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.

What’s so great about these Keto crockpot recipes?
  • There’s no cooking required ahead of time so they’re super easy to make.  Simply combine the ingredients in plastic freezer bags and freeze for up to three months.
  • They cook for the first time out of the freezer and don’t taste like leftovers at all.  Yay!
  • You can save money by buying the ingredients in bulk.
If you’re looking for a shortcut on the Keto diet, you’re going to love these recipes because everything is made in your CROCKPOT.  The recipes are delicious and basically fool-proof.  I’ve made thousands of crockpot freezer meals myself, so I know you’re going to love these recipes.
The only thing that I want to stress is that you’ll need to make sure each recipe fits your macros. I tried to only include recipes that are higher in fat and protein and low in carbs, but it’s your call if they’re right for you.

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.

Taco Tuesday is no joke in my house. For years I have been perfecting my taco-making craft. When we started a ketogenic diet we just eliminated the carb loaded chips and tortillas. I have felt like I was missing something. Something crunchy and textured. So, after much research and Pinterest-ing I have decided to go with taco bowls. It's easy and if you're new to a keto or low carb way of eating you'll find this to be satisfying as well.

Keto Swiss Chard Au'Gratin

Serves 6
This gratin will convert those wary-of-green-vegetable eaters to greens lovers. A simple white sauce lightly coats Swiss chard leaves, and a topping of cheese seals the deal. For a different presentation, bake in individual gratin dishes or ramekins (seen above) rather than one large dish. Make up to a day ahead and keep in the fridge until ready to serve.

Keto Low Carb Chicken Enchilda Soup

Keto Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup Low Carb
I had a meaningful conversation Saturday with my neighbor about out health and family members health. I told her we've been doing this thing called keto and she said her doctor recommended a ketogenic diet for her as well.

​Low carb and a keto diet are similar but I believe the keto diet has helped us get fast results and feel better then any "diet" before. It's all about increase healthy fats to flush out bad fat and decreasing carbs to make your body use fat as your fuel tank. The protein intake doesn't even change that much from a standard diet. Just remember...increase healthy fats and decrease carbohydrates.
Being that we were just talking about this way of eating and I had a yummy soup in the crock pot I told her I'd send some over so she could taste why this doesn't feel like a diet at all. The food is rich and hearty. A little goes a long way.

Here is my recipe.

Well, because it doesn't look lemony and the hint of lemon is subtle it cuts the sweetness of the icing.
