Making red pickled onions are so easy to make and are one of my favorite things to top salads, wraps and a good charcuterie board.
Pickled onions are popping up topping burgers and salads at all the trendy restaurants. They are something our grandmothers use to make. I don't really know why they ever fell out of popularity in food because they are soo flavory and easy to make.
I loved picking out the pearl pickled onions out of my grandma's mustard pickles. I promise to post the mustard pickle recipe sometime soon because anyone who makes a roast should have some mustard pickles to add as a relish.
You can make pickled onions with an onion really. I'm making a batch with both red onion and yellow onion.
You will simply need vinegar and onions. That's it! See super easy!
I love using my vintage ball canning jar with the glass lid and clamp on it to make pickled onions.
Peel your onions. Slice your onion into thin slices. Add to a jar of vinegar. All to pickle in the refrigerator for about 2 days then they will be ready to top your hamburger, salad or add to your charcuterie board.
Enjoy!
Fresh pico de gallo is one of my favorite kinds of salsa. It made from all fresh ingredients and is another one of those delicious condiment toppings to have on hand. It's great on everything from carne asada to fish!
Did you know that Pico de Gallo only has 5 ingeirents? It's super eay to make. If you want to grow one thing even on a porch garden this summer make it a pico de gallo garden. Tomatoes and jalapenos are some of the easiest garden plants to grow. Add a pot of cilantro and you will be making this delicious recipe all summer!
serves 4
3 large tomatoes
1/2 onion
1/2 fresh jalapeno
Small bunch of cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
Course Sea Salt
Simply chop all your vegetables into small pieces. Chop cilantro. Mix together in a bowl. Squeeze the juice from 1 lime over the top. Salt to taste.
There is no need to miss out on some good snacks at a party. Just make this quick and easy low carb keto friendly guacamole inspired dip. Perfect for dipping veggies.
Avocados are rich in good fats and essential nutrients. They also happen to be one of my favorite foods. This simple Avocado Party Dip, which is basically another kind of guacamole recipe, will be the rave of our party. It's soooo addicting so be sure to make extra. You might even want to make a batch for yourself.
More guacaole recipes coming soon... until then enjoy this creamy dip!
2 Large Haas Avocados
1/2 sour cream
1 lime
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon red pepper
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
In a small mixing bowl add all ingredients squeezing in the juice of the lime. Smash together with a fork. Top with a light sprinkling of red pepper for garnish.
Serve with tortilla chips, veggies or potato chips. Enjoy!
Note: The lime keeps the avocado from turning brown. I left mine out for a good hour to test it and it works quite nicely.
Taco on a low carb keto diet? You bet! I wouldn't go with out some good Mexican flavory keto tacos in my life.
🎵"If you like Cinco de Mayo, so you c'n eat tacos all day. If you're not into carbs, and you have half a brain. If you like taking walks at midnight ..." 🎵 I know, in another life I was weird al with food lyrics haha.
There is no way I'm missing Taco Tuesdays just because I'm on a low carb keto diet. I love Mexican foods and flavors. Any taco can easily be converted to a low carb - keto taco by replacing the taco shell with your favorite lettuce. I used romaine hearts but a butter lettuce taco shell would be really good too.
Do you make tacos for Taco Tuesday? These turned out so good. You're going to love them and so will your family.
serves 4
1 lb ground beef
vegetable oil, butter or bacon butter

1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
head of lettuce
Pico de Gallo- recipe here
white cheddar cheese - shredded

I have always loved eating boiled eggs but avoided them because of sore fingers after peeling them. This easy-to-peel method will thrill you once you give it a try. Don’t worry the eggs won’t crack anymore than placing them in boiling water versus placing them in cold water and bringing them to a boil.
It’s really very simple. You won’t believe how easily this simple reverse in method works!
Enjoy!
For us caramel season is FALL! It’s when we make our caramel apples, caramel apple nachos, creamy homemade caramels, and our very best better than crackers jacks Crunchy Caramel Corn.
first posted on my blog Sweet Life in The Valley back in 2008
Thanksgiving is coming up soon. Why not make some caramel corn to share with friends and family as a little gift of gratitude for them. It's also a tasty snack to eat fireside in the chilly Autumn weather.
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp real vanilla
6 quarts popped popcorn
Read your labels on corn syrup. I use the Karo brand corn syrup. It is the only brand I have found that is corn syrup rather than high fructose corn syrup
Hot coffee, latte, americano, tea etc. on a brisk fall morning topped off with a steamy warm slice of buttered banana bread is my idea of beginning the day perfectly. We’ve gathered a few of the very best banana bread recipes from our favorite food bloggers including The Classic Vintage’s recipe for banana bread that rivals the delicious banana bread at Starbucks.
If you give any of these tasty recipes a try let us know what you think in the comments. We would love to see photos too!
Just 5 basic ingredients come together to make this amazing fresh salsa.

It's springtime and the stores are full of great deals on fresh asparagus. Asparagus is not only delicious but good for your body. It's a wonderful high alkaline nutrient dense vegetable that's low carb- keto friendly and of course gluten-free making it a great food for almost everyone.
When I was growing up my Grandma Bohman grew a patch of asparagus just outside her garden gate. It's a tall wispy plant with little green berries on it when it goes to seed. I use to love running my hands through it as I walked by.
I love fish and tilapia is a beautiful mild white fish that pairs well with some many flavors. I love finding new tilapia recipes. For this recipe, I put together some colorful and flavory veggies that are easy to find this time of year at the market. I topped it with a lemon garlic sour cream sauce.
serves 2 - can easily double
2 Tilapia fillets
1 Lemon
Marinated artichoke hearts
1 Red, yellow or orange sweet pepper
2 Cloves of fresh garlic
Red pepper flakes
Pink Himalayan salt or sea salt
1/2 cup of pure sour cream
Pinch of dried garlic granules or garlic powder
Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees. Gather your ingredients then slice your sweet peppers in thin slices. Snap off the ends of your asparagus and peel your cloves of garlic. For my tilapia, I get this fresh frozen tilapia fillets that are individually wrapped.
Layer a few pieces of asparagus, a few sticks of sweet peppers, a piece of artichoke heart and one clove of fresh garlic. Top with red pepper flakes and pink salt.
Roll the two ends of the fish together overlapping slightly and hold together with your bamboo skewers. If they are too long just snip off the end.
Drizzle a little avocado oil in the bottom of your pan then lay tilapia fillets in pan and drizzle a nice amount of avocado oil over the top. Top each piece of tilapia with a lemon slice. Bake in a 375 degrees oven for about 20 minutes until fully cooked.
In a small bowl add 1/2 cup of sour cream, a pinch of dried garlic granules, 1/2 teaspoon of pink salt and 2 pinches of red pepper flakes to taste. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon on top and stir until completely mixed.
Serve with a generous spoonful of lemon sour cream sauce. It's the perfect light yet filling spring dinner.

Omelettes are a keto diet staple food. They are a perfect food for someone doing the keto diet on a budget. This omelette recipe is so tasty and filling, you are going to love it! It's a great low carb breakfast idea or for any low carb keto diet meal!
Weekends call for delicious brunches. I have a nice bunch of basil in my garden that needed to be picked and some nice beautiful jalapenos ready to harvest too. Emmi sent me some of their Cave-Aged Le Gruyére try so I decided to add a bit of this rich nutty flavored cheese that pairs perfectly with the fresh green flavors. Add some garlic and farm fresh eggs to make a delicious breakfast or brunch meal.
An omelet is also a tasty quick dinner too that doesn't taste like a quick dinner.
I like to make one big omelet slice it and serve it on a platter so everyone can choose the size they would like to eat.
Serves 4
6 eggs
1/4 cup cream
gruyére cheese
1 clove garlic
small bunch of fresh basil
1 fresh jalapeno
salt and black pepper to taste
tablespoon butter
There are two techniques used in making a creamy perfectly cooked omelette. First is whipping the cream and eggs together. Crush and mice the garlic, chop the jalapeno into small pieces, add salt and pepper to taste and whip into eggs.
Add butter to a medium size frying pan. Heat on medium heat. Add eggs mixture to pan.
The second technique is to allow the eggs to cook on the bottom they pull the edges into the center with a wooden spoon allowing the uncooked eggs to fill in the sides and cook. Repeat this until all the eggs are almost cooked. At this point add the Gruyére cheese. You can either slice it into thin slices or grate it. Then fold the omelette in half and cook just until the cheese is melted.
With these two techniques you will end up with a cream delicious center and perfectly cooked eggs that aren't dry.
Slice and garish with a sprig of fresh basil and slices of fresh jalapeno.
Enjoy!
