Lebanese Garlic Cream (Toum)

This is the perfect condiment to go with the Chicken Shawarma I just posted! It’s lighter than the mayo based sauces that are usually served with Shawarma and it’s extremely flavorful without being heavy. Plus.. super easy to whip up 🙂 Ingredients: 2 garlic cloves, crushed 2 tbs fresh lemon juice 1/2 tsp salt 2Continue reading “Lebanese Garlic Cream (Toum)”

Middle Eastern Chicken Shawarma (marinade)

I grew up eating Shawarma; In the Netherlands, where I was born and raised, there are lots of “fast food” restaurants that sell it and serve it with pita bread and mayo based garlic sauce. I have also tried to recreate it many times since it’s such an easy flavorful meal to make that isContinue reading “Middle Eastern Chicken Shawarma (marinade)”

Copycat Homemade Tagalongs

Girl.Scout.Cookies. These are absolutely delicious! The only thing I have changed from the original recipe I found online is that I use almond butter instead of peanut butter. You can use both butters, whatever your taste buds desire, I’m just using almond butter since I’m allergic to peanuts. They look fancy, and they are! ButContinue reading “Copycat Homemade Tagalongs”

Drop Biscuits

It’s one of the items most missed when eating a low carb diet; bread. There are many great bread recipes for a keto lifestyle, but they are usually time consuming and pretty labor intensive to make. What if you have a craving for bread right NOW? (that’s me saying that… often… I want bread, NOW!!Continue reading “Drop Biscuits”

Enjoy! Ingredients 1 stick salted butter (113 g) 1 heaping 1Continue reading “Keto Fudge”

Tartar Sauce

The perfect addition to a fish fry, this condiment is easy to whip up and tastes super decadent. It doesn’t limit itself to the traditional pairing with fish though… I imagine it’ll taste great on any bunless burger or chicken “sandwich” too! Ingredients (makes about 1 cup, 2 tablespoons per serving) 1 cup mayonnaise 1/4Continue reading “Tartar Sauce”

Crab Cakes

I was making Keto Fish Sticks the other day (that reminds me.. I have ro check if those are already on the site; they are amazing!), and while I was looking for Pork Rinds in my pantry for breading I came across 2 cans of lump crab meat that I forgot I had. I figuredContinue reading “Crab Cakes”

Fish Tacos

It’s one of those ultimate street foods right? I promise you won’t feel deprived when you try these instead of the real deal! You can even dress it up with your favorite creamy low carb sauce or street dressing, go crazy 😉 Ingredients (2 servings) 2 low carb tortillas (When picking low carb tortillas goContinue reading “Fish Tacos”

Tuna Boats

Is it just me or do we never sit down for lunch anymore? When I grew up we had lunch break at home instead of at school and my mom always had the table set with bread, cheese, jelly, lunchmeat etc. I loved sitting down with her and relax, chat and eat for that littleContinue reading “Tuna Boats”

Jamie Oliver’s Tomato Salad

One of my favorite chefs! His book “Jamie at home” came out in 2007 and I bought it right away… It has been used ever since and is filled with donkey ears, sticky notes and sticky pages. I love the fact most of his dishes are inspired by Italy and use fresh, seasonal ingredients. ThisContinue reading “Jamie Oliver’s Tomato Salad”
