Having an easy, homemade salad dressing makes a great real food kitchen staple. Before I changed my diet the only salad dressing I would use was ranch. Typically ranch dressing in a bottle from the store (and when you make it yourself at home from the packet) contains a lot of non-real food/inflammatory ingredients. So I…
BLT Wraps (Grain Free and Low Carb)
After making the Blueberry Breakfast Wraps I wanted to come up with a savory version of the wrap. It was nice to be able to add some variety to my breakfast and now it was time to do the same for lunch and/or dinner. BLT’s are my favorite way to enjoy bacon…especially when it’s tomato…

Smoky Citrus Pulled Pork
One of our favorite meals to make is pulled pork in the slow cooker. It’s so easy to throw all of the ingredients into the slow cooker and come back 12 hours later to tender and juicy pulled pork. I definitely recommend a bone-in Boston butt to help maintain the juiciness of the pork. Also,…
Chocolate and Bacon Candies (Low Carb and Paleo Friendly)
I recently polled the Living Low Carb…One Day at a Time Facebook fans and asked “What’s better than bacon?” There were a ton of responses, but the most common answer was chocolate. I admit to loving chocolate just as much, if not more than bacon. To my surprise, a few followers suggested that the combination…
Bacon Wrapped Green Beans
I’m definitely a fan of wrapping things in bacon! As you can tell from my Bacon Wrapped Chicken Thighs and my Bacon Wrapped Butternut Squash Bites. The salty bacon adds great flavor to meats and veggies. It really turns a boring dish into something more exciting and delicious. These Bacon Wrapped Green Beans make a…
Fried "Rice" (Low Carb and Paleo)
I’ve really been in the mood for Fried Rice lately, but since Chinese take-out is off limits I needed to use my favorite rice substitute. Cauli-rice makes a wonderful replacement for rice because it takes on flavors really well. In the past, I’ve used cauli-rice to make Italian Wedding Soup, Low Carb Sushi, and Chicken,…

All you have to do it season the chicken, wrap it with bacon, and throw it in the oven. The results are juicy and flavorful chicken. Perfect for a weeknight dinner! Use your…

It has been perfect in some of my favorites side dishes (here and here). I decided to pair my favorite vegetable of the moment with bacon. …

Low Carb Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Hamburgers
My latest cooking adventure is Low Carb Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Hamburgers. It had been awhile since I had a juicy burger, but I was a little hesitant to make one at home. Normally my burgers end up dry and taste like cardboard…YUCK! The perfect solution to this was to stuff the burgers full of…
