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)”

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”

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”
Frittata with Kale, Mushroom and Ghee
I am convinced that Ghee makes everything better… seriously, it’s my new bacon. For those of you who don’t know what Ghee is: It’s clarified butter. But what does that mean? Ghee is butter but the water and milk solids have been removed. Therefor it has a slightly higher fat content gram for gram thanContinue reading “Frittata with Kale, Mushroom and Ghee”
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. However, chicken thighs are a more fatty part of the chicken and when you leave the skin on and sear them in tallow, ghee or oil, you get enough fat in your dish toContinue reading “Crispy Boneless Chicken Thighs”

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 recipe has been tweaked to adhere by our low carb standards though!) I bought it as soon as it came out in 2012 (when my youngest, Charlie, was born) and have beenContinue reading “Turkey Pesto Meatballs”
