Instructions

  • Saute the onions with butter until they are translucent and fragrant. Your heat should be on medium.
  • Add the brown swerve and continue cooking the onions on low until the onions are caramelized. Add a sprinkle of garlic powder.
  • Let the caramelized onions cool for a few minutes – then, add them to the ground beef.
  • Add the Cutdacarb bread crumbs, #basicbae, eggs, heavy cream, and 1/4 cup no sugar bbq sauce to the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly.
  • Add your meat mixture to a baking pan on top of some tin foil and shape it into a loaf (or just stick it into a loaf pan if you have one).
  • Bake at 375 until fully cooked (my toaster oven only took 25 minutes).
  • Once fully cooked, add the remaining bbq sauce on top of the loaf and bake for another 5-10 minutes until it starts to look like a glaze.
  • Enjoy!

Sugar Free Balsamic Glaze

This glaze (or reduction) is perfect drizzled over some mozzarella, grape tomatoes, and basil (hello caprese). Make it even more fun by making a salad on a stick using skewers. Balsamic glaze is also great drizzled over bruschetta, grilled veggies, margarita pizzas, and essentially any summer time fare like berries, goat cheese, crudite, etc!

Sugar Free Balsamic Glaze

This two ingredient recipe is super easy to make and pairs well with many fruits, cheese, and veggies. The consistently should be like a warmed honey.

Olive Garden House Salad Review

I went to the Olive Garden today and was served this unlimited house salad with field greens instead of iceberg lettuce. I liked the taste of it but the texture threw me off because I was expecting the classic American mix. I am hoping this swap was temporary because there was a shortage at the restaurant because you can’t mess with a classic! Update: after some research – due to crop disease, 2020 aftermath, and supply and demand levels – it looks like there is a iceberg lettuce and romaine lettuce shortage. This is causing a huge price increase for stores/restaurants but is not affecting field greens – hence, new Olive Garden house salad for now!

I’m not sure how I feel about this…thoughts??? #lowcarb #olivegarden #salad

One of our favorite keto eating activities is going to KBBQ restaurants and stuffing our faces with loads of unmarinated meats and going ham on Korean KBBQ sides. This salad is inspired by the salads served at many kbbq restaurants. Make it your own by adding your favorite greens or veggies.

Eggfast 101

An egg fast is a short term (3-5 days) way of eating that can help individuals jump in (or back into) a state of ketosis (when the body adjusts from burning glycogen from carbs to burning fat from food and the fat stored in their body). It is essentially a ketogenic diet in its simplest form.

There are many variations on the guidelines for the egg fast, but typically, the meals and snacks consist of only eggs and healthy fats, including full-fat cheese.

The two basic rules are:
1. Eat at least 6 eggs a day, along with a teaspoon of a healthy fat (like butter or coconut oil). We typically just eat when we are hungry and stop when we are full. Some days that looks like 10 eggs, others it might even be one.
2. Six ounces of cheese are allowed.
3. Once the three days are over, it is advised to transition out of the egg fast by slowly incorporating regular keto foods back into your diet. Example: Day 1,2,3 are eggfast days. Day 4 is two eggfast meals and one regular meal. Day 5 is one eggfast meal and two regular meals.

Everyone’s egg fast experience will vary. We have done several rounds of egg fasts, and with each round, we have learned what has worked, and what has not worked for us personally. Modifications we have made are allowing zero calorie/zero carb sweeteners, herbs/seasonings 1g net carb or less, fitting in intermittent fasting, and drinking at least 1 gallon of water a day. The trick to not hating eggs after the three days is to switch up the textures (fried, hard boiled, poached, scrambled, etc).

Sugar Free Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies

OMG ya’ll…these taste just like the grocery store bakery ones…like dare I say almost like the packaged Nestle Toll House cookies too. The trick to these is to really watch them or they will burn easily and also let them cool 100% before digging in or else they will fall apart in your hands.

  • Use a hand mixer or thoroughly mix the butter, egg, vanilla, and sweetener.
  • Add baking powder, almond flour, chocolate chips, and instant pudding mix to the butter mixture and continue mixing until everything is incorporated.
  • Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the cookie dough onto a baking tray. Pro-tip: line the tray with parchment paper for easy clean up.
  • Use a rubber spatula or your fingers to slightly flatten the dough as it will not flatten like a flour/sugar cookie.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees between 5-10 minutes depending on your oven. I use a toaster oven, so the bake time will vary for you. The cookies are ready as soon as you seen any golden color to them. You don’t want them to be golden all over as almond flour can burn quickly.
  • Let them cool completely before eating!

FAQ: “What do you do with your leftover fry oil?”

Well let me answer that question – something we get almost 20 times daily any time we feature a video of us frying food on our Instagram account.

Short answer: we save it and continue using it until it is too dark or gets cloudy.

Here’s the scoop…

Our families have always deep fried foods since before we can even remember. Back in the day, there would be a designated “frying pot” where the oil would sit until someone needed to fry something – nowadays, in our own homes, here is what we do:

  1. Let the oil cool completely.
  2. Place a mesh strainer at the mouth of a large jar and pour the oil in there. You want the big bits to get caught so it doesn’t end up floating around in the jar. The reason you want to strain the oil is so when you reuse the oil, it doesn’t make the oil darker than it needs to be. It also helps keep the oil tasting fresher (in our opinion).
  3. Close the jar and store at room temperature.
  4. We reuse the oil until it becomes a brown color but that is completely up to you. The darker the oil, the darker your food will look after you fry it, so just adjust the amount of times you reuse based on the color and preference you have.

Now some additional questions we know y’all are going to have:

  1. What kind of oil do you use? We like to use avocado oil because it is clean and has a high smoke point. Use what oil you can afford and are comfortable cooking with. Canola oil, peanut oil, and soybean oil are all oils we have fried with – they are just very processed.
  2. How many times do you re-use oil? Depending on what we fry, it’s 5-6 times. If we fry fish, the oil is dunzo because the smell and taste will not go away.
  3. What deep fryer do you recommend?

Sugar Free Pudding Cookies

These are an OG recipe for us because when we jumped back into the keto lifestyle, these kept us afloat as the pounds started to melt off. Now, we aren’t saying these are going to help you shed the lbs, but they will satisfy your sweet tooth so you don’t reach for the sugar filled carbs. For those of you who practice a clean way of eating – THESE ARE NOT FOR YOU. Since this recipe calls for instant pudding powder, we like to call this “dirty keto”, which means there are processed ingredients in the pudding mix – so please keep that in mind as you start gathering the ingredients for these delicious cookies. BY THE WAY – THE COOKIES IN THE FEATURED PHOTO ARE BANANA CREAM PIE FLAVOR AND THEY TASTE LIKE BANANA TAFFY, just sayin’.

The texture of these cookies is soft and chewy, especially if you under cook them like I usually do. I can make 20 cookies from this batch and store them in the fridge to keep them super fresh.

Some notes:

  1. I have no idea if coconut flour will yield the same result – but if you try, know that you it’s a 1:4 coconut to almond ratio.
  2. I use vanilla flavor for chocolate chip cookies. In the past, we have also done pistachio cookies, double chocolate chip cookies as well using pistachio and chocolate pudding packets.

KETO SPRING CLEANING


SPRING HAS SPRUNG KETO BAES! This challenge will run from MARCH 29TH TO FRIDAY APRIL 2ND and will focus on total grams of carbs, upping your step game, and being better with your water intake. Use the hashtag #ketospringcleaning to follow along with other keto baes this week. As a reminder, please consult with your health care provider when you make changes to your diet. We are not nutrition or medical professionals and any suggestions should be taken as opinions.

The guidelines are simple:

  1. Stick to 20g TOTAL carbs or fewer. That means DO NOT SUBTRACT ANY FIBER to get to 20g of total carbs. This also means you will be depending on very low carb foods to get you through the week instead of many processed foods with added fiber or sugar alcohols. This is a great way to refocus your low carb intake and challenge yourself to eat more unprocessed, whole foods.
  2. Aim for 30 minutes of physical activity. Yes, we understand that many of you can barely fit 15 minutes your daily routines between your jobs, families, activities, and general schedule. However, there are many opportunities you can take to fit physical activities, like take the stairs at work, taking a walk during your breaks, parking further away from the entrances if businesses, etc. If you want to achieve something, you’ll make it work.
  3. Try to be consistent with your hydration patterns by hitting at least 100oz of water each day of the challenge. Water is so beneficial on ANY diet, but it’s super helpful when you’re entering a deeper state of ketosis. Your coffee and electrolytes count as water too.

We will support you throughout the week by answering your questions and documenting what we do ourselves to reset for the spring. Follow us on Instagram to watch for story updates, meal ideas, and live q&a sessions.

Before you start, take pictures, measurements, and weigh yourself. This will show you how small changes can make a difference. Make sure you plan ahead by making sure you have plenty of food and ingredient options that will nourish you this week and keep you satiated. Do not plan to wing it the morning of Day 1.

If you need a little TLC because you are new to keto or have never tracked total carbs, here is a sample meal plan with product links to get you through the week. Please note that these are suggestions and you can customize them to ensure success with your reset. If you need more meal ideas, search the #20gtotalreboot hashtag on Instagram to see past meals we have eaten during this type of reset.

10 Pizza Night Ideas

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of Cali’flour Foods. They have truly perfected the cauliflower crust. The pizza crusts and flatbreads they have in their line of products are super clean (meaning there’s not crazy processed ingredients involved) and consists of a very wholesome base: cauliflower, egg whites, and mozzarella. Because of that, they are keto-friendly and perfect for letting you indulge without any of the guilt or repercussions of eating a super carbie meal.

The other day, we received a variety pack containing the Original Italian, Sweet Bell Pepper, and Jalapeño keto pizza crusts along with the sun-dried tomato, Jalapeño, and Original flatbreads. Since we are in the midst of a fridge clean out (this usually happens the final week of each month), we couldn’t wait to get creative in the kitchen and make some pizza to grub on with these as the vessel. P.S. the flatbreads are a great keto bread as well – think sandwich thins.

If you’re interested in purchasing these keto pizza crusts or flatbreads, feel free to visit this link and use KETOBAES for a discount.

Based on what we had in our fridge, we decided on Chicken Alfredo Pizza and a classic Pepperoni Pizza. They were super easy to put together and cook but here are some pro tips after our first round:

  1. Use a crisper tray to pre-bake the flatbreads in your oven or toaster oven. It took 4 minutes for ours to crisp up the flatbreads.
  2. Spray the crisper tray prior to pre-baking the flatbreads with a cooking spray like Pam.
  3. Watch your flatbreads the first time you bake them as oven times and temps will vary.
  4. Add the toppings after you pre-bake the flatbreads (or keto pizza crusts) and bake for an additional 5 minutes. This prevents the keto pizza crust or flatbread from getting soggy.

Here are eight additional ideas for a fun pizza night:Jalapeño Popper Pizza: Jalapeño Keto Pizza Crust + cream cheese, shredded cheddar, green onions, and bacon.

  1. Viral Feta Bake Pizza: Original Italian Keto Pizza Crust + sliced garlic, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, crumbled feta.
  2. Crab Rangoon Pizza: Jalapeño Keto Pizza Crust + cream cheese, imitation crab meat, mozzarella cheese, green onions, sweet chili sauce.
  3. Taco Pizza: Sweet Bell Pepper Keto Pizza Crust + taco sauce, Mexican cheese blend, taco meat, finished off with fresh lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and sour cream.
  4. Chicken Tender Pizza: Jalapeño Keto Pizza Crust + shredded cheddar, chopped chicken tenders, mozzarella, honey mustard, green onions.
  5. Buffalo Chicken Pizza: Sweet Bell Pepper Keto Pizza Crust+ cream cheese, mozzarella, shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, blue cheese crumbles, celery
  6. Cheeseburger Pizza: Jalapeño Keto Pizza Crust + ketchup, shredded cheddar, ground beef, pickles, onions, tomatoes, topped with fresh lettuce
  7. BLT Pizza: Original Flatbread (only thing that needs to be baked) + mayo, bacon, shredded cheddar, lettuce, chopped tomatoes
  8. Everything but the Kitchen Sink Pizza: Original Italian Keto Pizza Crust + pizza sauce, any shredded cheese, chopped veggies, and any remaining leftover proteins in your fridge.
