    Shrimp and "Grits"

    Shrimp and Grits … is it breakfast? is it supper? I'm not sure about that, but I'm absolutely positive that it's freaking delicious!! There are about a bazillion different ways to prepare this dish, but I'm pretty sure mine is the best ... Just sayin' ;)

    Pimento Cheese

    For those of you following some of my posts, you probably know that I LOVE cheese. Of course I'm going to love pimento cheese. One of my favorite things to do is top a grilled hamburger patty with pimento cheese. It melts every so slightly and adds a richness you will LOVE. Add bacon, tomato, onion, and lettuce and I am in heaven.

    Deviled eggs

    Classic deviled eggs are delicious! For a keto version of these deviled eggs, make sure to use a mayonnaise with no sugar and not Miracle Whip. My favorite mayonnaise is the Avocado Oil Mayonnaise from Sir Kensington. That stuff is GOOD!!

    This is really the best ever Deviled Eggs recipe. Whenever I make this family-favorite, people ask for the recipe and rave about how delicious it is. With a few simple ingredients, it’s super easy to make too. Get the step-by-step instructions here...

    Baked Ham

    This is a fantastic ham recipe that my family loves. Most recipes use brown sugar on the ham, which of course tastes amazing but are not a good ketogenic option because of the sugar. This recipe is keto friendly which I love.

    Collard Greens With Bacon

    For those of you not sold on collard greens, you have not tried this recipe. It is a MUST. Michelle from Divas Can Cook is an amazing Southern cook!

    Fried Okra

    This is low carb twist on one of my favorite childhood recipes. If you've never had fried okra (AKA Southern Popcorn), then you are really missing out! It's a delicious side dish or snack and it's SO easy to make. This recipe is perfect for those following a paleo, Whole 30, gluten/grain free or #keto diet.

    Coleslaw

    This sugar-free, easy, creamy Keto Coleslaw will have you never wanting to go back to the sugar-laden stuff again. Try it on the side of pulled pork, hot dogs, or hamburgers!

    Keto "Cornbread" Muffins

    I am sure that most people will agree with me that the hardest part of a low carb and keto diet is not eating bread or pasta. It is my mission to find seriously good "bread" substitutes so I don't always feel like I am going without.

    Sausage Gravy

    This is a tasty sausage gravy from Simply So Healthy that I think you'll like! I provided a different biscuit recipe above, but Simply So Healthy does have a biscuit recipe that goes along with her sausage gravy you might want to try. If you do, let me know how you like it! 🙂
