In Honor of National Bacon Day... We present our loaded, keto cheesy pesto meatballs in bacon! This recipe was just waiting to happen. Mozzarella and meatballs dipped in marinara sauce sounds heavenly and has been done time and time again. But add in some pesto and you've got a completely different flavor- something more earthy [...]
Long Weekend Keto Favorites! Long weekends are national BBQ weekends! It seems every American's celebration involves firing up a grill and making some delicious food to share with your friends and family. Whether you make something the day before for a potluck, bringing some marinated meats from your favorite butcher to your friends house like we do, [...]
Summer Grillin'! If there's one thing that crosses my mind when I see a grill, it's "I gotta throw some mushrooms on there!" Living in an apartment in Brooklyn doesn't allow for much grilling in the summer but we've got friends in rural places. Whenever we visit our Staten Islanders we're chopping veggies and marinating [...]

And having an easy guacamole recipe under your belt can come in very handy. Guacamole is easy to make and can [...]
Soup in Under 15 Minutes! It goes without saying that we love cooking, but some nights we're too busy or too tired to prepare dinner. That's why we love keeping a few quarts of soup on hand for a quick dinner. Trader Joe's sells some awesome, organic tomato soups that we sampled. Unfortunately, after our [...]
A Little Almond Joy in your Day! Almond Joys might have been named after the feeling of joy you got when you bit into one. They're sweet, covered in chocolate with sticky and chewy coconut in the center. You also get that addictive crunch from the almond nestled between the layers. It really is such [...]
Low Carb Breakfast Muffins! We love breakfasts on the go (mostly because we love sleeping in!). Breakfast muffins are one of the most versatile breakfasts we can imagine. They're easy to make, easy to carry, can be tailored to anyone's tastes and store perfectly in the freezer. It's so convenient to make a batch of muffins [...]
The Secret's in the Breading! Everyone loves Chicken Parmesan! Whether it's on a sub or on a plate of spaghetti, it's delicious in every way! Unfortunately for us keto-ers, an order or chicken parm from our local pizzeria or Italian restaurant usually means trouble. From the sub or spaghetti to the breading and even the [...]
Fresh for Brunch! A couple of days ago we finally pruned our basil plant we've been growing for months and ended up with the biggest batch of fresh basil we've ever seen. Naturally, pesto has been on the menu all week long. We slathered it on grilled chicken with cauliflower mash, lime marinated skirt steak with [...]
Fresh Herbs are the Best Herbs. Pesto is a great addition to any meat dish! We love smothering chicken breast in it or a nice lime marinated skirt steak. We've also experimented with adding it to our morning omelette with feta cheese. This result? One awesome feta & pesto omelette! It's traditionally made with basil [...]
Pure Decadence. Of the many varieties of low carb cheesecake one could enjoy, chocolate cheesecake stands out. Because of the melted chocolate that goes into the creamy batter, you end up with a dense and flavor-packed slice of cake. While the traditional low carb cheesecake is light and airy with a hint of lemon and vanilla, [...]
An Acquired Taste! Escargot is up there next to oysters, alcohol, coffee, anchovies, smelly cheese and even dark chocolate as an acquired taste. However, unlike the rest of these acquired tastes, snails are actually quite mild in flavor and have a great texture. Mushrooms and cooked snails have an almost identical texture; in fact, I [...]
Keto Meatballs With a Twist! We love eating new foods, but it's more challenging to make new foods! When you think of meatballs, you probably think of classic Italian meatballs in marinara sauce and a pile of spaghetti. Not to mention, those meatballs are full of milk and bread crumbs! We discovered a new way of [...]
Nothing Better Than a Keto Iced Tea on a Hot Day... It's more important than ever to stay hydrated in the summer. Sweat flushes out a lot of water and may leave us dehydrated and tired. Remember, you can get the keto flu even if you're keto-adapted! Replenish your electrolytes by eating a healthy diet, [...]
Our very first popsicles! Since it's summer and the days are getting hotter, we picked up this awesome popsicle mold at our local store. At first, they just seemed like regular molds with a weird stick attached to the side. Turns out, the stick is actually a straw for slurping the melted ice cream that [...]
Accio Butterbeer! I've been itching to make this recipe for months! I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, having read all the books multiple times, watched the marathons, visited The Wizarding World twice, seen the NY Exhibition, seen Potted Potter off-broadway, owner of 3 wands and a 5-foot by 6-foot movie poster.... I could go on [...]
A Favorite Made Low Carb! To the untrained eye, the lobster bisque at your favorite seafood spot may seem like a safe bet compared to a lobster roll or some breaded calamari. When you break it down though, a bowl of lobster bisque can add up to a whole lot of carbs, not to mention calories! [...]
We All Scream For Ice Cream! No one can resist the whimsical tune that the New York ice cream trucks jingle on their way down the block. The Mister Softee theme song is the anthem of childhood summers and sends all the kids running to their parents begging for a dollar to buy an ice [...]
High Fat Low Carb Fun! After our delicious new flavored fat bomb recipe, White Chocolate Butter Pecan fat bombs, we were inspired to use our pecans again. The combination of butter and pecan was made for low carb, high fat diets, so we kept going! We were also craving a delicious new dessert...maybe an ice [...]
Chocolate. Even the word looks delicious. Chocolate gets a bad rep for causing weight gain, acne, and a boatload of other ailments. Sure, when you cram a cup of sugar into each bar, that'll run you into some problems. If you put poison into an apple and ate it, would you blame the apple? Real [...]
