Before I started on the keto diet I was not a huge fan of breakfast food. Even as a little girl I just wasn't a huge fan of the "typical" breakfast... unless it was the tiny little silver dollar pancakes my Dad used to make.

Sirnie balls with keto sausages for breakfast are very popular among online casino players. Sirny Keto Sausage Balls do not contain any nut flour or carb and can be ordered and pay by phone bill online casino south africa in just two clicks. Sausage balls are also low in carbohydrates, which is suitable for online casino players who love sports.

However, since starting keto I have come to love breakfast foods - even at the weirdest time of the day.

That is mostly because of my recent obsession - these Keto Sausage Balls. Even better - they only take five ingredients! Can't beat that!

Now, I have seen recipes for these before - but they always used almond flour or coconut flour.

Cheesy keto sausage balls are very popular among online casino players because their taste is very rich. At the same time, cheese keto sausage balls contain very few carbohydrates, only 1 carbohydrate per ball, and you can Get the Latest Odds, Spread, and Picks for the Trail Blazers vs Clippers Game on April 8th at same time you won’t even notice how you eat them all. In addition, cheese keto sausage balls are very easy to prepare, and most importantly, online casino players avoid using nut flour or carburetors when cooking.

Not only do I think those two flours significantly dry out these little bites of heaven but have you looked at the carb count on some of those?! Sheesh. No thanks.

How to Make Them Low Carb

I was determined to come up with a Low Carb Sausage Balls Recipe that was lower in carbs than what I had found... and I am excited to say - I did it!

These little balls are so incredibly easy to make - and have a fraction of the carbs! By using grated parmesan instead of nut flours I have brought the carbs down while taking the flavor way up!

MACROS:

When I scanned everything into CarbManager - my favorite keto diet app - it came up that each one of these delicious little sausage balls has just one net carb!

The entire recipe makes 24 sausage balls, so I just choose how many I want to eat and voila! Counting carbs doesn't get much easier than that!

Not to mention these little guys stay moist when nut flours can easily dry them out. It is a total win-win!

Sausage Egg Roll In A Bowl

By 3 Comments

sausage egg roll in a bowl

This Sausage Egg Roll In A Bowl is a delicious and simple keto recipe the entire family will love. Low in carbs and calories, this is a guilt-free low carb version of egg rolls that will satisfy your craving and keep you on track with your low-carb goals.

sausage egg roll in a bowl

This easy egg roll in a bowl recipe only takes a few ingredients and saves well making it the perfect keto meal prep idea. It is extremely versatile making it a great recipe for busy weeknights. It is an easy recipe to keep you on track with the keto diet or just want to have a filling meal with less sugar.

This recipe is made with a package of pork sausage, but you can also use ground beef, ground turkey, or even ground chicken. When using turkey or chicken I do add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil as there is less fat than the pork sausage. Similarly, you can swap out the bag of coleslaw for a bag of broccoli slaw and add in a few water chestnuts for an equally delicious dish.

egg roll in a bowl

To keep this low carb egg roll in a bowl recipe keto-friendly, I recommend using coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Coconut aminos are soy-, wheat-, and gluten-free and have almost the same amount of carbs as a light soy sauce. The flavor is almost identical though some feel the liquid aminos have a less salty flavor.

Traditional egg rolls are of course wrapped in wonton wrappers, but you can keep this keto by enjoying them as lettuce wraps or just eating with a fork like a deconstructed egg roll! If you want a little more to the meal you can also put the keto egg roll mixture over cauliflower rice with some sriracha sauce to add a little kick!

Slow Cooker Short Ribs with Gravy

Slow cooker short ribs are an easy keto meal you can make that tastes amazing! Simple ingredients and simple steps make this restaurant quality dish! 

slow cooker short ribs

My husband loves braised short ribs at restaurants, so I was determined to learn how to make them at home.

I was actually surprised how tasty these slow cooker short ribs were with such simple ingredients.

slow cooker braised short ribs

These do take a little more "work" than just tossing into the slow cooker, but braising them is worth the time - it gives them so much more flavor!

And the gravy is amazing. I even poured it over my friend Trisha's Loaded Cauliflower Casserole side dish - so delish!

Spicy Keto Sausage Balls Appetizer

By 17 Comments

spicy keto sausage balls recipe

My favorite part about the keto diet is the amazing food that you can eat every day without any guilt.

One of those foods I love is Keto Sausage Balls because they are so easy to make and full of flavor.

To change things up a bit from my usual I concocted these Spicy Keto Sausage Balls - and now it is hard to decide which is my favorite!

spicy keto sausage balls recipe

I have to admit, before starting keto, the very idea of sausage grossed me out. I am not a huge fan of processed meat.

But after a while of enjoying my Sausage Egg Bakes for breakfast, I decided to get a bit more creative, and made my Sausage Cheese Balls... and I have been hooked ever since.

There are a lot of Sausage Ball Recipes that use flour - but it is not necessary.

In fact, I use grated parmesan in place of flour in several recipes - like Fathead pizza dough!

It brings the carb count down significantly and adds even more flavor! A total win-win.

This recipe makes 24 bite-sized Sausage Balls that are great for snacking or to take to a party for a Keto Appetizer.

Each little sausage ball has about 1 carb each, so they are easy to work into your daily macros.

They are delicious alone or dipped into my Keto Ranch Dressing - which cools off the spice some for an amazing savory flavor.

It is a good thing they are so low in carbs - because I will warn you - once you start eating them, it is hard to stop!

MACROS

I plugged this recipe into my favorite Keto Calculator App - Carb Manager - and it came up with the following macros:

Each Spicy Keto Sausage Ball has 0 net carbs, 0 total carbs, 0 fiber, 8 g fat, 6 g protein, and 104 calories. This gives them an "A" rating!

If you have been in the low carb/keto community for any length of time you have likely heard of the amazing dish- Eggroll in a Bowl. If you haven’t tried it yet, it is an amazing main dish that fills you up without a lot of carbs.

My version is seasoned to create the Garlic Ginger Eggroll in a Bowl combo I love and I know you will too.

Eggroll In A Bowl

Ingredients:

  • 1 bag broccoli slaw
  • 1 lb. ground pork
  • 2 tsp. Ginger paste
  • 2 tsp. Garlic, crushed
  • 2 Tbsp. Amino acids
  • Sesame oil

Instructions:

Brown ground beef in sesame oil over medium-high heat until cooked throughout, chop into small pieces as it cooks. Be sure there is no pink left in your pork at all.

Next, add ginger, garlic, and broccoli slaw. You can use regular slaw or any other variety that you like, I really enjoy the flavor of the broccoli slaw bag from Walmart.

Saute, stirring frequently, until slaw begins to soften and become translucent.

Remove from heat and season with amino acids (or soy sauce) to your taste.

Amino acids taste just like soy sauce but deliver healthy amino acids to your dishes.

Store in an airtight container for up to five days. Reheat by covering the microwave-safe container with a damp paper towel for 30-second increments - stirring each time - until reaching the desired temperature.
