I love French Onion Soup, it’s my all time favorite. I do order it in restaurants, usually without the bread, but I never really know what’s in it...This isn’t a soup, but it has all the flavor of a good french onion soup though. I think I might play with it and see if I... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →

Chalupa (Taco) Shell or Fry Bread
Finding a good tortilla or taco shell on keto has been hard. I have made a bunch and they either don't taste good, or they are so fragile they can't hold my taco fillings. I use low carb tortilla on occasion, but would rather avoid the wheat where I can. These were easy, tasty and... Continue Reading →
Tomato Soup
I love tomato soup, especially over noodles. I had to come up with a keto friendly version. Tomatoes are high carbs and full of sugar, so cutting it with the chicken broth lessens the carbs per ounce and still allows the rich flavors to come through. This recipe is pure comfort food. Tomato Soup Ingredients:... Continue Reading →
