For almost 11 months now I have been mastering meals on the grill.  I thought maybe you'd like to know my tips and tricks for preparing for the entire family on the grill with an occasion microwave moment.   This meal was the first one I finally documented but I would love to share more in the future.  It's easy, the chicken is Keto friendly, the meal as a whole is super healthy and you're going to love it.  Please excuse my amateur pictures... hope you enjoy.

Meal Prep Idea: Mini Pizzas

Keto Meal Prep Idea For Mini Pizzas Low Carb
I'm not reinventing the "fat head bread" wheel here.  I'm just tickled to death that I have found another solution for meal prepping.  I did use a technique or two you'll appreciate when making these little crusts but seriously I'm more excited that I can make these little guys up and pack them away for my husbands lunch everyday.  He works out in the field all day for his job and may not even have access to a microwave.  He has a simple trick to warming his food if needed but even cold pizza is good pizza.  Get ready, we are going to meal prep some deliciously, amazing little lunches.

Keto Mock Potatoes Au Gratin Low Carb and Delicious

Being fairly knew to the keto | low carb way of eating I have found myself on a mission to recreate dishes that are like the ones I used to enjoy but within my carb limits. This was one of those dishes I enjoyed on special occasions, like Thanksgiving or Easter dinners.  However, as part of the challenge of this way of eating, I have been looking for ways of cooking to replace the old favorites with new flavors.  This dish did not disappoint.

Mock of Disneyland's Potato Soup Keto Friendly and Low Carb
Sometimes you just need something that is going to be yummy and satisfy your potato craving while getting in a hefty amount of fat in your diet with very few carbs.  I was a huge skeptic in using turnips or radishes as a potato alternative.  I'm so glad I didn't back down and you will be completely satisfied as well.  I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did putting it together for you.

Keto Breakfast Frittata Low Carb Family Meal Recipe
I always feel the need to cook my husband a hardy breakfast on the mornings he gets to be home with us.  For this meal I pulled out my largest, deepest cast iron skillet and made one of our favorite meals.  I love to top this one with softened cream cheese just before I eat my own slice.  It's delicious and filling.

This is an excellent way to use up extra chicken.  We always have a rotisserie chicken during the week for a quick meal, or I buy the pulled rotisserie meat from Costco.  Either way, we always have left over chicken and it ends up being perfect for soups during the week.  I'm always experimenting with soups and I love the creamy ones best.  My kids love soup too so they are always a hit.  I hope you enjoy this one as much as we did.

I am on a mission to create some insanely good breakfast food for my family and this one right here made the list of INSANELY DELICIOUS.  I was a tad excited yesterday when it came out of the oven and hit their plates.  Even the babies enjoyed their portion.  This can also be prepared the night before and baked in the morning if you want to save time before school or church.  I hope you enjoy making it as much as I enjoyed.  It is such a privilege and honor to be able to serve my family in such a simple way.  Enjoy!

Slow Cooker Italian Beef Pot Roast keto | low carb
It had been a long while since I have cooked roast beef.  I found a great deal on a piece of meat that was ample size for our large family.  I really should cook this more often, as my kids absolutely loved it and we had left overs for next days sandwiches.  It is full of favorite and super easy to make.  It put it in the crock pot after the kids went off to school and by dinner we had a feast with a side of buttery green beans and the kids enjoyed some small seasoned potatoes. I truly hope you enjoy this simple and easy recipe with your family as well.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake keto | low carb | sugar free
Sometimes it's simply nice to have a treat.  Occasionally, I'll see a recipe pop up on my social media and wish so badly it was keto friendly or at least low carb.  I do my best to take the ones that look the most delicious and try to make it exactly what I need it to be.  Playing around with different ingredients can be fun but when it turns out fabulous, that's when I really get excited.

I love making brisket for the family.  Not only is it delicious and hearty, but the leftovers are perfect in my husbands lunch box the next day.  Here's a few tips for picking out a good piece of meat.The fattier the cut of meat, the juicier this will be.  Make sure to choose an inexpensive cut of meat. I usually look for second cut.  For brisket, do NOT chose a first cut or top of the rib as they are took lean.

Apple Almond Muffin Low Carb | Keto Friendly
I don't know about my other Keto friends but I have been MISSING APPLES.  So, I needed to come up with a recipe that would give me a taste without all the carbs.  I was also wanting to taste something sweet.  I haven't really  had cravings for sweet but a treat every now and then is nice to have but if the recipe is tasty there goes the need to feel as though you should "cheat".  That's my philosophy anyway.  I'm not "deprived".  I am satisfied.
