• Skillet Brussels Sprouts and Bacon

    Skillet Brussels Sprouts and Bacon are the perfect quick side for dinner tonight.  Literally can be ready in 20 minutes! KETO baby! I love this side not only because it is Brussels Sprouts (which I LOVE) but it is also KETO friendly, oh yeah and there is bacon.  I mean I am not sure it can get any better than sprouts, bacon, butter and super quick and easy. PS… The flavor is AMAZING! One pan and done I love when a dish is made all in one pan, and this time was all about the skillet.  First you fry up the cut up bacon and then quick sauté the sprouts…

  • 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…

Loaded with flavor This casserole is loaded with tons and tons of flavor.  It all starts with seasoning the chicken with your favorite all purpose seasoning.  I love this seasoning because it is course not overly salty (and there are no carbs in it) but any seasoning blend will work.   I also make sure and season the veggies before I roast them.  This…

    Ok it is official I am a LOVER of Cauliflower.  I love this  Chicken and Cauliflower Casserole and the Mexican Cauliflower Rice  but this loaded casserole is my FAVORITE! Roasting is key There are a ton of loaded cauliflower casseroles on pinterest and they all sound amazing but for me cauliflower is at its best when it is roasted.  I love the little bits of charred cauliflower with the cheese and bacon in this casserole.  The extra step of roasting adds another layer of flavor this already delicious casserole.  Bacon, please A loaded casserole would not be loaded without the addition of bacon.  Right?  I mean the best loaded baked…

In past recipes I have used whole milk or even half & half and…

  • Bacon Brussels Sprouts

    A side dish can truly make or break a meal…but this quick Bacon Brussels Sprouts dish will make any meal AMAZING! Super Easy The beauty of this side is with a few simple ingredients and one pan you can create a side that everyone is sure to love…even those that are not big brussels sprouts fans.  To amp up the flavor I cooked the sprouts in the bacon grease which not only helped to caramelize them perfectly but also added a ton of bacon-y (it’s a word I promise) goodness to each bite.  It also meant that everything was cooked in the same pan, making clean up even easier! FYI…If…

  • 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…

  • bacon green bean casserole-yes I said bacon

    Over the years I have come to the conclusion that you are either a fan of green bean casserole or you are not…it’s really that simple.  I have always landed on the not a fan side of this debate but my brother, James, is a HUGE green bean casserole fan and asks for it every holiday…but this year it was time to take it to the next level. For my brother Most of the time my sis-in-laws mom will make it for him, but for Easter I decided to take on his request but to make it in a way that I (and the other non-lovers) would love as well.…
