Well, it’s still Lent, and I’m still eating meatless meals every Friday. But with everything going on in the world, I thought it was time to break our veg-and-pescatarian focus and give you guys a recipe that’s sure to bring a little happiness into your family’s quarantined life. I picked this cake- which is a […]
Baked Caulimac and Cheese
Y’all know I’m southern. If there is one staple comfort food that a southerner must have that isn’t a grit, it’s baked macaroni and cheese. It is 100%, hands-down considered a savory delicacy in southern culture… and the macaroni part is totally out on keto. Never fear! With the use of cauliflower as an all-purpose, […]
Eggplant Parmesan
This Friday’s Lenten offering is a bit of an Italian-American treat. My husband is a quarter Italian, and he loves it when I ketofy his favorites, so he was quite excited when I whipped these babies up. Eggplant Parmesan is typically battered and fried, then smothered in sauce and cheese. With my triple-step breading process, […]
Parmesan-Crusted Fish Taco Salad
It’s Lent once again, and that means lots of vegetarian and pescatarian meals in the Pagano abode. My first low carb Lent offering this year is a very tasty, Cajun-seasoned, Parmesan-crusted fish, served over coleslaw mix with a creamy lime and garlic dressing. Fish tacos are a pretty big thing right now; they usually consist […]
Cajun Shrimp with Cheesy Garlic Caulirice
It’s Good Friday, and this fantastic take on Cajun-style shrimp and grits is the last of my Lenten Friday offerings for this season. I don’t dare to actually call it grits, or even faux-grits, mainly because much as I enjoy caulirice, as I’ve mentioned before it’s really just not the same as grits at […]
Lenten Fish Fry
As some of you may know, I’m a very observant Catholic. Since the season of Lent is now upon us, my family and I are obligated to abstain from meat on every Friday for the next forty days. I’m going to take this opportunity to stretch my culinary muscles a bit. During this time of […]
Tarte à l’Oignon
This is such a delightful dish! Tarte à l’Oignon, or onion pie, comes from the Alsace region of France, and it’s pure country food. Traditionally, it is a pastry crust filled with a milky egg mixture, cooked bacon, and lots and lots of onions. Like, five or more. The huge ones. While it might seem […]
Haricots Verts Amandine
My children and I have been learning French for a good two years now as part of our homeschooling adventures, and this year in geography we have been studying Europe as a continent. What a perfect time to try out some fancy French dishes! Haricots verts en français means green beans (vert is green, so […]
Smoky Faux-tato Soup
Here’s another Lenten offering, and it’s vegetarian friendly! This soup is so full of flavor, it’s a huge hit in my house, both in and outside of the penitential season. My daughter especially loves it, and has been known to have multiple bowls in a sitting. She’s single-handedly polished off all our leftovers on more […]
Hot Buttered Booze
This beverage, my friends, is quite the holiday delight. It’s hot and steamy, spicy and creamy, and spiked with a good shot of your favorite liquor. Hot Buttered Booze is a low-carb and keto friendly way for the exhausted persons (especially parents!) to settle in on Christmas night- after all the presents have been opened, […]
Pecan Pie
Here it is, y’all. The pièce de résistance! Ketofied pecan pie. Yes, I did that. It came to me one day as I was strolling through my local grocer and stumbled upon this beautiful new product: liquid Allulose. As I’m standing there in the baking aisle, looking at this little bottle of joy, it occurred […]
Hint o’Mint Truffles
These soft, ganache truffles made it about 24-hours in my house. That’s how quickly my children managed to devour them. They’re super creamy, with a peppermint flavor that is distinct but not overwhelming at all. The flavor balance between the sweet white chocolate, mint, and slightly bitter dark cocoa powder on the outside is complex […]
