Organic Special Treats:
These are the lowest-carb fruits, but must be used in tiny amounts and ALWAYS balanced with a very high fat recipe, such as my ice creams, smoothies, dairy-free cream/yogurt, popsicles, fat bombs, etc. See A Visual Guide to Keto Fruits and Berries by DietDoctor (note that anti-cancer keto is lower carb than “internet” keto).
- blueberries
- raspberries
- blackberries
- strawberries
- tiny tart apples, like crab apples
- cranberries
If you are not there yet, then use food-grade essential oils, flavored oils, flavored concentrates, or sugar-free, alcohol-free extracts (see my list “Where to Buy Keto Ingredients” on page ##) as fruit flavorings for your smoothies, ice creams, popsicles, fat bombs, cocktails, and beverages. They are super yummy and have zero carbs!
No to Juicing:
Juicing veggies removes the fiber and leaves the sugary juice part behind, which causes a spike in blood glucose that is much higher than eating just the vegetable. We have a joke in the low-carb world: You can juice all you want, as long as you throw away the juice and eat the pulp. If you are craving juice, prepare one of my smoothie recipes (see “Drinks” beginning of page ##) so you can enjoy a juice-like drink that is low in carbs and high in fat.
ʻYesʼ Foods

- bison – must be grass-fed and grass finished and organic (local if possible)
- chicken -must be pasture-raised, organic, ideally from local farmer (soy/ corn free if possible)
- eggs–must be pasture-raised, organic, ideally from local farmer (soy/corn free if possible)
- fish–must be wild caught never farmed:
- Alaskan wild-caught salmon
- sardines (in glass)
- mussels
- wild-caught rainbow trout
- Atlantic mackerel
- oysters
- next best for fish:
- anchovies (in glass)
- pollock
- herring
- wild-caught shrimp
- wild-caught catfish
- clams
- scallops
- lamb–grass-fed and grass-finished, organic (local if possible)
- pork–including pork rinds (and crumbles), bacon, prosciutto, ham, pancetta, salami, or sausages (without celery seed or salt). Must be organic, sugar-free, dextrose-free, nitrate-free, pasture-raised, antibiotic-free (local if possible).
- turkey–must be pasture-raised, organic (soy/corn free if possible)
- duck–must be pasture-raised, organic (soy/corn free if possible)
- wild game
Cheese
- full dairy–Enjoy only if your DNA allows and IGF-1 is below 100 on your labs. Must be local, pasture-raised, and chemical-free.
- dairy-free–Avoid any with potato starch, pea protein, vegetable oil, and non-organic ingredients. (Most of what is currently available on the market is unacceptable. See “Where to Buy Keto Ingredients” on page ##.) To make your own, see “Nut Cheese” (page ##) and “Zucchini Cheese” (page ##).
Organic ‘Noodles & Rice’
- cabbage cut into ribbons and fried in a keto fat from my fat list
- cauliflower or broccoli chopped into rice (in small amounts) and fried in a keto fat from my fat list
- kelp noodles and other keto noodles (check the carb content as should be less than 3 grams of TOTAL carbs per serving)
- organic shirataki noodles and rice, also called Konjac–almost zero carb and come in many brand names such as organic Miracle Noodles. They are delicious when rinsed in hot water, then PAN FRIED. They are not ideal as their container is plastic and contains preservatives, but super yummy on occasion.
- Swiss chard, kale, or other leafy greens cut into ribbons and fried in a keto fat from my fat list
- veggie noodles–use vegetable peeler to make wide noodles out of zucchini squash, kohlrabi, broccoli stems, cauliflower stems
- zucchini noodles–cut into spaghetti with a spiralizer
Spices, Condiments & Sweeteners:
herbs and spices–Must be organic and sugar-free. Fresh (versus dried) will be the most nutritious.
salts–pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
zests–grated rind of organic lemon, lime, or orange. Zest is much lower in carbs than juice. Scrub the citrus vigorously before zesting as even organic has a toxic coating.
flavorings–food-grade essential oils, flavored oils, flavored concentrates, or sugar-free, alcohol-free extracts. Make sure what you are using is organic, gluten-free, additive-free, diacetyl-free, alcohol-free, and does not contain polysorbate-80 or monosodium glutamate (MSG). Check the manufacturer’s website and do your research before purchasing. (See “Where to Buy Keto Ingredients” on page ##.)
sweeteners–Read the labels of all sweeteners. Avoid sugar, dextrose, fructose, and maltodextrin (such as in Truvia and Splenda). See also, A Visual Guide to Keto Sweeteners by DietDoctor.
- Sukrin Gold
- Sukrin Bake
- Sukrin Icing Sugar
- Bocha Sweet
- organic Stevia
- organic Monk Fruit
condiments–homemade or organic and purchased in glass bottles. See also, A Visual Guide to Keto Fats and Sauces by DietDoctor.
- sugar-free ketchup
- sugar-free mustard
- mayonnaise–“Mayo” (page ##) or sugar-free and made with avocado or olive oil only
- low sugar vinegars–Wine and apple cider are generally the lowest, but read the label for sugar/carb content. Balsamic is high in carbs, so I only add a tiny bit to my other vinegar for flavor.
- sugar-free fermented pickles
- sugar-free salad dressings–For recipes, see “Sauces and Dressings” beginning on page ##.
- coconut aminos–A great substitute for soy sauce and tamari, but use sparingly as it is high-carb.
bone broth–“Bone Broth” (page ##) or organic and in a glass bottle only
collagen, gelatin, protein powder–Must be grass-fed, grass-finished, and organic.
Tip: The Visual Guide to Keto Diet Foods by Diet Doctor can be helpful in knowing what to eat or not, but remember, keto for anti-cancer does not contain dairy, is lower in carbs, and avoids toxins like cans, cartons, and plastic containers.

Organic Fats:
✴ See A Visual Keto Guide to Fats and Sauces by DietDoctor
Liquid fats–must be in a glass bottle, organic,hexane-free and cold-pressed when possible
- algae oil (hexane free)–neutral flavored
- almond oil
- avocado oil
- camellia tea seed oil
- macadamia oil
- hazelnut oil
- high oleic sunflower oil–neutral flavored (Must be high oleic as sunflower oil is polyunsaturated and inflammatory; sunflower oil is high oleic if polyunsaturated fat is 1.5g or below.)
- MCT C8 oil (must be C8)–neutral flavored
- olive oil–low heat only. Most olive oils in USA grocery stores are not ‘real’. If your olive oil does not solidify in the refrigerator, then it is not true olive oil. (See “Where to Buy Keto Ingredients” on page ##.)
- perilla oil
powdered fats
- C8 MCT powder– neutral flavored (must be pure C8 and not C8 mixed with C10, which is harder on the stomach)
solid fats (half mono and half saturated)
- organic chicken fat (schmaltz) and chicken skin–pastured, grass fed, ideally with no corn or soy feed
- organic cow or goat butter–pastured grass fed (local and fresh if possible)
- organic goose and duck fat–pastured, ideally with no corn or soy feed
- organic grass-fed ghee–pastured, 100% grass fed/finished animals only
- organic lard and bacon fat–pastured, hormone-free, nitrate- and sugar-free
- organic tallow–pastured 100% grass fed/ finished animals only
solid fats (mostly saturated)
- organic cacao butter, also called cocoa butter (do not confuse this with the one you put on your skin!). This is the food-grade fat from the chocolate fruit. Make sure it is 100% pure, with no sugars or dairy added.
- organic chocolate–chips or chunks, ideally 100% dark chocolate (also called baking chocolate)
- organic coconut oil
- organic palm kernel oil
Organic ‘Flours’ & Nuts:
- organic raw macadamia nut flour (or pulverized nuts)
- organic raw pecan meal or pecan flour (or pulverized nuts)
- sprouted raw pili nuts pulverized into flour/paste
- organic flaxseeds (must be freshly ground; high in carbs but good for pulling estrogen out of the body)
-organic raw pumpkin seeds
Note: Most keto recipes call for almonds or almond flour which is quite high in carbs and toxins/preservatives and should be avoided. . Never use peanuts, cashews or their flours, as they are a legume. Tapioca and arrowroot are VERY high carb and should be used only for a special occasion. Anytime a recipe calls for higher carb nut flour, please substitute macadamia, pecan and/or pili nut flour (see “Where to Buy Keto Ingredients” page ##).
Snacks:
chocolate–Must be organic and at least 92% dark chocolate or higher (ideally 100% dark chocolate or 100% cacao butter, which is white chocolate without the sweeteners). Note: Carbs can add up with dark chocolate, so enjoy in moderation. My recipes with cacao butter (white chocolate) have almost zero carbs.
pork rinds–Must be sugar-free, dairy-free, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, and humanely-raised.
nuts and seeds–Raw sprouted organic pili nuts, raw organic macadamia nuts, raw organic pecans (in small amounts, such as ¼ cup), sacha inchi (also called Inca peanuts–a cross between edamame and almonds), organic pumpkin seeds, and whole flaxseeds. Note: Avoid almonds (very high carb) and never eat cashews, as they are a legume. Ketones are generally higher if pili nuts, macadamia nuts, or pecans are used in any recipe.
chips and crackers–“Egg-Free Dairy-Free Tortilla Chips (page ##), “Nut Flour Crackers” (page ##), or fried chicken skins
Organic Beverages:
water–Must be filtered with a 3 to 4 cartridge filter that gets out heavy metals, VOC’s, fluoride, and radiation. (See “Where to Buy Keto Ingredients” on page ##.) Never use a plastic pitcher filter (such as a Brita) because they do not remove much of anything. Never purchase or store water in plastic bottles–only glass or metal.

Introduction
KETO/TCR:
There is a lot of confusion about the word “keto”. Many people in the medical profession and online refer to keto for weight-loss and do not take into consideration the nutrient density, hormone balancing, detoxification, quality of ingredients, or becoming “fat adapted”. I have made the decision to stop perpetuating this confusion by changing the emphasis from keto to Therapeutic Carbohydrate Reduction™ (TCR). By using cronometer.com with my 28-Day AntiCancer Repair & Reset program or my one-on-one coaching, Therapeutic Carbohydrate Reduction™ can be customized to gain, lose, or maintain weight while also adjusting targets for optimal protein, carbohydrate, and fat intake. I may still use the word “keto”, but please know that what I am referring to is Therapeutic Carbohydrate Reduction™. As with all diet and lifestyle changes, make sure to consult your doctor before starting TCR.
PROBLEM SOLVING:
Keto flu is real, but can be avoided. Plan to consume 2 to 4 litres of water and 2½ teaspoons of pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt per day by measuring them out each morning.) This will prevent headaches, dizziness, and lethargy. (See Day 18 of my 28-Day AntiCancer Repair & Reset program for more information. For a recipe, see “Electrolyte Water” on page ##.) Studies have shown that carbohydrates are more addictive than cocaine. If you are experiencing withdrawals, this is normal. You can either go cold turkey or gradually reduce your carbs, but the real key is increasing healthy fats. (See Day 5 of my 28-Day AntiCancer Repair & Reset program for more information.) Many people go low-carb, but forget that you need to provide the body an alternative source of energy, which is healthy fats. If your ketones are low or if you feel moody and tired, this is a likely lack of fat and sodium/electrolytes. . (For more information about making sure you are reaching 100% of your fat target each day by using cronometer.com, see Day 19 of my 28-Day AntiCancer Repair & Reset program.) If you are getting stuck, sign up for my 28-Day AntiCancer Repair & Reset program or consider one-on-one coaching with me to troubleshoot.
REVIEW:
The updated naming of the Therapeutic Ketogenic Diet is Therapeutic Carbohydrate Reduction™ (TCR ). I am working to normalize this name change because many people, especially doctors, confuse TCR with “internet” or weight-loss keto, which is not focused on nutrient density, weight goals, hormone balancing, and detoxification.
Want to learn more about Therapeutic Keto and Therapeutic Carbohydrate Reduction™? I have a list of benefits on my website (AlisonGannett.com) and the frequently asked questions page on VirtaHealth.com will be helpful, too. On the science of TCR, Dr. Stephen Phinney has an informative 3-part video series: Nutritional Ketosis and Ketogenic Diets (Part 1), Safety and Benefits of a Ketogenic Diet (Part 2), and Problem Solving a Ketogenic Diet (Part 3).
As you signed in our waiver, make sure to test your labs and DNA and consult your doctor before starting any new nutrition and lifestyle changes.
TESTING AND TRACKING EQUAL SUCCESS:
Cronometer.com is an on-line food tracking service. Before its existence, my clients and I had a really rough time tracking our daily food intake. I can honestly say I don’t think I would be alive today without cronometer.com to track my foods. (For more, see day 19 of my 28-Day AntiCancer Repair & Reset program.)
I really thought I was in therapeutic ketosis, but in reality, I was not! Many people want to skip this step, but with 99.9% of all people incorrectly thinking they are in anti-cancer keto, tracking food intake is key to figuring out where you may be going astray. I would also recommend ditching any other apps you are using, as this is the only one I am aware of that can adjust macros for anti-cancer, Therapeutic Carbohydrate Reduction™ .
Each person metabolizes food differently. The only true way to monitor your progress is to track what you are about to eat (using Cronometer.com), eat, and then test. (See below for how to adjust the settings correctly.) Enter all of your food for the day before you eat and make sure the colored, horizontal macro target bars are at 100% before starting to cook/prepare. Adjust as needed to reach 100%. Enjoy your meals and then test ketones 4 hours later with a blood ketone tester such as the Keto-Mojo. (The instructional videos on keto-mojo.com are great if you need assistance.) All of my recipes are some of the most therapeutic keto recipes available anywhere, but how you respond to each recipe is unique. For instance, coconut products always lower my ketones, even those with lower carbs, while 100% cacao mixed with LOTS of one of my keto fats keeps my ketones high (in a recipe such as my Life by Chocolate Brownies, page ##). For another person, the reverse may be true! Track, eat, and then test!
I recommend purchasing the Gold Membership, as it enables you to track each meal separately. To use my recipes for easier tracking, you must be my friend. (See Cronometer.com > Settings > Sharing > “Add a Friend”.) Once we are friends, you will be able to find my recipes by searching for AG and a recipe’s title. (For example, to find my “Dairy-Free Cream” recipe search for “AG Dairy-Free Cream”.) Up-to-date recipes will include “NEW” at the end, while recipes containing “Alison” are out-of-date and generally incorrect. Please double-check that the recipe ingredients in cronometer are accurate using this eCookbook as your guide. (Note: Sweeteners and optional ingredients are NOT entered into my cronometer recipes.)
CRONOMETER QUICK START GUIDE FOR MOBILE
CRONOMETER VIDEOS, TUTORIALS, INSTRUCTIONS, AND HELP
Suggested Cronometer Settings
Under “profile and targets”, make sure to adjust the settings to “ketogenic” and then “rigorous” for severe cancers/ill health, “moderate” for low grade cancers/ill health, and relaxed for general good health and longevity.
Activity level
- If you move around all day, choose “moderately active.”
- If bedridden, choose “lightly active.”
- If you are trying to gain weight and/or reverse cachexia, select the highest activity level, as that will raise your calorie and fat intake goal.
- For those with cancer, insulin resistance or need to gain or lose weight, please choose “Ketogenic”, then select “Rigorous” and “Total Carbs”.
- If you are healthy and just want to prevent cancer, choose “Ketogenic”, then select either “Moderate” or “Relaxed”.
Macros
Select “Total Carbs,” as everyone should track total carbs and not net carbs because each person metabolizes fiber differently.
Tips & Tricks
Do not enter in Cronometer:
- any type of non-glycemic sweetener from your recipes or food diary, as the body cannot digest it and thus the carbs don’t count.
- your supplements.
- prepared recipes unless they are mine or yours – instead, enter each ingredient separately, or better yet, create a new recipe so you can use it again and again.
- Conversion–One tablespoon equals 14 grams.
- If you have trouble finding a particular food, get creative. It doesn’t have to be exact. For example, if a search fails to find “100% organic Santa Barbara chocolate chips,” search “100% baking chocolate,” “100% chocolate” or “100% organic chocolate” and something will come up that you can use.
Enter Before You Eat
Your goal is to reach almost exactly 100% for each macro on your daily diary of carbs, protein, and fat. Use the colored horizontal bars to track this by entering the entire day’s food plan before you eat and see if you reach 100% at the end of the day. Make adjustments before you eat.
Entering your food before you eat is crucial. This way you can see if you are reaching your goals for carbs, fat, and protein and adjust your recipe or meal before you consume it.
More Fat
The number one mistake is not enough fat. The number two mistake is not enough veggies. Remember that “leafy veggies” have the lowest carb content. The thicker the vegetable, the more carbs it contains. If you are going over on your carbs, try adding more leafy veggies and only using thicker veggies such as onions, tomato, asparagus, eggplant, cucumber, cauliflower, or broccoli sparingly, as a condiment. Cooking thicker veggies in lots of keto fats from my fat list or deep frying them helps temper their carb effect.
Incorporating more fat is easy. Try adding my “Herb Puree and Chimichurri” (page ##), a rich sauce (such as my “Easy Hollandaise” on page ##), a salad dressing (see my recipes in “Sauces and Dressings” beginning on page ##), extra butter/ghee, or by deep or shallow pan-frying a protein or vegetable. Often people ask me how to get below 20 total carbs while also maximizing anti-cancer nutrition. My answer is by eating LOTS of veggies.
Easy Access
Use Cronometer.com on your laptop or desktop rather than your phone. This allows for easier access to tools that can show where carbs, protein or fats are not reaching 100%. It is very difficult to see this on your phone. If you are exhausted, task a friend or family member with entering your food plan ahead of time – for tomorrow or the week ahead – into your account for you.
Therapeutic Keto Testing
TEST, DON’T GUESS!
Since everyone’s metabolism is different, we could all eat the exact meal entered on Cronometer and not have the same levels of blood ketones.
Of all my clients, 99.9% are not in therapeutic ketosis due to the fact that they are not tracking and testing blood ketones.
By tracking our results, we can adjust carbs, protein, and fat on Cronometer to accurately reflect our unique, personal metabolism. (For more, see day 20 of my 28-Day AntiCancer Repair & Reset program.)
I suggest that all my clients order a Keto-Mojo meter. Shipping is available to most countries, but if it is not available in yours, have a friend ship one to you, or purchase another brand at your drugstore. The main advantage of Keto-Mojo is cost, since the blood ketone strips are only $0.99 each, versus $3-5 each for other brands.
According to Dr. Seyfried and Dr. Phinney, therapeutic ketosis is measured by blood ketones from 3-6. Between 0.5-3 millimoles per liter (mmol/l) is nutritional ketosis.
If you have a serious health condition, therapeutic ketosis will:
- be more effective for reversing insulin resistance,
- improve the immune system,
- repair mitochondria and DNA and cell signaling,
- stimulate cell messaging to destroy cancer cells,
- balance hormones,
- reduce inflammation,
- balance blood sugars,
- excrete toxins,
- repair leaky gut,
- improve mental health, and much more.
If you are testing once a day, test 4-6 hours after your midday meal. This way you are not only seeing if you are in ketosis, but doing what I call “recipe testing.” If your ketones are above 6, then you can add more carbs and protein to your meal next time. If they are low, then examine what you ate on Cronometer, looking at your fat, carbs, and protein to identify possible culprits. If you want to test your baseline, test at least 2 hours after waking up (same for glucose). Testing too early will not give you an accurate result and is described as ‘the dawn effect’.
Accurate Tracking and Testing
The nutritional data in this cookbook is approximate due to standardizing ingredients. Enter the recipe into Cronometer.com before you eat and double-check that all ingredients are accurate and you are not exceeding your macro targets. Everyone’s metabolism is different and you must test ketones 4 hours after eating a recipe to confirm or deny whether the recipe is keeping you in the ketone ranges suggested to you by your doctor.

Pasteurized Eggs
If you don’t have access to good pastured farm-raised eggs
pasteurize raw eggs from the store.
PREPARATION
Place the eggs in a pot with cold water.
Put the water on a medium heat burner and stand by to watch as the
temperature rises. You don’t want the temperature of the water to exceed 150°F. If you want to be exact, you can keep a thermometer probe in the
water. If you’re not using a thermometer, 140-150°F is the stage before bubbles start to form.
When you reach this temperature, lower the heat to maintain this temperature. Keep the eggs in the water for 3-5 minutes.
Egg-Free Recipe
If you are egg-free, this eCookbook contains many recipes that have egg substitutions with this symbol.
The recipe below works for recipes only if eggs are NOT the main ingredient.
Gelatin Substitute for One Egg
If you are in a hurry, you can try to add the two ingredients to your recipe without cooking them–it depends on the recipe if it works or not!
INGREDIENTS FOR 1 EGG
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon (10 grams) Vital Proteins or Great Lakes gelatin (If you have elevated ferritin, make sure it is sourced from poultry and not red meats!)
PREPARATION
Place the water in a small saucepan. Sprinkle with gelatin, sprinkling over the entire surface of the water. Let the saucepan sit untouched for 5 minutes.
After the 5 minutes is up, turn the burner on low and whisk for 1 minute, or until texture is smooth.
Use the mixture in the cake, the batch of cookies, pizza or whatever you’re making today!
Breakfast
Ultra Low-Carb Pancakes
I can eat this entire recipe, so feel free to double, triple, or even quadruple. If you have a big family, the “magic pill” inspired pancakes will be easier. I usually just eat these with fat on top (I want to spend my carb allowance on chocolate each day), but you can add Lakanto Maple Syrup to taste.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 farm-fresh, pasture-raised eggs (yolks and whites separated)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup keto fat (for frying) (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- ¼ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener
OPTIONAL
- ⅓ cup cooked Hubbard squash (lowest carb) or pumpkin
- handful of green veggies, pureed or 1 teaspoon powdered greens (such as Dr. Cowan’s Garden Threefold Blend Savory Powder or PaleoValley Organic Supergreens Powder)
- 1 teaspoon organic, sugar-free vanilla extract or the seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean
- top with whipped “Dairy-Free Thick Cream” (page ##), “Caramel Sauce” (page ##), Lakanto Sugar-Free Maple Syrup, butter, or ghee
PREPARATION
Preheat a thick frying pan on medium-low heat with keto fat.
Put egg whites in a food processor and whip until VERY stiff. (It should stick to the sides of the food processor and you can flip it upside-down without it falling out.)
Combine egg yolks, salt, cinnamon, and any of the listed optional ingredients in a bowl. Fold in egg whites gently and immediately pour into the preheated pan.
Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. (It takes much longer than a normal pancake.)
NOTES & TIPS
- If you want to double this recipe, make sure to have two pans ready and preheated. You should fry both pancakes simultaneously. (The egg whites will become too flat if the batter sits.)
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

Coconut Flour Waffles
INGREDIENTS
- ½ cup raw pecans or ¾ cup pili nuts or raw macadamia nuts
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 3 farm-fresh, pasture-raised eggs
- 1 cup liquid or melted keto fat such as avocado oil (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- ½ cup filtered water
PREPARATION
Heat up a waffle iron (such as Rome Industries Waffle Cast Iron) and lubricate with plenty of keto fat. (I like to use a heat tolerant pastry brush for the waffle iron. If you don’t have one, use an unbleached organic paper towel.)
Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulverize the nuts with coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the eggs, keto fat, and water, and pulse to combine.
Pour about ¼ cup of the batter into the hot waffle iron, spreading it out the full width of the iron. Close the iron and cook until crispy. Repeat with remaining batter.
Enjoy immediately, or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Zucchini Waffles, Pancakes, or Wraps
If you need to squeeze in more fat into your diet, pan fry these in a skillet instead of the waffle iron, so they can absorb more keto fat. If you can do butter, ghee or hollandaise you can increase your fats.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 medium zucchinis (about 4 cups)
- ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- ¼ cup heat-stable keto fat (for batter) (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 2 farm-fresh, pasture-raised eggs
- up to ½ cup heat-stable keto fat (for frying) (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
SAVORY OPTIONS
- sprinkle with everything bagel spices (to taste) before cooking
- onion and/or garlic powder, to taste
- fermented hot sauce, red chili flakes, or cayenne powder, to taste
- top with a fried egg and/or “Easy Hollandaise” (page ##)
SWEET OPTIONS
- 1 teaspoon organic, sugar-free vanilla extract (or the seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- top with butter, ghee, and/or Lakanto Sugar-Free Maple Syrup
PREPARATION
Spiralize the zucchini and place in a colander in the sink. Sprinkle with alt and let sit for ten minutes.
Meanwhile, heat up a waffle iron (such as Rome Industries Waffle Cast Iron) or skillet and lubricate with plenty of keto fat. (I like to use a heat tolerant pastry brush for the waffle iron. If you don’t have one, use an unbleached organic paper towel.)
Back at the sink, vigorously squeeze out as much water as possible from the zucchini, using your hands or a tea towel to wring. (It seems like a pain, but well worth not having a watery breakfast!)
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, add zucchini, and mix until well combined. Add any optional sweet or savory ingredients and mix again.
For waffles: Use tongs to put mixture in the waffle iron, spreading it out the full width of the iron. Close the iron and cook until crispy.
For pancakes/wraps: Cook one pancake/wrap at a time, or three small ones for easier flipping. Flip when bottom is golden.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate/freeze for an easy, on-the-go snack or sandwich wrap later. (To reheat, warm thawed pancake/waffle in a skillet or toaster oven.)

Magic Pill-Inspired Pancakes
You can make these with other nuts, but the carbs do add up quickly. Always test your ketones 4-6 hours after eating a new recipe to see how your metabolism works.
INGREDIENTS
- ¼ cup pili nuts, raw macadamia nuts, raw pecans, or “Nut Butter” (page ##) OR 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- a pinch of pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt (omit if nuts are salted)
- 2 farm-fresh, pasture-raised eggs
- heat-stable keto fat,enough for frying (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
OPTIONAL
- ½ cup cooked Hubbard squash or pumpkin
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon sugar-free vanilla extract (or the seeds scraped from ½ vanilla bean)
- Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener, to taste
PREPARATION
If using nuts, pulverize them in a food processor first. Then, add the remaining ingredients and combine. If using nut butter or coconut flour, just whisk everything together in a bowl.
Cook pancakes over medium heat, flipping when top firms up and bottom is golden.
Serve immediately, topped with lots of keto fat.

Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake
This recipe is a bit higher in carbs, so use it as a treat or on a special occasion.
INGREDIENTS
Batter:
- ½ cup keto fat (such as melted butter, ghee or coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil, algae oil, or high oleic sunflower oil) (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 5 farm-fresh, pasture-raised eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking soda
- ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener
Swirl:
- 4 tablespoons keto fat (such as butter, ghee, or coconut oil) (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2-4 tablespoons Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener
- ¼ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
OPTIONAL
- ¼ cup chopped nuts (pili nuts, raw macadamia nuts, raw pecans)
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 325°F.
For the batter, whip eggs in a food processor then add keto fat and combine. Add the rest of the batter ingredients (baking soda, salt, coconut flour, and sweetener) to the food processor and mix.
Pour batter into an 8 x 8 glass baking dish, and set aside.
For the swirl, melt keto fat in a small pan, remove from heat, then mix in the rest of the swirl ingredients (cinnamon, sweetener, and salt).
Drizzle the swirl mixture over the batter. Then, using a butter knife or spatula, make big zig-zags across the pan about four times. (This will create the swirl.)
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Muffin Variation: Divide batter into a stainless-steel muffin pan with unbleached paper liners or a silicone muffin mold (such as the Medium 12-cup Mold by Freshware). Top each muffin with a bit of the swirl mixture and loosely stir it in a couple times. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Keto Toast
Most keto bread (especially my recipes) is too high in fat to put in the toaster. Use this method instead to prevent a fire or electrical short!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 serving of bread such as “Coconut Flour Sandwich Buns” (page ##), “Nut Flour Sandwich Buns” (page ##), “Best Ever Psyllium Sandwich Buns” (page ##), “Nut Flour Bagels” (page ##), “Keto Yeast Bread” (page ##), “Ultra Low-Carb Loaf Bread” (page ##), “French Toast Loaf Bread” (page ##), “NY Keto Bagels” (page ##), or Julian Bakery Paleo Thin Coconut Bread (see notes)
- 3 tablespoon heat-stable keto fat such as ghee or olive oil (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- pinch of pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt (optional)
PREPARATION
Warm up a thick-bottomed cast iron skillet or stainless-steel frying pan on medium heat.
Add the keto fat and optional salt, if desired.
Add your bread and toast for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown or to your liking. Watch closely–it toasts slowly at first, but can go from perfect to burned in a flash!
NOTES & TIPS
- When using “Best Ever Psyllium Sandwich Buns” (page ##), make sure to keep the bun weighed down while toasting by placing a heavy pan on top.
- Using the Julian Bakery Paleo Thin Coconut Bread will result in higher carbs. Other varieties from Julian Bakery are not organic! Also, do not purchase the bread from Amazon because sometimes it arrives moldy. Order directly from JulianBakery.com or check your local quality grocery store in the refrigerated/frozen section.

Green Eggs
Sometimes I just get sick of eating salads and stir fries! Hiding greens in everything is my key for my family. They can’t pick out the veggies if they are emulsified into the dish. At first kids are wary, but cook them in enough butter or ghee, and everyone will rave!
INGREDIENTS
- 3 farm-fresh, pasture-raised eggs
- 1 cup leafy greens such as chard, kale, spinach, mustard greens, or beet greens
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, dill, rosemary, thyme, tarragon, or oregano
- ¼ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper OR fermented hot sauce, red chili flakes, or cayenne powder, to taste
- ¼ cup heat-stable keto fat (such as butter, ghee, or avocado oil), for frying (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
PREPARATION
In a food processor, pulse together the eggs, greens/herbs, salt, and pepper until smooth. Include the optional fermented hot sauce, red chili flakes, or cayenne powder, if using.
Warm up the keto fat in a stainless-steel frying pan or cast iron skillet on medium-low heat. Carefully pour in the egg mixture and cook, only stirring occasionally, until your preferred doneness.

Deep-Fried Poached Eggs
I thought I came up with this idea on my own, but then found out it is a French cooking technique! A great way to help get your fats up if needed, and if not, it is just plain YUMMY. I love this recipe served on my “Best Ever Psyllium Sandwich Buns” (page ##) with sautéed leafy greens and topped with my “Easy Hollandaise” (page ##).
INGREDIENTS
- ½ cup heat-stable keto fat (such as butter, ghee, or mild olive oil), for frying (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 4 farm-fresh, pasture-raised eggs
- 1 tablespoon boiling filtered water
- pink Himalayan Salt or Redmond’s Real Salt, to taste
- ground black pepper, to taste
OPTIONAL
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, dill, rosemary, thyme, tarragon, oregano
- fermented hot sauce, red chili flakes, or cayenne powder, to taste
PREPARATION
In a 6-inch stainless steel or cast iron skillet on medium heat, warm the keto fat.
Using a flat surface (versus the edge of the pan, so the yolks won’t break), crack each egg and gently place in the oil.
Carefully pour the boiling water into the pan, then quickly cover with a glass lid if possible to steam the eggs. Cook for 3 minutes for a soft-poach, 4 minutes for medium, and 5 to 6 minutes for well done.
Season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs, if desired, and enjoy!

Low-Carb Granola
I avoided granola for eight years before I finally broke down and created a lower-carb version on my own. All the recipes I could find out there had so many carbs! A wonderful bonus: Dr. Nasha says research shows that flaxseed and pumpkin seeds pull cancer-driving estrogen out of our bodies. Enjoy sparingly as the carbs add up quickly, even though you would be hard-pressed to find a lower-carb granola anywhere.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup roughly chopped nuts (pili nuts, raw macadamia nuts, raw pecans)
- 1 cup flaxseed (brown, golden, or a mix)
- 1 cup of raw pumpkin seeds
- 2 cups sugar-free, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, humanely-raised pork rind crumbles (such as 4505 Pork Rind Crumbles or pulverized 4505 Pork Rind Cracklins) (see note)
- ½ cup Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener
-½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free vanilla extract or the seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean
- ½ cup neutral-flavored keto fat (melted coconut oil, ghee, or cacao butter will make a chunky granola, while high oleic sunflower oil or macadamia nut oil will make it more crumbly) (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
OPTIONAL
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- food-grade essential oil or sugar-free extract, such as coconut, toffee, orange, raspberry (see my list “Where to Buy Keto Ingredients” on page ##)
- ½ cup 100% dark chocolate, chopped or chips (such as SantaBarbaraChocolate.com or from the baking section of your local quality grocery store)
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 300°F.
Mix everything together in a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish or stainless-steel roasting pan. Bake for 20 minutes, then stir and bake for another 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, and without stirring, let it cool down at room temperature. When cool to the touch, break up the granola and store in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 to 7 days. This granola also freezes well.
NOTES & TIPS
- You won’t taste the pork rind crumbles in the least. They totally disappear, really helping to lower the overall carbs.
- Since this granola is relatively high in carbs, it is best served in small amounts over something with lots of fat, such as “Dairy-Free Ice Cream or Popsicles” (page ##), “Autoimmune Keto Ice Cream or Popsicles” (page ##), “Easy Dairy Ice Cream or Popsicles” (page ##), “Dairy-Free Coconut-Free Yogurt” (page ##), “Dairy-Free Fruit Pudding” (page ##), “Dairy-Free Thick Cream” (page ##), “Dairy-Free Citrus or Fruit Curd” (page ##), “Cheesecake” (page ##), or “Key Lime Custard” (page ##).

Mayonnaise
INGREDIENTS
- 2 farm-fresh, pasture-raised egg yolks*
- zest of 1 lemon or lime
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, lime juice, or low-sugar vinegar (such as apple cider vinegar)
- ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- ground black pepper (or hot pepper flakes), to taste
- 2 tablespoons cold, filtered water
- 1 cup keto fat (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
PREPARATION
If using a food processor: Put egg yolks, zest, juice, salt, pepper, and cold water inside and process until foamy.
Next, while the food processor is running, drizzle in keto fat VERY SLOWLY. (Don’t add too fast or it will separate and get yucky.) Once it starts to thicken you can add the keto fat a bit faster.
If your mayo does separate, remove it from the food processor and set aside. Now, in the empty food processor, blend together one egg yolk and 1 tablespoon cold water. Then SLOWLY add back in the separated mayo mixture to bring it together again.
Store in a glass canning jar in the fridge for up to 5 days.
If using an immersion blender: Add egg yolks, zest, juice, salt, pepper, and cold water to a tall canning jar and pulse until foamy.
Next, drizzle keto fat VERY SLOWLY while you pulse up and down. (Don’t add too fast or it will separate and get yucky.) Once it starts to thicken you can add the keto fat a bit faster.
If your mayo does separate, in another jar blend together one egg yolk and 1 tablespoon cold water. Then SLOWLY add in the separated mayo mixture to bring it together again.
Store in a glass canning jar in the fridge for up to 5 days.
NOTES & TIPS
- * If you don’t have access to good pastured farm-raised eggs use the recipe “Pasteurized Eggs” on page 16 to pasteurize raw eggs from the store. (You can find a recipe for egg-free autoimmune mayo at FurtherFood.com.)
- Balsamic vinegar is very high in sugar, but if you want the flavor, simply mix a splash of it with the low-sugar vinegar.
- For herbed mayo, blend in basil, cilantro, garlic, hot pepper, shallot, green onion, and/or ginger, to taste.
- This is great to use in “Lazy Salad Dressing” (page ##)!

- “Dairy-Free Cream” (page ##) or Green Valley organic, lactose-free cream cheese
- white wine or red wine (Dry Farm Wines)–cook down for at least 30 minutes or longer
- mushrooms–wild if possible, for added medicinal benefits
PREPARATION
Gently simmer bone broth (and wine, if using) on the stove for 30 minutes, or until it has reduced in volume by half.
Add konjac powder, and simmer to thicken. It will take several minutes. (You may add up to an additional ¼ teaspoon of konjac powder, if needed, but be careful not to add too much. It is impossible to undo the gooey, sticky mess if you overdo it!)
Once gravy has thickened, stir in salt (along with cream/cream cheese, mushrooms, and/or any chopped herbs, if using).

Salsa
While you can find sugar-free salsa in the store in glass jars, nothing beats the real thing in the heat of summer. I make extra and freeze it in mason jars to enjoy all winter.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 medium in-season summer tomatoes (or 4 tomatoes from a glass jar), cored
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 green onion, minced
- 6 sprigs of cilantro (leaves and stems), chopped
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt, to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper or 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
OPTIONAL
- add ¼ teaspoon crushed cumin seeds or ⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
- fold in ½ of a diced avocado (just before serving)
PREPARATION
Quick method: Chop the tomatoes and gently stir them together with the remaining ingredients. Let the salsa sit for at least 5 minutes before serving (so the flavors can develop).
Thick method: In a food processor, pulse the tomatoes. Then, place them in a fine sieve over a pan to drain (and reserve the liquid for later use in soups and bone broth or for slow cooking proteins). Meanwhile, add the garlic, green onion, cilantro, vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper or jalapeño, and cumin (if using) to the food processor and pulse until desired consistency. Stir in the drained tomatoes and let sit for 5 minutes before serving (so the flavors can develop).
Store salsa in a glass canning jar and keep refrigerated for up to 7 days. If freezing (use thick method), make sure to leave at least 2 inches of airspace in the jar to allow for expansion.

Lime Mexican Dressing
One day I made tacos and tostadas filled with my favorite toppings, but felt like something was still missing, so I created this dressing. It is lower in carbs and higher in good fats than salsa. I also love this on salads.

Easy Hollandaise
Great fatty sauces make almost anything keto. Your food doesn’t have to be dripping in fat if it is COVERED in fat–ha! Keto should be better than regular food–just watch how the French eat.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 farm-fresh, pasture-raised egg yolks*
- ⅓ cup lemon juice (or ¼ cup of a preserved lemon)
- 1 cup liquid/melted keto fat (such as high oleic sunflower oil, algae oil, melted butter, ghee, or coconut oil) (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
OPTIONAL
- fresh herbs
- zest of 1 lemon
- fermented hot sauce, red chili flakes, or cayenne powder, to taste
- “Dairy-Free Cream” (page ##) or Green Valley organic, lactose-free cream cheese
PREPARATION
Put egg yolks and lemon juice in a food processor.
While the food processor is running, SUPER SLOWLY drizzle in keto fat in a tiny stream.
Then add salt and pepper (and any optional ingredients, if using).
Blend until warm and serve immediately, or store in a glass canning jar in the fridge.
NOTES & TIPS
- * If you don’t have access to good pastured, farm-raised eggs use the recipe Pasteurized Eggs on page 16 to pasteurize raw eggs from the store.
- Reserve the egg whites from this recipe and use for “Nut Flour Sandwich Buns” (page ##), Meringue Cookies, or Meringue Pie Crust.
- I used to warm this up before serving over meat, eggs, and veggies, but now I don’t even bother. Just spoon the sauce over something hot, such as my “Fried Greens” (page ##) or “Deep-Fried Poached Eggs” (page ##), and voila!

Poppy Seed Dressing
My nieces were addicted to Brianna’s Poppy Seed dressing, but it was a sugar bomb! So I had to re-create a special recipe just for them.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup liquid keto fat (such as olive oil) (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 2 farm-fresh, pasture-raised egg yolks*
- 2 tablespoons filtered water (may omit but won’t be as creamy)
- ¼ cup low-sugar vinegar (such as apple cider vinegar)
- 2 tablespoons green, white, or yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- ¼ cup Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener, or more to taste
PREPARATION
Blend everything but the keto fat together in a food processor.
With the food processor on low speed, SLOWLY drizzle in the liquid keto fat. (If you add it too quickly the dressing will break/separate.)
The mixture should be thick and creamy. If not, don’t be dismayed. Dump it all into another container and put one tablespoon of water and one egg yolk in the food processor and SLOWLY drizzle in the mixture that separated.
Store in a glass canning jar and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
NOTES & TIPS
- *If you can’t do eggs, and want it to be creamy, add 1 tablespoon of sugar-free mustard instead of the egg yolks.
- Balsamic vinegar is very high in sugar, but if you want the flavor, simply mix a splash of it with the low-sugar vinegar.
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

- fermented hot sauce, red chili flakes, or cayenne powder, to taste
Mexican version
- substitute ginger with 1 tablespoon fresh oregano (or 1 teaspoon dried oregano)

Nut Cheese
I searched high and low for a cheese in the store that was dairy-free, organic, free of vegetable oils, emulsifiers, and chemical preservatives. I finally gave up and made my own. It was much easier than I thought! My husband and I really enjoy this cheese with my “Nut Flour Crackers” (page ##) and on pizzas (see “Nut Flour Mini Pizza Crusts” on page ##, “Pizza Crust” on page ##, or “Paleo NY Pizza Crust” on page ##).
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup pili nuts or raw macadamia nuts (must be a nut without a skin for a smooth consistency)
- ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt, plus more for soaking
- 4 tablespoons keto fat (such as olive oil) (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 4 teaspoons low-sugar vinegar (such as apple cider vinegar), lime juice, or lemon juice
OPTIONAL
Either add into the mixture before blending or make a cheese ball later and roll it in these seasonings (fresh is best):
- rosemary, thyme, parsley, and/or garlic
- oregano, cilantro, and/or garlic
- hot pepper flakes or cracked black pepper
PREPARATION
Place nuts in a large canning jar, fill with filtered water and a pinch of salt, and soak overnight.
After soaking, strain the nuts and rinse until the water runs clear.
Put the nuts, salt, keto fat, vinegar, and any spices, if desired, in a food processor or blender. Purée until smooth.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for later.
Feta-style Variation:
Spread mixture onto a stainless-steel baking sheet lined with unbleached parchment paper or a silicone baking mat (such as Mrs. Anderson’s Big Baking Mat). Bake at 300°F until crumbly like feta cheese.

Zucchini Cheese
Another option for making this recipe is to use cauliflower. Thanks for the inspiration Liz! Adapted to be lower carb from I Eat Real Food.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 cups peeled and chopped zucchini or cauliflower florets
- ¾ cup filtered water, for steaming
- 3-4 tablespoons keto fat such as coconut oil, olive oil, or ghee (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 3-4 tablespoons lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1–2 tablespoons onion powder
- 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 6 tablespoons gelatin such as Vital Proteins or Great Lakes Beef Gelatin (see “Yes Foods” list on page ##)
OPTIONAL
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh herbs or 1 teaspoon dried herbs such as basil, oregano, parsley, or dill
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric (for color)
- 1 dairy-free probiotic capsule
PREPARATION
Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the zucchini or cauliflower. Cover and simmer on medium-low heat for 5 to 8 minutes. Drain off the water completely.
Add your steamed vegetables to a blender with the keto fat, lemon juice/apple cider vinegar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutritional yeast. Add the turmeric and/or herbs, if using. Blend on high until smooth.
Reduce the blender speed to low and sprinkle in the gelatin. Then, quickly blend on high to make sure everything is incorporated.
If adding a probiotic capsule, wait for the mixture to cool to the touch in the blender, then add the capsule and blend on low to combine.
Pour into a 9 x 11-inch pan and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set. To speed up the setting process, freeze the pan for 20 minutes first, then transfer to the refrigerator.
Once set, you can slice, dice, grate, or melt the cheese.
Store securely wrapped or in an airtight glass container in the fridge. For the best flavor, enjoy within 7 days.

Bread
Coconut Flour Sandwich Buns
INGREDIENTS
- ½ cup raw pecans or ¾ cup pili nuts or raw macadamia nuts
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 3 farm-fresh, pasture-raised eggs
- 1 cup liquid keto fat, melted solid keto fat, or a mix (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- ½ cup filtered water
OPTIONAL
- 1 clove garlic and 1 sprig rosemary, destemmed
- 1 clove garlic and 1 green onion
- 1 clove garlic and 3 sprigs oregano, destemmed
- 1 clove garlic and 3 sprigs parsley, destemmed
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a food processor, pulverize the nuts with coconut flour, baking powder, and salt (and any optional ingredients).
Add the eggs, keto fat, and water and then pulse until combined.
Spoon the batter evenly into silicone bun molds (such as two of the 3-Cavity Disc Molds by Freshware). If you don’t have molds, turn canning jar rings upside down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat (such as Mrs. Anderson’s Big Baking Mat) and fill with batter.
Cook for 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
NOTES & TIPS
- These buns are great to use for my “Keto Toast” (page ##) and “Keto Dairy-Free Grilled Cheese” (page ##) recipes!
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

Best Ever Psyllium Sandwich Buns
I was on a quest in 2021 to create a better bread recipe that was less greasy and super low-carb. I modified my tortilla recipe, and this bread was the result. It is fluffy and soft in texture.
INGREDIENTS
- 1¼ cups nuts (pili nuts, raw macadamia nuts, raw pecans) or “Nut Flour” (page ##)
- 2 packed tablespoons of Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener (see note)
- 3 tablespoons psyllium husk powder (see note)
- 2 teaspoons aluminum-free baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 farm-fresh, pasture-raised egg whites
- 1 cup just-boiled water
OPTIONAL
- sprinkle with garlic and/or onion flakes before baking
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a food processor, combine the nuts or nut flour, sweetener, psyllium husk powder, baking soda, and salt. Add vinegar and egg whites, and pulse to combine. With the food processor running, carefully pour in the hot water. Do not overmix–just bring everything together into a gooey batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into silicone bun molds (such as two of the 3-Cavity Disc Molds by Freshware) or create 6 mounds of batter on a greased baking sheet and flatten with a spatula until about ¾-inch thick.
Top with garlic and/or onion flakes, if desired, pressing them into the batter with a spatula.
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until dark golden brown. (They will puff up a lot in the oven and collapse when removed.)
Serve immediately with the toppings of your choice, use for “Keto Toast” (page ##) (see note), or store in the fridge (for up to 5 days) until ready to eat. These buns also freeze well, for up to 3 months. (Slice before freezing, if desired. Or temper a frozen bun in the fridge for a few hours before slicing.)
NOTES & TIPS
- The sweetener is used to balance the bitter taste of the psyllium husk powder, not to sweeten the bread’s taste.
- Regarding psyllium husk powder (must be powder!):
- If you have a sensitivity, prepare one of my other recipes instead. See “Tortillas” (page ##), “Burrito Wrap” (page ##), “Taco Shells, Tortillas, or Tostadas” (page ##), or “Veggie Tortillas” ( page ##).
- The psyllium husk powder may cause your dough (raw or cooked) to take on a slightly purple color. Fear not–this is a natural reaction of the psyllium husk powder. (I just tell my friends and family that it is like “blue corn”.)
- Psyllium husk powder is not digested well by the body, so the carbs might appear higher than they actually are. You should test your reaction to this recipe with the Keto Mojo ketone tester 4 hours after eating!
- When using for “Keto Toast” (page ##), make sure to keep the bun weighed down while toasting by placing a heavy pan on top. Alternatively, you can slice a cooled bun in half and place in a toaster or broiler. Keto breads stay moist in the middle, so toasting will bring out the best flavor and texture.
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

Nut Flour
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup pili nuts, raw macadamia nuts, raw pecans
PREPARATION
Pulverize nuts in a food processor until they look like coarse sand.
Different nuts will result in different textures. Do not be afraid if the consistency is different from regular wheat flour; it will still behave as so!
Careful: Over-processing will result in nut butter!
NOTES & TIPS
- A food processor is the best tool for this recipe, but if all you have is a blender, make sure you stir (and scrape down the sides) frequently during the process.
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

Nut Flour Sandwich Buns
This is one of my top three go-to recipes that I live by. You can use the same recipe to make sandwich bread, tortillas, hamburger buns, crackers, muffins, naan and more.
Once a week, I make several batches and either freeze them or put in glass Tupperware. It can also be used to make all kinds of ‘bread’ products that actually taste good. It even makes a stellar batter for frying (see “Fish Sticks” on page ##, “Tempura Vegetables” on page ## or “Chicken-Fried Steak” on page ##.
I order bulk plain sprouted pili nuts here. Alternatively, use the more expensive pili nut butter, another type of nut, such as raw organic macadamia or pecans or see my list of nuts under “Organic ‘Flours’ & Nuts” on page ##. The flavor of the bread changes completely with different nuts. If you’re metabolically stable and/or your labs are perfect, you can try organic almonds, but for 99% of all people trying to do therapeutic keto, almonds and almond flour are not recommended.
Note: This recipe does not work well in a bread loaf pan.
Nut Flour Sandwich Buns
INGREDIENTS
- 6 farm-fresh, pasture-raised egg whites, at room temperature (see note)
- 1 cup pili nuts (lowest carb) or raw macadamia nuts OR 1 cup “Nut Flour” (page ##)
- ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt (omit if nuts are salted)
- ¼ cup heat stable liquid keto fat (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
OPTIONAL
- add 2 teaspoons psyllium husk powder (see note)
- mix in fresh and destemmed rosemary, oregano, and/or parsley and a garlic clove (A great way to add veggies and nutrients!)
- top with your choice of salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, or Italian or Mexican herb blends
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a food processor, combine the nuts or nut flour, salt, keto fat, and any optional herbs or garlic. Blend until paste-like, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl and pulsing again as needed.
Put six egg whites into a stand mixer (or into a medium bowl and use a hand mixer). Blend until you have standing peaks. (You have achieved this when the mixture is glossy and the peak tips do not curl over, but rather stand up straight. Over and under mixing will cause the egg whites to separate.)
Gently add the egg whites (and psyllium powder, if using) to the nut mixture in the food processor and pulse about three to five times until just BARELY combined, so as to not let the egg whites fall. Scrape down the sides of the food processor and gently stir a couple times to make sure everything is combined. (Sometimes the nut mixture can get stuck around the edges.)
Spoon batter into silicone bun molds (such as two of the 3-Cavity Disc Molds by Freshware) to create six buns or “pieces of bread”. If you do not have molds, just line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and form the batter into 6 equal circles.
If you didn’t add flavor to the inside of the batter, you can add spices as a topping.
Bake for 30 minutes until golden.
NOTES & TIPS
- Reserve the egg yolks from this recipe and use for “Dairy-Free Ice Cream or Popsicles” (page ##).
- Regarding psyllium husk powder (must be powder!):
- If you have a sensitivity, prepare one of my other bread recipes instead. See “Coconut Flour Sandwich Buns” (page ##), “Flatbread or Naan” (page ##), or “Keto Yeast Bread” (page ##).
- The psyllium husk powder may cause your dough (raw or cooked) to take on a slightly purple color. Fear not–this is a natural reaction of the psyllium husk powder. (I just tell my friends and family that it is like “blue corn”.)
- Psyllium husk powder is not digested well by the body, so the carbs might appear higher than they actually are. You should test your reaction to this recipe with the Keto Mojo ketone tester 4 hours after eating!
- This recipe does not work well in a bread loaf pan.
- If you prepare the batter with only 2 tablespoons of keto fat, you can use it to make “Nut Flour Mini Pizza Crusts” (page##).
- These buns are great to use for my “Keto Toast” (page ##) and “Keto Dairy-Free Grilled Cheese” (page ##) recipes!

Keto Yeast Bread
INGREDIENTS
- ½ cup warm filtered water in pre-warmed glass
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 3 cups nuts (pili nuts, raw macadamia nuts, or raw pecans) OR 3 cups “Nut Flour” (page ##)
- ¾ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 4 farm-fresh, pasture-raised eggs
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
OPTIONAL
- ½ teaspoon garlic or onion powder or flakes
- fermented hot sauce, red chili flakes, or cayenne powder, to taste
- 2 teaspoons chopped herbs (such as parsley or oregano)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to the lowest setting. (Often this is 170°F.) When up to temperature, turn the oven off and keep the door closed to maintain the warmth.
Add yeast to the warm water (in a pre-warmed glass) and combine. Let sit for 5–10 minutes, until foamy.
While waiting for the yeast to bloom, purée the nuts or nut flour, salt, baking powder, eggs, and apple cider vinegar in a food processor.
Add the foamy yeast/water mixture and pulse to combine.
Spread batter into a heavily greased or parchment paper-lined loaf pan or into greased silicone bun molds (such as two of the 3-Cavity Disc Molds by Freshware). If you don’t have a loaf pan or molds, turn canning jar rings upside down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat (such as Mrs. Anderson’s Big Baking Mat) and fill with batter.
Top with any optional herbs and spices, and put into the pre-warmed (now turned off) oven for the dough to rise. (This can be for 10 minutes if you are in a rush, but leaving it to rise for 30 minutes to an hour will result in lighter-density bread.)
When dough has risen, reset your oven to 350°F. For a loaf, bake for 60 minutes. For buns, bake for 15-20 minutes. Let cool completely before removing from pan/molds.
Store in fridge, or slice and freeze for later.

Veggie Tortillas
INGREDIENTS
- 4 medium zucchinis, chopped (about 4 cups) (also works with radish, kohlrabi or turnip)
- ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 1 farm-fresh, pasture-raised egg
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour or 1 teaspoon psyllium husk powder (see note) or 1 teaspoon konjac powder or 2 tablespoons sugar-free, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, humanely-raised pork rind crumbles (such as 4505 Pork Rind Crumbles or pulverized 4505 Pork Rind Cracklins)
- ground black pepper (or hot pepper), to taste
Optional
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese, “Nut Cheese” (page ##), Green Valley organic, lactose-free cream cheese, or raw goat cheese
PREPARATION
In a food processor, puree the zucchini with salt. (If you don’t have a food processor, grate the zucchini and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt.)
Put the zucchini/salt mixture in a colander over the sink and let rest for ten minutes. Remove the water by pushing on it with your hands. Place drained mixture into a mixing bowl or back in the food processor.
Add the egg, coconut flour/psyllium husk powder/konjac powder/pork rind crumbles, pepper, and cheese, if using. Mix together by hand or pulse in the food processor to combine.
Place handfuls (about ¼ cup) of mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread out each tortilla with your fingers.
Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Let cool before removing from baking sheet.
NOTES & TIPS
- Regarding psyllium husk powder (must be powder!):
- If you have a sensitivity, prepare this recipe using the coconut flour, konjac powder, or pork rind crumbles.
- The psyllium husk powder may cause your dough (raw or cooked) to take on a slightly purple color. Fear not–this is a natural reaction of the psyllium husk powder. (I just tell my friends and family that it is like “blue corn”.)
- Psyllium husk powder is not digested well by the body, so the carbs might appear higher than they actually are. You should test your reaction to this recipe with the Keto Mojo ketone tester 4 hours after eating!

Egg-Free Dairy-Free Tortillas
I have missed tortillas WAY more than bread over the past several years. Store-bought low-carb tortillas (such as Siete) are not organic and very high in carbs. And when my DNA showed that I could not do dairy, this made many keto tortilla recipes unacceptable. After hundreds of attempts, I have finally succeeded in a recipe that I love, my family loves, and even my cat sampled (see photo).
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups raw macadamia nuts or 2 cups “Nut Flour” (page ##)
- 6 tablespoons psyllium husk powder (see note)
- 1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 1 cup filtered, just-boiled water
PREPARATION
Place macadamia nuts in a food processor and pulse until broken up into little pieces, but not yet nut butter. Add psyllium husk powder and salt, and pulse until just combined. (Do not overmix!)
While the food processor is running, SLOWLY drizzle in hot water through the hole on the top. The dough should start collecting into a lump the size of a baseball. Stop processing and scrape down the sides, as needed. (This will help to keep your food processor’s motor from working too hard and failing.) Once the dough ball comes together, turn off the food processor, and let the dough rest for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, warm a greased frying pan or cast iron tortilla skillet over medium heat. Divide the dough in half, then in half again, and then in half again to create 8 balls.
Place a dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper and use a tortilla press or rolling pin to form a 6-inch circle. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper, bring the bottom sheet over to the stove, and flip the dough onto your warmed frying pan or tortilla griddle. Carefully peel away the parchment paper and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until polka dots of golden brown appear. Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Fill tortillas with your favorite toppings and enjoy! I love them with “Shredded Beef” (page ##) or “Pulled Pork” (page ##), “Salsa” (page ##), “Coleslaw or Taco Slaw” (page ##), fermented hot sauce, and fresh cilantro.
Store cooked tortillas in the fridge and eat within 5 days, or freeze.
NOTES & TIPS
- Regarding psyllium husk powder (must be powder!):
- If you have a sensitivity, prepare one of my other recipes instead. See “Nut Flour Tortillas” (page ##), “Burrito Wrap” (page ##), “Taco Shells, Tortillas, or Tostadas” (page ##), or “Veggie Tortillas” (page ##).
- The psyllium husk powder may cause your dough (raw or cooked) to take on a slightly purple color. Fear not–this is a natural reaction of the psyllium husk powder. (I just tell my friends and family that it is like “blue corn”.)
- Psyllium husk powder is not digested well by the body, so the carbs might appear higher than they actually are. You should test your reaction to this recipe with the Keto Mojo ketone tester 4 hours after eating!
- You can also make chips from this recipe–see “Egg-Free Dairy-Free Tortilla Chips” (page ##).
- After you have prepared these tortillas, be sure to wash your food processor as soon as possible. When the dough dries, it gets as hard as cement!
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

Egg-Free Dairy-Free Tostadas
Prepare “Egg-Free Dairy-Free Tortillas” (page ##) as directed, but cook the tortillas for longer–about 5 minutes on each side–to create tostadas. (Watch them carefully to avoid burning!) Alternatively, deep fry each tortilla in ½-inch of heat-stable keto fat until crispy on each side. Enjoy immediately with your favorite toppings, or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Taco shells, Tortillas, or Tostada
INGREDIENTS
- ¼-inch thick slices (or about 2 ounces, grated) of your favorite hard cheese (such as Parmesan, Romano, manchego or cheddar)
PREPARATION
Heat cast iron pan on medium until warm.
Arrange cheese in a nice circle just a bit smaller than the tortilla you want. (Don’t go too big!)
Let the cheese melt until crispy around the edges and a spatula can lift the side.
Flip it and cook for just a few seconds on the second side.
Remove and mold into a taco shell (by placing it over a glass) or just keep flat for a tostada or tortilla.
Fill with your favorite fixings and enjoy!
NOTES & TIPS
- If you prefer a softer shell, tortilla, or tostada, don’t flip.

Burrito Wrap
These nut-free and dairy-free tortillas are great for enchiladas or making a burrito. If you don’t have nuts or can’t eat nuts, you can make two quick tortillas with the following method:
INGREDIENTS
- 3 farm-fresh, pasture-raised eggs
- 1 teaspoon coconut flour (or konjac powder)
- pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt, to taste
- ground black pepper (or hot pepper), to taste
PREPARATION
Thoroughly whisk eggs with flour, salt, and pepper.
Pour half of the mixture into a cast iron tortilla skillet or a 10 to 12-inch skillet on medium heat and rotate the pan around quickly to spread the mixture wall to wall. MOVE FAST!
Use a big spatula to flip when slightly golden. Repeat with the remaining half of the mixture. Enjoy immediately, or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Fast Crepe Wrap
I use this easy crepe as a wrap around almost anything you can imagine!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 farm-fresh, pasture-raised eggs
- 1 teaspoon coconut flour
- pinch of pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 2 tablespoons heat-stable keto fat (such as butter, ghee, or avocado oil), for frying (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
OPTIONAL
- ¼ cup fresh herbs, destemmed and chopped (such as cilantro, basil, tarragon, oregano, thyme, or parsley)
PREPARATION
In a food processor, pulse together the eggs, coconut flour, salt, and fresh herbs, if using. This will create a thin batter.
Grease a frying pan, crepe pan, or cast iron tortilla skillet with the keto fat and warm up on medium heat. Carefully pour the batter onto the pan, then quickly tip the pan in every direction to spread the mixture evenly in a very thin layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on one side (or until set), then flip and cook the other side for about 30 seconds (or until set). Careful not to overcook the crepe, which will result in a rubbery texture.
Enjoy immediately (see suggestions below), or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
NOTES & TIPS
- Serve alongside a casserole, wrap up a salad, make a sandwich, use as a spring roll or burrito wrap, or fill with “Chocolate Sauce” (page ##) or “Caramel Sauce” (page ##).
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

Savory Pot Pie Crust
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup nuts (pili nuts, raw macadamia nuts, or raw pecans) or 1 cup “Nut Flour” (page ##)
- 8 ounces sugar-free, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, humanely-raised pork rinds (such as 4505 Pork Rind Cracklins)
- 2 farm-fresh, pasture-raised eggs
PREPARATION
If using whole nuts, first put them in a food processor and pulse until ground into a coarse flour.
To the nut flour, add pork rinds and pulse until combined.
Add two eggs and pulse again to mix.
Roll dough between two sheets of parchment paper. (It should not stick too much but if it is too wet, add a touch more nut flour or pork rinds. If it is too dry, add a teaspoon of filtered water until you can roll it.)
Take the top sheet of parchment off and flip the crust onto your beef stew, chicken pot pie filling, or shepherd’s pie.
Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes.
Alternatively, bake the crust alone on a baking sheet lined with unbleached parchment paper for 15 minutes until golden brown, and then use to top your recipe.

Noodle Zoodles
INGREDIENTS
- 6–8 tablespoons keto fat (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 2 cups spiralized veggies (such as zucchini, daikon radish, broccoli stem, cauliflower stem, kohlrabi, or celeriac)
- pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt, to taste
- ground black pepper, to taste
OPTIONAL
- fermented hot sauce, red chili flakes, or cayenne powder, to taste
- top with “Meatballs” (page ##)

Sauté spiralized veggies in a pan with keto fat.
Add salt and pepper (and optional spice, if using) to taste.
Delicious as is, or place zoodles directly into a prepared sauce and cook for a bit to develop. Top with meatballs, if desired.
NOTES & TIPS
- You can also use spaghetti squash instead of spiralized veggies, although the carbs will be higher.
- For easy mac-n-cheese: Stir in “Dairy-Free Cream” (page ##), “Nut Cheese” (page ##), , raw goat cheese, or Green Valley organic, lactose-free cream cheese to the zoodle mixture.
- Plain zoodles do not freeze well, but I have found if I mix them with a sauce first, they will reheat fine. (This makes a great grab-n-go meal when traveling!)

Egg-Free Dairy-Free Tortilla Chips
Make these chips from scratch or from cooked tortillas you already have on hand.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 batch “Egg-Free Dairy-Free Tortillas” (page ##), as raw dough or already cooked
- heat-stable keto fat (such as high oleic sunflower oil, avocado oil, or lard), for frying
PREPARATION
From scratch: On medium heat, warm a heavy-bottomed stockpot or cast iron skillet with ½-inch of keto fat. Prepare the batter from “Egg-Free Dairy-Free Tortillas” (page ##) and form tortillas as directed. Slice tortillas into quarters and carefully place them into the hot oil. Deep fry the chips for a few minutes on both sides, until golden.
From cooked tortillas: On medium heat, warm a heavy-bottomed stockpot or cast iron skillet with ½-inch of keto fat. Slice tortillas into quarters and carefully place them into the hot oil. Deep fry the chips for 1 minute on each side, until golden.
Enjoy immediately, or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
NOTES & TIPS
- Regarding psyllium husk powder (must be powder!):
- If you have a sensitivity, prepare one of my other tortilla recipes instead. See “Nut Flour Tortillas” (page ##), “Burrito Wrap” (page ##), “Taco Shells, Tortillas, or Tostadas” (page ##), or “Veggie Tortillas” ( page ##).
- The psyllium husk powder may cause your dough (raw or cooked) to take on a slightly purple color. Fear not–this is a natural reaction of the psyllium husk powder. (I just tell my friends and family that it is like “blue corn”.)

Keto Stuffing
Make the full stuffing recipe or use just the crisp croutons in your favorite stuffing recipe like normal breadcrumbs.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 baked batch of “Coconut Flour Sandwich Buns” (page ##) or “Nut Flour Sandwich Buns” (page ##)
- ½ cup turkey or chicken “Bone Broth” (page ##) or filtered water
- ½ cup keto fat (such as butter/ghee) (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 1 stick of celery, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
Optional
- fermented hot sauce, red chili flakes, or cayenne powder, to taste
- ½ pound ground sausage
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cut sandwich buns into bite-sized chunks and place in a single layer on a large-rimmed baking sheet. Bake these croutons for about 20 minutes, tossing them around halfway through. While the croutons are baking, you can prepare the rest of the stuffing.
If using sausage, brown the meat first by placing it in a large stockpot on medium heat and cooking until it has started to get crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. (Using a large stockpot will allow you to fit everything else in.)
Add bone broth and keto fat and bring to a simmer.
Next, add celery, onion, salt, and pepper (and any optional spicy ingredients). Remove from heat when the onions are translucent.
Once croutons are done baking, add them to the stockpot and stir until everything is coated.
Pour into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, or until stuffing is crunchy on top but still moist underneath. (Alternatively, you may refrigerate up to 5 five days until ready to heat and eat.)

Moroccan Veggies
Serve this as a main course, side dish, or poach two to four eggs in the sauté for a fun breakfast.
INGREDIENTS
- ¼ cup of keto fat (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 1 tablespoon paprika (regular or smoked)
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (or 1 tablespoon fresh grated turmeric)
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (or ¼ teaspoon of dried ginger powder)
- 2 cups cubed eggplant or zucchini, and/or 6 cups of leafy greens (see note)
- 2-4 farm-fresh, pasture-raised eggs (optional)
PREPARATION
Warm up keto fat in a frying pan on medium heat. Add paprika, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and ginger. Cook for one minute, or until fragrant.
Add veggies and sauté until very soft and saucy.
If desired, make 2 to 4 holes in the mixture and crack 1 egg into each. Cover and cook eggs for 3 to 5 minutes, or to your liking.
NOTES & TIPS
- Leafy greens (such as kale, spinach, chard, arugula, or mustard/radish/beet greens) are the lowest carb option. Zucchini will have more carbs, and eggplant will have the most.

Roasted Nuts
Whether you need a crunchy salad topper or breading for chicken or fish, roasting nuts in the oven is the best way to make the nuts evenly flavorful and toasty. Roasting nuts DRAMATICALLY improves their flavor and fills your kitchen with a nutty warm scent. I used to skip this step out of tiredness, but now I just make a large batch once a month, and store them in mason jars in the fridge or freezer. These nuts are my favorite alternative to croutons!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups pili nuts, raw macadamia nuts, raw pecans, or raw walnuts
- ⅛-¼ cup heat-stable, liquid keto fat (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt, to taste
PREPARATION
Method 1 – Oven Roasting:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Fill a large stainless-steel roasting pan or large frying pan with 2 cups of nuts in an even, SINGLE layer. Drizzle with keto fat and sprinkle with salt.
Bake until you can smell them toasting or they darken slightly (about 15-25 minutes). I stir them every 5 minutes and check for any signs of burning.
Method 2 – Stove Top:
Heat a thick bottomed large skillet/frying pan on medium heat.
Warm a thin layer of keto fat in the pan, then add nuts in an even, SINGLE layer and sprinkle with salt.
Cook nuts until you can smell them toasting or they darken slightly (about 10-12 minutes). I stir them every 3 minutes and check for any signs of burning.
NOTES & TIPS
- It is a fine line between roasted and burnt, so watch the nuts closely and do not multitask!
- Chopped/smaller nuts will cook faster!
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

Coleslaw or Taco Slaw
In my travels, real tacos and tostadas from Mexico are always served with a vinegar slaw. I was too lazy to make some. One day I was thinking of how to get my hubby to eat more veggies and just whipped some up – wow! We now serve it with almost all our meals – with frittata for lunch, on a salad, as a side, or on top of a protein. As Gordon Ramsay always says, you must have an acid to create a well-rounded eating experience. I always have a bowl in the fridge now, and when it gets low, I just add more ingredients to the leftovers as the vinegar preserves it seemingly forever.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 cups slivered cabbage or about ½ of a small head (see note)
- ½-1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cilantro, chopped
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 jalapeño seeded and minced, or fermented hot sauce, red chili flakes, or cayenne powder, to taste
OPTIONAL
- For a sweet version kids will love, add a ¼ cup of Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener.
- For a creamy version, reduce the vinegar to 2 tablespoons and add ½ cup of “Mayo” (page ##), sugar-free avocado oil mayonnaise (such as Primal Kitchen Mayo), or egg-free autoimmune mayonnaise (find recipes at FurtherFood.com).
PREPARATION
Combine the slivered cabbage and salt. (If you prefer it salty like me, use a full teaspoon.)
Add the apple cider vinegar, green onion, cilantro, pepper, and the optional sweetener and/or mayo, if using. Mix well to combine everything.
This slaw can be used immediately, but develops an even better flavor over time, especially overnight.
Store covered in the fridge and enjoy for up to 2 weeks or more.
NOTES & TIPS
- To sliver cabbage: Chop in half and remove the core. Then, chop each half into 4 pieces, creating 8 pieces in total. Using a mandolin, slice ⅛ of the cabbage head at a time into a large glass container. Alternatively, use a grater or slice thinly with a knife.
- I use a slotted spoon to serve this slaw, which allows most of the vinegar to run off.

Deviled Eggs
INGREDIENTS
- 6 farm-fresh, pasture-raised eggs
- filtered water, enough for boiling
- 2 tablespoons “Mayo” (page ##), sugar-free avocado oil mayonnaise (such as Primal Kitchen Mayo), egg-free autoimmune mayonnaise (find recipes at FurtherFood.com), or “Herb Puree and Chimichurri” (page ##)
- pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt, to taste
- ground black pepper, to taste
OPTIONAL
- chopped sugar-free pickles and/or diced celery, to taste
- puréed or thinly silvered leafy greens (such as chard, kale, spinach, arugula, mustard/radish greens, etc) or powdered greens (such as Dr. Cowan’s Garden Threefold Blend Savory Powder or PaleoValley Organic Supergreens Powder), to taste
- fermented hot sauce, chopped fermented jalapeño pickles, red chili flakes, or cayenne powder, to taste
- garnish with ground paprika (regular or smoked) and/or chopped fresh herbs (such as cilantro, tarragon, basil or parsley), to taste
PREPARATION
Fill a large pot with water and place eggs inside. Bring to a boil, then cover and turn off the burner (but do not remove your pot). Let sit for 15 minutes, then rinse the eggs under cold tap water to cool them down.
Slice the eggs in half lengthwise with a sharp serrated paring knife (because farm-fresh eggs are just too hard to peel whole). Place the yolks in a bowl and carefully scoop out the egg white halves and place on a plate.
Break up the yolks roughly with a fork. Add mayo or my Herb Puree and Chimichurri, salt, pepper, and any optional ingredients, if using. Mash everything together, then place a dollop of that egg salad into each egg white half. Dust with ground paprika, if desired.
Deviled eggs may be eaten immediately, though they are best chilled in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving. Keep refrigerated and enjoy within 5 days.

Soups & Salads
Bone Broth
INGREDIENTS
- 4 pounds of meaty bones (if you have high ferritin, use chicken, turkey, or fish bones)
- 3 stalks of celery (leaves are okay)
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 shallot, chopped
- 1 tablespoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- filtered water (about 10 cups)
OPTIONAL
- Asian: coconut aminos, ginger, green onions
- Mexican: cumin, oregano, hot pepper
- Italian: oregano, parsley, basil, thyme
- Indian: cumin, turmeric, coriander, hot pepper
PREPARATION
First, for the most flavor, roast the bones. Place them in a rimmed baking dish and bake at 450°F until bones have browned (about 1 to 1½ hours). To prevent any pan drippings from burning, add 1 to 2 cups of water towards the end.
Stovetop: Transfer the bones and any pan drippings to a large stock pot. Add the remaining ingredients, making sure everything is covered by a few inches of water. Bring to a boil for 10 to 15 minutes, then reduce the heat and simmer for 8 to 24 hours. Broth is done when dark brown and flavorful.
Slow cooker: Transfer the bones and any pan drippings to a slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients, making sure everything is covered by water. (Be mindful of the “max fill” line!) Set temperature to low and cook for 12 to 18 hours.
InstantPot (pressure cooking): Transfer the bones and any pan drippings to an InstantPot (such as the 6-Quart Instant Pot Duo). Add the remaining ingredients, making sure everything is covered by water. (Be mindful of the “max fill” line!) Lock on the lid and switch the steam release knob to “sealing”. Pressure cook on high for 120 minutes. (It may take some time for the InstantPot to come to full pressure before starting.) After cooking, let the pressure release naturally.
Strain broth and store in glass canning jars in the fridge for up to 5 days. If freezing for later, make sure to leave 2 inches of headspace!
NOTES & TIPS
- I usually use ¼ to ½ of the resulting broth immediately to make a soup. (Salvage the meat off the bones to add in, too!) Add lots of leafy veggies, zucchini or cabbage “noodles”, some cubed pumpkin or Hubbard squash, and/or any spices you like. To make it creamy, half with “Dairy-Free Cream” (page ##).
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

No-Chop Chili Soup
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound raw ground protein (such as chicken, turkey, pork, beef, bison, elk, lamb)
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper OR fermented hot sauce, red chili flakes, or cayenne powder, to taste
- 2 cups “Bone Broth” (page ##)
- 1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes or 1 cup chopped tomatoes or tomato sauce from a glass jar
- ½ cup “Salsa” (page ##)
OPTIONAL
- chopped jalapeño, to taste
- 1 cup “Herb Puree and Chimichurri” (page ##, ideally made with oregano, parsley or cilantro) to boost the phytonutrients
- 1 cup “Dairy-Free Cream” (page ##) or ½ cup “Dairy-Free Thick Cream” (page ##)
PREPARATION
In a large stockpot on medium-low heat, brown the ground protein with chili powder and garlic powder.
Add the bone broth, tomato sauce or chopped tomatoes, and salsa. If using chopped jalapeño and/or Herb Puree and Chimichurri, add them now as well.
Simmer for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
For a chili that mimics having cheese on top, very slowly pour in cream while continuously whisking until everything is well combined. (Pour too fast and you’ll scramble the eggs in the cream!)
Serve immediately. Store leftovers in the fridge and enjoy within 5 days, or freeze for later.

Slow Cook Texas Chili
Texas chili doesn’t have beans, so it is a great keto option. This recipe is pretty close to my husband’s family recipe.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 pounds ground beef (or 1 pound ground beef with 1 pound “Shredded Beef” (page ##))
- 1 shallot, ½ yellow onion, or 5 green onions, chopped
- 8 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 1 bay leaf (optional)
FOR SAUCE
- 8-12 dried red chilis (no seeds or stems)
- 2 quarts Bone Broth” (page ##)
- 1½ cups keto fat (such as olive oil) (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
PREPARATION
Option 1: First, you need to prepare the chili sauce. ‘Real deal’ Texas chili does not have tomatoes and involves boiling bone broth and soaking dried chilis in it overnight. (I use 8-12 big red New Mexican chilis, but you can experiment with any big, red, medium-heat dried chili you can find.) Once chilis are soft, blend them and the broth with keto fat in a blender or food processor. Strain sauce, if desired, and set aside.
In a big stock pot on medium heat, brown the ground beef with shallot/onion. When almost done, add garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and bay leaf (if using). Cook for 1 minute more or until the spices are fragrant. Add previously prepared chili sauce, and then cook on ultra-low heat, stirring often, for 6 to 8 hours. Remove bay leaf before serving.
Option 2: Add all ingredients directly to a stock pot and cook on ultra-low heat for 6 to 8 hours. Alternatively, put everything in a slow cooker or instant pot (such as the 6-Quart Instant Pot Duo) and slow cook for 6 to 8 hours. Remove bay leaf before serving.

- 1 cup “Dairy-Free Cream” (page ##) or ½ cup “Dairy-Free Thick Cream” to increase the fat content
- garnish with chopped fresh herbs (such as cilantro or parsley)
PREPARATION
In a large stockpot on medium-low heat, sauté the celery, onion, and diced hot pepper (if using) in keto fat for about 5 minutes, until soft and transparent . Then, if desired, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Add the bone broth, shredded protein, cabbage noodles, and Herb Puree and Chimichurri (if using), then simmer until the cabbage wilts.
If you need to increase the fat content or would like a creamy soup, very slowly pour in Dairy-Free Cream (regular or thick) while continuously whisking until everything is well combined. (Pour too fast and you’ll scramble the eggs in the cream!)
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh herbs, if desired. Store leftovers in the fridge and enjoy within 5 days, or freeze for later.
NOTES & TIPS
- To sliver cabbage: Chop in half and remove the core. Then, chop each half into 4 pieces, creating 8 pieces in total. Using a mandolin, slice ⅛ of the cabbage head at a time into a large glass container. Alternatively, use a grater or slice thinly with a knife.

In a large stockpot on medium heat, combine the bone broth, coconut aminos, green onion, garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, and if using, fermented hot sauce, red chili flakes, or cayenne powder.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and stir in the leafy greens and cooked protein. Simmer until fragrant (about 5 minutes).
With the soup still simmering, continuously whisk in the cream, then the well-beaten eggs. Remove from heat and serve immediately with garnishes, if desired.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Cauliflower Soup
INGREDIENTS
- 3 cups roughly chopped cauliflower (about ½ head)
- 6 green onions or 1 small onion, chopped
- ½ cup keto fat such as butter, ghee, avocado oil, macadamia nut oil (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##) with 3½ cups “Bone Broth” (page ##) OR 4 cups “Bone Broth” (page ##) (see note)
- 1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper OR fermented hot sauce, red chili flakes, or cayenne powder, to taste
OPTIONAL
- substitute 3 cups of the bone broth with 3 cups of “Dairy-Free Cream” (page ##)
- add 1 cup “Herb Puree and Chimichurri” (page ##, ideally made with oregano, parsley or cilantro) to boost the phytonutrients
- garnish with a cooked protein, such as crumbled bacon or ground/shredded chicken, turkey, pork, beef, bison, elk, or lamb
PREPARATION
Stovetop method: Add cauliflower, onion, bone broth, salt, and pepper to a stainless-steel stockpot. Simmer on low heat for 1 hour, then carefully transfer the hot soup to a blender. (See note!) Purée until smooth.
Slow-cooker method: Add cauliflower, onion, bone broth, salt, and pepper to a ceramic or stainless-steel slow cooker. Cook for 3 hours on medium, then carefully transfer the hot soup to a blender. (See note!) Purée until smooth.
If you need to increase the fat content or would like a creamy soup, turn the blender on low and very slowly pour in Dairy-Free Cream through the hole in the lid until everything is well combined. (Pour too fast and you’ll scramble the eggs in the cream!)
Serve immediately, garnished with cooked protein, if desired. Store leftovers in the fridge and enjoy within 5 days, or freeze for later.
NOTES & TIPS
- For the bone broth, I prefer using one made from chicken. Make your own bone broth using my recipe on page ## or refer to the bone broth instructions on “Stovetop Whole Chicken or Turkey” (page ##).
- You must leave the hole in the lid “open” while blending hot food. If you do not, the pressure can build, forcing the lid and hot contents to explode from the blender. Use something protective but breathable, such as a thick kitchen towel, to cover the hole and only remove it to slowly pour in the cream (if using).
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

Warm Greens Salad
Cooked greens are easier on our digestion. I invented this for just that reason, because I missed salads when I started eating to conquer cancer.
INGREDIENTS
- 4-8 raw bacon slices, chopped
- ¼ cup keto fat (for frying) (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free mustard
- 2 tablespoons low-sugar vinegar (such as apple cider vinegar)
- 4 cups mixed leafy greens (such as kale, spinach, chard, arugula, and mustard/radish/beet greens)
OPTIONAL
- Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener, to taste
- ground black pepper, fermented hot sauce, red chili flakes, or cayenne powder, to taste
- top salad with “Nut Cheese” (page ##), Green Valley organic, lactose-free cream cheese, Miyoko’s Cashew Milk Mozzarella, Forager Vegan and Dairy-Free Parmesan, or raw goat cheese
PREPARATION
Fry the chopped bacon in a large skillet or stockpot until crisp. While the bacon is cooking, chop and destem the mixed greens.
Once bacon is crispy, remove it from the fat and set aside. Bring the remaining fat to a simmer on low heat.
Whisk in mustard and vinegar (and the optional sweetener and/or pepper) to create a dressing. Add the greens to the warm dressing and quickly stir until they wilt. (The greens should be somewhere between raw and cooked.)
Top warm greens with chopped bacon (and optional cheese). Serve immediately.

Paleo NY Pizza Crust
About once a month, I splurge for this pizza. It is the most like a real pizza for me. Although the carbs are high, if I add my “Herb Puree and Chimichurri” (page ##) to the batter and then more as a topping, the added fat helps temper the carbs and my ketones stay above 3. (Test your own reaction to this with the Keto Mojo ketone tester 4 hours after eating!) For a lower carb option, see “Nut Flour Mini Pizza Crusts” (page ##).
INGREDIENTS
- 3 tablespoons yeast
- 1 cup warm filtered water
- 2 cups pili nuts or raw macadamia nuts
- 2 cups arrowroot or tapioca flour
- 4 teaspoons pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 2 farm-fresh, pasture-raised, large egg whites (about ¼ cup)
- ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
- ⅓ cup keto fat (such as olive oil) or ½ cup “Herb Puree and Chimichurri” (page ##), ideally made with fresh oregano
TOPPING OPTIONS
- protein(s) and veggies of your choice – see my “Yes Foods” on page ## (my favorite combination is “Herb Puree and Chimichurri”, ground beef, and fresh tomatoes with chopped fresh arugula on top after baking)
- cheese – “Nut Cheese” (page ##), Miyoko’s Cashew Milk Mozzarella, Forager Vegan and Dairy-Free Parmesan, Green Valley organic, lactose-free cream cheese, raw unpasteurized local goat cheese, or imported French parmesan (less toxins)
PREPARATION
If using a pizza stone, preheat the oven to 550°F and place your stone on the top rack. If using a baking sheet, you can heat the oven later.
In a pre-warmed, 4-cup glass measuring cup or bowl, combine the yeast and warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
While waiting for the yeast to bloom, prepare your pizza flour: Add 1 cup of nuts and 1 cup of arrowroot or tapioca flour to a blender or food processor. Pulverize, then transfer to a BIG bowl. Repeat with the remaining 1 cup of nuts and 1 cup of arrowroot or tapioca flour.
To the bloomed yeast, add salt, egg whites, apple cider vinegar, and keto fat or “Herb Puree and Chimichurri” and whisk to combine. Now, add this mixture to your big bowl of pizza flour and stir to combine. (It should look like a pancake batter.)
Cover the bowl with a big glass pot lid or a kitchen towel, and place in a warm place (around 110°F) to rise for 60 to 90 minutes. If you do not have a warm place, turn your oven to 170°F (or the lowest setting possible) and when it reaches temperature, turn the oven off, place the bowl inside, shut the door, and let it rise inside for 60 minutes. Alternatively, if you have a horizontal-flow dehydrator (such as the Excalibur 5-Tray Dehydrator), remove the trays and use this as your warm place. After an hour of rising the dough will still be very soupy, which is normal.
If using a baking sheet, now is the time to preheat the oven, with a rack in the middle position, to 550°F. If using a stone, switch the oven from 550°F to broil for a few minutes, to super heat your stone.
Line your baking sheet or a pizza peel (such as the Large Stainless-Steel Pizza Peel by DWTS) with unbleached parchment paper. (If you are using a stone but do not have a peel, flip a baking sheet upside down to use as a substitute peel.)
Pour the batter (½ of it for large pizza crusts or ⅓ of it for small crusts) onto the parchment paper and spread into a large rectangle about ¼-inch thick. Do not form the other pizza crusts at this time, as the parchment paper will get soggy (and if using a peel, that means you will not be able to slide it onto your pizza stone)!
Place your baking sheet on the middle rack in the oven. Or, if you are using a stone, switch the oven from broil back to 550°F, then slide the parchment paper with the pizza batter off the peel and onto your preheated pizza stone.
Bake the pizza crusts one at a time, about 10 minutes for large crusts and 8 minutes for small crusts, rotating them 180° halfway through the bake time. When done, the crust should be golden brown on top, and if you lift an edge it will be very firm, with no bend. If it does not do this, bake for another minute or two.
Repeat the process to bake your remaining crusts.
Add your pizza toppings of choice and broil on the top rack 2 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the toppings are cooked through.
NOTES & TIPS

Chicken Pizza Crust
INGREDIENTS
- 10 ounces cooked chicken or other dry protein, such as the meat from “Stovetop Whole Chicken or Turkey” (page ##) (see note)
- 1 large or 2 small farm-fresh, pasture-raised eggs
- 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder (see note)
- pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt, to taste
- ground black pepper, to taste
OPTIONAL
- add 1 clove garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- add 1 green onion or 1 teaspoon onion powder
- add 1 tablespoon fresh chopped herbs or 1 teaspoon dried (such as oregano, thyme, parsley, or basil)
TOPPING OPTIONS
- protein(s) and veggies of your choice – see my “Yes Foods” on page ##
- cheese – “Nut Cheese” (page ##), Forager Vegan and Dairy-Free Parmesan, Miyoko’s Cashew Milk Mozzarella, Miyoko’s Cashew Milk Cream Cheese, Green Valley organic, lactose-free cream cheese, raw unpasteurized local goat cheese, or imported French parmesan (less toxins)
- For a breakfast variation, see “Chicken Breakfast Pizza” (page ##).
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 500°F.
Add all ingredients to a food processor and pulse until well-combined.
Pour the “dough” onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat (such as Mrs. Anderson’s Big Baking Mat). Form an even circle, then bake for about 8-10 minutes.
Add your toppings of choice and bake again for a few minutes, to warm the toppings through.
NOTES & TIPS
- This recipe is a great way to use up leftover meat. If your meat is moist, chop or shred it up, put it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat (such as Mrs. Anderson’s Big Baking Mat), and place in the preheated oven (500°F) to dry out for a few minutes.
- Regarding psyllium husk powder (must be powder!):
- If you have a sensitivity, prepare one of my other pizza crusts instead. See “Pizza Crust” (page ##), “Paleo NY Pizza Crust” (page ##), or “Nut Flour Mini Pizza Crusts” (page ##).
- The psyllium husk powder may cause your dough (raw or cooked) to take on a slightly purple color. Fear not–this is a natural reaction of the psyllium husk powder. (I just tell my friends and family that it is like “blue corn”.)
- Psyllium husk powder is not digested well by the body, so the carbs might appear higher than they actually are. You should test your reaction to this recipe with the Keto Mojo ketone tester 4 hours after eating!

Nut Flour Mini Pizza Crusts
INGREDIENTS
- batter for “Nut Flour Sandwich Buns” (page ##), but decrease keto fat to 2 tablespoons
TOPPING OPTIONS
- protein(s) and veggies of your choice – see my “Yes Foods” on page ## (my favorite combination is “Herb Puree and Chimichurri” (page ##), ground beef, and fresh tomatoes with chopped fresh arugula on top after baking)
- cheese – “Nut Cheese” (page ##), Miyoko’s Cashew Milk Mozzarella, Forager Vegan and Dairy-Free Parmesan, Green Valley organic, lactose-free cream cheese, raw unpasteurized local goat cheese, or imported French parmesan (less toxins)
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Spread the batter into silicone bun molds (such as two of the 3-Cavity Disc Molds by Freshware).
Bake until very dark brown all over (about 30-40 minutes). The crust must be very crispy to hold up your toppings!
Add your pizza toppings of choice and broil on the top rack 2 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the toppings are cooked through.
NOTES & TIPS
- Deconstructed Option: While this is a dairy-free pizza, it can get a bit soggy, so often I make deconstructed pizza instead. I make “Nut Flour Crackers” (page ##) and then scoop up “Herb Puree and Chimichurri” (page ##) or pizza sauce and top with Green Valley organic, lactose-free cream cheese.

Lasagna Casserole
I missed lasagna for a very long time, until one night I invented this by mistake. It tastes almost like the real thing, and even my hubby agreed!
INGREDIENTS
- ¼ cup keto fat such as olive oil (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 1 pound ground protein of your choice (beef, turkey, chicken, pork, lamb, or wild game)
- 1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper (or fermented hot sauce, red chili flakes, or cayenne powder, to taste)
- 5 green onions (tops and bottoms), chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano or 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 fresh tomatoes, chopped and with juices or 2 cups (1 pint) sugar-free tomato sauce
- 1 medium cabbage, cored and slivered into ½-inch noodles OR 8 zucchini, made into wide noodles using a vegetable peeler OR ½ medium cabbage, cored and slivered into ½-inch noodles with 4 zucchini, made into wide noodles using a vegetable peeler (see note)
- ½ cup (4 ounces) Forager Vegan and Dairy-Free Parmesan or Miyoko’s Cashew Milk Mozzarella
OPTIONAL
- To boost your veggie intake, add 3 cups of leafy greens (such as chard, kale, lamb’s quarters, mustard greens, spinach, etc).
PREPARATION
In a large, heavy-bottomed stock pot on medium heat, warm the keto fat. Add protein, and season with salt and pepper.
When meat is almost cooked through, add the green onions, oregano and garlic. Cook until garlic is fragrant (about 1 minute).
Add tomato, cabbage/zucchini noodles, and optional leafy greens, if using. Let everything simmer to get acquainted.
Once noodles are soft, taste test and adjust spices as needed. Then, reduce heat to medium-low and top with cheese. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted (about 10 minutes). Enjoy!
NOTES & TIPS
- To sliver cabbage: Chop in half and remove the core. Then, chop each half into 4 pieces, creating 8 pieces in total. Using a mandolin, slice ⅛ of the cabbage head at a time into a large glass container. Alternatively, use a grater or slice thinly with a knife.

Chicken Piccata
INGREDIENTS
Chicken:
- ½ cup “Nut Flour” (page ##) or sugar-free, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, humanely-raised pork rind crumbles (such as 4505 Pork Rind Crumbles or pulverized 4505 Pork Rind Cracklins)
- ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper (or hot pepper flakes)
- 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thin (see note) (about 4 or 5 breasts)
- 2 tablespoons heat-stable keto fat such as butter or ghee, divided (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 2 tablespoons Mediterranean-flavored keto fat such as olive oil, divided (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon heat-stable keto fat such as butter or ghee (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 1 small shallot, diced or 3 green onions, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup white wine (Dry Farm Wines) or “Bone Broth” (page ##)
- ¼ cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- ¼ cup capers, drained
- fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
PREPARATION
Chicken:
Mix nut flour or pork rinds with salt and pepper on a plate. Dredge chicken in the mixture and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the fat is hot, add half of the chicken.
Cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 2 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. Remove to a clean plate. Repeat the process with the second half of the butter, olive oil, and chicken.
Sauce:
Once chicken is removed, reduce the heat to medium and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add shallot and garlic, and cook until softened (about 2 minutes).
Slowly pour in wine or bone broth, then increase the heat to a boil. Reduce by half, scraping up any browned bits. Once reduced, add the lemon juice and capers and stir.
Place the chicken and any juices back into the pan to warm through.
Serve the chicken topped with spoonfuls of the piccata sauce and garnished with fresh parsley, if desired.
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and used within 3 to 4 days.
NOTES & TIPS
- For even lower carbs, use pork rinds (not nut flour) and chopped green onions (not shallot).
- Chicken can be pound thin using a meat tenderizer or the back of a small pan.
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

Stovetop Whole Chicken or Turkey
INGREDIENTS
- 1 whole chicken (about 6 pounds) OR 2 bone-in turkey breasts or 3 bone-in turkey thighs
- 3 teaspoons pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 1½ teaspoons ground black pepper
- 6 green onions or 1 small onion, peeled and sliced in half
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 4 ribs celery (leaves okay too), sliced in half
- 1 handful chopped fresh herbs (such as sage, thyme, parsley, and/or rosemary)
- filtered water, for boiling
PREPARATION
Dust the chicken or turkey with salt, and pepper. Place it in a large stainless-steel stockpot, then add the onion, garlic, celery, and fresh herbs. Cover the meat and veggies with water until everything is submerged and there is at least 1 inch of water above the ingredients.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 1½ hours, or until the meat’s internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the meat to a bowl to cool and strain the veggies from the broth. (The broth can be stored in a glass canning jar in the fridge for up to 5 days, or frozen for later.)
Once meat is cool enough to handle, use your hands to shred the meat from the bones. Discard the bones (or reserve for bone broth–see below).
Shredded meat is ready to use immediately, or can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
For a quick and easy soup: Prepare the recipe as directed, but reserve the strained veggies and roughly chop them. Then, return the broth, chopped veggies, and shredded meat (no bones) to the stockpot. Bring the soup to a simmer to warm everything through again, and serve. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for later.
For bone broth: Prepare the recipe as directed, but when removing the chicken or turkey, leave the veggies and broth on simmer. Once meat is cool enough to handle, use your hands to shred the meat from the bones, and store for later. Return the bones to the veggies and broth and simmer for 6 more hours. Strain your bone broth, then store in a glass canning jar in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for later.
For a more nutrient-dense soup: Follow the bone broth preparation above, but reserve the strained bones and veggies. Pick out the veggies from the bones and roughly chop. Discard the bones. Then, return the strained broth, chopped veggies and shredded meat to the stockpot. Bring the soup to a simmer to warm everything through again, and serve. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for later.

Pulled Pork
Follow the recipe for “Brisket” (page ##) but use pork shoulder instead. (I often do two shoulders and freeze the unused portion for a future meal.) When pork is done cooking, remove it from the broth and place in a big bowl. Use two forks to pull the meat apart into strips. Reduce leftover broth until thick and then return the shredded meat to this broth. Salt to taste and add fermented hot sauce or red chili flakes, if desired.

Keto Dairy-Free Grilled Cheese
My DNA does not process the saturated fat and lactose in most all dairy. Grilled cheese is a comfort food from my childhood that I missed terribly. Dairy-free cheese does not melt or have much flavor, so I had to make alterations to this old time favorite.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 tablespoon keto fat such as ghee or olive oil (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 2 6-inch buns from “Coconut Flour Sandwich Buns” (page ##) or “Nut Flour Sandwich Buns” (page ##) OR 2 slices of “Ultra Low-Carb Loaf Bread” (page ##), “French Toast Loaf Bread” (page ##), or Julian Bakery Paleo Thin Coconut Bread (see note)
- ½ cup (4 ounces) Green Valley organic, lactose-free cream cheese, Miyoko’s Cashew Milk Mozzarella, Forager Vegan and Dairy-Free Parmesan, or a mix
- pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt, to taste
- ground black pepper, to taste
OPTIONAL
- fermented hot sauce, red chili flakes, or cayenne powder, to taste
- “Herb Puree and Chimichurri” (page ##), to taste
PREPARATION
Heat up a thick-bottomed cast iron skillet or stainless-steel frying pan. Add the keto fat and add a good dash of salt.
Place two buns or slices of bread into the fat and rub them around. Toast for 5-10 minutes on one side and then flip over.
Top both pieces with cheese(s), and season with salt and pepper. Continue to toast open like this for 5 to 10 more minutes.
Then, broil in the oven on high for 3 minutes or until the cheese bubbles. (Most dairy-free cheese does not melt well, so this helps.)
If desired, spread one side with my “Herb Puree and Chimichurri” or sprinkle with pepper, hot sauce, chili flakes, or cayenne powder. Then press the two pieces together to make your grilled cheese. Cut in half and enjoy!
NOTES & TIPS
- Using the Julian Bakery Paleo Thin Coconut Bread will result in higher carbs. Other varieties from Julian Bakery are not organic! Also, do not purchase the bread from Amazon because sometimes it arrives moldy. Order directly from JulianBakery.com or check your local quality grocery store in the refrigerated/frozen section.

Summer Latkes
INGREDIENTS
- 1 large zucchini or yellow squash, grated or spiralized (about 1-1½ cups)
- 3 farm-fresh, pasture-raised eggs
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese such as Forager Vegan and Dairy-Free Parmesan (optional)
- pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt, to taste
- ground black pepper, fermented hot sauce, red chili flakes, or cayenne powder, to taste
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 1 shallot, chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour or 1 teaspoon psyllium husk powder (see note)
- ½ cup heat-stable keto fat such as lard, beef tallow, coconut oil, ghee, butter, or sunflower oil (for frying) (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
PREPARATION
Warm keto fat in a frying pan over medium-low heat.
Add the remaining ingredients to a medium bowl and combine well.
Use tongs to place ⅓ cup of the mixture into the pan. Fry for 3 minutes or until crispy on one side, then flip and repeat on the second side.
NOTES & TIPS
- Regarding psyllium husk powder (must be powder!):
- If you have a sensitivity, prepare this recipe using the coconut flour.
- The psyllium husk powder may cause your dough (raw or cooked) to take on a slightly purple color. Fear not–this is a natural reaction of the psyllium husk powder. (I just tell my friends and family that it is like “blue corn”.)
- Psyllium husk powder is not digested well by the body, so the carbs might appear higher than they actually are. You should test your reaction to this recipe with the Keto Mojo ketone tester 4 hours after eating!
- Serve with a fried egg for the best breakfast ever!
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

Life by Chocolate Brownies
I make big batches and freeze these for traveling, or for those emotional ‘craving’ days. For a cookie variation, see “Life by Chocolate Cookies” (page ##).
INGREDIENTS
- 5 ounces (about ½ cup) 100% dark chocolate chips, wafers, or chopped (such as SantaBarbaraChocolate.com or from the baking section of your local quality grocery store)
- 1 cup heat-stable keto fat (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- ½–1 cup Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener, to taste
- ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 4 farm-fresh, pasture-raised eggs OR 6 egg yolks (see note)
- ½ cup filtered water
OPTIONAL
- 1 teaspoon sugar-free vanilla extract (or the seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean)
- top with 100% dark chocolate chips, coconut flakes, and/or chopped nuts (such as pili nuts, raw macadamia nuts, or raw pecans)
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Melt together the chocolate and keto fat in a double boiler (or in a metal bowl over a pot of water) on low heat.
In a food processor, combine the sweetener, salt, eggs/egg yolks, water, and vanilla (if using).
While the food processor is running, SLOWLY drizzle in the melted chocolate and fat mixture through the hole in the top. (This keeps the eggs from cooking. Pour too fast and you get scrambled eggs!) The mixture should get quite thick.
Pour batter into an 8 x 8-inch glass baking dish lined with unbleached parchment paper, a muffin pan with unbleached paper liners, a silicone muffin mold (such as the Medium 12-cup Mold by Freshware), or into small (4-ounce) canning jars or ramekins.
Sprinkle with optional toppings, if desired, then bake.
8 x 8-inch: 30 minutes (center should still jiggle a bit)
Muffin pan or small jars/ramekins: 8 minutes for fudgy brownies, or 12-15 minutes for cake-like brownies
Cool completely before serving.

Dairy-Free Barely Chocolate Fat Bomb Brownies
This is a great recipe for people who cannot process saturated fat very well and is lower in carbs than my “Life by Chocolate Brownies” (page ##).
INGREDIENTS
- 2 ounces 100% dark chocolate, chopped or chips (SantaBarbaraChocolate.com or from the baking section of your local quality grocery store)
- 1 cup heat-stable keto fat such as high oleic sunflower oil, avocado oil, algae oil, or butter/ghee (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 6 farm-fresh, pasture-raised egg yolks (see note)
- ¼ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar-free vanilla extract or the seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean
- ¼ cup Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Melt together dark chocolate and keto fat in a double boiler (or in a metal bowl over a pot of water) on low heat.
In a food processor, combine the egg yolks, salt, vanilla, and sweetener.
While the food processor is still running, VERY SLOWLY drizzle in the melted dark chocolate and fat mixture through the small hole on top. (The mixture should get quite thick.)
Pour batter into an 8 x 8-inch square glass baking dish, a muffin pan with unbleached paper liners or a silicone muffin mold (such as the Medium 12-cup Mold by Freshware), or into small (4-ounce) canning jars or ramekins.
8 x 8-inch: 30 minutes (center should still jiggle a bit)
Muffin pan or small jars: 8 minutes for fudgy brownies, or 12-15 minutes for cake-like brownies
Screw tops on the canning jars or stack the muffin cups in a large canning jar with a lid for an easy, on-the-go snack. Store in the fridge and enjoy within 5 days, or freeze for later.
NOTES & TIPS
- Reserve the egg whites from this recipe and use for “Nut Flour Sandwich Buns” (page ##), Meringue Cookies, or Meringue Pie Crust.
- These brownies taste best after they have been chilled in the fridge.
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

Easy Vanilla Pudding
INGREDIENTS
- 3 tablespoons “Coconut Manna Cream” (page ##) or 1 cup “Dairy-Free Cream” (page ##)
- 1 cup filtered water
- 1 tablespoon gelatin powder (from Vital Proteins or GrasslandBeef.com)
- ½ teaspoon sugar-free vanilla extract (or the seeds scraped from ½ vanilla bean)
- ¼ cup Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener
PREPARATION
Blender method: Mix together the cream and water in a blender on high, until the sides of the blender are warm. Sprinkle gelatin powder over the mixture and blend again to combine. Let everything rest for 5 minutes so the gelatin can dissolve. Add the vanilla and sweetener, and blend one more time. Divide pudding into 4 small (4-ounce) canning jars or ramekins with about ¼ cup each, or 2 larger (8-ounce) canning jars or ramekins with about ½ cup each. Refrigerate for at least 1 to 4 hours, or overnight, to set/thicken. Store in the fridge and enjoy within 5 days.
Stovetop method: In a saucepan on medium-low heat, mix together the cream and water, whisking frequently until warmed. (Do not boil!) Then, remove from heat. Sprinkle gelatin powder over the mixture and whisk until combined. Let everything rest for 5 minutes so the gelatin can dissolve. Add the vanilla and sweetener, and whisk again to combine. Divide pudding into 4 small canning jars or ramekins (with about ¼ cup each), or 2 larger canning jars or ramekins (with about ½ cup each). Refrigerate for at least 1 to 4 hours, or overnight, to set/thicken. Store in the fridge and enjoy within 5 days.

Low-Carb Apple Pie
First, prepare a pie crust (such as “Graham Cracker Pie Crust” on page ## or “Ultra Low-Carb Graham Cracker Pie Crust” on page ##), and set aside to cool. Meanwhile, prepare “Apple Crisp or Crumble” (page ##), but omit any topping and just pour the “apples” directly into your prepared crust. Bake at 350°F until the filling and crust are golden and warmed through (about 30 minutes). Serve immediately, then store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
NOTES & TIPS
- This pie is great by itself, but really shines when topped with “Caramel Sauce” (page ##) and “Dairy-Free Thick Cream” (page ##) or one of my ice creams, such as “Dairy-Free Ice Cream or Popsicles” (page ##), “Autoimmune Keto Ice Cream or Popsicles” (page ##), or “Easy Dairy Ice Cream or Popsicles” (page ##).

Apple Crisp or Crumble
BASE INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups thinly sliced zucchini with the moisture pressed out (about 4-10 zucchini)
- ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, lime/lemon juice, or the zest of 1 lime/lemon (see note)
- 1 batch “Caramel Sauce” (page ##) or ½ cup Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon psyllium husk powder (see note) or konjac powder (optional, for thickening)
TOPPING OPTIONS
Crumble: Mix together and place on top of your zucchini “apples”, then bake.
- ½ cup sugar-free, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, humanely-raised pork rind crumbles (such as 4505 Pork Rind Crumbles or pulverized 4505 Pork Rind Cracklins)
- ¼ cup melted keto fat such as butter, ghee, or coconut oil (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- ¼ cup Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt (omit if nuts, butter, or pork rinds are salted)
Granola: Top zucchini “apples” with uncooked “Low Carb Granola” (page ##) and then bake. Alternatively, bake zucchini “apples” until golden, then top with already-baked granola before serving.
- ½ cup “Low Carb Granola” (page ##), or to taste (but watch the carbs!)
Nutty: Mix together and place on top of your zucchini “apples”, then bake.
- ½ cup chopped raw nuts (pili nuts, raw macadamia nuts, or raw pecans)
- 4 tablespoons Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener
- ¼ cup melted keto fat such as butter, ghee, coconut oil, mild olive oil, or high oleic sunflower oil (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 1 farm-fresh, pasture-raised egg, beaten
PREPARATION
First, prepare the zucchini.
Method one: Peel the zucchini with a regular vegetable peeler and discard or compost the peels. Continue using the vegetable peeler to create wide ribbons. If the seedy pulp at the core of the zucchini is mushy, discard or compost that part, and continue peeling. Place the ribbons into a large stainless-steel colander that fits nicely over a stockpot, with at least 1 inch of air space below the colander.
Method two: Chop off one end of the zucchini, stand it upright with the cut end down. Use a sharp knife to slice the peel off of the zucchini, and discard or compost the peels. Slice the peeled zucchini in half lengthwise, then use a spoon or melon baller to remove the seeds/pulp. Slice into ¼-inch slivers, which should look similar to apple slices. Place them into a large stainless-steel colander that fits nicely over a stockpot, with at least 1 inch of air space below the colander.
With the zucchini in the colander (peeled into ribbons or cut into slices), sprinkle with salt, toss with your hands, and let sit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. (You may also do this the evening before and let it sit in the fridge overnight.)
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, combine the caramel, cinnamon, nutmeg, and apple cider vinegar/lime or lemon juice/lime or lemon zest and set aside. Prepare the topping of your choice: Crumble, Granola, or Nutty.
After topping is prepared, rinse the zucchini under cold water to get the salt out. Then, using your hands, press down on the colander or squeeze the zucchini to remove as much moisture as possible. (The resulting zucchini should amount to 2 cups. If not, prepare more as needed before continuing.) Once fully drained, add the zucchini to the caramel mixture. If there is any liquid in the bowl after mixing everything together, add one of the optional thickeners.
Spoon the filling into an 8 x 8-inch square or 9-inch round glass baking dish. For a grab and go variation, spoon into 8 small (4-ounce) glass canning jars. Add the topping of your choice and bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. (If using already-baked granola for your topping, bake the filling by itself until golden brown, then top with baked granola.)
Serve immediately, then keep refrigerated for up to 5 days or freeze.
NOTES & TIPS
- The skins and seeds of zucchini contain a lot of lectins which are often not digested well by the human body, but my chickens and compost pile love them!
- Scrub the citrus vigorously before zesting as even organic has a toxic coating.
- Regarding psyllium husk powder (must be powder!):
- If you have a sensitivity, do not use psyllium husk powder.
- The psyllium husk powder may cause your dish (raw or cooked) to take on a slightly purple color. Fear not–this is a natural reaction of the psyllium husk powder.
- Psyllium husk powder is not digested well by the body, so the carbs might appear higher than they actually are. You should test your reaction to this recipe with the Keto Mojo ketone tester 4 hours after eating!
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

Crème Brûlée
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener
- 6 farm-fresh, pasture-raised egg yolks at room temperature (see note)
- ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar-free vanilla extract (or the seeds scraped from 2 vanilla beans)
- 2 cups neutral-flavored, melted or liquid keto fat such as butter, algae oil, or high oleic sunflower oil (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
OPTIONAL
- add zest and juice from 1 lemon or lime (omit juice if on a very low-carb diet)
- add 1 handful (1-2 sprigs) fresh mint or basil leaves, for added nutrients
- add food-grade essential oils, flavored oils, flavored concentrates, or sugar-free, alcohol-free extracts to taste such as strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, orange, cherry, mango, or lavender (see my list “Where to Buy Keto Ingredients” on page ##)
- substitute half of the sweetener with low-glycemic maple syrup (such as Lakanto Maple Syrup)
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 325°F.
In a food processor, blend together the sweetener, egg yolks, salt, vanilla, and any optional flavorings. (If your eggs are not at room temperature, blend the mixture for a few minutes until it warms up a bit. This will help your crème brûlée thicken.)
With the food processor running, VERY SLOWLY pour in the keto fat through the hole on the top. (The slower the better!)
Pour mixture into an 8 x 8-inch or 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish, or into 6 small (4-ounce) canning jars or ramekins. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8 x 8-inch: 30 minutes
9 x 13-inch: 20 minutes
small jars or ramekins: 10 minutes
Let cool on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Store in the fridge and enjoy within 5 days.
NOTES & TIPS
- Reserve the egg whites from this recipe and use for “Nut Flour Sandwich Buns” (page ##), Meringue Cookies, or Meringue Pie Crust.
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

- ½ cup Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener
- ½ cup heat-stable keto fat (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)

Refrigerate or freeze to solidify.
Quick and easy version: Combine sweetener, keto fat, and nut butter. Then, dip dark chocolate or cacao butter pieces into the mixture.

Fruit Fat Bombs
INGREDIENTS
- 2 ounces cacao butter chips, chunks, or wafers (see note)
- 1 cup heat-stable keto fat such as high oleic sunflower oil, avocado oil, algae oil, or butter/ghee (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 6 farm-fresh, pasture-raised egg yolks (see note)
- ¼ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar-free vanilla extract or the seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean
- ¼ cup Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener
- food-grade essential oils, flavored oils, flavored concentrates, or sugar-free, alcohol-free extracts to taste, such as coconut, lemon, lime, passion fruit, banana, peach, cherry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, orange with vanilla, apple with cinnamon, and strawberry with mint (see my list “Where to Buy Keto Ingredients” on page ##)
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Melt together cacao butter and keto fat in a double boiler (or in a metal bowl over a pot of water) on low heat.
In a food processor, combine the egg yolks, salt, vanilla, sweetener, and fruit flavoring.
While the food processor is still running, VERY SLOWLY drizzle in the melted cacao butter and fat mixture through the small hole on top. (The mixture should get quite thick.)
Spoon the batter into small (4-ounce) canning jars, a muffin pan with unbleached paper liners, or a silicone muffin mold (such as the Medium 12-cup Mold by Freshware). Bake for 7 minutes if you like them gooey, or 10 minutes for a cookie-like texture.
Top the canning jars with lids for traveling or stack the muffin cups in a large canning jar with a lid in the fridge for on-the-go snacks. These also freeze well.
NOTES & TIPS
- Cacao (or cocoa) butter is raw white chocolate without sweeteners. Make sure that what you are using does not have any added sweeteners! Check SantaBarbaraChocolate.com or the bulk section of your local quality grocery store.

PREPARATION
Add the cheese, sweetener, keto fat, salt, and vanilla (if using) to a food processor and purée until smooth.
Add chocolate, if using, and pulse quickly to combine.
Transfer to small (4-ounce) glass canning jars and freeze to achieve an ice cream-like texture–maybe even better than ice cream.

Dairy-Free Ice Cream or Popsicles
This is one of the best keto treats you will ever have. My nieces and nephews think it is the best ice cream EVER–keto or no keto.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup liquid neutral-flavored keto fat (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 6 farm-fresh, pasture-raised egg yolks*
- pinch of pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 1 cup filtered water
- ¼ cup Sukrin Bake, Sukrin Gold, or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener (see note)
- 1 teaspoon organic, sugar-free vanilla extract (or the seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean)
FLAVOR OPTIONS
- Chocolate: ¼ cup raw cacao powder
- Chocolate chip: ½ cup chopped 100% dark chocolate or 100% dark chocolate chips (SantaBarbaraChocolate.com or from the baking section of your local quality grocery store)
- White chocolate chip: ½ cup chopped cacao butter or cacao butter chips (see note)
- Coffee: omit vanilla and substitute water with strongly-brewed, cold coffee (If your coffee is hot, blend all the other ingredients together first and then, while food processor is running, drizzle in the hot coffee.)
- Tea: substitute water with strongly-brewed, cold green/black/white/herbal tea such as my “Chai” on page ## (If your tea is hot, blend all the other ingredients first and then, while food processor is running, drizzle in the hot tea.)
- Fresh herbs with food-grade essential oils, flavored oils, flavored concentrates, or sugar-free, alcohol-free extracts, to taste (see my list “Where to Buy Keto Ingredients” on page ##) such as thyme with lemon, basil with raspberry, mint with chocolate, and vanilla with orange
PREPARATION
Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Ice cream maker: Pour the mixture into a stainless-steel ice cream maker (such as Whyter ICM-201SB Upright Automatic 2-Quart Ice Cream Maker), and process until set.
Freezer ice cream: Pour into a large glass or stainless-steel storage container with a lid and place in a very cold freezer. Stir occasionally and continue freezing until it reaches the consistency of soft serve (at least 4 hours).
Popsicles: Pour into a silicone popsicle mold (such as the 10-compartment Popsicle Molds by Miaowoof) or stainless-steel ice cube trays. Freeze until solid.
NOTES & TIPS
- * If you don’t have access to good pastured farm-raised eggs use the recipe “Pasteurized Eggs” on page ## to pasteurize raw eggs from the store.
- Sukrin Bake is the best choice for making ice cream because it is an allulose sweetener. It does not freeze rock-solid like Sukrin Gold and other erythritol sweeteners do. If you use a different sweetener, you will need to soften your ice cream in the fridge for 1 hour before serving.
- Cacao (or cocoa) butter is raw white chocolate without sweeteners. Make sure that what you are using does not have any added sweeteners! Check SantaBarbaraChocolate.com or the bulk section of your local quality grocery store.
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

Autoimmune Keto Ice Cream or Popsicles
INGREDIENTS
- 2 small ripe avocados, with skins and pits removed
- 1 cup (8 ounces) of “Homemade Coconut Milk” (page ##) or coconut milk in a glass bottle without preservatives/additives (see note)
- pinch of pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- ¼-½ cup Sukrin Bake, Sukrin Gold, or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener, to taste (see note)
- zest of 1 lemon (see note)
- ¼ cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
- ¼ cup loosely packed mint leaves
PREPARATION
Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Ice cream maker: Pour the mixture into a stainless-steel ice cream maker (such as Whyter ICM-201SB Upright Automatic 2-Quart Ice Cream Maker), and process until set.
Freezer ice cream: Pour into a large glass or stainless-steel storage container with a lid and place in a very cold freezer. Stir occasionally and continue freezing until it reaches the consistency of soft serve (at least 4 hours).
Popsicles: Pour into a silicone popsicle mold (such as the 10-compartment Popsicle Molds by Miaowoof) or stainless-steel ice cube trays. Freeze until solid.
NOTES & TIPS
- Making coconut milk yourself is much cheaper, more delicious, and takes less time than finding it in a non-toxic container online or in a store, which is next to impossible. (See page ## for my recipe.)
- Sukrin Bake is the best choice for making ice cream because it is an allulose sweetener. It does not freeze rock-solid like Sukrin Gold and other erythritol sweeteners do. If you use a different sweetener, you will need to soften your ice cream in the fridge for 1 hour before serving.
- Scrub the citrus vigorously before zesting as even organic has a toxic coating.
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

Ultra Low-Carb Graham Cracker Pie Crust
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups sugar-free, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, humanely-raised pork rind crumbles (such as 4505 Pork Rind Crumbles or pulverized 4505 Pork Rind Cracklins)
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- ½ cup Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener
- ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt (omit if using salted butter or salted pork rind crumbles)
- 1 farm-fresh, pasture-raised egg
- 2 tablespoons keto fat, melted if solid, such as coconut oil, butter, or ghee (see “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ##)
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free vanilla extract or the seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 325°F.
In a large bowl or food processor, mix together the pork rind crumbles, cinnamon, sweetener, and salt. Add the egg, keto fat, and vanilla, and stir or process until well combined.
Spoon into a 9-inch round pie plate. Use your hands to flatten the bottom and shape up the sides, creating a rim about ¼-inch thick all around. (Alternatively, press an 8-inch pie plate on top or use the bottom of a small saucepan to smooth it out evenly.)
Lightly pierce the bottom of the crust about 10 times with the tines of a fork. (This will allow air to escape, so it does not puff up during baking.)
Parbake for 15 minutes. Then, add the filling of your choice and bake as the filling recipe directs.
NOTES & TIPS
- I love using this crust with my “Low-Carb Apple Pie” (page ##), “Pecan Pie” (page ##), “Key Lime Custard” (page ##), and “Dairy-Free Citrus or Fruit Curd” (page ##).

Drinks
Dairy-Free Cream
I live for this mixture–I use it daily for my coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or as a protein smoothie base. But wait, it does much more! Use in any recipe that calls for heavy cream, milk, or coconut milk. Avoid canned coconut milk, as cans contain BPA or its replacement BPS (both mimic estrogen that can stimulate cancer cells).
INGREDIENTS
- 2 farm-fresh, pasture-raised egg yolks* (ideally at room temperature)
- ¼- ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- 1¼ cup lukewarm filtered water, with 1 cup reserved
- 1 cup neutral keto liquid fat such as high oleic sunflower oil (The following brands make it the thickest–Napa Valley Naturals, Spectrum, Ellyndale. See “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ## and “Where to Buy Keto Ingredients” on page ##.)
OPTIONAL
- 1 teaspoon sugar-free vanilla extract (or the seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean)
- fruit-flavored food-grade essential oils, flavored oils, flavored concentrates, or sugar-free, alcohol-free extracts, to taste (see my list “Where to Buy Keto Ingredients” on page ##)
- Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener, to taste
PREPARATION
Add the egg yolks, salt, and ¼ cup of water to a food processor and blend for several minutes until completely foamy and warm.
With the food processor running on low speed, SLOWLY drizzle the liquid keto fat into the hole on top of the lid. The mixture should get noticeably thicker and lighter in color.
Now, with the food processor still running on low speed, VERY SLOWLY add the water through the hole on top of the lid until the mixture looks like heavy cream (about 1 cup of water). It will get thicker in the refrigerator.
If your “cream” does not thicken, do not throw it away! Start another batch, with just one egg yolk and two tablespoons of water, and blend until foamy. While the food processor is running, drizzle your first thin batch into the new egg/water mixture to emulsify/thicken. Alternately, to thicken or emulsify the mixture, heat the mixture in a saucepan on medium heat until thickened or 160F, whisking frequently. This heating method is also ideal if you are unsure of the safety of your eggs.
Enjoy as is, or mix in any optional sweetness or flavorings.
Store in a glass canning jar, keep refrigerated, shake before using, and use within 5 days.
NOTES & TIPS
- * If you don’t have access to good pastured farm-raised eggs use the recipe “Pasteurized Eggs” on page 16 to pasteurize raw eggs from the store. Alternately, to thicken or emulsify the mixture, heat the mixture in a saucepan on medium heat until thickened or 160F, whisking frequently.
- You must follow this process closely in order for the ingredients to emulsify and become creamy! Adding the water as slowly as possible will reduce any potential separation. (If your cream separates after storing, simply shake or vigorously stir to reincorporate everything.)

Dairy-Free Thick Cream
INGREDIENTS
- 4 farm-fresh, pasture-raised egg yolks* (ideally at room temperature)
- ¼-½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
- ½ cup Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener
- ¼ cup warm filtered water
- 1 cup neutral keto liquid fat such as, high oleic sunflower oil (I find that the following brands make it the thickest–Napa Valley Naturals, Spectrum, Ellyndale. See “How to Use Keto Fats” on page ## and “Where to Buy Keto Ingredients” on page ##.)
OPTIONAL
- 1 teaspoon sugar-free vanilla extract (or the seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean)
- fruit-flavored food-grade essential oils, flavored oils, flavored concentrates, or sugar-free, alcohol-free extracts, to taste (see my list “Where to Buy Keto Ingredients” on page ##)
PREPARATION
Add the egg yolks, salt, sweetener, and water to a warmed food processor and blend for several minutes until completely foamy and warm.
With the food processor running on low speed, SLOWLY drizzle the liquid keto fat into the hole on top of the lid. The mixture should get really thick and will thicken even more in the refrigerator. If your “cream” does not thicken, do not throw it away! Start another batch, with just two egg yolks and two tablespoons of water, and blend until foamy. While the food processor is running, drizzle your first thin batch into the new egg/water mixture to emulsify/thicken. Alternately, to thicken or emulsify the mixture, heat the mixture in a saucepan on medium heat until thickened or 160F, whisking frequently. This heating method is also ideal if you are unsure of the safety of your eggs.

- You must follow this process closely in order for the ingredients to emulsify and become creamy! Adding the water as slowly as possible will reduce any potential separation. (If your cream separates after storing, simply shake or vigorously stir to reincorporate everything.)
- Makes excellent whipped cream for topping pancakes, waffles, cakes, etc.
- Can be used as a substitute for coconut cream/milk.
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

Homemade Coconut Milk
For those who cannot use eggs due to an autoimmune issue, the alternative called for is almost always coconut milk/cream. Store-bought is usually loaded with toxic additives, emulsifiers, and preservatives, and packaged in a container lined with carcinogenic plastic. Avoid that by making coconut milk at home. It takes less than ten minutes and tastes much better!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup of coconut flakes or chips, packed firmly
- 4 cups of just-boiled water
- pinch of pink Himalayan salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
PREPARATION
Add everything to a powerful high-speed blender (such as the Vitamix 5200 Blender). Lock down the lid, and leave hole uncapped, and cover with a thick kitchen towel to prevent splashing and burning.
Start blending on low and work up to the high setting. Blend for 3 to 5 minutes more, or until smooth.
Feel free to strain the coconut milk using cheesecloth over a colander or stock pot or a nut milk bag (such as the Organic Cotton Nut Milk Bag by Pardal). (I never bother to strain since the coconut pieces will just settle to the bottom.) Reserve any strained coconut mash for later use (see note).
Store milk in a 1-quart glass canning jar, keep refrigerated, and enjoy within 5 days. Alternatively, store in smaller, 8-ounce glass canning jars and freeze. Make sure to leave a ½-inch headspace (which will allow for any expansion in the freezer and keep your jars from cracking)!
NOTES & TIPS
- This recipe does not turn out well with a regular blender or food processor. A workaround is to use shredded coconut and a glass blender. It will not come out as smooth; you will likely have to strain it through cheesecloth or a nut-milk bag (such as the Organic Cotton Nut Milk Bag by Pardal).
- If you strain your milk, reserve the coconut mash and mix it into or use as a topping on my fat bomb, ice cream, popsicle, cookie, and brownie recipes.
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

Cachexia Smoothie or Popsicles

Hibiscus Hawaiian Punch
As a kid, I loved super-sweet red punch, but it was loaded with two cups of sugar. As a teen, I was addicted to those giant Sobe fruit punch drinks–again more sugar. Now I quench my thirst with this punch! I also love to drink this when I am fasting.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 quarts filtered water
- ¼ cup loose organic hibiscus leaves (check the bulk section of your local, quality grocery store or order online)
- ⅛ cup loose green stevia leaves or ½ cup Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener, to taste
OPTIONAL

- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon or 2 sticks
- agave tequila or vodka made from potatoes only, added after straining (see note)
PREPARATION
Sun tea method: In a ½-gallon mason jar, mix everything together and steep in a sunny place for 2-4 hours.
Stovetop method: Add all ingredients to a large saucepan, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and let it steep for 10 minutes.
After steeping, strain your punch. Enjoy as is, or may be diluted with more filtered water to your liking. Serve hot, iced, or even frozen into popsicles or ice cubes! Keep refrigerated/frozen and enjoy within 5 days.
NOTES & TIPS
- You should only enjoy this recipe with alcohol if all of your labs are in Dr. Nasha’s optimal ranges and your scans are NED! To make your entire batch of punch alcoholic (party-sized), add about 21 ounces of agave tequila or vodka made from potatoes only after you strain the punch. For an easy single-serving cocktail, stir together 1 cup of ice, 1 ounce of alcohol, and 3 ounces of strained punch, or to taste.

Homemade Flavored Water
Store-bought flavored water almost always comes in cans or cartons lined with plastic chemicals that mimic estrogen and can drive a cancering process, or have toxic dyes and preservatives. Avoid them by making your own.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup ice (made with filtered water)
- 6-8 ounces filtered flat water or carbonated water (from a glass bottle or made in a SodaStream Fizzi Sparkling Water Maker)
OPTIONAL
- fresh mint or basil leaves, to taste (for muddling)
- cocktail (see note): add 1 ounce agave tequila or vodka made from potatoes only and reduce water to 3 ounces, or to your liking
CHOOSE YOUR FLAVOR
- several drops of flavored stevia, to taste (such as coconut, chocolate, english toffee, vanilla creme, almond, pumpkin spice, etc)
- zest from ½ a lemon, lime, or orange (see note) mixed with 1-2 teaspoons Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener
- food-grade essential oils, flavored oils, flavored concentrates, or sugar-free, alcohol-free extracts, to taste, such as raspberry, orange, strawberry, coconut, vanilla, banana, lemon, or lime (see my list “Where to Buy Keto Ingredients” on page ##) mixed with 1-2 teaspoons Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener
PREPARATION
First, if desired, muddle fresh mint or basil leaves in the bottom of a cocktail shaker or 1-quart mason jar.
Add ice, water, and your flavoring choice to the cocktail shaker/jar. If preparing this beverage as a cocktail, add the alcohol now as well.
Cover and shake if using flat water, or stir to combine if using carbonated water. (Shaking carbonated water will cause the pressure to build up and can potentially make the contents explode from your cocktail shaker/jar.) Alternatively, use a blender to combine everything into a slushie.
Pour into a glass and enjoy!
NOTES & TIPS
- Scrub the citrus vigorously before zesting as even organic has a toxic coating.
- You should only enjoy this recipe with alcohol if all of your labs are in Dr. Nasha’s optimal ranges and your scans are NED!

Pour into a glass and enjoy!
NOTES & TIPS
- Scrub the citrus vigorously before zesting as even organic has a toxic coating.
- You should only enjoy this recipe with alcohol if all of your labs are in Dr. Nasha’s optimal ranges and your scans are NED!
- Remember to use anti-cancer ingredients as often as possible. Look for terms like organic, non-GMO, chemical-free, pasture-raised, grass-fed/finished, wild-caught, etc. When in doubt, please refer to my yes and no foods lists on page ##!

Health & Beauty
I’ve put together a list of references and resources for non-toxic products and recipes to use on your body and in your home.
Laundry Powder
Buy laundry powder from Seventh Generation (liquid is more toxic), use EWG.org to find the least toxic laundry detergent (must get an “A”), or make your own!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup organic washing soda
- 1 cup organic boric acid
- 1 bar soap, grated (I use Dr. Bronner’s)
PREPARATION
Mix in a jar or melt on the stove for liquid.
Healthy Chewing Gum
Toothpaste
I dip my toothbrush in aluminum-free baking soda for toothpaste. It’s cheap, easy, effective, and nothing to make! If you want more of a ‘paste’ like my hubby, just blend aluminum-free baking soda, coconut oil, mint flavoring, and Sukrin Gold or other non-GMO, low-glycemic sweetener in the food processor.
Some rave about Twigbrush.
Hair Care
Use EWG.org to see if your products contain toxins and carcinogens. Use only products rated “A” or “0-1” on the EWG.org toxin scale. If your product is not there, you can read the label of your product and look up each individual ingredient.
Many years ago, I stopped using shampoo and conditioners–this was cheaper, and made my hair look much better! Read more here.
I didn’t do well with the aluminum-free baking soda, but I am a fan of water and lots of vinegar. Each hair type is different. When my hair feels greasy, the vinegar does a better job of conditioning and degreasing than the aluminum-free baking soda. I found the aluminum-free baking soda to be too dry and frizzy.
I use jojoba oil or aragon oil after my hair is dry if the ends are still frizzy. For a hair ‘wax’, mix aragon or Jojoba oil with some beeswax.
Hair Color
I use a cotton ball and some hydrogen peroxide to do some quick highlights. Natural henna and other plant-based hair dyes are great, or any product rated “A” or “0-2”on EWG.org.
Face Care and Cosmetics
I use organic coconut oil as a cleanser and toner. I also use organic jojoba oil. For makeup, I use BeautyCounter.com or for even less toxins, SerpentSpiral.com.
Sunscreen & Bug Spray
I use AllGoodProducts.com
Dryer Sheets & Fabric Softeners
Skip them. Here is why.
Lotion
I mostly use coconut oil, but AllGoodProducts.com also sells lotion at Whole Foods. I do notice that eating high fat actually moisturizes my skin cells from the inside!
Deodorant
AllGoodProducts.com or Fat and the Moon Deodorant Cream
Or make your own using this easy recipe from High Energy Girl.
About the Author
Alison Gannett was diagnosed with terminal malignant brain cancer in 2013 and given 6–8 months to live with standard care. After a partially successful surgery, she found Dr. Nasha Winters, utilizing her metabolic approach and new treatments to reverse the root causes of her cancer. The radical changes to her diet and lifestyle produced stunning results that confounded her doctors. Alison specializes in customized oncology nutrition with adjunct support to prevent, manage, or conquer cancer. She is a keynote speaker around the globe on the topic of overcoming her terminal cancer and how others can reverse or prevent the root causes of the cancer. Alison graduated Summa Cum Laude with Honors in 1987 with a Bachelor of Science from University of Vermont. In 2014 she completed a year-long training with the Integrative Cancer Advocacy Network (ICAN) program, taught by Dr. Winters. Since then, she has consulted frequently with Dr. Winters, enabling continuous training in customized oncology nutrition. In 2020 she completed her Ketogenic Nutrition Specialist course with American Nutrition Association. Alison works with clients all over the world to customize their nutrition and lifestyle to prevent and conquer cancer. She is currently one of only a handful of nutritionist that can book a consult on a client’s behalf with Dr. Winters for customized treatment protocols.
