Rockin' Radish Browns

Keto-licious brunch totals only 7g Net Carbs! Radish
Browns compliment fried eggs, bacon, turkey sausage
and Psylli Turmeric Pancakes

I believe I’ve mentioned once or twice, that Sunday brunch is a special thing between Denny, “the boys” and me. We try to cook a beautiful brunch each week as a way of having time to relax and visit, drink a few cups of quality decaff coffee, and catch up with what’s gone down the previous week and what we face in the coming week. The kitchen feels warm and inviting, the fragrances emanating from it smell divine, and time slows down. Relaxation and joy in the moment is the order of the day. Brunch is the meal I look most forward to each week.

Of Low Carb Breakfast Tacos and Psylli Wraps

Do you think a low carb, keto-approved and gluten free tortilla or wrap is a myth or worse, an oxymoron? Well, Susie T. and Fluffy Chix Cook can show you that low carb, gluten free, keto wraps ARE possible and more, taste awesome! Convenience and flavor-together again. Yippee!

(Apologies in advance--this is going to be one of Fluffy Chix Cook's long-winded posts in praise of a dear friend's Psylli Wrap, a near-perfect and dead-easy low carb tortilla and wrap alternative that is a must-have in your rotation. There are two recipes in this post: one for an amazing Egg and Sausage Breakfast Taco and the other is for my tweaked version of DocP's Psylli Wrap. So be patient. Get a cup of coffee, and come right back now, ya here? Set a spell!)

Put Induction Friendly Tortillas Back On The Menu - Atkins Induction Day 5

Coconut Pumpkin Tortillas are Induction-friendly

Sundays in our house always come with a big breakfast or brunch and endless hot cups of coffee. It’s our time to leisurely decompress and enjoy visiting with each other, having amazing coffee and delicious food. There is no diet mentality, not even when we’re doing Atkins Induction. Not at brunch nor any meal. Deprivation optional is our philosophy.

Egg Skillets - BRINNER Is An Atkins-neer's Best Friend

Here is a recipe (a non-recipe, really) near and dear to my heart. On days when I just don't feel like cooking or have a lot going on, simplicity is the name of the game and getting food on the table in the quickest amount of time is the object. Those are the days I adore BRINNER (Breakfast as Dinner).

Leftover, Leftover Thanksgiving!

What to do with leftover Thanksgiving Turkey when you want something different!

What's better than a brand spankin' new post about Thanksgiving leftovers? How's about a "leftover" post from last year talking about a recipe near and dear to my heart!? Wanted to toss this recipe to the top of the pile again because it frankly deserves it!

Gobble Gobble!



Here’s a leftover turkey recipe out of the ordinary. Aren’t you sick of leftover turkey and gravy? Me too!

This easy Turkey Hash makes a killer “breakfast-for-dinner” or “brinner” as our sock monkey boys like to call it after a full day of BFS (Black Friday Shopping). We enjoy eating it with a fried or poached egg on top so the yummy richness of the egg yolk adds to the comfort experience of the meal. Sliced tomatoes are all you need to go with this low carb hash. I promise you won’t even miss the taters!

And the cost of the meal is ridiculously cheap at $3.26!

Hope you enjoy your Black Friday shopping!

Low Carb Homestyle Southern Bacon Gravy and Low Carb Biscuits for Breakfast, Brunch or Brinner

Low Carb Southern Bacon Gravy with Low Carb Biscuits
along with fried eggs, sugar free preserves and grape tomatoes

If we are truly what we eat, most Southerners would consist of half fried food and half cream gravy. I’m not lyin’ to you and yes, that includes the “New Southern Cuisine” movement.  And part of me deep down in my Southern soul, mourns. And feels shame about that. Yes, I grew up eating those foods. Yes, I love them. And yes, I still have a weight problem today, despite low carbing for 98% of 12 years.

(On the plus side, I have lost around 80lbs and the low carb lifestyle halted a PCOS-driven 8pound per month weight gain cycle I was locked into 12 years ago when I begain this way of eating.)

Yep, Southerners are as a region, some of the portliest people this side of the Mason Dixon. And we have some of the highest rates of diabetes, kidney disease, cancer, heart disease, many “-eases”. Jesus.

So why on earth, am I blogging about bacon gravy then? Yes, that’s bacon gravy in the picture there. Isn’t it a pretty sight? But aren’t I just contributing to the delinquency of Southerners the world-over

Tex-Mex Baked Eggs for Breakfast, Brunch or Brinner

Tex-Mex Baked Eggs so easy and so delicious!

Thank God Thanksgiving is over for another year! I don’t know about you, but I look forward to the holiday and work towards the build-up, planning and dashing and cooking and exhausting myself in the bargain. I’m betting you do too.

This year, we had three days of celebrations and that was maybe one day too long, especially in light of surgery just a short 11 weeks ago. By the third celebration, I developed a massive headache that left me feeling sick to my tummy and weak, right at the height of the party, too! Boo sis!!!

In retrospect I should have skipped Saturday to save up for Sunday. But I tried to do it all. Does that sound familiar? We forget limits!
