Let’s be honest…nothing can replace a McDonald’s french fry. Or any french fries for that matter. They are simply a quintessential American food. So, it is natural to mourn the loss of french fries when you switch to a ketogenic diet. Take a moment if you […]

Every true southerner loves cornbread! And most southerners have a preferred type of cornbread (sweet, dry, crumbly, cakey, etc). I love it slightly sweet and cake-y!     Since corn is obviously NOT part of a ketogenic diet, I’ve been on the search for the […]

One of the things I always loved about eating Mexican food was the rice! It was soft, fluffy, and had the best flavor! I’ve really missed it since cutting carbs and eating keto. Don’t get me wrong, tacos by themselves are better than no tacos […]

These boneless buffalo chicken meatballs are all the goodness of wings without the mess!   Lately, I have had a hankering for buffalo chicken. Before keto, I would sandwich it in between King’s Hawaiian rolls and go to town. I might have just drooled a […]

 My mom used to make the best tuna fish sandwiches. She added chopped sweet pickles and a dash of sugar. It was divine! But, neither of those are keto friendly so I cut them out. The key to keto success is meal planning and having an arsenal of well-rounded […]
