Keto Best Bets at Chick-Fil-A

In a perfect world I’d never have to eat out. If I didn’t feel like preparing dinner, my personal chef would whip up something amazing for me. In my current reality, sometimes exhaustion and convenience win out over giving my very best to dinner prep. Travel also happens from time to time and when flying, sometimesContinue reading “Keto Best Bets at Chick-Fil-A”

It’s Pasta Time!

If you’re a pasta lover like me, transitioning to a low-carb or ketogenic diet can feel like you’re being forced to give up your favorite foods. While I stand firmly in my position that I CAN eat whatever I want, but I CHOOSE to eat foods that are better for my body, it doesn’t meanContinue reading “It’s Pasta Time!”

Keto Product Review: Flackers

I love cheese and crackers. Especially with a glass of wine. But being keto, the cracker part of this equation has been challenging. I’ll sometimes use “crackers” made from fathead dough, but either they are soft like bread or if you want them crunchy they need to be dehydrated.

KKF Bolognese Sauce

Test subject Bill asked for Bolognese sauce last week. It’s always nice to get a request…and then NAIL IT. This sauce was a thing of beauty.

KKF Bolognese Sauce 1 lbContinue reading “KKF Bolognese Sauce”

Corn Syrup Free Pee-Can Pie

Pecan pie is probably my all-time favorite pie. Unfortunately because this pie is almost always made with corn syrup I usually either forgo it or eat it and then feel bad about myself. But I have found a way to make my pie and eat it too. Pecan pie with no corn syrup. No GMOsContinue reading “Corn Syrup Free Pee-Can Pie”

KKF Chicken Peanut Noodles

One of my favorite things in the world is a good Asian peanut sauce. If you add noodles, it’s even better! I’ve been trying to achieve the perfect peanut noodles with just the right balance of heat, spice and sweetness. At long last, I think I have found it. Pull out your big noodle bowlsContinue reading “KKF Chicken Peanut Noodles”

Your Zillion Kitchen Pets

Your kitchen is filled with tiny unwanted pets…bacteria. And they are lurking in places that you might not suspect. Here’s the topContinue reading “Your Zillion Kitchen Pets”
