Tired of the same old eggs??

I see a lot of people looking for eggless breakfasts because they are tired of eggs. Some of these recipes do contain eggs, and some are mostly egg, just changed up so much you won’t even notice that you are eating eggs. Yogurt - I like YQ by Yoplait (plain) but it has become impossible...

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...

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...

Pickles or Pickle Juice

Pickles and pickle juice are popular while doing keto, mostly because the salt helps balance our electrolytes, but also because most people really like pickles. You can make your own pickles or pickle juice in minutes. You can make any refrigerator pickle recipe and just swap the sugar for sweetener (if needed). Most recipes start...

Beer Bread

I always liked beer bread pre-keto, I didn't think I would ever be making it again....surprise, surprise. There are lots of low carb beers out there, but there is only 1/2 a cup in beer so the carbs will be low anyway, so I just used my husbands local craft beer. I have a new...

Side Dish Ideas

Not all side dishes require recipes, but since keto takes away some of the basic side dish options, I though a list of ideas would be helpful. Vegetables - Fresh, frozen or canned.... Fresh vegetable plate with dipSeasonal vegetables – grilled or roasted. Bok choy, zucchini, onions, cabbageGreen beans – Plain or add some butter...

Make ahead – Meal prep

Sometime the key to success with keto is having something to grab when you need it. Meal prepping and ready to go foods can help. I don't personally pre-make my meals (lots of people do though) I don't know what I want to eat an hour from now, let alone a week from now. Mostly...

90 second bread

There are quite a few different recipes out there for 90 second bread. Here are a couple basics. You can season or spice them up however you want to fit your menu, sweet or savory. The KEY to it all, to make it resemble bread, or toast is to fry it in a skillet after...

"Potato" Salad

Summer is here and I miss potato salad. I decided if I can make mashed cauliflower work so well, I can make a “potato” salad too. You can use your favorite potato salad recipe and just swap out the potatoes for cauliflower…Here is mine. “Potato” Salad Ingredients: 1 head of cauliflower or 3 cups of...
