Hey…yeah I am back. I have been gone a while. I thought I would come back with a bang! A Korean keto bang! And boy can it be a spicy bang! In starting keto all over again my goal is to move into a different type of keto food and asian food seems to have grabbed me hook, line, and sinker. There are so many keto asian foods already readily available. If you like kim chi, unlike myself, you already have a great side dish. I thought I would start a bit simple with my big comeback and give you...
When I started out doing keto, the first website and Youtube channel that I kept coming back to was Keto Connect. They have a great selection of simple recipes for people just starting out on keto and have great informative Youtube videos. I would definitely check them out. This recipe is adapted and adjusted from a Keto Connect High Fiber Muffin post they made a while back. It is also in their cookbook, which sold on Amazon. For them it was meant to be a breakfast muffin that was filling and delicious. I made it many many times but kept...
some affiliates links within post I have been making deviled eggs as my designated side dish for many different holidays since becoming keto. It is a great standard keto item, easily tracked, and everybody seems to enjoy deviled eggs. The hard part is that they are not always the easiest to make. I swear there is some sort of higher power that knows when deviled eggs are being made and make the shells impossible to peel. One trick that I have noticed seems to be helping recently is that right after you take the eggs off the heat and pour...
post may contain affiliate links Having risalamande or Danish rice pudding every Christmas was one of my favorite memories. I loved the taste of it and, as a kid, finding the almond before the rest of my family was probably the most competition I could handle. The funny part about it was that my cousins did not like it. I vividly remember my cousins trying to choke and gag it down and then they would still get the whole almond and get the prize. I would get so mad! YOU DIDN’T EVEN LIKE IT! When we were kids, the...
Trying to find gifts for somebody that has recently made a lifestyle change can be really difficult. You don’t want to give them something they won’t use or is not right for their way of eating. But you also don’t want to offend them with getting a diet related product that could hurt their feelings. There are so many fun options that you can give somebody that is on keto. There are fun and sassy shirts and there are products that can make life a lot easier. Be mindful when searching though that you are not inadvertently signing your friend...
I have seen a lot of keto jalapeño popper chicken roaming around Pinterest. This recipe stemmed from that, but I made some changes because I am not actually a fan of jalapeño poppers to begin with. Too much cream cheese in one bite for my liking. This is more like a casserole where the cream cheese jalapeño mixture is all mixed up with the chicken and ooooooh is it yummy. So creamy and rich with just a hint of spice. Most of the recipes I see the mixture is placed on the top of a whole chicken breast. I am not amazing at...
Doing keto for over a year, you think I would learn to not just buy everything that people post that is low carb. I end up with all these items that either take way too much work to end up using or I don’t have the rest of ingredients to use the item in a recipe. This happened when I purchased coconut cream and coconut milk in a can from Trader Joe’s. I kept reading of all these delicious desserts I could make by whipping it up into a mousse, but ain’t nobody got time for that! Then I bought...
If you are new to keto, you might not have discovered yet that the loss of having a crunchy snack can cause sleepless nights and tears in the corner. Or so I have heard… These keto crackers will definitely satisfy that need for crunch and keep you full at the same time all while keeping that digestive system cranking all day! My mom has been dabbling in the keto ocean lately and since she has celiac, she inherently is already making gluten free items. She is an amazing baker and she was working on a recipe for some crunchy seed...
Everybody loves hot chocolate, but on a keto way of life, regular hot chocolate is just not possible for me. The amount of sugar will give me a serious stomach ache the next day and not worth it for many. My daughter loves hot chocolate and I just look at her with severe jealously when she slurps down her own non-keto hot chocolate. I think she drinks it extra loud just to piss me off. This is a great snack to have at night if you feel you are a bit short on your fats for the day and want...
Karbonader is a traditional Danish dish that is very simple and easy to make. Growing up with a Danish mom, I ate lots of different Danish meals. My favorite is karbonader with boiled potatoes. I could eat that every day. It is a nice change from beef and chicken. I wasz always excited when my mom said she was making karbonader, which could not be said for some other Danish dishes….I am looking at you dansk bøf med løg (danish hamburger patties with onions & gravy). Originally the dish should be half pork and half veal, but I prefer...
Trying to make a regular recipe more Keto friendly is much easier than it seems. Most of the time the carbs that are part of casseroles are just for bulk. They are really just there to make the meal seem more substantial. When you are eating keto meals and that is the way of eating, you will find that the fat that is within the meal is much more filling and without the comatose feeling of those carb dense foods. This was a recipe that I had wanted to try for a while, but I wanted to make sure...
The idea of danish liver paste, or liver paste in general can leave some people with a feeling of yuck, but I promise you it is really delicious. Liver paste can also be called pate or braunschweiger, but in Danish it is leverpostej. Liver Paste is definitely an acquired taste and it took me 27 years before trying it. This is after my mom would make it every year for Christmas it would be eaten all winter. If that irony liver taste is what you are worried about, DON’T! It does not taste livery at all. It tastes like onions,...
