• KETO Cauliflower Risotto

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE risotto.  I love how decadent, rich and full of flavor it is.  Traditional risotto (like this recipe) is not KETO friendly but when you use cauliflower rice it becomes VERY KETO friendly.   One skillet is all you need The beauty of risotto is that it is typically made all on one pan.  This makes it a perfect side dish for a busy weeknight or lazy weekend.   This time around I went with a simple parmesan risotto but if you wanted to add in some mushrooms or bacon you would cook them in the skillet before you add in the cauliflower rice.  This way the…

  • KETO Double Chocolate Cookies

    I have a few weaknesses in my world.  I find it hard to pass up a good glass of rose on a warm summer day, I find it very hard to say no to fishing and I find it near impossible to say no to chocolate.  Since starting my KETO lifestyle I have had to become very creative with my chocolate cravings, and these cookies are a staple for me. Chocolate, please These cookies are loaded with chocolate yumminess.  They have cocoa powder and dark chocolate, lots of dark chocolate.  For 20 cookies you use 3 oz of dark chocolate… in other words that is a WHOLE chocolate bar.  …

  • KETO Quiche

    Since I started on my KETO journey I have been seeing egg “muffins” all over Pinterest.  I have been wanting to make them for a long time and today was the day.  Now I am kicking myself for not making them before now. Options…Options and more Options In my book options are always a good thing.  I wanted to have something that everyone would like so I went with a bacon option, a sausage option and an all veggie option with bell peppers.  In each option I added in chopped spinach and chopped onion.   Personally all were SO GOOD, but the bacon was my favorite… everything is better with…
