Bacon weave. Check. Eggs cooked in bacon grease. Check. Vegetables. Check. This is just a delicious and nutritious breakfast, 'nuff said. They keep well, they taste fantastic, and they're really easy to make a few at a time. Can you say new breakfast staple? I know some people have been having problems weaving their bacon, or that it's not turning out right for them. I've put together a picture tutorial on How to Weave Bacon. This goes through the whole process, as well as the importance of ...
Almond Flour & Flax Seed Pancakes
A long time ago, I used to eat steel cut oat pancakes. I used to adore them, the chunky consistency, the full body taste, and the chewy texture. While these aren't as chunky, they came pretty damn close with the satisfaction. I don't like those protein pancakes or those cream cheese pancakes that turn out more like crepes. I want a PANCAKE and there's not all that much you can do to actually get what you wish on keto. I sought out an adventure and wanted to figure out a way to get a very low ...

Cinnamon Roll Waffles are the best of both worlds. That creamy, sweet, delicious cinnamon roll warm out of the oven mixed with the childhood favorite of most - waffles!

Keto Bites: Crispy Stuffed Bacon Baskets
My quest for a basket of meat to put things in is still not over. This one came much closer to what I was searching for - it isn't on the money, but it is damn tasty! I won't be satisfied until something of epic proportions comes out of the kitchen. You can see my last "basket" attempts, 1 successful and 1 very tasty "failure". These aren't really 1 biters, but they sure as heck are worth making! They're a little labour intensive for one person to eat, but if you are wanting to impress ...

Keto Bites: Sausage, Bacon & Egg Baskets
I've been having this notion in my mind that I must create some sort of vessel to stuff things inside. My first thought was to make a basket out of bacon, but as you saw in my previous recipe, it didn't work as I thought it would. This time I figured I'd add sausage, and it seems to have worked! I was going to add a binder, but I didn't see it necessary since it stuck together with fat after a grind in the food processor. A food processor is a great tool to have around the kitchen. You can ...

Bacon Wrapped Low Carb Scotch Eggs
I've had a lot of bacon and eggs on hand lately, and by a lot I mean 48 eggs and 5 pounds of bacon. I need to use it up, and I figured I would start making eggs and bacon only, for the next few days. Trying to create some new ways to enjoy these guys, instead of the old bacon and scrambled eggs. Scotch eggs are a fantastic treat, and while it's hard not wanting to gulp down a dark ale while I'm eating one (or three) of these, they're still a delicacy I haven't encountered for years. The ...

Bacon Crusted Frittata Muffins
These are one of my favorite things to cook; they're easy, pretty fast, and they save extremely well. Cook them in bulk and then you have breakfast for the entire week! When I cooked these, I tried 2 different methods of making the bacon basket. The way listed below had the best results - with the others, the eggs leaked completely through to the sides and the bacon curled up as it was cooking - making it more of a frittata keto muffin with a curl of bacon in the middle. They save ...

Perfect Cup of Keto Coffee

Drinking this coffee will break your fast from the night time, but it will ramp up your metabolism with caffeine and fats. This is to help you get through the fasting process in the 10+ hours ...

Spinach and Cheddar Scrambled Eggs
This is a breakfast staple for me, where it's my go-to a lot of the time. It's fast (only takes about 10 minutes), tastes great, and it's packed full of nutrients. These eggs will usually fill me up until around 1pm, and sometimes even longer. They're a great source of energy in the morning and keep you full for a good chunk of the day. If you're the type that has problems with hunger around 11, try these! The fats in the cheese and cream will be sure to help your stomach stay quiet until ...
