Keto Chicken Salad

Hey friends! Qu’es ce que sup? I hope you are enjoying the summer time. For us who live in the northern hemisphere, we know and appreciate the fleeting beauty of summer. It makes the months of June, July, August and September so special.

One thing I don’t like to do during summer is cook complicated, time & energy consuming dishes. Turning on the oven turns my apartment into a sauna.

That is why I am putting more focus on cold dishes, like this amazing Keto Chicken Salad.

The Very Best Banana Bread Recipe | Lea’s Recipes

May 29, 2020 By Idriss 6 Comments

Excuse the hyperbole but I had to get your attention. I do believe that it is the very best banana bread, but it also makes me cringe saying so. So please play along so I may convince you. I’ll ask you a few questions, keep up.

What’s the best banana bread you’ve ever had? Or rather, WHEN was the last BEST banana bread you’ve ever had? For us… Last week, when we remade this recipe for the 3rd time in May. It’s that good. Even an inflexible grumpy and spice-hating taste-tester dubbed this: excellent banana bread.

Another said it was more like spice cake than banana bread, but she’s part hater-gater anyway (joke Mom, love you). So, what will you say about what I’m calling my absolute favorite Banana Bread EVER? Will you call me out on it, or love me forever for providing you with your favorite go-to banana bread recipe? There’s a mystery ingredient in here that I bet you won’t guess ahead of time (no cheating! read through).

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.
