I have tried several different recipes to come up with Taco Seasoning. Some of have been close, and tasty, and some – not so much. After trying several I put together what I liked from all of them and adjusted where the directions were less than keto friendly. I don’t know about you, but I love taco’s and the store bought packages just aren’t conducive to this way of eating. If you like a bit

Inspired by: gnom-gnom.com Yes. You all are probably thinking that I am crazy for even boasting that this is the best recipe. But Really, it is that good! My husband and I liked it so much we immediately bought a tortilla press. We have made this many times and shared it with friends. So far, all good reviews. Another great option – fry them in lard! They crisp up beautifully. Just don’t

Missing that Creole flavor? A friend of ours was telling us about something his wife had made with ground sausage and shrimp. My imagination ran a bit wild and all i could think of was Gumbo and Gazpacho. Not really sure how I got to this spot in the thought process, but that’s the joy of creating different recipes!  I am not the best at naming different concoctions – so if you all think

My husband always talked about how much he liked pecan pie. He has been a real trooper and limits himself with things since I was diagnosed with diabetes. Now that we are both following keto Pecan Pie was a bit out of reach. These things, are very impressive! Very Very good. Sure to cause heartburn in those that get it from sweets! We did not use the full amount of sugar, and I'm really glad

This was an excellent recipe! I do have a couple notes that I would review prior to making this. It can help avoid some of the ‘odd’ taste of using Cloud Bread as a base. But it honestly is a fantastic recipe! And Keto friendly to boot!  Of course that all depends on what you put on your pizza! Let us know what you think!  The recipe came from All Day I Dream About Food

This was a quick little creation that sounded really good. I used to love jello powder in cottage cheese mixed with fruit, but that has far too many carbs than I care to even think about. These little things are great in a pinch and a fat bomb to boot! I've made them a couple times now and they are almost addicting! Whats great is you can make these in any flavor you choose!

Great Pizza Snacks to help curb those pizza cravings or just finger food or H'orderves for a get together.  These ended up being fairly easy to make and were quite tasty. These even lend themselves to being more creative by adding in some peppers, black olives, onions, maybe even some spinach and other items! The sky is the limit! What would you like on your pizza bites? For these ones I

 I honestly don't know how I survived before acquiring a stand mixer! There are several other brands out there, but nothing compares to a KitchenAid. There are a wide range of attachments that you can add to your mixer which makes it a platform you can build to meet your needs. I personally don't enjoy clutter on my kitchen counters so most everything has a home in a cabinet somewhere, but

This is quite the treat, tastes like your normal bars with an 'Almond Joy' twist. This little bit makes a surprising amount and will surely be a hit with guests!

These babies may not look all that appetizing (apart from the bacon!) but they are fantastic. I could eat 20 of them in a sitting if I was my pre-keto self. They are the "pringles" of snacks! Once you pop - you can't stop! You might know these by another name but I've always heard them called 'Grasshoppers'.  Bacon wrapped, cream cheese filled jalapeno poppers! They are extremely easy to

I have tried the pork rind puppy chow and it is surprisingly good. However, it does not keep very well and ends up turning the pork rinds a bit soggy/stale after a day or two. So I figured I'd try something a bit different. I've seen others use a blend of nuts, so here is mine :)  I hope you enjoy it!

Mr. Junkie was thinking some sort of casserole sounded good for supper today. So - I ventured to the interwebs for inspiration.  This is typically what I do to get ideas. Google 'keto Casserole' set it to 'Image Search' and out pops ideas on what to throw together. This one turned out better than expected. I often avoid putting cream cheese in anything as I personally feel it makes

I love crunchy pizza crusts. Much like what a tombstone pizza or jacks pizza would result in. I have been working on making something that is more similar. While this doesn’t quite hit the mark, I feel it is close. It does have a crunchy outer crust to it.  Take it for a test run! Let me know what you think! I will be continuing my ventures to find the perfect “Tombstone” style crust,

I haven’t had Malt-O-Meal or Cream of Wheat in over 7 years since being diagnosed diabetic. I found a recipe that called for defatted almond flour and was not about to invest in even more ingredients that cost more or had fewer uses or anything else that I had to order. (I’m lazy and cheap like that.)  So I played around with the idea of that recipe and came up with this recipe.

Yes, This is a common recipe with a lot of controversial views. I am actually one of those people that HATE mashed cauliflower. But I watched a few videos on what everyone does to make theirs and figured I’d try it again. It honestly did not turn out bad this time.

Our trusty old food processor recently went to its grave. To be honest, we rarely used it because it didn't work well and was loud beyond the point of obnoxiousness to being downright painful. The plastic was discolored from too many trips through our dish-washer and the bearings were also shot. Mr. Recipe Junkie and I spent a lot of time looking at food processor reviews on other blogs and on

Mr. Junkie was talking about Jagerschnitzel a while back and I’m a sucker for anything breaded and fried. This turned out pretty great! A nice crunchy breading that doesnt fall apart! We used Pork Steaks on ours, but you are welcome to use any meat you would like. Jägerschnitzel means “hunter’s cutlets” in German, and the dish was originally made with venison or wild boar backstrap,

I am all about options and when it comes to salads, that certainly does not change. Ranch dressing is easy to grab from the store, but some of the other types of dressing get a little trickier. Here is a great recipe for French Dressing.  I had whipped this together a while back and loved it! Completely forgot to write down what I was throwing into the blender. I can't say for sure that

Missing some great cocktail sauce? I'm sure this would be even better with home made ketchup, however, I only have so much ambition! This stuff turned out fantastic and works in a pinch if you don't feel like running to the store for a low carb version of this that you may have found. ( I honestly have never looked at what store bought is. I have learned that on a Keto diet, home made always

Many of us coffee fanatics loved Starbucks or all the other fancy coffees before transitioning to this way of life. If not every day it may have been more as a special treat. I don't trust what I can't see and will no longer go to fancy coffee shops for any 'treat' coffee. Too many times has something been requested as 'sugar free' and it hasn't been made this way, or there were hidden sugars

My sister had made this recipe for Thanksgiving a few years back. I admit, as much as I should have avoided it, I am glad I tried the high-carb treat. It was fantastic! The original (high-carb) version of this used gingersnap cookies for the crust. That of course, is not an option when sticking with Keto, So I worked some magic using various recipes and came up with this crust substitute.

This one has always been a family favorite. Often served with rice, which can easily be replaced with cauli-rice or in this case, shredded cabbage.  It has an earthy taste the quickly becomes something you would crave for comfort food. We usually made this in a crock pot, however, this time, we made it in the Instant Pot and it turned out GREAT with a fraction of the time. Ingredients:

This one I threw together. I was thinking how much I missed the cheddar broccoli wild rice. Normally I’m not a fan of cauliflower as a substitute for anything other than cauliflower. I figured this one wouldn’t be so bad since cauliflower and broccoli and cheese go really well together. I whipped this up and it turned out fairly decent. I know the hubby sure enjoyed it!

It is easy to make a basic ginger sauce for Chinese food, but sometimes you need to change it up a bit. I loved Sesame Beef when I wasn't Keto. I haven't mastered making a crunchy thin beef flanks yet to go with the sauce, but this turned out well enough that it worked for the medley we put together.  The recipe is for the sauce only.
