Sugar Free Thai Tea with Chia Seeds (fauxba)

Back in the day, I could easily kill one of these drinks any time I’d go out for Thai food. If you are new to thai tea – it is an ultra sweet herbal black tea that is mixed with spices and typically combined with heavy cream and LOTS of sugar. This version is sugar free, has a pack of fiber, and is super easy to make. The chia seeds add a nice texture to the drink and gives it a chew to help you get boba vibes – which is why we call it fauxba 🙂

Keto Sausage McGriddle Pancakes

There are two things that have been floating our boat lately 1) pancakes 2)tiny ass kitchen gadgets. We got a mini griddle yesterday and HOLY SHIZ it is amazing. We knew that this was going to be the perfect contraption for our sausage stuffed pancakes. Pour, stuff, cook, eat. It can’t get simpler than that. We partnered with our ketobaes over at the Sola Company to incorporate one of our favorite sugar replacements into this recipe. We recently made churro pancakes with the same sweetener and really really liked how it blended with the batter so we had to try out another type of pancake with it.

These pancakes are stuffed with zero carb breakfast sausage patties and griddled to perfection. It’s like eating flattened McGriddles from good ole Mickey D’s without the guilt. Tuck in a fried egg and you’re GOLDEN. Check out the steps below and let us know how it goes for you!

Extra Crispy Fried Egg

Does anyone else like their eggs exxxxxtra crispy?? One of our favorite ways to fried eggs is to top them with furikake seasoning and sriracha. Furikake seasoning is a Japanese rice seasoning that typically consists of nori bits, sesame seeds, and a punch of flavor. Another way we love to eat extra crispy eggs is with maggi seasoning and thai chilis – that combo is fire!

The key to extra crispy eggs is to heat a non stick pan on high heat. Then pour about 2-3 tablespoons of avocado oil into the pan and immediately crack the egg. Use a spoon to ladle hot oil on the egg whites until they are full cooked, the bottom of the egg is golden brown, and the yolk is the runniness level that you like.

Easter Charcuterie

Brunch is always one of the first things that comes to mind when we think of Easter festivities. We love these types of boards because they are so easy create, include tons of options for keto & non-keto peeps, and is an easy way to use the odds n ends from your pantry and fridge.

Here are some tips and tricks for an on-point charKETOrie:

  1. Start with a good dip – we anchor our boards around dips. For this board, we chose a cucumber dill yogurt dip. Light, fresh, and low on calories and carbs.
  2. Quail eggs – on theme, super cute, and easy to eat. We purchase ours pre-cooked in the cans, rinse them, and then have sauces available to dip them in. We personally like good ole salt n pepper, but everything but the bagel seasoning is great to toss them in.
  3. Radishes, mini peppers, broccoli, cucumbers, and sugar snap peas are your friend. These are low in carbs and are a great alternative to carrots.
  4. Cheese crisps are perfect cracker alternatives. We use the Parmesan crisps from Target.
  5. Two hard, two soft – cheeses that is. Cheddar, provolone, and goat cheeses are perfect to munch on and add a good balance to the neutral taste of the crudite items.
  6. Nuts, nuts, and more nuts. These are the perfect items to scatter on your board to fill the gaps. Pistachios are an easy choice, cause who doesn’t love pistachios?
  7. Herbs – a beautiful and fragrant way to jazz things up aesthetically.
  8. COLOR & Textures – the key to a beautiful board. Since flowers are so cheap during the spring time, we like to add a few here and there for a good pop! We like to choose veggies that vary in colors to mix it up. We sprinkled dried raspberries and pomegranate seeds to tie everything together.
  9. Cured meats are life. These hold up well without refrigeration and are perfect with cheese and nuts. We like prosciutto and salami – cheap, easy, crowd favorites.
  10. Asymmetry is A-OK – we love the look of an imperfect board because you don’t have to stay within the lines and can be creative with your color combos!

There are so many ways to piece together a beautiful board for your Easter brunch. We hope this one can give you some inspo!

Keto Hacks Galore

One of the things that we love about the Keto lifestyle are the substitutions or modifications we can make that can realistically be sustained long term. Like will cauliflower rice ever be able to fill the void of jasmine rice for us? Probably not, but it serves its purpose as a flavor neutralizer underneath whatever flavorful dish is on top of it.

When we first started Keto, there weren’t many tips and tricks floating around at our disposal – luckily, we came across a super awesome Instagram account that offered many hacks to get us through this new way of eating. @ketohackershop is one of our favorite accounts to follow because the information is easy to process and it’s presented in a simple, yet effective way. We’ve noticed that people who are new to this way of eating can get very discouraged or overwhelmed at the beginning due to the amount of information being thrown their way. This account simplifies the concepts and lays out a lot of information for the masses. There are many recipes for keto versions of comfort food and tips on how to order fast food, the keto way. If you are just starting keto or know someone who could use some guidelines, this is just a highly recommended resource.

Below are some examples of the helpful content that can be found on this account:
