  • Egg McDad

    Egg McDad

    Nearly went out to my local coffee shop for one of their breakfast sandwiches (a commuting standby when I was going into the office every day) when I realized I could make one at home. Using a leftover sausage patty, a fried egg, and a slice of American cheese, I…

  • Chaffles (aka Keto waffles)

    Chaffles (aka Keto waffles)

    Chaffles are double good. They’re a way for Keto dieters like me, who can’t get used to almond flour, to use it anyway. And, they let Ketoistas have something other than bacon and eggs for breakfast — Keto waffles no less. I think I’ve always preferred the crispy outside and…

  • Bacon

    Bacon

    Bacon—the almost perfect meat—if you eat pork, of course. Delicious and versatile. I’ve always loved bacon, but appreciate it much more now because 1) it’s a Keto staple and 2) I’ve finally discovered the best bacon to buy and the best way to cook it.

    Best banana bread

    The best thing about banana bread may be what a great way it is to use up over-ripe bananas. Try this recipe even if you don’t have that problem.

  • Dad’s scrambled eggs

    Dad’s scrambled eggs

    Everyone says these are really good scrambled eggs (even the kids). Tasty, fluffy, buttery, etc. So, they have become the gold standard around our house. The technique is the most important thing here. Better eggs really do taste better, I think. Better = organic, really free-range. Larger, darker-yellow yolks, no…

  • Frenchified Toast

    Frenchified Toast

    The only thing French about this recipe is the suggestion to use French bread.
