Keto Crispy Baked Zucchini Slices

July 15, 2019 by Faith 2 Comments

This recipe for Keto Crispy Baked Zucchini Slices is my take on a favorite summer side dish my mom makes. My version hits all the right notes – crispy outside, tender inside, and full of flavor – but with much fewer carbs!

When I was younger my mom had a small vegetable garden, and zucchini was always one of the vegetables that thrived best. If you grow zucchini you probably come to expect zucchini overload every summer! It’s always good to have a few new recipes up your sleeve to help use up the bounty.…

BLT Salad

July 8, 2019 by Faith Leave a Comment

This BLT salad packs all the traditional flavors of a classic BLT sandwich, but without the carbs! What’s not to love about a fabulous bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich, right? Actually, the only thing I don’t like about it is the carbs. But that’s an easy fix; just make it in salad form instead!...

Turtle Brownies

July 1, 2019 by Faith Leave a Comment

Turtle Brownies take regular chocolate brownies to the next level with the addition of pecans, soft caramels, and chocolate chips! Summer is in full swing, and along with it backyard BBQs, pool parties, and picnics. This time of year I’m always looking for a new easy dessert recipe to please a crowd! Cookies are a safe bet, and brownies are even better. I have yet to have someone turn down a brownie, especially an insanely indulgent one!...

Cauliflower Potato Salad

June 24, 2019 by Faith 1 Comment

Cauliflower Potato Salad (aka mock potato salad) has a mayo-based dressing with a touch of Dijon, dill, and a few spices. It’s every bit as delicious as regular potato salad, but with a fraction of the carbs! The magical property of cauliflower is that you can transform it into almost anything else. Cauliflower lends itself well to low carb simulations of pizza crust, bread sticks, rice, mashed potato, macaroni and cheese, and yes, even potato salad! I know what you’re thinking, and I was skeptical too, but let me explain....

Cast Iron Burgers

June 17, 2019 by Faith 1 Comment

Cast Iron Burgers are juicy and flavorful, and easy to make on your stovetop in a cast-iron skillet. For a lot of us, grilling is the preferred cooking method in summer. Grilling is quick and easy, and doesn’t require heating up the kitchen to get dinner on the table! And surprisingly, it’s a very versatile cooking method. My dad has told me several times that he could cook a cake on a grill and I actually believe him, lol!...

Chewy Cinnamon Pecan Brown Butter Oatmeal Cookies

June 10, 2019 by Faith 2 Comments

Chewy Cinnamon Pecan Brown Butter Oatmeal Cookies have nutty, caramel flavor notes and a lovely balance of chewy and crispy textures. I went through a phase where I loved chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. I’d add just a pinch of cinnamon (because it’s a classic addition to oatmeal cookies), and use extra brown sugar to give the cookies caramel notes. With a little flaky sea salt sprinkled on top (like my Small Batch Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies), they had a balanced flavor profile and were completely addictive....

Parmesan Peppercorn Dressing

June 3, 2019 by Faith Leave a Comment

Parmesan Peppercorn Dressing is a beautiful blend of savory Parmesan flavor, peppery heat, and tangy creamy texture. And it takes minimal effort to make! I’m a condiment girl all the way. I like “the works” on top of hot dogs and burgers, blue cheese for my wings, mustard to dip pretzels in, and ketchup and/or hot sauce drizzled on eggs. For me, the dressing can make or break a salad!...

Keto Spanakopita Dip

May 27, 2019 by Faith 2 Comments

Keto Spanakopita Dip is rich and super cheesy with four kinds of cheese, and garlic and dill bump up the flavor! I never heard anyone complaining of too many cheesy dip recipes. (I mean, is there such a thing as too much cheese?!) With that in mind, here I took inspiration from delicious Greek cuisine and made a low carb version of Spanakopita, no crispy crust needed!...

Cold Brew Coffee (And an Affogato Recipe)

May 20, 2019 by Faith 23 Comments

Every iced coffee-lover should know this easy method for how to make Cold Brew Coffee for iced coffee! Turning it into Affogato (which means “drowned” in Italian) by adding a scoop of vanilla gelato or ice cream is just icing on the cake. When I first moved to Florida for law school, I became a little bit of an iced coffee junkie. I developed a Starbucks-almost-every-morning ritual without realizing how easy (and cheap!) it is to make cold-brewed coffee at home....

Sugar Free Strawberry Jam Recipe

May 13, 2019 by Faith Leave a Comment

Sugar Free Strawberry Jam has just the right amount of sweetness and comes together in just 20 minutes! Use local strawberries in season (or local strawberries that have been flash-frozen) for the most intensely-flavored jam. Growing up in Buffalo, strawberry season was usually right around the third week of June. My sister and I looked forward to strawberry picking with mom every year! It’s one of those things where instinct sort-of takes over. You’re in a field of deliciously ripe strawberries; you’ve already picked a flat of strawberries (when you only meant to pick half a flat); and yet you just can’t stop picking, lol. […]...
