Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole (KETO/Low Carb)
Who doesn’t love a good casserole. I know I do. They are my comfort food and this Bacon Cheeseburger has everything a good casserole should have, and then some. Bacon, please This casserole all starts with bacon. I used 1/2 lb of bacon and cut the strips into small pieces and then cooked it all in a large skillet. If you leftover bacon you can use it, but I love how the bacon flavor becomes the base of the casserole when you cook it in the same skillet as the meat. The bacon adds so much flavor and really elevates this casserole to the next level. My moms hamburger casserole…

Pumpkin Butter Cookies (KETO/Low Carb Friendly)
Happy Fall!! I cannot believe it is almost October! To celebrate I made KETO friendly Pumpkin Butter Cookies and they are AMAZING! The perfect Fall cookie One of my biggest fears going on KETO was missing out on the sweets. To be honest I do not have a big sweet tooth but I do like a little something sweet here and there. A couple of friends suggested I make “fat bombs” immediately and I did and I love them (I will post a recipe for those soon) but the last few days I have been craving a cookie or cake…specifically pumpkin cookies or cake. Thankfully I adjusted a favorite recipe…

Pork Medallions with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

It was not until a month or so ago that I even started eating them…and now I LOVE THEM, and they are perfect in this dish!

Now I am a big pork tenderloin fan, but I wanted to make a one skillet dinner so i decided to cut the tenderloin into medallions.
