Y’all. This here is classic comfort food at its finest! With a warm and savory filling, and a sturdy herbed crust, Chicken Pot Pie is something pretty much everyone loves, and for good reason. It’s hot, filling, and delicious, and isn’t that what everyone is looking for during the winter? Of course it is! This […]
Roasted Garlic Caulimash
Cauliflower is pretty much the best stand-in for potato when it comes to mashed varieties, and this recipe is no different. As long as you have a good blender or food prcoessor, making caulimash is a breeze, so it’s really mostly a matter of how you want to dress it all up. My daughter is […]
Chicken and Dumplings
I love chicken and dumplings. I especially love them when it’s cold, and man, has it been cold this year! The biggest problem I’ve had with most keto versions of chicken and dumplings I’ve seen is that the dumplings are too big and round. This is probably just a cultural culinary difference, but the dumplings […]
Baked Salted Caramel Soufflé Pancake
In Japan, there is a bit of a trend in the culinary community called Fuwa Fuwa, which means “fluffy fluffy.” Essentially, they make really, really tall pancakes (think in inches) that are puffy, only lightly sweet, and frankly, very eggy. The official name of this pop culture dish is Soufflé Pancakes; just like a soufflé, […]
Salted Caramel Pie Crust
Pie crust that stretches is one of those things we ketonians have put away as part of our past lives. We are resigned to always and forever have a graham-style crumble crust, because that’s all there is, folks. Or is it? Enter Tom Naughton and his crew. Mad props to our friends over at Fathead […]
Gumbo a la Florida
Gumbo is one of those keto Holy Grail recipes. Not because it’s particularly hard to swap out for rice or to thicken. It’s all because of the roux. There is no real way to make a roux on keto. I know that’s disappointing for some, and there are those who have tried to make one […]
Cheesy Cracklin’ Cornbread
Ahhhh, cornbread. It’s a staple down here in the Southern United States. Funnily enough, even though it’s fairly popular across the whole of America, in my considered opinion, what most people outside of the South think of as cornbread simply isn’t. If you think of that sweet stuff that comes from the little blue-and-white box […]
Mocha Martini
The holidays are coming, and that definitely means there will be parties. With parties, comes drinking. And with drinking comes all kinds of crazy, sugary concoctions that taste fabulous, but are most definitely not keto friendly. I’ve never been a big drinker, but when I do imbibe I’ve always been more partial to the frou-frou […]
Bacon and Brussels
The first time I ever tried Brussels Sprouts, they were just plain and steamed. Let’s say, I was not a fan. Steamed and un-doctored Brussels taste, to me, like something out of a dumpster. The best description I can think of is a cross between rotten broccoli and moldy cabbage. And then I learned how […]
Savory Cheddar Muffins
A little trick I’ve learned when it comes to keto baking is that protein powders can provide some structure that nut flours can’t provide on their own. The problem with that, is many people don’t tolerate protein powders well. Whey tends to be pretty insulinogenic, meaning your insulin response might be a lot higher than […]
Cranberry Fluff
My dad’s side of the family has always made this stuff called Jello Salad. It’s basically Jello that you mix with Cool Whip, usually some cottage cheese or sour cream, fruit or nut/coconut pieces mixed in, and marshmallows. There were always marshmallows. I grew up eating that sugary mess and, while I will freely admit […]
Rich and Creamy Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Prior to her ignominious fall from grace, I was a pretty big fan of Paula Deen. In fact, it was watching her cook on the Food Network that drew me into the world of self-education in the culinary arts. Here was this woman who was famous and beloved for her food, and she didn’t have […]
