 Sometime, I just need a quick keto meal. I make this a couple of times a week for lunch. My husband loves it too as it keeps well in his lunchbox on job sites. It’s quick and easy and oh so satisfying.

 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.
 This recipe is so stupid simple and delicious you may want to make it several nights a week.
 My children have always loved meatloaf but they especially love it in smaller portions. When they were little they thought they were eating giant meat balls and that made them so cool. I mix a special topping that makes them extra delicious.
 Im always thinking about meals for my family that are quick and easy to prepare. My 5 children are not picky eaters but Momma better bring savory food to the table. This was one of those meals, that again, they all loved. I have two that especially loves broccoli.
I just wanted to share this easy meal idea. My family loves hamburgers and we could use low carb and kept bread but this is actually one of my favorite ways to serve a burger. I can layer toppings sky high with whatever my family wants.
 Are you ready for a breakfast treat? This recipe makes superior, smooth, custardy, silky egg bites. It takes about an hour total to make these but they are worth it. Makes 6 large muffin size servings.
 I needed to use up some avocados that were get a little too ripe for my taste. I also wanted something tasty to add to my arsenal of keto approved condiments and this recipe did not fail. So, this simple recipe did the trick.
 My Father-In-Law’s all time favorite cake is a cheesecake. Years ago I set out to make him the perfect one for his birthday. After many attempts I finally got it right. I have to admit, it’s probably my favorite cake too. Below is my recipe, adapted for a low carb | keto way of eating. I have to say, I can’t tell a difference.
 Sometimes dinner is just hard to put together. This is not one of those times. Taco Tuesday at our house doesn't always mean tacos. This Tuesday was no exception. I have been craving rice bowls and I decided it was time to change things up.

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.
 The first time I made 90 sec bread I was a bit disappointed in how flat it fell. It rose all fluffy and then once I popped it out of the microwave....pancake. I have been experimenting with the recipe ever since. I believe this little trick will change how I bake all things keto from now on.
 Along this keto way of eating journey there are so many things I have missed it wondered if I'd ever get to have again. So, ocasssionally on a wish and a prayer I get out my mixing bowl and start trying to recreate a family favorite. One of my favorites that I even shied away from when eating lean and clean was sausage balls. Who knew you could enjoy this family favorite and still lose weight?
 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.
 I had left over cubed chicken after making my Chick-Fil-A Style Nuggets and I've been dying to try another recipe, keto style.
 I typically make my famous grilled nuggets because they are healthier but since starting keto I have made some adjustments to ingredients and now we enjoy some of our favorite foods again. Here is my families new favorite dinner and it's just as food baked or fried.
 This is quite possibly the easiest, most delicious and flavorful meal I have made and I'm giving a quick credit to a piece of cookware I rarely use.
When starting a ketogenic diet or low carb way of eating it can be a challenge. You may find that you miss some of your old food favorites. Knowing that your favorites may be wreaking havoc on your body, you avoid them. This journey for me has been in the making for years and I have enjoyed finding alternatives to my favorite foods that are healthier and fit within my way of eating. Wither you are eating a ketogenic diet or simply cutting carbs, you will find this recipe to be simple, easy, and tastes amazing. Enjoy this little treat.
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.  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. 
Cauliflower has got to be the most versital of veggies I have ever seen. I serve up my fair share of zoodles but this veggie makes for excellent keto recipes. This one is simple. Ingredient List 1 head of Cauliflower 1 one onion sliced 10 cloves of fresh garlic 1 cup of baby carrots 1/4 cup olive oil 1 tbsp of butter parsley and basil salt and pepper 
My kids and I were craving something sweet on our first cook day in September. I found a similar recipe that definitely was not keto and adapted the recipe so that it would work for us and give us a little treat as we approach fall. Enjoy.
Lemon Surprise is my favorite flavor.
Well, because it doesn't look lemony and the hint of lemon is subtle it cuts the sweetness of the icing. Here's my recipe for lemon icing! --------- |
