These little guys have all the components of happiness: Bacon, Cream Cheese Frosting, Apple-Cinnamon-ness, Nuts, Caramel, it’s pretty awesome. I based it on a blueberry streusel muffin recipe from the popular blog “I Breathe, I’m Hungry.” You can check out the original HERE. Being more of an apple fan than blueberry, I have been craving…

Bruschetta Chicken with Spinach Stuffed Portobello
The recipe list on this looks pretty overwhelming, but the actual process is actually super quick and easy. Well, when I was slapping this little diddy together last night, it actually kinda felt like slacking. I really didn’t see it turning into a blog post (believe it or not, not ALL our recipes do). Once…
Chili Lime Shrimp: A Toddler’s Tale
I’m proud to announce that, finally, my little girl is old enough (and actually INTERESTED enough) to help mommy in the kitchen! … And by that, I mean you’ll begin to see a marked trend in our posts of more streamlined processes (read: more powdered spices and less knife chopping, since my 19 month old…
Stuffed Meatballs with Bacon and Parmesan Broccoli
Today, my husband, Steve, and I were pretty out of sorts. I woke up at about 5 am with a panic attack (you know how it is, worrying about things you legitimately can do NOTHING about) and felt off for the rest of the day. I was grumpy, which caused Steve to become grumpy. Then…
Chicken Pot Pie
One of my favorite winter and fall dishes in the non-keto world is Chicken Pot Pie. We have an amish market around here that makes STUNNING variations of this using these fantastic hand-rolled noodles, and that variety is one I have yet to keto-ize. But I did decide to keto-ize the more traditional, Marie Calendar’s…
Chicken Kiev with Braised Baby Bok Choy
I’ll be honest, this was not dinner last night. I’ve been slackin’ on posting on time. I don’t mean to, but I’ve been busy with Jute trying to get her back on track. So now, I’m trying to wake up early to pound out some of these recipes QUIETLY before the girls wake up! Oh,…
Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Mousse
My husband and I are confessed, lifelong chocoholics. When he was deciding whether or not to do the ketogenic diet with me, the deciding factor was that I would make him this mousse, and he could eat it for breakfast if he PROMISED to watch his serving sizes. I don’t know that he actually kept…
Spaghetti Squash Carbonara Tossed with Baby Arugala and Served with a Garlic “Bread” Bun
So I’m going to make this post short, because I’m legitimately EXHAUSTED. I had a long, drawn out day of cleaning and cooking and chasing a particularly peevish eighteen month old with a six month old strapped to my body. The struggle was real today, folks, and I was soooo happy I decided to make…
Fried Tomato Portabello Stacks
Last night was glorious. I’ve been itching to start experimenting with keto-friendly breading because fried foods have always been off-limits for me on more conventional diets I’ve been on in the past. Not that anyone out there in internet land over the age of 28 knows this feeling…. I noticed, last night, as I was…
Beef Tenderloin, Haricots Verts, and Baby Kale Stir-Fry in a Spicy Garlic-Lime Sauce
Before we started following the keto diet, we ordered Chinese food often…. Shamefully often. It was kind of like benzo-junkies in the 50’s would have multiple doctors so that no one could see how much of drugs they were using; we had multiple Chinese restaurants who would deliver to us so that none of them…
Chicken Cacciatore Lasagna
Back in the day, when mom and I subscribed to that low-fat, high protein life, one of our go-to recipes was chicken cacciatore. I still love it. And now that I’m on the ketogenic diet, it’s not that I CAN’T have it, I can, but I would have to have a small helping of it…
Smokey Chicken Spaghetti Squash Pancit
I have never been to the Philippines, or anywhere else in Asia for that matter, but from what I understand, it is home to a people after my own heart, because they looove them some noodles. In fact, the vermicelli traditionally used in pancit supposedly symbolizes long life and good health (See that?! These people have SYMBOLS…
