Want a low carb dessert? How about a keto dessert low on carbs and high in fat? It can be done! Desserts are inherently full of carbs. It's difficult to make something that satisfies your sweet-tooth craving that is not full of carbohydrates and sugar. These low carb rum balls are only 1 net carb per ball and are a great thing to bring to parties. Even my non-low carb friends enjoy this easy to make dessert. Before you go any further, it's important to note, there is a sugar

Pibil is a traditional slow-roasted pork dish from southern Mexico. With minimal to no adjustments, it makes an excellent addition to your low carb dinner menu. You can eat this keto friendly pibil over cauliflower rice, greens, or by itself. A serving of pibil (6oz) over a serving of garlic cauliflower rice. Now, if you're familiar with my blog you know I keep my posts short and light on the story to get you straight to the recipe and into the kitchen. The first time I had p

Have you ever gone out to eat, saw chicken wings on the menu and thought, "PERFECT! I'll order wings and my keto lifestyle will be safe." Only for them to arrive and have some sort of breading. Is it so much to ask for crispy chicken wings without breading? NOPE. It's not too much to ask. It's actually easier than you may think. Read on (or watch above) to find out how. Then head down to your local grocery store and buy them out of wings, because you're about to see how easy

Broth serves as a basis in which most things are built upon. You can use it for ramen, for pot roast, for soups, even drink it straight. The list seriously can go on and on. Broth is how you make the best of those scraps from cutting up your own meat or raiding the manager's special section of the grocery. Super easy to do, and much better tasting than what you would buy at the store. Ingredients: meat and bones (great way to use all those scraps from meals throughout the mon

Anyone who grew up or spent more than four days in West Virginia has heard of the pepperoni roll. Few people who live in West Virginia have never tried one. There are family rivalries over this food. Sounds silly, I know, but it's true. People fight over the proper version and where it originated. My friend Candace is a food critique and West Virginia native. After writing about the pepperoni roll from around Appalachia, she was approached to write a book about the history. S

Here's a look back at a recipe I did almost four years ago. The video may be dated, but this recipe never disappoints. When I decided to make a blog entry for this video, I noticed I didn't have a My Fitness Pal (MFP) entry for it. After adding it into the recipe builder, I noticed the macros are marginally different than what I have in the video. This is likely due to a different brand of ingredient used 4 years ago versus what I added to the MFP recipe builder. I added this

We've all been there. You're craving a burger, but you don't want to wrap it in lettuce or put it on a bed of lettuce because let's be honest with ourselves, that second one is just a salad. Lucky for you, there's a lot of different bun recipes out there. This one uses almond and coconut flour and is one of my favorites. It's filling, doesn't taste like eggs, and best of all doesn't stick to your fingers or feel greasy. Oh, and did I mention that these buns actually stay toge

Growing up my grandma used to make this delicious spinach and potato soup. My first winter on keto, I craved this soup. So, I called my grandma, and we worked out a version of her recipe that was low carb, filling, and scrumptious. This recipe is easy to make and is an excellent way to get in all the fats you need for keto. This soup is 49% fat, 2% total carbs (only 3 net carbs), and 6% protein. It also keeps well and is perfect for lunches or dinner on the go. Make a batch o

A couple weeks ago Josh and I spent a weekend in New Jersey visiting friends and playing board games (Side note: if you haven't played Captain Sonar - you are missing out!). By the time we got back to Boston Sunday night, we didn't really have time to meal prep. So ... like any normal person, we threw a bunch of stuff that "sounded good" (Josh hates when I do that) into a crock pot and hoped for the best. We woke up in the morning to an apartment filled with a delicious mushr
