Coquito Goes Ballistic

Coquito is quite possibly my favorite holiday drink. In Spanish, it translates to “little coconut,” and is most commonly referred to in the US as Puerto Rican Eggnog. Which is funny because in all of the family recipes I’ve collected from Puerto Rican friends over the years, I’ve never actually seen eggs as an ingredient. […]

Millionaire’s Shortbread

It’s officially cookie baking season, and every Friday up to Christmas I will be featuring a cookie or confection that will be perfect for a keto-style cookie bake. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled and don’t miss out on these holiday goodies! This week’s recipe is a huge winner, y’all. Crumbly shortbread topped with […]

Tarted Up Cranberry Sauce (Pet friendly!)

Let’s face it: Xylitol, which is the best behaving of the keto-friendly sugar alcohols, is not something many pet owners like keeping around. For dogs, especially, it can be deadly, even if it’s an accidental taste from a small plop that escaped your plate. Not that I expect anyone’s pets to be lapping up the […]

Ballistic Caramel Sauce

This delightful sauce is quick and pretty easy. It comes together in under 15 minutes, and is sufficiently thick and gooey: just like caramel sauce should be! Notes: This will hold up for re-use in the fridge, but like most caramels, it tends to harden under refrigeration. As with most things, it’s best when used […]

Faux Apple Pie

This recipe was inspired by a passing comment made by my sister-in-law at Thanksgiving (love you, Megs!). We’d swung by their house to visit later in the evening (post our keto feast), and they were serving dessert. She said something along the lines of how there was little that was as enjoyable as a […]

Saucy Ginger Pumpkin Pie

This pie was a labor of love, y’all. I wanted to create something really special for you fine folks to share this year at Thanksgiving, but not so crazy as to flip out any non-keto relatives dead set on the old standards. What I came up with is quite the delight! Saucy Ginger Pumpkin Pie […]

Southern Cracklin’ Cornbread Dressing

I ain’t gonna lie. I missed cornbread dressing. Specifically, my Granny’s cornbread dressing. Every Southern family has their own little twist on this classic, and Granny is no exception. Over time, and through some stroke of genius, she started adding canned diced green chilies to her recipe. I have no idea why, she just does, […]

Harvest Hash

This one goes out to all my keto peeps that, for one reason or another, don’t do almond or coconut flour. Holiday season will be rapidly upon us, and while stuffing is a perpetual holiday table favorite, keto stuffing (like my Southern Cracklin’ Cornbread Dressing) tends to rely heavily on almond and/or coconut flour to […]

Salted Caramel Pumpkin Latte

Pumpkin Spice is a major thing here in the States, basically from September through February. Maybe even into March. Pumpkin Spice season is practically a national event at this point, and doubly so for the flavoring in coffee. It’s available at every, single coffee shop, and in every brand of loose coffee and/or instant […]

Slow Cooker Beef and Bacon Chili

This is a delicious and fairly easy to assemble dish that is always a family pleaser. Super flavorful without being super spicy, and the bacon adds not only a really nice taste, but also that little bit of bite beanless chili is usually missing. I love making this on days when I have a lot […]

Upside Down Pumpkin Pie (aka, Pumpkin Crunch Bars)

It’s October, and in most of the Northern Hemisphere (Florida excluded) that means it’s Fall. Winds are blowing, leaves are falling, temps are dropping, and folks are starting to get into the changing of the seasons. Which means mums and pumpkins. Lots and lots of pumpkins. The yearly pumpkin craze is a huge phenomenon, so […]

Slow Cooker Fauxtato Stroganoff Chowder

This is quite the treat! It’s warm and comforting, and the radishes stand in quite well for potato in this classically carby dish. If you prefer, you may use daikon radishes here, but I went with plain old red radish and just peeled them well. Slow Cooker Fauxtato Stroganoff was a hit with my family, […]
