Amazing Sugar-Free Slow Cooked Ribs (Keto!)

I love ribs but it’s nearly impossible to find a dry rub or BBQ sauce with no sugar in it. These ribs are amazing – crunchy & flavourful on the outside, moist and succulent on the inside, and sugar-free! You need to prepare for these ribs a couple of days in advance. It’s best toContinue reading “Amazing Sugar-Free Slow Cooked Ribs (Keto!)”

Roasted Italian Vegetables

Roasted vegetables is, in my opinion, the yummiest way to eat vegetables. I bake up a pan then they’re in the fridge for the week to serve on the side of meat, stuffed into a sandwich or thrown in with a salad. Ingredients: 1 red pepper 1 yellow pepper 2 zucchinis 1 sweet onion 4Continue reading “Roasted Italian Vegetables”

Big Batch Beef Chili (with Low Carb Option)

I love big batch cooking because not only do we have 4 kids (although being teenagers with jobs, friends and cars, it’s hit or miss if they actually will be home to eat), but it just gives me my lunches for the whole week that I can grab-and-go to work. This beef chili is oneContinue reading “Big Batch Beef Chili (with Low Carb Option)”

I cook this quiche without a crust to make it low-carb / keto but you can always place it in a pre-made crust for the traditional quiche way. Ingredients: 1 Tbsp olive oil 1/2 onion, chopped 1 (10 oz) package frozen, chopped spinach, thawed and drained (squeeze well to get all the moisture out) JuiceContinue reading “Spinach & Cheese Quiche”
