I have been on a Brie kick lately. Once you get on that train, it’s hard to get off it because Brie is so buttery and wonderfully gooey. When topped with some kind of topping and paired with some Keto crackers (and don’t forget a glass of wine), you have the beginnings of a perfect […]

Hot Spinach and Artichoke dip is a favorite at any party or gathering. Served it with crudites, crackers or tortilla chips, the result is always the same…..Delicious! You won’t be able to stop eating this one! Ingredients 1/2 bag frozen spinach, thawed and water squeezed out 8 oz. cream cheese, slightly softened 1/2 cup sour […]

I usually make these empanadas for Christmas when we gather with extended family. These empanadas are not Keto or low-carb, but everyone always looks forward to them. The original recipe comes from Dave Lieberman who used to have a presence on the Food Network. The pineapple salsa is definitely what makes these empanadas special. Ingredients […]

The white cheese in this queso recipe is not what sets this dip apart from one made with yellow cheese. The difference is all the other stuff that goes in it. Want to test my theory? Please…be my guest! Ingredients 1/2 onion, small dice 1 jalapeno, minced or 1 can chopped green chiles or both […]

This recipe is adapted from a Pioneer Woman recipe that I found on her website. You can find the original recipe here. You could say I KETO-IZED it!! Ingredients 1 block cream cheese, softened 2 small logs goat cheese (I used the Aldi goat cheese logs that are small) 1 cup chopped fresh blueberries 1 […]

This recipe was originally a Paula Deen recipe from her Foodnetwork show that I got years ago. I changed it a little bit to suit the ingredients I had on hand at the time. The curry dip sounds a bit funky, but it is actually quite good and pairs well with blanched asparagus. If you […]

Enjoy this flavorful, hot dip with Keto crackers, bell peppers or tortilla chips. This recipe makes a lot, so you can snack on this throughout the week, but it is delicious, so I’m sure you won’t mind it! Ingredients 1 block cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1 1/2 cups canned chicken, drained 1/2 cup […]

I am not a fan of pimento cheese. I know, I know….it’s a southern delicacy. I love cheese and all the other ingredients that go into pimento cheese, but not all together in one place. When I don’t like a certain kind of food, I always try to find a way to make myself like […]

I have loved shrimp since I was about 8 years old. I think I am the only person in my family who likes it. My father kind of liked shrimp, but he was born and raised in western Kentucky as a landlubber. He didn’t hate shrimp, but it wasn’t something that he would order off […]
