Recently my Family has started following a Low Carb/Keto based diet. The majority of the recipes I post in Diet and Recipes from now on will follow this trend. My kids, however, are allowed to cheat now and then. The odd less then Keto friendly recipe might make an appearance.
There are also still some older recipes listed in here. These were posted before we started following this way of eating. I thought about removing them, but people like them so they are staying.
I will also include posts here regarding diet information and healthy eating habits. Keto will likely be the focus of this information but I firmly believe that everyone should find the diet that works for them. This means that other information might show up once in a while too.
Diet and Recipes is a section of the blog that I really enjoy working on. I love finding new and healthy recipes to share with all of you! The key to keeping up with a new way of eating is feeling like your not on a diet at all!
These pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are great slathered in butter for breakfast or as a quick snack in the afternoon. It’s a bonus that the kids loved them too which is pretty much my benchmark for a good keto recipe. If my sweet-toothed kids like them and can’t tell it’s a keto treat then it’s a winner!Read More →
This keto blueberry cheesecake will definitely be added to our favorite list. It’s the perfect dessert for a hot summer’s dayRead More →
I am always looking for ways to save money and this is especially true for our food costs. Feeding a family of four can be pricy! My attempts to save money on the grocery bill have taken many forms over the years ranging from couponing to list-making & budgeting! We have cut out junk food and recently, thanks to our homesteading journey turned to hunting and raising our own meat. Of course, growing our own garden would be a great way to reduce our vegetable costs at the grocery store… but our garden is not yet producing and it’s going to take some time beforeRead More →
According to research conducted in 2020, it was concluded that eating a healthy diet with the right quantities of proteins supports the body’s immunity. It shows how food plays a massive role in protecting us from diseases, and so it is best to know which foods best support the immune system and the right quantities. If you are wondering which foods those are, below are a few examples to assist you. This is a Collaborative post.

Keto has become a very popular way of eating over the last couple of years and personally, it has done a lot of good for our family’s health and well-being. While it might not be perfect for everyone and I certainly encourage all of your to find and follow a healthy diet that works for you and your lifestyle goals no one should turn away from Keto because they find it confusing or overly expensive. Keto can be done in a simple and budget-friendly way. Here is how our family simplified keto so that it worked for our family. Making Keto Simple This post mayRead More →
Sausage! It’s perfect for breakfast, for dinner and everything in between! We love sausage when it’s roasted with cabbage and of course, it’s amazing with all the fresh eggs we get from our chickens. Making homemade venison sausage seemed like a logical step to take when we started homesteading. It’s just as delicious as the venison jerky we shared earlier but does require a bit more work. Trust me, it’s worth it! *Note – This recipe is for non-smoked sausage although we add some smoke flavor they do have to be cooked thoroughly before eating.

Jerky is one of those snacks that everyone in the family loves. It also happens to be pretty expensive and a lot of people feel that it is either too complicated or too time-consuming to make on their own. While it can be time-consuming I’m happy to say that it is far from complicated! The jerky that we have been making lately is venison jerky but if you don’t have access to deer meat you can substitute beef with similar results. Homemade venison jerky is delicious however and if you can get your hands on some deer I highly suggest giving it a try! ThisRead More →
All vegetables are good for you. At the very least they are all a better choice than candy, soda, and pastries! However, when you are following a Keto based diet there are some vegetables that are better for you than others! For people who are new the keto lifestyle and trying to navigate keto macros, keto sweeteners, and the different types of keto figuring out what types of vegetables are good and which are filled with carbs can be challenging. Here at Tales From Home, we like to try and make things simple. Here are our top ten Keto-friendly vegetables! If you’re looking to plantRead More →
Everyone loves milkshakes! And, St’ Patrick’s Day is the realm of the Shamrock shake. If you love mint and ice cream then this is something you might look forward to year after year. Unfortunately, like all milkshakes, Shamrock shakes are hardly keto. When we choose to follow a healthier way of eating we sometimes leave behind treats we love. Thankfully I have found Keto to be one of the most versatile when it comes to reworking old treats into newer healthier versions. These keto shamrock shakes are no exception! They are not only delicious but super simple to make! Keto Shamrock Shake, St Patrick’s DayRead More →
Before we started following a keto lifestyle and way of eating our family was a big fan of sandwiches. A lot of families are – and with good reason! Sandwiches are easy and cheap to make, highly customizable so even your pickiest kid is happy and there are perfect options for just about every season! Of course, once we ditched the bread sandwiches became a little harder. There are low carb wraps of course, like the ones we use in our keto grilled cheese and mixes like Carbquick can be useful when you want to make a quick hamburger bun. But, when you want somethingRead More →
