Keto Recipes, Reviews, and Tips
So maybe you just read the title of this post, or you’ve seen a picture of these babies on my Instagram, and you’re thinking, “Hey, I like chocolate. I’ll try these out.” Well, I feel like I need to be upfront about something before I share this recipe. These aren’t your ordinary, average chocolate brownie. These aren’t even your standard chocolate […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

I love Asian food. Chinese, Thai, Indian, Japanese, you name it and I’m all for it. Cauliflower, on the other hand, I’m not such a huge fan of. I mean, it’s okay…but growing up, it was always my least favorite ingredient in those vegetable medleys. So when I started keto, I had a choice to make: learn to love cauliflower, or […]
