We are soooo in that weird place where our grown kids are leaving, coming back again, and leaving again. It’s a tough world out there and our kids are definitely feeling it. For me, having adults coming and going as they please but still wanting to offer good, home made food means having to plan,…
Low Carb Lemon Ricotta Cake
Oh yeah, let them eat cake! Delicious low carb cake (not to mention gluten and grain free) that is! Yummy, coffee cake like Italian ricotta cake. Mmmmm. My enthusiasm for trying new things and my general thought that not much beyond rocket science is actually rocket science (you shouldn’t mess with that stuff – IMO) can…
Low Carb Saskatoon ‘tarts’
I seriously did not know exactly what to call this quick and easy dessert. It’s not a crumble, a grunt, a pandowdy or a buckle and it isn’t really a pie either, though that is what it was standing in for when I made it. Steve loves, loves, loves Saskatoon pie. It is really the…
Chilean Roasted Pork Belly
I am a sucker, a sucker I say, for pretty food! That is how I ended up with this beautiful, completely too big and entirely not needed, braided pork belly from Regina’s Fine Meats at the Crossroads Market here in Calgary. It was just sitting there at the meat counter, being all innocent but glorious…
Spicy Italian Keto Hot Pockets
These spicy Italian Keto Hot Pockets are a really easy to make, easy to pack, low carb breakfast or lunch option. Just like my Greens, Eggs and Ham Hot Pockets, they use a simple cheese and almond flour crust that is spiced up with some dried Italian herbs. They come together in about 15 minutes…
Greens, Eggs and Ham Breakfast Hot Pockets
Well, after watching me lose over 20 lbs on a low carb/ketogenic lifestyle, my hubby Steve has finally jumped on board. He has been eating low carb at home because, for the most part, that’s all I’m cooking. The only problem with that is that he has also still been eating higher carb lunches etc….
Low Carb Coconut Orange Macaroons
My transition to a low carb lifestyle has, for the most part, been pretty easy. With the exception of a few foods which are really, really hard to replicate (bread is particularly tricky), so many foods can be substituted out with low carb options. Though I have never been a huge sweets eater I did find…
A Low Carb Diet Update
Well, I’ve been eating an LCHF or low carb, high fat diet since the beginning of July. I figured maybe it was time to let you know how my big fat experiment was going so far. As I posted in August of this year, I started this experiment in response to my own question about how…
Low Carb Dark Chocolate Almond Joy Bites with Sea Salt
This low carb thing has been pretty easy for the most part, mostly because I never did really crave carbs. I crave cheese, and protein. Might be why this LCHF thing is such a good fit for me 🙂 There have been a few spots that have been more challenging, like eating out, which is…
Keto Mug Lasagne | Low Carb
I am in love with this recipe for low carb/ keto mug lasagne that I ever so slightly adapted from a video from Ginny’s Low Carb Kitchen. I’ve made it 3 times this week, partly because I bought the ricotta cheese and don’t want it to go to waste but mostly because it is super…
