I was just browsing and came across this site and thus far I like what I am seeing and will definitely try these wonderful recipes.
I’m anxious to have a new variety of keto-friendly recipes.
I am brand new to this. I find a craving for something sweet after all the meat and veg’s. I am going to make the lemon drops as soon as my sugar sub gets here. This site looks great. Thanks
Cool site. Love what you are doing here.
I just found you! I can’t wait to start making your beautiful food!!!
Can’t wait to try the shrimp salad.
The pictures are wonderful!
Just made the Peanut butter cookies! They are in the oven now and I can’t wait to taste them!
Making stuffed mushrooms for first time. A little scared😵
Yum! How did they turn out, Robin? Hope you enjoyed them!
I made your strawberry cheesecake bombs tonight. They are in the freezer. Can’t wait to try one.
I just found this site and am quite pleased with it so far. New to keto and was looking for a site that spells out the basics and how to get started. Now motivated and excited to get going. Thank you!
Would love an instant-pot specific email list. You beef short ribs were one of the best meals I have ever had, including eating at restaurants. Would love to try more of those
Help. I did keto for two weeks lost about 10 lbs. Loved it. Then I started to get leg cramps Drank lots of water, took magnesium and potassium. It didn’t help. So, now I eat potatoes and bananas. Would like to continue with Keto but leg cramps are severe. Can you give me any advice? I would really appreciate it. Tks. can message me on FB. Thanks again.Esther
Hi Esther! Have you spoken with your doctor about this? Since I’m not a medical professional and can’t give medical advice, I’m wondering if someone who’s familiar with your specific background could help you out with this. You may find this page to be useful (http://peoplesrx.com/the-best-kind-of-magnesium-for-you/); it mentions the different types of magnesium and how it’s absorbed. Personally, I found that having leg cramps was resolved by varying the relative amounts of electrolytes, giving my body time to adjust to the new normal, and having enough variation in my diet.
I’ve tried a number of recipes from Savory Tooth and found all of them delicious and healthy.
The recipes have been so delicious!!!
Thank you.
Julia…thanks so much for all you do!! Discovering this page at the very beginning of my Instant Pot-based keto journey was pure serendipity :))
Looking forward to some new recipes. I am super allergic to tree nuts & shellfish, which makes a lot of keto meals off-limits. But somehow, I persist. Bring me something good! 🙂
Wanted a fat bomb recipe based off ingredients I had on hand. Thank you.
You’re welcome! Hope you enjoyed it.
I haven’t even started day 1 yet. My doctor told me he wants me on a low carb diet to lose at least 20 lbs in 4 months with no more than 1500 calories a day. I was having a really hard time trying to figure out where to start and what to eat. While surfing for answers I found your site and it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for! Thank you.
You’re welcome, Carol! Best of luck on your journey and I wish you success.
I will be starting Keto next week. Is there a list of allowed and not allowed foods to kind of simplify things?
Take a look at this list of low carb foods: https://www.savorytooth.com/low-carb-shopping-list/
You can bring it with you next time you’re grocery shopping to help you figure out what to buy.
Also, look at this meal planning page: https://www.savorytooth.com/keto-meal-plan/
It talks about do’s and don’ts for different meals of the day, so you can get a sense of what to eat.
Keto is not an easy diet to follow, and it’s more involved than just a list of “allowed” and “not allowed” foods. If you find that you’re not getting the results you want with your current strategy, you may need to track your daily intake of macronutrients (fat, protein, net carbs, etc.) to ensure that you’re eating the proper macros to put your body into ketosis.
I just now joined. Not on any spec. diet…just watching it, trying to be careful. I love home made soup, especially from home grown foods.
Welcome! You might like my recently published soup: https://www.savorytooth.com/creamy-vegetable-soup/ It could be a good way to use your home grown vfoods.
Sugar substitutes: I’ve been using coconut sugar for sometime now. Thoughts?
Coconut sugar is still sugar. If you look at your coconut sugar’s packaging, its nutrition label should show you that it isn’t any better than regular sugar. I recommend using erythritol or erythritol-based blends like Swerve or Lakanto. I also recommend that you read my low carb guide, which goes over how to read nutrition labels and figure out what you can eat.
I’m new to low carb ideals and I’ve never weighed items before so what’s the best scales to use
This is a great food scale on Amazon at http://amzn.to/2BqVogz and you can find more kitchen and low carb products that I recommend on my Amazon page at https://www.amazon.com/shop/savory.tooth/
Hi Julia! My mom and I are new to Keto. We’ve just decided today, that as of December 1st, we’re starting Keto. I have no idea how to start this Keto thing, but I know it works. I’ve got a co-worker that has lost over 150lbs. I’m gathering information and looking for different items to make. Thank you, for your awesome site!J
That’s great!! If you haven’t already, I recommend checking out https://www.savorytooth.com/how-to-start-low-carb-diet/ and developing a meal plan because it will help you stick to your goals. And if you are ever tempted to cheat, just remember that nothing ever tastes as good as you remember, including whatever was your personal indulgence. Good luck!
Julia,
I travel quite a bit and have a hard time staying in ketosis. I take along keto friendly snacks to each while traveling but most of them are cost prohibitive for me. Do you have any recipes so I can make my own snacks that will keep while traveling? Nutrition bars, nut combinations or other suggestions.
Thank you!
Do you have access to a Costco membership? Their selection of macadamia nuts, almonds, walnuts, and pecans are more affordably priced than any other place I’ve seen. They also have some keto-friendly snacks like Whisps cheese crisps, protein bars (~$1 each), sugar-free beef jerky, and sugar-free beef sticks. I’ve experimented with making my own nutrition bars, but making them shelf-stable with low-cost ingredients is difficult.
Do you have a brand for protein bars at Costco? Seems all are high carb/sugar
They are called “Kirkland Signature Protein Bars” and available in Cookie Dough and Brownie at my local warehouse. Something like 2 g net carbs (subtracting both fiber and sugar alcohols) per bar. I’m not a huge fan of the texture, but some people love it. The other caveat is that its fiber comes from tapioca starch, which appears to affect my ability to stay in ketosis. https://www.costco.com/Kirkland-Signature-Protein-Bars%2C-Chocolate-Chip-Cookie-Dough%2C-20-count%2C-2-pack.product.100423971.html
I make cheese crisps with sharp cheddar squares and a bit of ranch powder. I have also used taco seasonings. Line a cookie sheet with parchment, space out 3 rows of 4. Sprinkle with powder , if wanted. Bake 300 degrees for 20 min. Cool on cooling rack. Place in paper bag with paper towel when crisp. I also have added pepperoni to these to spice em up. They stay good on a shelf for several days.
That sounds like a delicious snack, similar to my parmesan crisps but easier to make. Thanks for sharing — I’m going to try this!
Your directions weren’t clear for me.. what do you space out on the cookie sheet 3 to 4 rows?
Google Keto Candied Pecans. They are super easy to make. I make ones without egg whites which makes it even easier to make. Yummy and portable! : ) I also just tried a Keto Puppy Chow that would be a good on the go sweet treat.
Julia,
Just made your savory Tofu Stir Fry. So delicious!
Awesome! I’d appreciate it if you could leave a review on the tofu recipe post.
Hi I’m type 2 diabetic and I’m currently doing 24 hour fasts only having a high fat meal but still crave something nice do you have any suggestions
If you’re looking for something sweet, I recommend lemon cheesecake fat bombs: https://www.savorytooth.com/lemon-fat-bombs/
For something savory, what about pan-seared salmon or swordfish? They’re quick to prepare and delicious to eat.
