Long before keto entered our life, we ate the ubiquitous boneless, skinless chicken breast a lot. Probably (if I'm honest) more than I ever wanted to. But being relatively cheap and quick to cook made a bigger difference many nights than whether or not it actually tasted delicious. Since discovering keto over a year ago, slathering a bland and boring chicken breast with ...

12 Keto Friendly Family Meals
As a woman who has been following a ketogenic diet for a while now, I can tell you that as far as "diets" go I sincerely love it. Once you get through the first few days of sugar cravings and carb withdrawls, it really is a relatively easy diet to follow. There's no real measuring, counting or stressing out over portions. You just eat when you are hungry and make sure it's full ...
Low Carb Spinach Feta Greek Pie
Being low-carb while the rest of your family isn't can be...trying. It takes some fortitude to resist the pretty much constant temptation to eat all of the carby things. It also takes planning. As with any "diet", failing to plan = setting yourself up for failure. That's why I try my best to keep easy to eat things stocked in my fridge. Things like this Low Carb Spinach and ...
The Best Chocolate Chip Keto Brownies
I am trying for the second time in my life to get my butt back into ketosis. I fell off the wagon this past summer and now that school is back and harvest is over and life has returned to some kind of normal, I am doing my best to get back on my keto journey....and its hard. The hardest part is the sugar withdrawls in the beginning. Typically I am not a big sweets eater, ...
Low Carb Bratwurst & Provolone Stuffed Zucchini Boats
As usual, I have planted too many squash and zucchini plants in our garden. I do this partly because the squash bugs are inevitable and will most certainly come swooping in to kill any plant in the squash family before the season is over,and partly because I really love squash. The summer glut of zucchini and crooknecks is as looked forward to in my house as fresh ...

Grilled Lemon Garlic Butter Salmon Kebabs
Now that Spring has finally decided to show up, our grill is in full swing (and it goes great with dinner al fresco on the brand new deck!). Grilling season is something that we look forward to every year and since this season was a little late to start we are going gangbusters on it now. I’ll be honest, manning the grill isn’t my greatest skill. I can do it and I ...
Keto Low Carb Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
Ham can be an intimidating thing for some people. Not the cooking so much, cooking a ham is pretty straight forward. Even if all you do is take it out of the package and heat it up, it’s hard to mess up a ham. No, the intimidating thing is the sheer size of a ham and all of the leftovers that comes with it. The average person, with their one refrigerator takes a look at a 12 ...
Bacon Blue Cheese Deviled Eggs
There are three things that you will always find in my fridge; cheese, bacon and eggs. Especially eggs. My genius idea of having a flock of 17 hens means that there are no less than 8 dozen eggs in our fridge at this moment. I can’t eat them or give them away fast enough. I make quiche and crepes and pancakes constantly, anything that I can find to put a few eggs into. We have ...
Easy Salmon Pasta Primavera with a Keto Option
It seems that spring has arrived to our next of the woods, and although it’s a bit early, I’m not complaining. What I am complaining about is all the rain. Weeks and weeks of rain has turned my yard into a giant mud hole that desperately tries to suck the shoes off of your feet and threatens to send you flying through the air into a sloppy puddle. My house is covered in muddy ...

Easy Homemade Low Carb Beef Stroganoff Recipe
This post contains affiliate links for products that I highly recommend. The hard part of sticking to any diet (not just the Keto diet that I have been on for nearly 3 months now) is feeding the rest of your family who may not be joining your journey to a smaller pants size. Especially when kids are involved, working around everyone’s meal preferences can be a challenge. But ...
Low Carb Keto Salmon Croquettes with Creamy Remoulade Sauce
This post contains affiliate links. So, since going keto a few months ago I have been dying to have salmon patties. Seriously, my Southern roots show everytime I mention my love of any kind of canned seafood in hockey puck form. It's just something we Southerners LOVE.
