I love making brisket for the family.  Not only is it delicious and hearty, but the leftovers are perfect in my husbands lunch box the next day.  Here's a few tips for picking out a good piece of meat.The fattier the cut of meat, the juicier this will be.  Make sure to choose an inexpensive cut of meat. I usually look for second cut.  For brisket, do NOT chose a first cut or top of the rib as they are took lean.

What’s so great about these Keto crockpot recipes?
  • There’s no cooking required ahead of time so they’re super easy to make.  Simply combine the ingredients in plastic freezer bags and freeze for up to three months.
  • They cook for the first time out of the freezer and don’t taste like leftovers at all.  Yay!
  • You can save money by buying the ingredients in bulk.
If you’re looking for a shortcut on the Keto diet, you’re going to love these recipes because everything is made in your CROCKPOT.  The recipes are delicious and basically fool-proof.  I’ve made thousands of crockpot freezer meals myself, so I know you’re going to love these recipes.
The only thing that I want to stress is that you’ll need to make sure each recipe fits your macros. I tried to only include recipes that are higher in fat and protein and low in carbs, but it’s your call if they’re right for you.

Apple Almond Muffin Low Carb | Keto Friendly
I don't know about my other Keto friends but I have been MISSING APPLES.  So, I needed to come up with a recipe that would give me a taste without all the carbs.  I was also wanting to taste something sweet.  I haven't really  had cravings for sweet but a treat every now and then is nice to have but if the recipe is tasty there goes the need to feel as though you should "cheat".  That's my philosophy anyway.  I'm not "deprived".  I am satisfied.

Taco Tuesday is no joke in my house. For years I have been perfecting my taco-making craft. When we started a ketogenic diet we just eliminated the carb loaded chips and tortillas. I have felt like I was missing something. Something crunchy and textured. So, after much research and Pinterest-ing I have decided to go with taco bowls. It's easy and if you're new to a keto or low carb way of eating you'll find this to be satisfying as well.
