WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?

The ketogenic diet (often called keto) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When in ketosis, your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source.

On Keto, you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from Fat, 15 to 25 percent from Protein, and 10 percent from Carbohydrates. You should avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

Keto Crock Pot Broccoli Soup Recipe

Here’s a Fantastic Keto Crockpot Broccoli Soup Recipe that tastes just like the Cheese Sauce my Mom used to make. It’s a great way to get picky eaters to eat their veggies. It’s loaded with Broccoli and Delicious Cheddar Cheese. For something a little more flavorful, try adding a little Havarti or Provolone along with the cheddar. Another way I add flavor to my soups is by switching the butter out for bacon grease. This Recipe can be made with Veggie Stock or Even Water in place of the Chicken Broth, if Preferred. I make my own Chicken Broth, so that means I need to add quite a lot of Salt. If you’re using store bought broth you may not need to add any Salt at all.

The juicy Pork and Prawn / Shrimp Wonton Meatballs are a Delightful Low Carb Twist on an Long Time Favourite. It’s so Flavourful and Delicious that you won’t even miss the wrapper.

How to Make Keto Naked Wonton Soup

To make this Tasty Soup, you boil the chicken broth with the ginger and whole cloves of garlic. Let it simmer for 10 -15 minutes. Then use a food processor to grind up the pealed shrimp and raw ground pork with the sesame oil, cloves of garlic and chopped green onion. Mix it until it’s well combined. You can use a knife and cutting board for this step if you don’t have a food processor.

Preheat your oven, then shape the pork and shrimp mixture into small meatballs. Place the meatballs into a baking dish, then bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until browned. Turn a few times throughout. Remove the pieces of ginger and garlic from the broth, then add the cooked meatballs, the sesame oil and the chopped green onion to the pot. Let simmer for 5 – 10 minutes.

Low Carb Naked Wonton Soup

My Family Loves this Naked Wonton Soup Recipe. When they ask if I could make it again, I’m happy to because it’s so much easier than having to wrap the wontons in a wrapper and I think they taste just as good. I also love how healthy this soup is. Bone broth is so good for you and is a great way to make your meals go a bit farther. Whenever we get a roasted chicken, (which is usually once a week) I boil down the bones in a large pot over medium heat for a few hours. Then I use a strainer and bowl to Separate the liquid from the bones. I save it in the freezer to make soup or sauces with throughout the week.

If you love Low Carb Appetizers, then you’ll want to try out these Bacon Crab Rangoon Fat Bombs. They’re a bite-sized Fat Bomb that’s loaded with flavor and provides a nutritious hit of healthy fats.

Recipe Note:

To Freeze this soup: Freeze the cooked meatballs separate from the broth. Let thaw before reheating.
To make homemade bone broth, boil a chicken carcass/bones in a large pot full of water over medium heat for a few hours. Then I use a strainer and bowl to Separate the liquid from the bones.

I’d choose you again and again. Our Down Syndrome Story

August 9, 2016 by officially gluten free 2 Comments

I’d Choose You, Again and Again. Our Down Syndrome Story.

Hello, Friends, Family and Lovely Readers.

We’ve had a lot going on in our lives in the past few months.

We found out I was Pregnant again in November, which was very exciting news but also a little scary because we lost a baby girl at 24 weeks a few years ago. We didn’t think we had it in us to try again but changed our minds and decided to give it a try. I got pregnant fairly quickly and everything was going wonderfully.

We decided to do genetic testing this time around. I did a blood test (Quad Marker), at 16 weeks. The quad marker test looks for increased chance of birth defects but does not allow the definitive diagnosis of any conditions. The next week we got a call from the Doctors saying that our test came back positive. Based on the results, we were given a 1 in 8 chance of Down Syndrome. We decided to do an amino to find out for sure. This is where we found out we’re having a boy. They also found 2 soft markers for Down Syndrome, a small white spot on his bowel and a smaller than usual nose bone.

A few days later we got a call from the specialist with our results. Our baby boy does have Down Syndrome. The next few days were a blur of emotion and tears. My husband, who has been so wonderful through all of this, and I both knew we would love our little boy no matter what. Our son who is 8 is so excited to be a big brother. It doesn’t matter to him one bit that his little brother is a little bit different. He’ll love him the same way, maybe ever more.

After coming to terms with the fact that our baby has Down Syndrome, all the tears dried up, the sadness changed to worry. 50 % of babies with Downs Syndrome have heart problems. These can be mild problems that fix themselves or they can be very serious issues that require open heart surgery. As well as heart problems, babies with down syndrome can have many other serious health issues. We then had to wait 3 weeks because his heart wasn’t developed enough to tell if there were any issues until 22 weeks.

Fast forward to 22 weeks pregnant. We went in for what will be our 4th ultrasound, fingers crossed that he has no major problems. We did the scan and they found no issues at all. This was the absolute best news. Our boy will face many challenges in his life but heart surgery won’t be one of them. They also found liquid in his tummy which means he is able to swallow, which is another very good sign.

The rest of the pregnancy goes smoothly, until the 38th weeks, were they discover that the placenta isn’t feeding him as well as it should be. He’s a little bit smaller than he should have been for a 38 weeker. We were put on a list for immediate induction. The next day we were admitted into the High Risk Labor ward. Elijah was born with no complications at 4:35 am weighing 5 lb 13 oz.

He’s an absolute Perfect Baby. He barely ever cries and is the cutest little thing you have ever seen. We love him so much, and would choose him again and again.

Life is Good.

Until next time.

Step 2: Place the rice paper into the water one sheet at a time. Soak just until it’s soft enough to work with.

Recipe Notes:

These Baked Apple Pie Rice Paper Rolls can be a little bit tricky to master. The trick is to not get the rice paper too wet or soggy. The paper should still have a little bit of stiffness to it.
You’ll need to turn them several times throughout baking.
You can double up the rice paper if needed. This especially helps if you’re going to deep fry or air fry them instead of baking them.
Be extra careful not to rip the rice paper. If there’s a hole the sugar will leak out and burn on the pan

Easy Gluten Free Dinner Rolls

November 24, 2015 by officially gluten free 5 Comments

Easy Gluten Free Dinner Rolls

These Easy Gluten Free Dinner Rolls are so Light and Fluffy. They make a Great Side for Large Dinners or a Perfect Accompaniment for Soup on a Cold Fall Day. They’re also very Tasty with a little bit of Butter and Jam.

I discovered a trick to making the most amazing Light and Fluffy Buns, Bread and Pizza Crust. It’s so light and fluffy, it could be mistaken for Bread made with wheat flour. So what’s my secret? It’s using Both Traditional and Instant Yeast.

I made my rolls just a little bigger than a golf ball in size but they could be made larger or smaller. The key to these tasty little Dinner Rolls is Butter, and lots of it. I brushed them with butter before and after baking.

Note: Rice Flour can vary from brand to brand. I’ve found that measurements can be different depending on the brand you’re using. The Thai brand which has red writing on the bag is ground finer and can take more than the Indian rice flour that I get at Superstore. Both brands work wonderfully but there is a slight difference in the measurements, as I mentioned. Because of this, I like to add the flour a little a time until the consistency is right.

They’re made with an easy to make Gluten Free Shortbread Cookie Cup Tart and are topped with a light and fluffy No Bake Cheesecake Topping.

The Best Gluten Free Pizza

October 29, 2015 by officially gluten free 16 Comments

The Best Gluten Free Pizza

This is the Best Gluten Free Pizza I’ve had. The Crust is Light and Fluffy and tastes like Regular Pizza. Even my picky eater 9 year old loved it. It is pretty awesome and it’s really simple and easy to make. You won’t want to order Mediocre Gluten Free Pizza from your Local Pizza Shop any more, after you see how Easy and Delicious this Gluten Free Pizza Recipe is.

I use Garlic Butter and salt on my pizza pan, which gives it an amazing texture as well as flavour. If you don’t like garlic or you’re making pizza for children, you can just use plain butter instead. I do a love a plain Pepperoni Pizza but I also love a Pizza loaded with Toppings. I often have trouble deciding which ones to go with but usually end up with Pepperoni, Pineapple and Mushroom. Another one of my favourites is BBQ Chicken Pizza, where you use BBQ Sauce instead of Tomato Sauce, then add Cooked Chicken, Mushroom, Onion and Garlic.

What do you think the Best Gluten Free Pizza toppings are?

UPDATE: Click here for an updated version if this recipe.

Ingredients

1 Cup Lukewarm Water

1 Tbsp Sugar

3 Tsp Yeast

1 1/2 Cups Rice Flour

1/2 Cup Potato Starch

1 Tsp Dried Oregano

1/2 Tsp Salt

1/2 Can of Pizza Sauce

2 Cups Mozzarella Cheese

15 Pieces of Pepperoni

Directions

3. Mince the garlic very small. Melt the butter in the microwave with the minced garlic in the bowl.

4. Brush a pizza pan generously with the garlic butter then sprinkle with salt. Press the dough into the pan with your finger.

5. Spread the pizza sauce over the crust, then add the cheese, then pepperoni.

6. Bake for Approximately 30 -35 Minutes.

Note: I like to switch my oven to broil for the last few minutes to make the pepperoni a little bit crispier.

Makes 1 Pizza.

The Best Gluten Free Stuffing Recipe

I’ve gone without stuffing for the last few years but not this year. This Holiday Season we’re having this delicious Gluten Free Stuffing. I think it’s my favorite part of the whole dinner besides the Pumpkin Pie. I prefer my Gluten Free Stuffing to be more Traditional, So I make make a basic Stuffing without adding a lot to it. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could try adding Sliced Apples and Sausages, Dried Cranberries and Bacon or Pecans and Figs.

When making Gluten Free Stuffing I like to use whatever Gluten Free Bread I have in the freezer, which often varies depending which stores I’ve shopped at. I usually make my stuffing in a baking pan rather than Stuffing it the Turkey. I don’t pre toast or dry out the bread before cooking it. If I was to stuff the stuffing into the turkey I would slightly toast the bread in the oven first.

Recipe Notes:

– Make this gluten free stuffing recipe vegan or vegetarian by using a vegetable stock in place of the chicken/turkey broth.

– Fresh or stale gluten-free bread can be used for this gluten-free stuffing.

– You can use turkey drippings instead of broth. The turkey drippings may be a bit stronger in flavour. Consider adding some water to make it more broth-like.

– If you’d like, you can add sausage to this gluten-free stuffing recipe. If you want to add sausage, simply brown a half pound of sausage and mix it into the stuffing mix before you bake it.

– I don’t pre toast or dry out the bread before cooking it. If I was to stuff the stuffing into the turkey I would slightly toast the bread in the oven first.

– Makes 1 Batch of Gluten Free Stuffing.

Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie

October 7, 2015 by officially gluten free 16 Comments

This Easy to Make Homemade Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie is a long time family favourite! It’s requested every year at Thanksgiving dinner because it’s just so tasty. The recipe uses sweetened condensed milk to sweeten the pumpkin. This makes an already delicious pie even more creamy and delicious. I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine does!

How Do You a Make Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie?

To Make this Pumpkin Pie recipe:

1. Cut the butter into the flour, starch and sugar, mix until well combined. (I use my hands and squish the shortening and flour together until a crumbly mixture forms)

2. Add the egg yolk, milk and vinegar. Mix until a firm dough ball forms. (It will seem to dry at first but just keep mixing it. I like to press it into the bottom of the bowl and sort of knead it like bread dough. A smooth dough will form.) Place the dough wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge for 1/2 – 1 hour.

3. Pre heat oven to 425 F.

4. In a large mixing bowl mix the canned pumpkin with the sweetened condensed milk, egg and cinnamon.

5. On a lightly rice floured piece of parchment paper on your counter, roll out to dough until it’s big enough to cover your pie pan. If the dough breaks or cracks just press it back together with your fingers.

6. Place the rolled out crust into the pie pan then trim the edges. Put the crust in the fridge for another 10 minutes. Then use a fork to poke some holes into the bottom of the crust and fill with the gluten free pumpkin pie filling.

7. Cover the edges with strips of tin foil then, Bake for 15 minutes. Then turn your oven down to 350 F. Bake for approximately another 40-45 minutes. Let cool completely before serving.

Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie

This Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie is always a hit. There’s never leftovers so make sure to get your piece while it lasts. The Light and Flaky Gluten Free Pie Crust is a perfect match for the Creamy Pumpkin Filling. I prefer my Pumpkin Pie with just Cinnamon but if you love Pumpkin Pie Spice then just add 1 Tbsp along with the Cinnamon.

Pie crust can be a little more challenging to make but if you take your time and keep mixing it, a lovely dough ball will form. When I’m rolling the dough out, I press the sides back in as I go. I will do a few rolls with the rolling pin then press it all tightly back together again. then a few more rolls, and so on.

Recipe Note:

– Make sure to use Pumpkin Puree and not Pumpkin Pie Filling. Some of the brands of canned pumpkin pie filling contain wheat flour.

– To get the crust really thin, is to use a piece of parchment paper or a thin plastic mat to roll it out on. It makes it much easier to get the crust really thin and helps when you flip the crust into the pan .

– Another key trick to getting a perfect Gluten Free Butter Pie Crust every time, is to cover the edges with tinfoil while baking. This keeps the crust from getting to dry. One more important factor in making great Pie Crust is keeping the dough cold. Placing the dough in the fridge for an hour before rolling it out and again for 10 minutes before the filling goes into it. This helps keep the crust nice and flaky and not too dry.

– Serve with Whipped Cream.

– This Recipe Makes 1 Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie.

Chicken Zoodle Soup

September 17, 2015 by officially gluten free 14 Comments

Chicken Zoodle Soup

This Simple Low Carb, Chicken Zoodle Soup is made with thinly sliced Zucchini instead of traditional Noodles. You won’t want to make Chicken Soup the same way again. I usually add whatever Vegetables I have in my Fridge or Garden but Celery, Peppers, Peas, Corn, Mushrooms or Squash would also go well in this soup.

Whenever we have a Roasted Chicken, I save the bones to make soup stock with. If I don’t need the stock that week I’ll freeze it in small amounts so I can use it for Stir fry, Soups or just adding a little Flavour to a recipe. Making my own Stock means that I need to add a bit of Salt to get the flavour right but if you’re using a store bought Chicken Stock you may not need to add any at all.

If you have a Veggie Spiralizer to make the Zucchini noodles with, by all means use it. I don’t have one so I like to slice mine really thin with a knife.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp Butter or Cooking Oil

1 Onion

2 Potatoes

3 Carrots

4 Cloves of Garlic

1 Medium Zucchini

1 Cup Cooked Chicken

5-6 Cups Chicken Stock

1 Tbsp Salt (if using store bought chicken stock you may not need to add any salt)

1 Tsp pepper

Directions
