We followed Caveman Keto’s recipe for eggs benedict. As we don’t have bacon weaving tools we simply grilled our bacon instead. We also missed off the hollandaise sauce as it turned out to be a bit of disaster as you can see here. [Read more…]
Cauliflower, Cheese, and Bacon Tarts
The recipe for these tarts comes from Mellissa at I Breathe I’m Hungry (original recipe here). I’ve made a few small changes to her recipe – primarily just increasing the volume of cheese and bacon toppings – but you might prefer to scale these back depending on your tastes.
If you’re not keen on cauliflower [Read more…]
Raspberry Protein Shake
This shake was an experiment. Although it was pleasant enough, I have only made it the once so it’s probably fair to say it wasn’t a huge success. However, I feel like it could be really good with a bit of fine tuning. In terms of whey powder, I used Reactive Pure New Zealand brand, which has no flavour added, no sweeteners, and no carbohydrates. [Read more…]
Cream Cheese Pancakes with Strawberries and Cream
This pancake recipe comes from Mellissa at I Breathe I’m Hungry (original recipe here). We changed the sweetener to a liquid one, and we added strawberries and whipped cream for serving.
We were pleasantly surprised at how great these taste – they are ideal for a leisurely weekend brunch. They’re also very easy to make [Read more…]
Bacon and Egg Muffins
These muffins are from Caveman Keto here. We left out the broccoli from his recipe (one of us doesn’t like it) but I think including this or a substitute would improve both the taste and texture of the muffins. We also chose to crumble the bacon into the muffins rather than use the whole pieces as a wrap (both options are mentioned in the original recipe). [Read more…]
Flax Bread
I just recently came across this recipe. Although I didn’t hold out a lot of hope for it (since I haven’t had a lot of success in cooking with ground flaxseed), I decided to try making it because of the great comments people made about it on the site. And I am so pleased I did.
We love this bread! The original recipe refers to the bread as a “focaccia” style, and notes that the texture is rough [Read more…]
Cheesy Spinach Omelette
By 1 Comment
This is a simple, tasty omelette that can be prepared in under ten minutes. You can add additional vegetables if desired (although you may need to partially cook them first depending on what you choose to add). [Read more…]
One Pan Breakfast
This is based on this recipe that we found on reddit. It is very simple to make, easy to clean up after (since it is all made in one pan), and very yummy. It makes a great dish for weekend brunch. [Read more…]
Bacon and Egg Muffins (With Whole Eggs)
By 3 Comments
We adapted these bacon and egg muffins from this recipe from Sin or Slim. We changed a few ingredients (we used spinach instead of tomato, cheddar cheese instead of parmesan, and more bacon instead of ham), and we also quadrupled the recipe so that we could eat the muffins over several days. Everything worked out despite the changes, which should mean that you can make your own changes to suit your tastes. [Read more…]
Cinnamon Vanilla Protein Shake
By 5 Comments
We found this recipe at Sin or Slim and think it is the best flavoured protein shake we have tried so far.
As well as helping the shake taste great, we’ve read that cinnamon supposedly provides some serious health benefits (making this shake a win-win). The shake is [Read more…]
Almond Buns
By 23 Comments
We’ve been looking for substitute bread recipes since we started keto, and have tried a few different ones with varying levels of success. We found this recipe for almond buns here on Caveman Keto’s site, where he has posted the results of the different faux bread recipes he has been trialling.
The recipe was really easy to make and tastes great. [Read more…]
Peanut Butter Bread
By 4 Comments
When we first started keto we couldn’t wait to try this bread as we had read so many comments about how great it was. We saw lots of different recipes, but ended up going with this one.
The bread turned out to be a great disappointment – neither of us liked it. I would go so far as to say [Read more…]
Scrambled Eggs and Crispy Bacon
This is a quick and easy staple for us on keto (although we try not to have it too often to make sure we don’t get sick of it). Everyone probably has their own method for cooking both the eggs and the bacon, but this is how I do it. [Read more…]
Oopsie Rolls
By 6 Comments
We use the recipe that we found here for our oopsie rolls.
The first time I made them I didn’t get them quite right – I don’t think I used enough cream of tartar and I overmixed the egg whites at the final stage. The mixture ended up very runny and the rolls were flat when they came out of the oven. [Read more…]
