• Pumpkin Pasta is a must for Fall

    SO it is no secret that I love PUMPKIN everything.  Literally I am the one who gets tears in her eyes when PSL makes it debut at starbucks each Fall.  I am also that girl who goes to Trader Joes and buys EVERYTHING pumpkin they have (even the dog treats). My last shopping trip… There was also a pumpkin kringle in there.  I just CANNOT get enough pumpkin!! Really in Pasta? So I am a BIG, BIG pumpkin and pasta fan.  My first experience with it was in a ravioli (similar to the ones I got from Trader Joe’s) and then I had it with butternut squash in a lasagna…

  • KETO Poblano Chicken Casserole

    Are you a fan of stuffed jalapeños?  I AM and this KETO Poblano Chicken Casserole is everything you love about a stuffed jalapeño and MORE! Starting with Chicken! For the sake of ease I used a rotisserie chicken.  I just love how easy a rotisserie chicken can make dinner.  If you do not have one on hand, or don’t love them like I do you can use 4-5 cooked chicken breasts, and just shred them up.   Oh the sauce! The delicious sauce is a wonderful combo of cream cheese, heavy cream, garlic, chicken stock and some spices.  It is loaded with tons of FLAVOR and is so easy you…

  • Green Chile Tettrazini

    It is NO secret that I love me a good casserole and this casserole does NOT disappoint.  It has everything you love from a traditional rich and creamy tettrazni but with a little extra something. Full disclosure, obviously this is NOT keto…but last week was a rough one for me and some comfort food was much needed and for me a casserole screams comfort. Traditional…Sorta This tettrazini recipe starts like most others.  There is chicken, pasta, cream of something soup, sour cream and cheese.  What makes this recipe different is the addition of green chilies and some extra spices.   To help make it a little easier I used a…

  • KETO MEATLOAF – you NEED this in your life

    KETO Meatloaf is the epitome of comfort food in my book.  This dish takes me back to my childhood but with an update making it KETO and kid friendly. Mini in size…BIG in flavor I made this meatloaf in muffin pans not only because it makes it super easy but also because they are just so darn cute!!  Each little meatloaf is a little bigger than a meatball making them a fun size.  You can have a few for dinner and then a few for lunch the next day. I also love the size for kids.  My niece and nephew loved them! OHHHH the glaze! My favorite part of a…

  • KETO Queso Burger

    This KETO Queso Burger is everything you need in your life RIGHT NOW!  This whole burger kinda happened by accident.  I was craving a burger but I also wanted Mexican food, well really just quest dip, so I decided to marry the two into this amazing KETO QUESO BURGER! It all starts with the burger (and then the toppings) For this burger I went with a 80/20 blend of ground chuck.  If you wanted to use a 90/10 blend or 70/30 blend go for it, just make sure to adjust cooking time as needed.  The leaner the meat the faster it will cook.   I used 1 1/2 pounds of…

  • Taco Tuesday KETO Taco Bake

    If you have hung out on here very much you know I am a fan of casseroles.  Especially ones that are loaded with tons of flavor and cheese… lots of cheese.  This KETO Taco Bake is all that and MORE! Cauliflower Surprise! To add a little something extra to this pretty traditional taco casserole I started with a cream cheese cauliflower rice layer.  I love the creaminess and richness it adds to each bite while keeping it all super KETO friendly.   Don’t worry though… the cauliflower layer will not add a ton of work.  You can cook it up super fast in a skillet and then stir in the…

  • KETO Loaded Fried “Rice”

    I have been craving Chinese food A LOT lately.  My typical go to is a loaded fried rice, I just love all the flavors and textures together in each bite.  On my KETO journey a traditional fried rice is not going to work but this KETO Loaded Fried Rice is perfection! Making it KETO friendly Obviously, as I said above, a traditional fried rice would not work on a KETO friendly menu, so to make it KETO friendly I am using cauliflower rice.  It has a very similar texture to traditional rice but with just a few carbs.  I also love it because it cooks up SUPER fast and will…
