Everyone wants snack recipes, so I’ve got one for you. I came up with this after a very kind gentleman in our Facebook group suggested that a ketofied trail mix would be ideal to take on a camping trip. He was right, of course, and so this recipe was born. This recipe is insanely easy […]
Creamy Cuke and Onion Salad
I love cucumber salad. My favorite way to eat it is marinated in water and white vinegar, but recently I decided to change things up a bit and make some creamy dressing instead. It was a nice twist on an old classic, and my family gobbled it up. Feel free to swap out the dill […]
Smothered Pork Chops
At my local Aldi, those thin-sliced pork chops are always on sale, and I almost never buy them because, well, they’re a pain to cook. There isn’t a lot of meat happening on each one, so while the package may look large, it probably only divvies up into four or five servings. And then there […]
Keto Whipped Topping
Whipped Topping (or, as most of us know it, Cool Whip) is a very popular ingredient, and for good reason! It stands in for whipped heavy cream but is super stable, meaning it doesn’t ever get weepy and lose its air like real whipped cream can over time, with a pretty long shelf-life to boot. […]
Refrigerator Salad
This is probably my favorite kind of side dish. Anything I can dump into a container and let stand in the fridge until I’m ready to eat it, is ideal. The best part of a refrigerator salad is that it gets better the longer it chills and the more time the flavors have a chance […]
Southern Green Beans
It’s no secret that I’m a born-and-bred Southerner. My whole family (both sides) hails from North Florida, and I’m from a long line of that very rare species known as the “Native Floridian” (people who were actually born here versus transplanted from elsewhere). I realize a lot of folks don’t consider Florida to be part […]
Slow Cooker Cola Roast with Gravy
Roast with gravy is a dish that brings me back to my childhood. Those were the days I spent every weekend with my Granny and Grandpa, swimming in their pool, playing with cousins, climbing trees, and eating good, old-fashioned food. Granny made a mean roast, and pairing it with gravy (usually served over rice) made […]
Arroz con Pollo
My home state of Florida has quite the vibrant community of Cuban ex-pats. Miami, for example, is a haven of Cuban peoples and culture, and there are enclaves of refugees and their families in ever major city across the state. With people and culture in place, food traditions inevitably follow, and so Cuban restaurants and […]
Chicken Pot Pie
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 […]
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 […]
