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.

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 →

I love making dessert pizzas! With a little bit of thought, I’m pretty sure that you can come up with a suitable combination to make any family happy!

What can I say? When I find strawberries on sale – I buy them regardless of the season! This recipe is relatively simple and very customizable!

Keto Raspberry Caramel bars

Caramel has always been one of those flavors I love and going Keto certainly didn’t change that! It did take me quite a while to attempt making a homemade caramel sauce..but now that I’ve tried it a couple of times I really wish I had done so sooner! The homemade caramel I use in these Keto raspberry caramel bars takes a bit of time but it’s even better than the store-bought sugar-laden versions I used to love! Pairing the caramel with raspberries makes it even better. If raspberries aren’t your favorite then I expect strawberries, blueberries or blackberries would be just as delicious!

Cookies are an age-old treat that pretty much everyone loves! That doesn’t change just because you start eating healthier and following a Keto way of eating! In fact, missing cookies and other sweet treats are probably one of the top reasons that people have a hard time sticking with new ways of eating. There is no doubt that Keto can be hard at first, especially if you are following a stricter version of the diet. Having keto-friendly treats on hand, like these keto maple cookies, can make a wonderful difference! These cookies are very simple to make with a delicious fall flavor that everyone isRead More →

Keto mini caramel apple crumbles

The weather is finally starting to cool off around here and I can’t say I’m disappointed about that at all! Not only does this mean the end of our scorching summer temperatures but it’s also time to start breaking out the fall flavors! One of my favorite fall flavors is anything apple-related. Unfortunately, apples are pretty far from being keto-friendly! Thankfully there are ways to substitute almost everything in Keto and apples are no exception. These keto mini caramel apple crumbles are actually created using a type of squash. Yes, that right – squash! The chayote squash to be exact. Sounds strange I know, butRead More →
