About the chef!!!

Welcome! If you are reading this, there is one of several reasons why:
1. You know me and I urged you come check out my blog or one of the many recipes I hope to eventually have filling the homepage! In this case, Hey, nice to see you again- Enjoy!
2. You don't know me, and probably happened on this blog by chance (or Google)! In this case- nice to meet you and I hope you enjoy my blog!
3. You are a keto beginner or master chef looking for new ethnic tastes, belly-warming comfort food recipes, or you have heard through some wonderful cooking publication that this is THE blog for great-tasting keto recipes. In this case, I should be famous and may not have as much time to dedicate to this blog because I am off opening a chain of restaurants and living my culinary dream! In this case, you better get these recipes fast; they may be copyrighted work only available in a published cookbook soon and you will have to pay a FORTUNE for them!!!

Whatever reason brought you here, my passion in life is all things food. I fondly remember growing up watching my mom cook from scratch every single day and as I grew older, my memories became cooking with her for special holidays and get-togethers.

Since 2017, Del and I have been on a keto lifestyle journey. Since starting keto, we have had many trials and tribulations when it comes to keto cooking, so I am revamping this blog to share our failures, our successes, and all the wonderful foods we discover. I pour all my love into my cooking, every single day and I don't believe this notion has to change because we eat keto now. I aspire to one day open my own restaurant, but until then I have decided to share my love of keto and food with you through my recipe blog!

Although I may occasionally write about something other than cooking, most of all the posts on this site will be my recipes that I have created or happened upon.

Thank you for taking a taste of my culinary world, I sincerely hope you enjoy these tastes as much as I do and that you find some keto tips, tricks and recipes that helped me and my family become healthier and happier!

Me! (after 11 months of keto living and 70 lbs less!)

Olive oil cake with chocolate ganache

The olive oil in this cake makes it super moist, which is hard to achieve when working with coconut flour. Infused olive oils work wonderful in this cake; I have a blood orange infused olive oil that I will substitute into the recipe sometimes. The chocolate ganache is quick and easy, but tastes sublime! Enjoy! 1 cup olive oil 3/4 cup Coconut flour 3/4 cup erythritol 6 large eggs 2 tsp Baking powder 1 1/4 tsp Baking Soda 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 tsp Pink Salt INSTRUCTIONS Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Beat eggs to double the  original volume in another bowl. Add olive oil, and vanilla extract to eggs and combine. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet as you combine. Pour into a greased pan (I used a 9 inch springform pan). Bake at 350 for 30 minutes (until edges will have browned and toothpick comes out clean). Allow to cool completely, then cover in chocolate ganache.  Ganache: 1/2 cup heavy whipping cre...
