Since the beginning of March, I\u2019ve taken another stab at dieting. It\u2019s something we all struggle with, and I decided to make the most out of the quarantine situation COVID-19 put us in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m on the keto diet, which has been easier for me to stick with compared to other programs like Atkins<\/a> or the Whole 30<\/a>. You can have all the cheese, meat and vegetables you want, drink anything that is devoid of carbs and sugar and almost everything has a keto alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, for the foreseeable future, we\u2019re going to talk about those alternatives and how I make them replace some of the foods I couldn\u2019t live without. Welcome to the Keto Files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first thing I\u2019m going to talk about is the secret weapon of keto. It replaces buns for your burgers, serves as a base for any sandwich, works as a pizza, can be made into glorious taco shells and serves as a nice breakfast treat: the chaffle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They\u2019re also simple as hell to make. The only things you need are a mini waffle maker, \u00bd cup mozzarella cheese and an egg. These work well for breakfast and are served with sugar-free maple syrup and butter. Here\u2019s how to make a basic chaffle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ingredients <\/strong>(each serving makes two chaffles):<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cooking Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Basic chaffles are pretty simple to make and have 3 net carbs. However, I can\u2019t shake the egg-like taste from them if they aren\u2019t used for breakfast, so I like to use Kasey Trenum\u2019s Taco Chaffle<\/a> recipe for my buns and taco shells. Here\u2019s how you make them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ingredients<\/strong> (each serving makes two chaffles):<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cooking Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Chaffles are a great way to start a keto journey, as they replace some of the most common foods that aren\u2019t compliant with the diet. It\u2019s a relatively new revelation in the community and new recipes are always brewing. One on my to-try list is a parmesan cheese chaffle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Come back next time for more keto recipes to keep you away from the \u201cquarantine 15.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
