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...

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...

Holidays – Keto Style

Turkey is easy, just avoid sugar in any rubs or brines you choose to use. I, for one plan on making extra for leftovers. Ham can be slightly more carb heavy, but watch your ingredients and avoid honey or brown sugar, though if you add your own sweeteners at home, that's fine Prime rib or...

Party Foods

Football season, summer cookouts, holiday parties, birthday parties or just family game night. You could throw an amazing party that's completely keto with these recipes. You could make a couple of these to take to a gathering to guarantee that you have keto food available. Everyone will love them, so make plenty. I usually also...

Lunches – Hot & Cold

Lunches seem to be difficult for people on the go. Some people don't have a way to heat things up, or they need to eat in the car, Some need fast food or have business lunches. A little meal prep on the weekends can make the work days easier. There really are so many options,...

Quick, simple, easy, grab & go

The easiest way to stay on track is to be prepared for every moment. Hunger can sneak up on you, things happen to derail your dinner plans or you just have the munchies….If you are prepared, you will always be fine. I keep some of these items in my car, at my desk at work,...

Keto Camping

This topic has been coming up a lot, so here we go. There are lots of ways to camp…tent, RV, cabin, with a “kitchen” of some sort, over an open fire, or some combination in between. I am a big supporter of pre-making foods or making mixes in baggies, jars or tupperware to go. Measure...
