Creamy Garlic Chicken | Keto Recipe

March 11, 2020 By Idriss 1 Comment

Sunny ways, sunny ways my friends. Harsh Canadian winter is leaving us, the days are growing longer and warmer. I don’t know about you, but I get an instant mood boost as soon as we hit the first week of March.

It’s March Magic.

Enough about the weather. Let’s talk chicken. As usual, with this recipe, we have tried to keep it simple, quick and hopefully all made in one skillet.

30 minutes (or less) + one skillet = happiness.

I’ve found that happiness negatively correlates with the amount of time you spend doing the dishes. And positively correlates with the words chicken and creamy. So there you go, that’s why Creamy Garlic Chicken.

Creamy Red Lentil Soup – Vegan Recipe

February 8, 2020 By Idriss 1 Comment

How’s it going friends!

It is February 2020 in Montreal. We had the biggest snowstorm of the year yesterday and the streets are covered in snow. As I am writing this blog post, Tis’ -15 Celsius (5 F), -26 (-15 F) if wind factored in. It’s cold, is my point.

That is why soup. But not just any soup. This is a Vegan Creamy Red Lentil Soup, garnished with homemade pumpernickel croutons, freshly ground black peppers and a drizzle of coconut cream.

It is just fantastic for this weather, or any weather really.

Let’s get real, this time of the year is the best time for soups and stews. Especially if you’re like me and made the irrational decision to live in the cold North. Where the winters are dark, long and oh so cold.

It’s like a 4-5 months long Fargo episode.

October 1, 2019 By Idriss 4 Comments

How’s it going old friends? All is well? Are you enjoying the fall season? I know I am. In this time of the year, I find myself naturally wanting things that are warm, spicy and comforting. Like sweaters, cinnamon and Shepherd’s Pie.
Our Keto Shepherd’s Pie is not a compromise but rather an improvement. I was delightfully surprised by how well this turned out. I thought that for sure. I will have to make/tweak this recipe a few times before I get it right, but I didn’t. I hit the jackpot on my first try, and you will too.
It is that easy.
