However, 29 years of eating carbohydrates is a hard habit to break. So, when my craving hit I want to have a ketogenic option to keep myself from stuffing all the carbs in my face. Enter my ketogenic mozzarella biscuitsYou can also use cheddar cheese. I just happened to have mozzarella in the house. Cheddar cheese will make them taste more like those delicious biscuits...Wed, 20 Jul 2016 22:10:42 +0000https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/low-carb-fried-zucchini-990https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/low-carb-fried-zucchini-990There is just something about fried foods. We all crave them and somehow they make everything ok again, even if just for a moment. The problem with most fried goodies is that they are far from healthy for you. So here is my take on fried zucchini with a low carb flare. The difference in this recipe lies in using coconut flour instead of the usual all-purpose, and using coconut oil for frying in...Wed, 20 Jul 2016 21:56:43 +0000https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/flaxseed-focaccia-bread-985https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/flaxseed-focaccia-bread-985Although I love my keto lifestyle there are a few things that I miss. Bread is certainly one of them. So I set out on a quest to make a healthy low carb bread and discovered this Flaxseed Focaccia Bread. It works great as a grilled cheese sandwich and is also great with just some butter.  You begin by mixing the dry ingredients of roughly ground flaxseed, baking powder,  Italian herb mix, and s...Sun, 17 Jul 2016 15:22:49 +0000https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/asiago-chicken-with-bacon-cream-sauce-936https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/asiago-chicken-with-bacon-cream-sauce-936This dish is so rich and creamy, it is sure to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. My family devoured it! It is very filling, and a little goes a long way, so I would expect some leftovers. I cooked my bacon in the oven. I find it less messy and you get more even cooking. It was all I could do to keep my hubby out of the bacon so I had enough for the recipe. It looked and smelled divine even b...Wed, 06 Jul 2016 13:25:22 +0000https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/beef-meatball-stroganoff-917https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/beef-meatball-stroganoff-917Oh my goodness, this dinner was delicious! It was so good my husband went back for thirds. Even my 5 year old had seconds, which should tell you something, considering if it's not a chicken nugget or pizza he usually has nothing to do with it.It takes a bit of effort with all the switching of ingredients in and out of the pan, but I promise it is worth it.It also smells heavenly while it is coo...Fri, 01 Jul 2016 19:49:51 +0000https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/choco-nut-fat-bombs-836https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/choco-nut-fat-bombs-836I have been completely obsessed with these decadent chocolate, almond butter fat bombs. They are sinfully delicious but without the guilt.You can roll them in any topping of your choice. I chose to use only cocoa powder. You can also use peanut butter instead of almond butter if you wish.These are a bit dangerous, in my opinion. They are healthy in moderation, but it is difficult to stop yourse...Mon, 13 Jun 2016 02:22:25 +0000https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/coconut-lime-fat-bombs-823https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/coconut-lime-fat-bombs-823These little beauties are as light and delicious as they look. Now, I know a name like Fat Bomb sounds heavy, and honestly kind of gross, but just trust me here. They are a perfect little treat on a hot day.Sometimes it's difficult to get in the amount of fat you are supposed to consume on the keto diet, all while keeping your protein moderate and your carbs very low. So, we make fat bombs. The...Fri, 10 Jun 2016 13:38:22 +0000https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/avocado-deviled-eggs-816https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/avocado-deviled-eggs-816It's finally cookout season and in my family that means deviled eggs! I am a huge fan of these little babies, but traditional deviled eggs tend to be packed with mayonnaise. So I found myself looking for a healthier alternative. Enter the avocado.Don't get me wrong, mayonnaise fits into the basic Keto guidelines, but it's a lot of calories with not a lot of nutrients.Avocados are filled with he...Wed, 08 Jun 2016 20:35:47 +0000https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/cilantro-lime-chicken-797https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/cilantro-lime-chicken-797There are two types of people in this world, those who love cilantro, and those who want to set it all on fire and rid the world of the offensive herb forever. A bit extreme, I know, but I have never met anyone who stood any middle ground as far as cilantro was concerned. Those who hate it tend to really hate it. I on the other hand,  think it is the most lovely herb ever grown (well, aside fro...Sun, 05 Jun 2016 18:29:22 +0000https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/spinach-and-goat-cheese-stuffed-meatloaf-778https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/spinach-and-goat-cheese-stuffed-meatloaf-778I have been dying to try this recipe since I discovered it. What could be better than rich creamy goat cheese in the middle of a juicy meatloaf?This meal looks and sounds fancy, but in reality, it is a very simple recipe that anyone can do. So go ahead, open a bottle of wine, invite your friends, and prepare to delight them with this impressive dish.You start by mixing the eggs, onion, garlic, ...Fri, 03 Jun 2016 02:24:24 +0000https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/cream-cheese-pancakes-770https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/cream-cheese-pancakes-770I think the one thing I have missed the most since beginning my Ketogenic diet is pancakes. I'm not gonna lie they were a staple in our household. Nothing beats their sweet buttery goodness. However, traditional pancakes are less than good for you. the pancakes alone weigh in at a whopping 20g of sugar and over 40 carbohydrates. Throw in the syrup and you have well over the daily recommended am...Wed, 01 Jun 2016 19:14:41 +0000https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/decadent-keto-fudge-753https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/decadent-keto-fudge-753I recently embarked on a new adventure. I have decided to embrace a ketogenic lifestyle. If you are unfamiliar with the term it simply means eating in such a way that your body begins to run on fat instead of carbohydrates. During this process you eliminate your sugar intake. This has been a serious problem for me. You see, I live for sugar. That is one of the main reasons I gave this lifestyle...Mon, 30 May 2016 22:42:27 +0000https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/bacon-scallion-chicken-salad-735https://niammy.com/creationsandcatastrophes/recipe/bacon-scallion-chicken-salad-735It is no exaggeration when I say, this is the best chicken salad I have ever had. You had me at bacon, but throw in the chicken and mayo and I'm hooked. This recipe is so simple, yet so full of flavor you will have to stop yourself from devouring all four servings in one sitting. I also love this recipe because it is completely customizable. If you don't like garlic leave it out. If you like it...Sun, 29 May 2016 02:38:38 +0000
