My husband and I have been low carb and keto for over a year now, and one thing that is hard for us is hosting get togethers. We have a lot of friends and family who do not eat the same way we do, so it is hard to find a good combination of foods to serve – without tempting ourselves. So I came up with this delicious keto appetizer recipe that I think everyone will love – even those that don’t eat low carb.

Sometimes there is nothing better than simple, well seasoned steak. If you are eating low carb and following the keto diet like I am, this is a great meal choice. There are many ways to cook a steak, but my favorite is just to rub a few spices on it and enjoy. I don’t use a steak sauce or anything like that, which is perfect for the keto lifestyle. 

We love spicy things in our house – so buffalo chicken dip tends to be a Sunday snack for us. But because we are eating keto, that means we can’t use chips to scoop with. My husband always chooses celery stalks, but I prefer Parmesan crisps. Sometimes I make my own, but I often just use the store bought ones (because I can get lazy on weekends, let’s be honest here). 

Easy to customize to your favorite tastes, and something the whole family will love, these Stuffed Chicken Breasts are sure to become a normal part of your meal rotation. We have it at least once a month, and it seems like every time we do, we alter the ingredients depending on what we have in the fridge, or what we feel like that night. You might notice this recipe is pretty similar to my Keto Spinach and Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken, and that is why.

My husband LOVES Mulligatawny soup, but since we are trying to consistently eat keto now, it is something we have had to skip. Normally this soup contains more celery, carrots, white rice, flour, and apples – and well, these don’t exactly qualify as low carb and keto ingredients. Because of this, we decided to make our own version of Mulligatawny soup that is keto approved. Spoiler alert guys, it came out AMAZING! My kids even devoured it!

Game of Thrones is coming back this month and I for one, am over the moon excited. To help celebrate, I came up with a great keto cocktail that you can enjoy while watching every Sunday night. One of my least favorite people in this series – someone I truly love to hate – is King Joffrey. So I though it might be fun to theme this cocktail for his pleasant demise in the series. This drink goes great with the Game of Thrones inspired Dragon Eggs appetizer recipe I shared earlier. 

I have been eating Keto and Low Carb for the last year and a half almost. My husband and I recently decided to try out this egg fast everyone was talking about. The fact that he was going to be doing it with me, made things easier. But, the fact that we have two young kids we still had to cook for, well, that made it a bit harder. In this post I will let you know how we made it through a 5 day egg fast.
