Not exactly a recipe, but here’s a little something I made for breakfast the other day – leftovers reheated in little cups made of salami. Just pop the salami in a muffin tin, fill with whatever low-carb, keto-friendly leftover you have on hand, top with cheese, and pop in the a 350 degree oven for ten minutes until the cheese has melted and the leftovers are reheated. More pics after the cut.
Lately, I’ve been attempting more vegetarian dishes in the hopes of finding foods that Ben and I both can eat. Here’s a dish that has been a big hit with him. I’ve made it twice already and he seems to really enjoy it. 🙂
Let’s not kid ourselves: the crust is the best part of the pumpkin pie. It’s typically the best part of any pie. But, if you’re going keto or low-carb or have thing for self-denial, here’s a pretty tasty alternative.
Mushrooms are delicious, but did you know they’re fucking beautiful? Look at these gorgeous motherfuckers from a recent visit to Far West Fungi at the SF Ferry Building. (FYI: This amount of cussing is proportional and appropriate to the beauty of the fungi. I found a chart online or something.)

Got leftover turkey? Here’s a quickie recipe to add some variety to the endless turkey-based meal slog that is the week after Thanksgiving.
Mashed roasted cauliflower with olive oil and fresh basil.
I haven’t posted a recipe in ages. Here’s why: I’ve been cheating on keto like a total jerk. Stuff happened. All kinds of stuff. There were cakes and chips and some champagne. There were bags of mini candies. One time, there was a pizza. Forgive me.
Still, plagued by intermittent guilty feelings and the desire to do anything other than look at a screen, I have managed to cook myself the occasional keto meal over the last few months, and do quickie posts to Instagram. I’ve found that this process provides a pretty satisfying illusion of keeping healthy. Isn’t that what the Internet has taught us: that it’s the illusion that matters? If you’ve got a different takeaway, I don’t know what Internet you’re looking at.
Anywho, how about some pics of some keto meals I made?
Hey, Keto friends. Do you miss desserts? I miss desserts. I miss them so much. I wanna eat a great big bowl of rocky road ice cream on top of a pair of eclairs, topped with some profiteroles and, oh, I dunno… a tub of hot fudge. That sounds like a nice treat.
Anywho, to scratch that dessert itch, I’ve been experimenting with keto-friendly desserts. Here’s my attempt at a chocolate pudding. It’s super simple, super quick, and requires absolutely no cooking! Let me know what you think!
I love meat. I adore it. There is no time of day – sleeping, showering, jury duty – when I couldn’t go for a nice grass-fed ribeye. But, I acknowledge that there are folks out there who prefer their eats a little less “moo” and a lot more “imperceptible sound of plant growth.” In fact, one of those people has been my boyfriend for the past 17 years. (Life is weird sometimes. I’ve learned to stop asking questions.)
So, for him and several of my similarly meat-averse friends, I’ve decided to attempt some vegetarian keto cooking. This spinach soufflĂ© was my first experiment. I thought it was damn delicious, frankly. That boyfriend guy liked it, too.
I couldn’t think of a clever preamble to this recipe. I considered referencing Food, Inc. and the terror of chickens it instilled in me. Then, I considered a reference to the amazing Jacques PĂ©pin, his apparent love of chicken, and the recently released Jacques PĂ©pin: The Art of Craft from the American Masters series.
But, you know what? This is simple food. Let’s give it a simple post. Fuck it.
