Welcome to our newcomers at the Unity meeting this week! With daylight savings time, it was still light when we arrived at the meeting! I’m so looking forward to warmer weather and longer days 🙂 If you’d like to get more information on how and why this way of...
General
Garlic Aioli
To make this garlic aioli, I blended 6 cloves of garlic to into a batch of fresh mayo (recipe below). You can add more or less garlic, depending on your own tastes. Slather it on a bunless burger or serve as a side with any meat or vegetable. For...
Pizza Skillet
This has become our favorite way to have pizza. No, there’s no crust. But really, we do not miss crust anymore. How is that possible? I dunno. As much as we loved bread all our lives; after three years eating keto, we’re all about the main ingredients–cheese, sauce, meats,...
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
These were so easy to make. The strawberries need to be rinsed and then allowed to dry thoroughly. While they are drying, melt a 9 oz package of lily’s sugar-free chocolate chips with an ounce of cocoa butter. If you don’t have cocoa butter, you could also use coconut...
Tomato Basil Soup
Saute some onion and garlic in butter in the bottom of a soup pot. Add about a tablespoon of dried basil (I wish I could have found fresh, but basil isn’t in season in January!) and about a teaspoon of dried oregano. Add an 8 oz package of cream...
Keto Mint Thins
Don’t let the girl scouts talk you into cookies this year! There are keto versions that we can make that won’t give us grief. Give the girls a donation and let them pass the cookies along to someone else. I’ll be sending my donation to my little friend Aubrey:)...
Sous Vide Pork Chops
Santa brought me a sous vide for Christmas. I’ve been wanting one for a while now but dreaded learning how to use it and figuring out where to store it. But, from these first pork chops, I’d say it’s worth the effort! This cooking method requires searing the meat...
Keto for the New Year 2019
Our third keto holiday. Three years of eating good food, losing weight, and reversing diabetes. I still remember the first time I saw a low carb progress picture on Facebook. I was sitting at Judson and Rachel’s dining room table on Dec 29th, 2015 and I immediately knew I...
Christmas Keto Fudge
Melt together: One 9 oz bag of Lily’s sugar free chocolate chips (or you can use unsweetened chocolate and add your choice of sweetener), 1/4 cup butter, 3/4 cup heavy cream (you can use thick canned coconut milk instead), and 1 tsp vanilla. Pour into silicone molds or into...
What We’ve Been Up To
Once again it was great to see everybody at our meeting earlier this week! We welcomed two newcomers. For those of you new to keto, be sure to check out my favorite resources for getting started. Holiday Treat Sampling It always makes me happy when people like my cooking,...
