Crispy Boneless Chicken Thighs
While on keto, lots op people stay away from too much chicken since it’s low in fat and high in protein.

Microwave Quick Bread
Now this title sounds appetizing… NOT! LOL. Nope, it didn’t to me either when I first saw it, but just as with mug cakes and all “shortcut” cooking recipes, it had to be tried and tested in my lab 😉 It turned out to be a winner! Nice and quick, only a few ingredients andContinue reading “Microwave Quick Bread”
Chicken Chowder
I love soup, although I have not been a fan of the creamy kind though. I lived in New England for a while (Middletown, RI) and of course there were many occasions that the infamous Clam Chowder was served. Also, not a fan (sorry!!!). Anyway, today I am posting a recipe that has everything inContinue reading “Chicken Chowder”
Turkey Pesto Meatballs
This is a recipe, albeit tweaked, that I got got from one of my favorite non keto cookbooks; “Weelicious” by Catherine McCord.

The original recipe stated that you wouldn’t miss the beans at all in this recipe…..

Bread! These taste like wheat bread! I’m not kidding… this is the closest to bread any keto recipe I have ever tried has come.

This is the ultimate “I’m having a long busy day and I won’t have time for dinner” recipe. I made this roast the other day when I planned a day out to a harvest festival with the kids.

Quick Pumpkin Spice Latte
I am so bummed that Starbucks doesn’t make a sugar free version of their Pumpkin Spice flavoring! Coffee is my thing, and whenever I want or need a little break I love to treat myself to a large coffee from a coffeeshop. Pumpkin is also my thing, and the two combined are coffee heaven! Anyway,Continue reading “Quick Pumpkin Spice Latte”
Coconut Chicken Curry
We’re getting ready for darker and colder nights and my favorite thing to do when that happens is to make soups and stews.

It’s also a great make ahead dish that is easily reheatedContinue reading “Coconut Chicken Curry”
Pumpkin Munchkins
Gingerbread and Speculoos got married and had a baby! That’s what these taste like, no kidding!

I had to tweak theContinue reading “Pumpkin Munchkins”

To be honest, I have never had a real Hushpuppy in my life… I grew up in The Netherlands and we don’t have them there. The author of this recipe says these are pretty darn close to the real thing and since she has given me TONS of delicious spot on recipes, I tend toContinue reading “Hushpuppies”
Mozzarella Pesto Pizza
I like to make meals from scratch, but let’s face it, for most of us juggling all the things (yes, ALL lol) life does not (always) leave us with enough time to stand in the kitchen every day and create such master pieces 😉 Add virtual school and, on Thursday evenings, Hockey nights for meContinue reading “Mozzarella Pesto Pizza”

The air fryer, one of my most used appliances in a normal week (meaning, when I am not working on a themed recipe week like this one!). I use it for almost everything… better yet; I have two of them!
