TEX MEX CASSEROLE

TEX MEX CASSEROLE

This dish makes me so happy. It has all my favourite flavours and lots of spice. It’s a low carb take of chili with corn bread. The “chili” part doesn’t have beans, but is packed with peppers and ground beef. The “corn bread” is made 

ORANGE VANILLA CHEESECAKE

ORANGE VANILLA CHEESECAKE

Other than sugar, cheesecake has lots of keto friendly ingredients. The eggs, butter, and cheese are all staples of a low carb diet. Mix in a little sweetener, and you have an everyday dessert. This cheesecake is sweet with hints of vanilla, orange, and almond. 

BREAKFAST BREAD

BREAKFAST BREAD

I took my low carb biscuit recipe and made it into a meal. This is my new go-to breakfast. It has everything in it; spicy sausage, veggies, cheese, all nestled in between a savory herb filled biscuit. I bake it on Sunday and package it 

ROASTED RED PEPPERS & GOAT CHEESE SALAD WITH BASIL DRESSING

ROASTED RED PEPPERS & GOAT CHEESE SALAD WITH BASIL DRESSING

The basil dressing makes this salad. It’s so flavourful and works well with all the other ingredients. You have the creaminess from the goat cheese, the crunch from the pine nuts, the sweetness from the roasted red peppers, and the sharpness from the onions. It’s

SPICY CAESAR SALAD WITH CHICKEN CROUTONS

I ordered a Caesar salad for lunch one day and it was spicy, not chili spicy but it had some sort of heat to it. I asked the waiter what was in the dressing and he said horseradish. What I great idea, so I went 

SEED & SPINACH BISCUITS

SEED & SPINACH BISCUITS

Saturday mornings I meet up with a friend to go swimming. I usually roll out of bed and make my way there picking up a coffee and a bagel on the way. In my attempts to be healthier and lower my carb intake, I created 

CHEESY CHIVE BISCUITS

CHEESY CHIVE BISCUITS

These are similar to my other biscuit recipes but I wanted mini ones that were cheesy. They’re not red lobster biscuits, but are pretty close. They’re also low carb and are the perfect compliment to a soup or stew. They’re also perfect on there own.

ORANGE CARDAMOM ALMOND CAKE

ORANGE CARDAMOM ALMOND CAKE

I am so happy with this cake. It is sugar-free and low carb. Instead of sugar and flour, I used xylitol and almond flour. The cardamom, rosewater, and saffron give it a beautiful aroma with floral notes. It also tastes wonderful. It’s so light and
