Fathead Empanadas, Mexican flavours encased and held by the famous Fathead dough. Fathead Empanadas are simple, quick and easy. These Fathead Empanadas are great for work lunches, school lunchboxes, parties, picnics, you name it! They make a pretty large amount so also good for storing in the freezer. I have a big container of Fathead…

Fathead Sausage Rolls
My original idea for these I was thinking of using turkey mince, just for something different, but in the end I opted for tradition and higher fat and went with actual sausage meat. They are sausage rolls after all! You can use different meat if you don’t eat pork or prefer to avoid sausages. You…
Low Carb Dumpling Spring Rolls
I wasn’t really sure what to call these, they kind of look like spring rolls but are actually based off my old steamed dumpling recipe (which I am still determined to recreate somehow with a decent wrapper!). I would combine all these ingredients together in a bowl and make the dumplings using rice paper wrappers…
Beef Mince Sandwiches
A great low carb meal, these little sandwiches use beef mince as the ‘bread’ with a spinach and cheese filling. With a dollop of homemade mayo on the side, these sandwiches are highly addictive. I think I made them about 4 times in one week the first time around! They are adapted from Cookist. You…
Fathead Vegemite and Cheese Scrolls
After making my Fathead Pizza Pinwheels, someone suggested that the recipe might be good for vegemite and cheese scrolls. The thought had never occurred to me since I actually hate vegemite, but there a few household members that love it and I always have vegemite on hand thanks to my son, so decided to try…
Fathead Bagels
It has to be at least 4 years since I’ve had a decent bagel. I used to love them in the past, then discovered a place that did freshly baked and the supermarket ones were ruined forever. The bagel place is nowhere near where I live so I haven’t been there in a long time….
Fathead Pizza Pinwheels
My whole life I grew up eating pizza pinwheels, first made by my mum and her friend and then made myself from when I was a kid. The original version used puff pastry and bottled tomato sauce, but these are free from grains, sugars and other nasties. And they taste even better! They’re a brilliant…
Pastéis de Bacalhau (Portuguese Cod Cakes)
This is a recipe I am really proud of being able to convert to LCHF! I spent my whole life growing up eating these beauties and definitely didn’t want to go without them for the rest of my life. This is based off my avó’s (grandmother’s) recipe. If you haven’t tried these before be sure…
Chilli BBQ Beef Jerky
Another one of my absolute favourite jerky meats, this Chilli BBQ Beef Jerky is sweet and spicy. If you like your food hot then this one is sure to be a winner! Will last up to a month in an airtight container or up to 2 months if vac packed. Storing in the fridge will…
Ranch Beef Jerky
This is another very different beef jerky but one that I really love as a change from the ones with strong spices, chilli or other flavours. This one has a very mild, but lovely taste. It will last up to a month stored in an airtight container or close to 2 months if vac packed….
