After the raging success of the now infamous Cheesy Biscuits I made for you a while back, I thought you might like a sweeter, more dessert-like option; and – since I believe they are highly underrated – cranberries immediately sprang to mind.

These delicious little Raspberry White Chocolate Custard Pops are the perfect end to a meal when you just need a little low-carb sumpin-sumpin to finish it off. A lot of folks on keto would refer to these as Fat Bombs, and while I am not an advocate of downing large amounts of fat bombs – […]

Tacos de Lengua

carrie — Fri, 17 Jul 2020 13:07:28 +0000

Tacos de Lengua is a Mexican street food that I used to love to get whenever I was surfing or on scuba trips in Baja. I remember it’s crispy-fried goodness in a soft corn tortilla with cilantro, onions and lime. One food that I feel real nostalgic for is Mexican food because it’s reminds me […]

carrie — Fri, 03 Jul 2020 09:00:00 +0000

I love dishes focused on nutrient density and anti-inflammatory properties and these Super Seafood Stuffed Avocados totally fit that bill by combining sardines and cod liver in with tuna.

I was introduced to poke at my best friend’s Hawaiian restaurant. It was one of my favorite things to get after a day of surfing or working at the YMCA as a lifeguard or swim instructor. I fell in love with the flavors, the freshness of the fish, and the taste of the seaweed in […]

Almond Custard (+ VIDEO!)

carrie — Fri, 01 May 2020 09:00:00 +0000

Custard. Is there anyone that doesn’t like custard? I actually thought that custard was a fully British thing and that no one in America would care about there being such a thing as keto custard. Turns out I was wrong. And while one doesn’t really like being wrong, there’s times where being wrong opens up […]

There’s something you might not know about me. I love roses. I mean, I *really* love roses. The scent of them. The look of them. And the taste of them. Every Christmas when I was a child I delighted in the box of Rose Turkish Delight that graced the candy table. We only had candy […]

I know a lot of you are yelling, “Shakshouka! Shakshouka!” right now. And you would be warm. But not hot. Because these Italian-Style Creamy Baked Eggs are a lot more than Shakshouka. More substantial, more filling, more delicious, and more keto. Even though it sneakily looks pretty much exactly the same. These Italian-Style Creamy Baked Eggs […]

Strawberry Mousse

A little while back I was tasked with bringing desserts to a Minifest at 2 KetoDude Carl Franklin’s home. I decided to make individual Strawberry Surprise Crumbles and Cappuccino Mousses. It just so happens that the frozen strawberries were heavily discounted when I went to get all the things I needed from the grocery store, […]

Fennel Tarragon Lamb Shanks

carrie — Fri, 07 Feb 2020 07:00:26 +0000

I love lamb. I ate lamb quite a lot growing up in England. We have a lot of lambs frolicking around the British Isles, especially in Wales, where it’s said there are more sheep than people. So while my love of lamb runs deep, when I came to live in America 19 years ago I […]

Strawberry Almond Porridge

I made you Strawberry Almond Porridge. Because I often wake up thinking things like, “I wonder what would happen if I threw a pile of chia seeds in my Vitamix and spun the living daylights out of them?”, or, “I wonder if soaked chia seeds would make a good base for ice cream?”, which leads […]

Ham, Leek and Feta Egg Cups

carrie — Thu, 09 May 2019 08:00:24 +0000

Egg Muffins are nothing new and extraordinary. But they are still awesome. Especially when you try out some new flavor combinations. Part of being a Kitchen Rockstar is flexing those taste buds to include new ingredients you haven’t tried before. Because keto and low carb can *seem* restrictive when you first start, but boy howdy […]

Vanilla Hazelnut Granola

carrie — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 08:00:22 +0000

One thing that a bunch of folks miss when they go keto is things that go crunch. And cereal. They miss cereal. I can’t decide whether one is missed more than the other, but it doesn’t matter with this Vanilla Hazelnut Granola because you get both. You can satisfy your crunch and cereal needs in […]

This Chocolate Sea Salt Smoothie is one way to get a delicious break to your fast or a meal-on-the-go inside you without having to worry about dodgy ingredients and an icky taste like so many commerically-bought smoothies do.

This Egg and Bacon Salad is near and dear to my heart. It’s a riff on something my mother started making for birthday parties when I was a young’un, and it has been a favorite thing in my life ever since. Maybe because I only got to eat it twice a year, so it was […]

Coconut Lime Jellies

I made you some little bites of awesome – Coconut Lime Jellies. Some people might look at the ingredients and call them fat bombs, and while it’s true that they are crammed with healthy fats, they are very different from your typical fat bombs.

Avocado Salsa Salad

carrie — Mon, 04 Mar 2019 09:00:26 +0000

Avocados are all Prima Donna in the keto and low carb world. People eat them with abandon. They slap slices of them on top of just about everything. Because avocado flesh is absolutely, awesomely good for you. Bunches of healthy fat in a form that isn’t the least bit like eating a bunch of fat. […]

At first glance, this might not look like much. Do not let it’s humble appearance fool you into thinking it’s just some regular, ordinary side.

Creamy Green Basil Smoothie

carrie — Thu, 14 Feb 2019 09:00:48 +0000

Smoothies are incredibly popular with folks trying to follow a healthier lifestyle. The *big* problem is that the vast majority of recipes are actually sugar-bombs – packed with fruits and bananas to make them sweet and creamy. And who can blame them? No one enjoys drinking liquid spinach or kale. No one. But this Creamy […]
