough to be considered a fat bomb. As many of you know, I try to stay clear of the usual "fat bomb" consisting of frozen coconut oil and cocoa powder. You can check out my other "twists" on fat bombs by trying out a chia seed ...

Chocolate Covered Maple Pecan Bacon
I know I'm giving you the run over on the mug cakes this week but I figured you'd want to get this made ASAP because it's just too good to not make! This stuff was handed down from the heavens as far as I'm concerned, and I won't judge if you end up stocking this up on trays in your fridge. The only qualm I have with this stuff is that the chocolate melts pretty quick because it's mostly made up of fat...but who the heck cares? Are you going to be holding this stuff for more than 10 seconds? ...

Low Carb Corned Beef Cabbage Rolls
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 ...

Maple Pecan Keto Muffins
So I figured we needed a bit of a break from all the mug cakes before I start off on the savory series. Though I have all of the savory ones done, I wanted to give a bit of a treat to you guys (especially the ones without microwaves)! Boy, I didn't imagine in todays day and age that some people just don't own microwaves. They're so convenient but I do understand that the nutrients are pretty much sucked out of the joyous life of everything by those microwave radiation waves. Either way, I ...

1 Minute Molten Chocolate Brownie
While it's a rare occasion, I might still have the macros left for a protein-heavy dessert. Or, if I'm hungry midday and want a higher protein option to pair with something fatty, this does a great job. Yep, it's made with protein powder! We're aiming for a molten consistency here, so we want to under cook the cake a little bit. Imagine cake with a bit of melted ice cream on the side - that's what we want! There’s a ton of things you can do to make this exactly what you want – add cinnamon, ...

Lakeya’s 70 Pound Weight Loss Journey
I've always struggled with my weight since my teen years. I never really noticed how big I was until I stepped on the scale a few years ago and saw 360! I cried with pure shock and disbelief. I'm almost 6'3 and carry my weight very well. So I didn't feel 360. I tried to eat somewhat healthy (terrible on the weekends) and work out 6 days a week. I lost about 40 pounds in 2 years! That wasn't impressive for someone at 360. So last year in May I gave keto a shot. I found ruled.me and studied ...
