Cheesy Thyme Waffles

Cheesy Thyme Waffles

Definitely not the prettiest dish of the bunch, but I just had to post this one. For me, while looks are quite important most of the time, taste reigns supreme at the end of the day. This dish hits the nail on the head when it comes to taste. Time to get our cheese on...waffle style! The distinct flavor of cauliflower is knocked down into a subtle flavor you can easily handle with the crisp, almost burnt cheese on the outside and the rich, creamy flavors on the inside. The thyme, garlic, and ...

Fresh Chicken and Bacon Patties

Fresh Chicken and Bacon Patties

This is a dish that you can whip up in a pinch with ingredients you already have. Chicken, bacon, eggs, cheese, and peppers are staples of a ketogenic diet. The taste of fresh bell peppers alongside smoky bacon will leave you looking forward to the leftovers! These chicken patties are the perfect savory recipe for a chicken, bacon, and ranch salad or placed inside one of my almond buns with lettuce and that sweet, sweet sriracha (also known as nectar of the gods). They're also versatile ...

So far, she's down 25 pounds since the New Year, but isn't stopping there. She wants everyone to know the great weight loss benefits of Keto. Here's Donna! Hi Craig, I was always a thin person. I could eat whatever I wanted and I didn't have any consequences for it. I was a carb junkie for 35 years. But then something happened. ...

Tracy Jumped Over the 50 Pound Hurdle!

Tracy Jumped Over the 50 Pound Hurdle!

Here's the story of Tracy, another very inspirational story that came across us at Ketogenic Living Facebook Group. Take it away Tracy - thank you for sharing! My name is Tracy Daubert, and I am a 23 year old Early Learning Educator. I can honestly say that I have always struggled with my weight, even in my early years. I remember trying to lose weight even as early as grade 6; I was constantly uncomfortable in my body and had very low self-esteem. That low self-esteem continued well into my ...

Kim’s 140 Pound Transformation

Kim’s 140 Pound Transformation

This is the story of Kim, one of the very inspirational stories that come across us at Ketogenic Living Facebook Group. Take it away Kim! I've been overweight my entire life.  I can remember "doing" the Atkins diet when I was 5 or 6 years old, back when it first came out in 1972, with my mom.  I spent my whole life either on a "diet", or all out binging.  I just never found a happy medium where I could maintain my weight loss and change my lifestyle. In November of 2012, I found out I was ...

Oof, it's been a while since I've written a recipe! My apologies guys - I've been doing a lot of work on the next cookbook. It should be out in a few more weeks, so keep an eye out (spoiler alert, tons of fusion recipes)! So, the last week I made some inside out buckeye cookies (converted from a non-keto recipe) at the request of on the the members in the Ketogenic Living Facebook group. She said if I could make them, she'd love me forever, so here's me ode to getting loved ...

Low Carb Chicken Satay

Low Carb Chicken Satay

As you all know, I love Asian inspired recipes...but most of the time they just take forever to prepare. I wanted to set out to get a soft peanut butter taste that paired well with the salty and umami flavors that soy brings to the table. I think this one hit the spot! It brings all the savory, sweet, and acidic element you look for in an asian dish - then adds some crunch and color on the top with peppers and onions. Start to finish in less than 20 minutes is not something you can bat ...

Cumin Sesame Lemon Mug Cake

Cumin Sesame Lemon Mug Cake

Cumin is one of my all-time favorite spices to use with meat, but without the meat portion it seems weird to use. I had to come up with something that could accent the earthy qualities needed for cumin, while still playing a role in the recipe. Sesame seeds definitely do the trick! If you missed out on the last savory mug cakes, check them out: Bacon, Cheddar & Chive Green Chile Cheddar Mug Cake Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Mug Cake To brighten the whole dish up, we add a ...
