If you’ve followed me over these keto years, you know that I’ve been preaching against wheat bread for a while now. It made me fat. It made Mark’s blood sugar go up. So we gave it up. When we first went keto, I tried every keto bread recipe I...
I loved this dish. Actually, I’ve never had the carb-version of rice balls, but they sounded good; and I figured we keto peeps can make cauliflower work in almost everything, so I gave it a go. Success! Here are the instructions: Microwave one package of green giant riced cauliflower...
I’m more of a soft cookie fan, but Mark likes the crisp, flat cookies better. And you might know that “crisp” is a texture that’s not exactly easy to obtain with nut flours. Our friend Ben, aka as benlowcarb on Facebook, shared this recipe along with his tips...
We’re in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. We’re all home as much as possible and doing the best we can to help keep the rate of infection down. It’s more important than ever to take care of ourselves now. When we eat real food that fuels our bodies,...

Chayote are cute little green squash that show up in the fall at our local Wal-Mart and with a little effort, it’s entirely possible to have a very nice keto-style “apple” crumble for the fall season! This dessert runs about 12 carbs per serving by my count, excluding the...
The little mini dash waffle makers are all the rage in the keto facebook groups these day. They’re cute, they make the perfect bun size, and the varieties are endless! I have to confess that I made a big mess with such a little machine the first time I...
This is an excerpt from a bi-monthly email that I send out after our local meetings. If you’d like to get those emails directly, you can sign up at the bottom of this post. No spamming and I don’t share your address with anyone else. So nice to see...
I’ve been on an ice cream kick lately. I found Rebel ice cream at our local HyVee, which is pretty good. The texture isn’t quite right to me, but it’s not bad if you don’t want to make your own. But remember how good homemade ice cream is? Well,...
