Sauteed Steak Toppers

Sauteed onions and garlic with crushed red peppers makes for the most wonderful topping on a steak. My my, oh my!  This is why I love a low carb way of eating so darn much.  I get to not only eat steak but, eat steak topped with deliciously caramelized onions in butter and avocado oil.  No wonder why I have been able to stay on a low carb way of eating (WOE) for so many years.  Gone long ago are the days when I would eat tasteless low-fat food.  
Do not ever let anyone tell you that a keto and low carb diet is not sustainable. Who wouldn't enjoy eating this way on a regular basis?

Cloud Bread 101 Tutorial

At some time or another after folks start a low carb way of eating, they soon hear about, "Cloud Bread".  For many of us, making Cloud Bread is our first flirtation with low carb and keto baking.  Why?  Because we miss sandwiches AND Cloud Bread is extremely low in carbs and it is an allowable food on many introduction phases of a low carb diet. 
One of the questions I get asked most often is, "How do you get your Cloud Bread to look like that?  Mine do not turn out right".
I've been making Cloud Bread for many years.  I started a low carb diet about 14 years ago.  So I don't remember exactly when I made my first batch of Cloud Bread, but I remember being one happy girl that I could eat my all time favorite, Reuben Sandwich. Cloud Bread made it pretty darn enjo…

Low Carb Single Serving Whipped Cream

As a kid I use to think that all whipped cream came from a spray can or you know, that large white tub with a blue and white label that your mother bought a ton of around the holidays.  When I became an adult and started to become a more adventurous home cook, little did I know that a delicious version could be made quickly by hand.  Then once I started a low carb diet it only became better.  Whipped Cream could actually be made without adding sugar to it.  And it's absolutely creamy AND delicious!
Homemade whipped cream is one of those foods that is not only extremely easy to make from scratch, but it takes up so very little time and it's better.  There are 3 ingredients in this recipe.  Next time you go to the store take a look at the prepackaged version.  It's a chemical c…

Porterhouse for 2 with Onion Mustard sauce

What sets a ho-hum steak apart from an "Out of this World" steak?  Seasoning!  And of course, not over cooking it.  Porterhouse is one of our faves because it's perfect for 2.  My husband eats the larger strip side and I eat the smaller filet side.  A Porterhouse steak is a beautiful YET pricey piece of meat so you don't want to ruin it by not properly cooking it.  I have found the meat thermometer from OXO to be the best and the most user friendly.  It has just enough bells and whistles to be useful but not too many to be confusing.  I also love it's long compact shape because it fits perfectly at the front of any kitchen drawer and the long cord wraps around the device and the probe tucks neatly inside. 
Being on a keto/low carb diet not only allows but encourages…
