Doing Keto Defined
This is the simple definition. Keto is an eating hack. By this, I mean it’s something you do to finesse weight loss. It’s not a program you sign up for or pay a subscription fee to. It’s not just another diet that somebody else thought up to take your money.…

Dad’s Keto Chili
One way to make a long-term Keto diet go down easier is to Keto-ize your old favorite recipes. I mean, duh, right? Now that we are Keto veterans, in-it-to-win-it for the third time (!), I’m more interested than ever in making sure my old favs can still be enjoyed without…

Keto re-re-boot
Yes, we are deep into a Keto diet for the third time. It’s working again, and we have new insights to share. Why did we stray? The pandemic and other priorities like bread-baking, dessert experiments, and new restaurant explorations got us off-track. Sound familiar? But here we are back on…

Bread, glorious bread
A tough topic for a Keto fan. What do I do about bread made from wheat flour—with all those carbs? Bread in all its forms is so basic, so universal, so loved. And the bread we know best is made from wheat flour. High in carbs and protein. The must-have…

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…

Pumpkin custard
We’re always looking for Keto desserts. Well, we’re always looking for desserts, and when you’re on Keto—you get it. Make this to welcome fall into your kitchen; I normally only buy pumpkin between October and December. How about you?

The versatile frittata
As you get the hang of home cooking, you get better, or not, at improvisation—making up new recipes or adapting old ones, to your current pantry or today’s whim. I suspect that my grandmother’s claims that she couldn’t pass along her greatest recipes was more about not remembering exactly how…

Italian breakfast casserole
Breakfast casseroles can be really healthy and satisfying. Always a crowd pleaser, like if you’re having a morning-time birthday party or a day-after-the wedding family hangers-on brunch until it’s time for the relatives to get on their way home. The versions with bread are great, but this one and its…

Keto reboot
Lose 50; gain 15; lose 20; g-o-o-o-a-l! For me personally, the very best thing about Keto has been acquiring the knowledge and skill to actually manage my weight. Here’s what I mean. For 30 years or so, since I started being concerned about my weight, I tried this diet and…

Keto forever?
Unlike the other weight-loss programs we’ve tried over the years, “Keto” should be considered a fundamental change in how we choose to eat…forever. Eating Keto is a new way to eat for people who don’t want to be fat anymore, like me. A Keto diet is also, based on my…

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…
