I always hesitate to try out fancy new keto recipes because I hate to waste expensive ingredients on something that might be a total flop – or completely inedible…

I’ve seen a few recipes for Cauliflower “Mac” n Cheese but this one looks out of this world.

Any bar IMO with the buzz words “energy” “power” “boost” “super” etc, etc, is just a sugar-loaded profit maker for the manufacturer.

Be the sugar from chopped dried fruit or sucrose. The slight of hand is that we can only get energy from carbs. This is false. Humans are a duel-fuel animal we can run on fat or carbs.

I make a paleo style nut crunch. Sunflower-seeds, pumpkin seeds, poppy seeds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, bashed up nuts (brazil,macadamias,pecan,hazelnuts,cashew etc) stir in 100% organic cocoa, maybe a couple of squares or 90% dark chocolate all mixed up. Then pour over a tablespoon of coconut oil and a tablespoon of grass-fed butter melt these and then stir in to the mixture. Put it all into a dish and pop into the fridge. It comes out like a bar, is crunchy and delicious.

If you want the sweet you can stir in some organic honey too, or add chopped dates, go easy on these though.

I try and keep as low as possible on the carb side.

Nothing will be as good as what you can make yourself.

And its so easy.

Knock Off Benihana/Hibachi soup!

I LOVE Benihana and my boyfriend and I were going to go last night but it didn’t work out, so I made this for lunch today (via a recipe I found on Pinterest) to settle my craving! It’s obviously not the real thing but it’s delicious, quick, and easy!

1 can Campbell’s chicken or vegetable broth 1 tbsp French’s fried onions 2 very thinly sliced baby portabellas Dash of onion powder Dash of garlic powder Salt

Throw it all in a bowl, microwave for 2 minutes, and eat it up! And if you want more fat, you can also make your own chicken broth to use

LOVED IT!

So….funnel cakes can be Keto too

A bunch of people on the Facebook Reddit Keto Diet page were passing this recipe around. The pictures looked so amazing that I finally caved in and ordered protein powder just so I could try it

I would link the recipe but I am not really sure where it came from so here it is in all its glory

½ cup softened butter 1 egg 1/3 cup protein powder (I used vanilla zero carb Isopure) ½ teaspoon vanilla 1 tablespoon splenda

Keto LC Meatball Parm

Meatballs

1.5 lbs ground beef ½ cup almond flour ¾ cup Parmesan cheese 2 eggs Lots of Italian seasonings

Combine all ingredients and form about 15 meat balls.

Brown with bacon grease or oil in cast iron to get crispy or cook on oven to get soft texture.

When meatballs are cooked pour tomato sauce over meatballs in pan and cover with mozzarella cheese.

350 degree oven for 25 minutes

Let cool.

Low carb keto tamales for Christmas Eve dinner…And then leftover tamales with fried eggs for Christmas breakfast

I love it when a keto recipe turns out pretty much like the real thing. Everyone thought these were great, even the carb eaters

I only followed the recipe for the Masa. I stuffed mine with carnitas, green enchilada sauce and shredded cheddar jack.

Tamales!!!

Whip by hand or mixer until peaks are stiff.

Move to freezer safe container and add 2 tablespoons unsweetened cacao nibs.

This will be a repeat meal for sure…

Started with this recipe, from ruled.me but I used baked and diced chicken breast and omitted the jalapenos because I can’t deal with the heat level of those ( and yes, even with the seeds out. I always end up with a super spicy one that ruins my entire meal)
