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!”

Leftover Quesadillas

Our favorite el cheapola Mexican restaurant recently closed down. This is sad, not just because we enjoyed the company of the owner and the staff and the food was pretty darn good for the price, but because now we have to A) find a new place not too far away or B) make our MexicanContinue reading “Leftover Quesadillas”

The Best Tasting Canned Tomato Ever

There’s nothing like fresh tomatoes. Straight from your garden or a real farmer’s market, fresh tomatoes are one of life’s amazing gifts. Sadly, this seasonal fruit (yes, fruit) has but a brief few months before they’re gone and you find yourself in the middle of February with some canned tomato paste and a sad face.Continue reading “The Best Tasting Canned Tomato Ever”

KKF Fast Food: Salmon Patties with Lemon-Thyme Cream

I recently got in on a bulk wild salmon purchase from Lummi Island which included some ground salmon. (You even got a free hat with purchase. Gotta love the freebies.) On nights that I have classes at the gym I need something quick AND I’m a sucker for anything fried in butter, so tonight I tried my handContinue reading “KKF Fast Food: Salmon Patties with Lemon-Thyme Cream”

Independence Day Egg Bash

Grilling out is a sign of independence. Humans. Fire. Meat. Electricity optional. Maybe that’s why it’s so popular to have a cookout on the 4th of July. Maybe it’s because this style of cooking was very popular during the early years of the USA, as it’s easy to feed a large crowd. Whatever the reason,Continue reading “Independence Day Egg Bash”

Memorial Day Chicken Bacon Salad

Just in time for your holiday weekend (if you’re in the US) a quick and delicious salad to accompany your burgers, steaks, etc. This is a great way to use leftover roast chicken and/or another use for that package of bacon you’re opening for bacon cheeseburgers this weekend. If your spouse permits, adding shallots, onions,Continue reading “Memorial Day Chicken Bacon Salad”

KKF Fast Food: Bacon & Cheese Quiche

Even when you love to cook, there are some days you are just energy-zapped or plain too busy to spend time making a delicious meal. Takeout is tempting you. A pizza delivery is just a phone call away. Just say no! When I’m feeling like this, I often turn to a crustless quiche. It’s easy,Continue reading “KKF Fast Food: Bacon & Cheese Quiche”

KKF Fast Food: Shrimp and Crab Bisque

I love soup. Any kind of soup. If I can eat it with a spoon, it must be good. One of my all-time favorites is lobster bisque, which I have not yet attempted at home. I’m a bit scared of spoiling all my wonderful lobster bisque memories by butchering it. Shrimp, on the other hand,Continue reading “KKF Fast Food: Shrimp and Crab Bisque”
