I loved my old King Ranch Chicken recipe and have been trying to convert it to keto ever since I've been on this way of eating. I knew when I came up with a good tortilla recipe the rest would fall into place. Now that I have that tortilla recipe, I am happy to say I now have the keto version of King Ranch Chicken! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Makes 12 servings of Keto King Ranch Chicken The Preparation 3 cups chicken, cut up in bite sized pieces* 1 cup chicken broth ...
Low Carb Chili with a Kick
I've been trying to find a good chili recipe over the last few months, and I've finally found one worth posting. It's got a bit of carbs in it, but the taste makes it well worth it. It's very filling, very tasty, and gives you satiety for hours to come. It's a bit spicy, so if you are not into that sort of thing, feel free to sub out the tomatoes with jalapeno for just tomatoes. Once you have finished the "cooking" process in the slow cooker, the chili is still a bit watery from the tomato ...

Chinese Style Slow-Cooked Pork Hock
An extremely tasty dish that was created by MidnightTokr over at Reddit. He describes the dish as very savory, where its characteristic flavor from the five-spice and shitake mushrooms blend nicely with the sweet and saltiness of the soy sauce. He says that the sauce goes great over steamed vegetables, like broccoli, because it will absorb all the flavor. He also enjoys this with cauliflower rice. He also added, which not necessary, he recommends to add the pork back to the sauce after ...

Low Carb Crispy Fried Chicken
Remember those Cheddar and Bacon BBQ Meatballs that I made the other day? Well, I had leftover pork rinds from crushing them up - so I decided that I would make some fried chicken with it. Surprisingly (well, I had my suspicions anyway) it turned out really awesome! It's a great breading for fried chicken, it holds together and sticks, and tastes fantastic. My one quip about this, is to make sure that you don't use a food processor to crush up the pork rinds. I used a rolling pin to ...

Cheesy Cheese Pizza Crust Pizza
I found this recipe on a low carb site and decided to try it out for myself. It looked like it might work, but I definitely had my doubts. I mean a cheese pizza crust made out of cream cheese? Seemed farfetched. In reality? This cheesy cheese pizza crust actually turned out pretty awesome. Granted, when it's hot, it doesn't hold it's form so great. But when you let it cool down and solidify a bit, it makes a great pizza crust! It might be a little bit garlic-y for your taste, so if ...

Cheddar and Bacon BBQ Meatballs
These are some of the best meatballs I've ever had, keto or not. They're juicy, and they're full of cheese and bacon. What's not to like here? You really have a choice of where to go with this recipe. You don't have to use the BBQ sauce, but it pairs up extremely well with this recipe. You can add salsa and go for a Southwestern vibe, or add some homemade alfredo sauce and go for a very rich dish. I like my BBQ sauce to be spicy and tangy, so if you like more of a subtle BBQ sauce you ...

Hearty Pot Pie
Ever since I made the recipe for the pecan pie, I've been in love with this pie crust. I ended up using it when I made a pie out of these low carb pumpkin cheesecake tarts. It was then that I started thinking of savory uses for the pie crust. It's the closest thing I've ever gotten to a traditional pie crust, and with turkey leftovers from Thanksgiving, it only made sense to think of using it to make a pot pie. For this one I used up the leftover veggies I had on hand. I used roasted radishes ...

Hearty Crock Pot Chicken Stew
So I've had these chicken thighs sitting around for a while, and I couldn't decide what to do with them. I didn't want to only grill them, so I decided to get the crock pot out and make some sort of stew. The end results were surprisingly good! Although it might look like a stringy mess, it tastes absolutely delicious. The peppers cooked down so they are virtually nonexistent, but the mushrooms give a nice texture change. I've found that it ends up tasting even better after it's been ...
