Orange Cardamom Thanksgiving Cake

Omgosh, the flavours of this LCHF cake are fabulous. Good to serve with coffee, as dessert after a meal or freshly baked and still warm with either mascarpone cheese or sour cream too. I kind of like sour cream or Greek yogurt with dessert!

What ingredients should you expect to have to bake this?

You’ll need one fresh orange for the zest and juice for sure, ground cardamon and vanilla paste to get the full flavours. Definitely almond flour and buttermilk. If you don’t like cardamom, ground ginger would work great too!

This was dessert after our Thanksgiving dinner of roasted veggies and duck with keto cranberry sauce.

I’m truly humbled, grateful and thankful for the many blessings we have, loving family and friends, and your sincerely appreciated visits. Thank you!

Keto “English” cream tea Scones

I woke up this morning and needed a cream tea scone. It was that simple. Necessity being the mother of invention I created this recipe just now and holy cow, it worked. I’m recording it right now before I forget the quantities, and my future self can bake them again. They are truly delicious. We had them with butter, raspberry and strawberry keto jam and whipped cream. I’m pretty sure they would be fabulous topped with a good sharp cheese of your choice too. Though not everyone likes cheese with their scones I suppose, I might be in the minority!

The trick is to work fast, and I mean really fast.

Wow, are they are delicious!

Eggplant Parmesan Bake

Aubergine, brinjal, eggplant … whatever you call it, this beautiful vegetable is the perfect keto veggie fat bomb. High in fiber to negate the carbs, it has a wonderful sponge tendency of soaking up oils and seasonings and delivering a delicious meal. You’ll need a large aubergine, sliced in thick disks, marinated in herbs and garlic, brushed with pesto and tomato paste and topped with mature parmesan, then oven baked.

Pork Butt Roast crowned with garlic

This is a recipe born of necessity. We’re expecting a meat delivery and need freezer space!

The garlic crown is just a pointed knife poked in the top and many many slivers of garlic pressed in the top. Well worth the effort and super delicious result.

One more thing … your home will be fragrantly infused with spices, apples, lemon and roast for a day or two.

Roasted Zucchini Lasagna

Well, Lasagna is not photogenic! But I think the flavour is worth the effort and there will be leftover unless you’re more than two in your household. I make meals on the weekend for work lunches to box up and this one is perfect. You start out by Continue reading
