Sauerkraut was an acquired taste for me. I managed to avoid it throughout my childhood and actually I likely never even tried it – until I met my husband-to-be. It was a tradition in his Slovenian family that one must eat pork and sauerkraut on New Year’s Day for good luck. So my first New […]

Zucchini Bread
An easy low-carb twist on an old favorite using coconut flour. I have a love/hate relationship with zucchini. As a kid we grew it in the garden and my mom would slice it up, coat it with flour, and pan-fry it. I hated it. But then she started making zucchini bread and I couldn’t get […]
Tomato Pie
Low-carb keto version of an old family favorite! Many many years ago I compiled a family cookbook. With the help of several family members, we wrote (yes, wrote! There was no email back then!) to every member of our extended family asking for their favorite recipes. We got a tremendous response! And thus was born […]
BBQ Pork Ribs
In celebration of National BBQ Day we are grilling up some delicious grilled BBQ ribs! It was a good thing that we bought a nice rack of pork ribs last week at the Farmer’s Market because there were “slim pickings” this week. With this being such a beautiful weekend and the pandemic-induced popularity of local […]
Caprese Salad
Simple healthy tomato, basil, and mozzarella salad with fresh ingredients! I first tasted a version of this salad at a potluck and I was hooked! Although you can get the ingredients any time of year, it is always best use them in season – especially the tomatoes. Cherry or grape tomatoes can be grown in […]
Kalua Pig
Easy 3-ingredient smoky pulled pork! Hawaii is one of my most favorite places on earth. If you have ever been to a Hawaiian luau, you have probably had Kalua pig. A whole pig is smoked for many hours in a sand pit with sea salt, banana leaves and koa wood. Now you can make the same delicious […]
Antipasto Salad
Low-carb and keto friendly mediterranean salad that you can make anywhere! I have a job that requires me to travel pretty often so I spend a LOT of time in hotel rooms. I don’t use my travel as an excuse to eat unhealthy so this calls for some serious creativity. My first stop when I […]
Kat-Sup: homemade sugar-free ketchup
Making homemade – looking for opportunity in the midst of a crisis I bought a planner this year. In an attempt to try to keep track of my busy schedule I thought I would try an actual paper, beautifully spiral-bound planner. I hadn’t used one in years because I thought that I should be able […]
Instant Pot Breakfast Casserole – Keto, Low-carb
I am not going to say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day – because I don’t believe it is. But that is another subject for another time. However I do LOVE breakfast foods, and they don’t have to be just for breakfast! Most breakfasts include eggs and eggs are a perfect […]
Keto Scotch Eggs
I had my first scotch egg in a small gastropub in my hometown. A hard-boiled egg wrapped in sausage, coated in breading, and fried. Wow! They served it with a mustard sauce and pickles. It was amazing! Since then I have been trying to perfect a low-carb, keto version without the breading. It is actually […]
