An old, old recipe from House of Grace in my hometown of Paducah, Ky.  We all loved going there during the 70’s and 80’s to eat Curtis Grace’s good food.  His restaurant has moved, but he’s still there cooking for the locals. I omitted one little ingredient to make it keto friendly.   Cook two […]

One of my favorite things about this way of eating is being able to have full-fat, beautiful dressings to go with salads.  I used to hate all those low-fat, low-calorie versions that are mostly water back before I found keto.  I buy no-sugar, full-fat dressings from the store to use on occasion when I don’t […]

We love chicken wings here at our house.  And this week’s version was the easiest version ever.  Thaw, pat dry, salt & pepper, then deep fry in  lard.  That’s it.  They were great! (The cookbook The 30 Day Ketogenic Cleanse is a new one to us. Lots of dairy free options in Maria’s books if […]

While the title of the recipe is sugar free chocolate chips, I made these into 24 squares so they could be pulled out for either chocolate chips or for a bit of chocolate to go with a cup of coffee.  Two total carbs, one fiber, one net carb.  Five fat, one protein. These are solid […]

I often make up a batch of poppers for Friday nights.  Here our Skye girl is hanging out waiting for a bite even though she has never tasted a popper.  I don’t think she’d like jalapenos!  She had to settle for a milk bone. You can find a bunch of popper recipes on pinterest, but […]

I was talking to my mom on the phone the other day and she was raving about a lemon pound cake that my sister-in-law Lisa had made.  “I never tasted a better pound cake.  I couldn’t tell the difference.”  Well, I had to try it.  And. . . She was right! I used an angel […]

These short ribs were fresh cut at Humphrey’s and just beautiful.  I browned them in the instant pot, then added 14 oz of beef broth, 14 oz of no-sugar added marinara sauce, a couple of cloves of garlic and a couple tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce with salt & pepper and then pressured on low for […]

Are you iced in today?  Mark has chipped out the driveway and we’ll try to get out in a little bit, but it looks like we’re in for really cold weather and more freezing rain :/ So while Mark was working outside, I made up a batch of these coconut almond crisps from over on […]

Tonight’s chicken dinner. Mark used crushed pork rinds for breading and fried the nuggets in lard.  The side is cheesy cauliflower.  Microwave a steamer bag of riced cauliflower, mix in grated cheddar cheese and sour cream, put in a baker and top with a little more cheese and butter.  Bake til melty. Not pictured is […]

My mom made this pizza for us when I was visiting with her last month.  She’s 81 years young and has been on her own low-carb journey.  She’s lost 30 pounds and is now maintaining instead of trying to lose any more.  YaY 🙂 I am so proud of my mama–she knows her way around […]
