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 […]
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 […]
Marmie’s Pumpkin Pudding
My mom makes an awesome pumpkin pie. It’s my favorite, in fact. Mama, also known by my children as Marmie, came up with her pie recipe after having Thanksgiving one year with my aunt’s in-laws in Pennsylvania. She has always said it was the best pumpkin pie she’d ever had. Their family recipe was a […]
On Macros
I wanted to pop in to make a brief(ish) statement on recipe macros: namely, why I include them, and what it all means. Most people are used to seeing macros and a suggested number of servings listed for each recipe across the ketosphere, and thus including them is pretty much in-line with what others do. […]
How to Sous Vide Cook Your Perfect Steak
If you are a member of the Facebook group, you might have gathered that sous vide is my absolute favorite way to cook my meat, and most especially steaks. I used to hate steak with the fiery heat of a thousand suns, but my meat eating life was changed once I finally tried this method. […]
Measuring Your Ingredients: Volume versus Weight
It’s happened to many of us: You find an awesome keto recipe you want to try, you print it out, gather up all the ingredients, start looking at the instructions, and…. wait, what?! What the heck is this grams nonsense? What are they even asking for? Ah, yes. You’ve entered the dreaded Metric Zone. You […]
