Keto Recipes, Reviews, and Tips
Is anyone else ever baffled by how many carbs you could eat in one sitting pre-keto? I shudder to think of how I would go to an Italian restaurant, chow down on some breadsticks, eat an appetizer of cheese sticks coated in breadcrumbs and dipped in a sugary marinara sauce, and then finish it all off with a pasta dish.

In my pre-keto attempts to cut calories, I used to be in love with these microwavable breakfast sandwiches. They weren’t fantastic tasting (the bread was distinctly cardboard-y), but they were pretty good, especially considering that they only took a few minutes to make. Well, I have to admit that this keto version of a breakfast sandwich takes a little longer to make…but it’s […]

When it comes to the dessert trifecta of cakes, cookies, and pies, I have to admit that cookies have always been my favorite. So much so, in fact, that I’m actually one of those people who have bought that huge 5-pound tub of chocolate chip cookie dough from Sam’s Club/Costco. More than once. I’m not proud of it, and have asked the bacon […]

Like millions of people, I have consistently counted pizza among my favorite foods. National chain pizza, local takeout pizza, homemade pizza, and yes, even frozen pizza (and pizza-like products). If it was bread topped with sauce, cheese, and pepperoni, I was all for it. As a native Chicagoan, it didn’t even have to be topped in that order. So while pepperoni […]

After simultaneously hitting the big milestones of six months of keto and 50 pounds lost, the scale has unexpectedly stalled over the past couple of weeks. I kept calm and ketoed on, of course, but I also decided to start working out again to hopefully sweat my way out of the slump. I’ve been inconsistent with it for the past […]

I think I have a much greater appreciation for dark chocolate since starting keto. I’ve always enjoyed it, but I never thought I could actually eat a whole bar…until now. This recipe lets me get my chocolate fix in, and the added fats from the peanut butter and heavy cream make it rich and satisfying enough that I don’t go […]

Ketoers everywhere can probably agree that foods like steak, almonds, bacon, and avocado are sensible (and tasty!) choices for LCHF eating. But when it comes to processed “frankenfoods” (like Quest Bars and low carb tortillas) or even homemade copycat treats (like my keto cinnamon roll pancakes) the consensus is a lot less clear. Some people view the desire for something […]

Surprisingly, pasta was one of the easier things for me to give up when I started keto. Pasta was cheap and filling (which are great qualities in food as a college student) but the pasta itself always seemed more like a neutral delivery vehicle for the meat and sauce that was the actually desirable part of the meal. Zucchini does that job just […]

I’ll be honest with you. After a few weeks of eating keto, I wasn’t really into breakfast anymore. I was getting bored of eating so many eggs and, even more than that, I found that on most days I just wasn’t hungry in the morning. Sure, on the weekends I might make a batch of waffles with a side of […]

So for a while now there’s been variations on the same keto pancake recipe floating around on the internet. I think the first place I saw some version of the “cream cheese and egg” pancake was on Melissa Sevigny’s lovely recipe blog, I Breathe I’m Hungry. And there’s a reason the recipe has so many fans: it’s simple, it’s quick, […]
