Low Carb Noodle Free Lasagna Recipe

March 18, 2019 by Faith 1 Comment

This Low Carb Noodle Free Lasagna Recipe features a homemade meat sauce and a flavorful savory ricotta mixture, and is topped with a combination of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.

First let’s talk about the elephant in the room; my Low Carb Noodle Free Lasagna Recipe is by no means a classic or authentic lasagna. However, it is jam-packed with flavor, and every bit as delicious as a regular lasagna. (I’ve had both keto and non-keto people ask for seconds, as well as ask for the recipe!) But really, this dish is more of a casserole than a lasagna. It consists of a homemade meat sauce topped with a spiced ricotta cheese mixture, and then a combination of mozzarella and Parmesan on top. Baked until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is golden and melty, this dish is low carb comfort food at its finest.…

February 25, 2019 by Faith Leave a Comment

If you’ve never made a homemade cheese ball, start with this Easy Ranch Cheese Ball Recipe. It’s a delicious low carb appetizer and always a crowd-pleaser! Instead of using a ranch packet, you’ll see how quick and easy it is to make this from scratch using a couple fresh herbs and pantry staples. When it comes to easy crowd-pleasing appetizers, for most of us, a cheese and cracker tray is one of the first things that come to mind. And what better way to jazz up a cheese and cracker tray than with a cheese ball?!...

Rose Tea Latte with Vanilla Rooibos

February 11, 2019 by Faith 2 Comments

The floral flavor of rose is balanced by the earthy sweetness of vanilla and rooibos in this caffeine free Rose Tea Latte with Vanilla Rooibos. Normally I’m not a huge fan of floral flavors like rose or lavender, but this Rose Tea Latte with Vanilla Rooibos is surprisingly mellow. The addition of cream helps with that, and the vanilla and rooibos add complexity. It’s a feminine drink with a surprising balance of earthy and floral flavors and creamy texture. You can use a little beet root powder food coloring if you want to make it pink....

Creamy White Chicken Chili Recipe (Beanless; Keto; Low Carb)

January 21, 2019 by Faith 3 Comments

This low carb and keto friendly Creamy White Chicken Chili Recipe has two kinds of cheese and a little kick from jalapenos! It’s a great way to use rotisserie chicken, and it comes together in less than 30 minutes. I give stovetop instructions, as well as slow cooker and pressure cooker instructions. If you’re a chili purist, don’t avert your eyes! Yes, this Creamy White Chicken Chili Recipe has chicken…and no beans…and neither a tomato product nor chili powder in sight, lol. But I promise it’s pretty fantastic; delicious is a given, but it’s also easy to make, fun to top with whatever suits your […]...

Low Carb Biscuits and Gravy Recipe

January 7, 2019 by Faith 3 Comments

If you’re a fan of classic Southern fare, you won’t want to miss my Low Carb Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Recipe! Flaky, tender, and flavorful biscuits paired with a rich, creamy Italian turkey sausage gravy make for a delicious meal any time of day. Being born and raised in the Buffalo area, my first foray into Southern biscuits didn’t come until I was in my early twenties. My mom, brother, and I drove down to visit my sister who was living in North Carolina at the time. On the way home my mom was jonesing for biscuits so badly she asked the toll collector on […]...

Low Carb Cheesy Turkey Meatballs with Rosemary Cream Sauce

December 10, 2018 by Faith 2 Comments

This recipe for Low Carb Cheesy Turkey Meatballs with Rosemary Cream Sauce is basically a meatball gratin. Aromatic with garlic and rosemary, these cheesy turkey meatballs are smothered in a cream sauce, topped with cheese, and baked. I always seem to have a pack of ground turkey tucked away in my freezer. It’s delicious and very versatile, but for some reason, ground turkey is something that’s not frequently on my radar to make! I think these Low Carb Cheesy Turkey Meatballs with Rosemary Cream Sauce will change that....

Healthy Snickers Protein Bars (Low Carb)

December 3, 2018 by Faith 4 Comments

My low carb Healthy Snickers Protein Bars feature a protein-rich nougat layer topped with homemade keto caramel (don’t worry, it’s easy to make!) and peanuts, and are coated in rich, dark chocolate. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who hasn’t tried a Snickers candy bar. Further, I can’t remember anyone telling me that they didn’t like Snickers! It’s a great combination of flavors and textures, which is why it was a top choice for me when I was trying to decide what kind of homemade protein bar I wanted to make....

Low Carb Savory Galette Recipe with Mushrooms, Manchego, and Thyme

November 26, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

This Low Carb Savory Galette Recipe with Mushrooms, Manchego, and Thyme makes a beautiful autumnal appetizer or addition to brunch. So many people tell me that the thing they miss most after going keto or changing over to a low carb way of eating is BREAD! I can definitely relate. There’s something incredibly comforting about a slice of toast slathered in butter, a cream-filled donut, a wedge of chocolate cake, or a flaky-crusted chicken pot pie. But the good news is that so many of these recipes are fairly easy to remake into a low carb version that will actually nourish you and won’t lead […]...
