I've tried a few muffins over the last few years....They were good, but always gritty and wet or eggy. As I play with lupin flour more and more, I am learning that it really enhances the texture of keto baked good. It also seems to make baked goods more solid, they don't crumble and fall...

Lupin Flour Pancakes
I have tried about 30 different keto pancakes and waffles... I finally found "The One". These are amazing and the closest thing to non-keto tasting I have found. They are not gritty, eggy, flat or just weird. Add berries, nuts or chocolate chips or swap the butter for peanut butter. Change them up just like... Continue Reading →
Lomo Saltado
On vacation this year I ate at my first Peruvian restaurant and had this wonderful dish called Lomo Saltado, it’s like stir fried fajitas and it’s tossed with french fries and served with rice. It was amazing and seemed mostly keto friendly except for the fries and side of rice. The rice is easy since... Continue Reading →

Spaghetti (Meat) Sauce
I love spaghetti and am perfectly happy to use zoodles as my pasta replacement, but I needed a sauce. Here is what I have come up with. You could leave out the beef broth, but I found it cuts the carbs from the tomatoes and creates a rich flavor without diluting the traditional taste. This... Continue Reading →
Pumpkin Pie Custard
I love pumpkin pie, year round. Before keto, I would make extras and eat slices for breakfast too. It's eggs and vegetables, right?….like an omelet (kidding). There are lots of recipes out there for keto friendly crusts and you could make this in a crust, or make it in ramekins and eat it as a... Continue Reading →
Ultra Filtered Milk and Yogurt
I love yogurt, for breakfast, for dessert or for snacks….It’s good stuff and good for you. Milk itself is high carb, which means yogurt is also pretty high carb, especially if it’s sweetened or flavored. Greek yogurt can be lower carb, but still high enough that it becomes a once in a while treat. Yogurt... Continue Reading →
Ingredient Swaps and Substitutions
Sometimes we need an ingredient that we are out of or need a keto replacement for a commonly used item. These should help. Buttermilk - Milk and lemon juice/white vinegar replace buttermilk in most recipes. I use Fairlife milk which is perfectly ok to use and add lemon juice/vinegar to it. You could also use...

Fats – The good ones and why you should eat them.
Typical keto is a low carb – high fat diet, but it can also be done with high protein and moderate fats. Traditional keto is 5c/25p/70f, which is fine for some…I prefer higher protein 5c/35p/60f. Carb Manager has a setting for this or you could use the Ketogains Calculator to find your macros. There are so many... Continue Reading →
Pizza Options
Pizza can be a simple family dinner or something pretty special. We don't have to miss out on it because we're keto. The best part is you can make each person their own pizza or they can make their own with the toppings they love. Almost anything can be made into a pizza, your favorite... Continue Reading →
