A fresh-tasting and delicious summer side dish, it’s also very easy to make, and it’s ready in just 20 minutes. I adore salads in the summer. They are so fresh and easy, and they minimize the need to heat up the oven or slave over a hot stove. I enjoy main-dish salads, but I also like side salads such as this one. This tasty salad is a summer staple at my house....

Broiled for just 3 minutes per side, they are ready fast, making them the ideal weeknight dinner. These kabobs are so very flavorful! The spice combination is amazing. They make such a great solution for steak cuts that are just OK. I also like that I can make them in the oven, under the broiler. I’ve got nothing against grilling, but I really enjoy making these beef kabobs in the winter, when I don’t really feel like grilling outside....

You can enjoy them just as they are or dip them in a tasty dipping sauce. They’re especially good when freshly prepared, but the leftovers are excellent too. My mother-in-law introduced me to these tasty meatballs. With the exception of turkey meatballs, I almost always make mine with beef (these spicy meatballs are wonderful). But when I tasted her recipe, I was hooked! Admittedly, chicken meatballs tend to have a milder flavor than beef ones, although in this recipe they are very well seasoned....

Ready in less than 10 minutes, you can whip them up any time you feel like turning hard-boiled eggs into a treat! I love hard-boiled eggs. I love them plain, with just a sprinkle of salt and pepper. And I also enjoy them topped with a variety of toppings - mayonnaise, mustard, sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce. Obviously, I love them deviled (who doesn’t?). I make a dozen hard-boiled eggs twice a week for my family of four, so we can always have one or two if we’re hungry between meals....

Ready in about 30 minutes, they are surprisingly close to the real thing, and they go well with so many side dishes. I’ve been staying away from processed chicken tenders for years. But I used to coat my homemade tenders with breadcrumbs. When I transitioned to a low-carb diet, I discovered that almond flour is perfect for coating them. These gluten-free chicken tenders are wonderfully delicious and crispy. They are coated with almond flour and fried in avocado oil, which is very suitable for high-heat cooking....

Try them with some sweet butter - they are wonderful! These biscuits also freeze well, so you can make a double batch to ensure tasty leftovers. Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make these keto biscuits. The exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need: I always loved biscuits. When I started eating a low-carb and grain-free diet, it was really important to me to find a good substitute, so I developed this recipe....

Ready in just 20 minutes, it’s the perfect dish to make when you’re not in the mood for an elaborate recipe. I like to cook fish and seafood 2-3 times per week. I almost always default to baked salmon and shrimp scampi, both easy and quick. But after discovering frozen rainbow trout fillets at Trader Joe’s, I’ve been making this recipe regularly. It’s a truly tasty fish, kind of like a delicate version of salmon, and the quick preparation is also a bonus....

It is delicious all on its own, very good in a sandwich made with keto bread, and just lovely when piled on slices of crunchy cucumber. One of my favorite lunches, apart from reheating last night’s leftovers, is making a quick high-protein salad and serving it with veggies. I often make tuna salad, salmon salad, and chicken salad. This egg salad is another keto lunch staple. It’s tasty, very easy to make, and it keeps for a few days in the fridge....

Sprinkle them with spices, pan-fry them for five minutes, and dinner is ready! I make this recipe quite often. It’s easy and very flavorful. It’s also ready fast, making it ideal for a weeknight dinner. We all enjoy it, with the notable exception of my youngest, The Picky Eater. I can’t say I’m surprised. 🙂 Organ meats are probably an acquired taste. I wasn’t too fond of them as a kid either....

You can serve a cup of it as an appetizer, or serve a bowl as a filling and flavorful main course. Soup is the perfect wintertime appetizer. But it’s not just an appetizer! In fact, I often serve a bowl of it as a main course. And if you like mushrooms, I think you are going to absolutely love this delicious soup. It’s silky, creamy, and incredibly flavorful. One of us actually dislikes mushrooms (even these wonderful sauteed mushrooms), but she loves this soup and regularly asks for seconds when I make it....

Leftovers are great, too - and you can even grab a slice and eat it cold for a quick snack. I love making frittatas. Egg dishes are perfect for breakfast or brunch - they are flavorful and very satiating. And frittatas are especially fun to make because you can use up whatever ingredients you happen to have on hand. This egg white frittata is so fluffy and delicious. It’s wonderful for brunch, and I love having the leftovers for my breakfasts throughout the week....

The hands-on prep time is just 15 minutes! The rest is the time needed for it to bake and then rest and set until you can slice it. I love pies, and I love flaky, buttery pie crust 🥧. But I often feel that the extra carbs/calories are just not worth it. After all, it’s the filling that gives pies most of their flavor. This wonderful keto chocolate pie is just perfect for satisfying that sweet tooth while avoiding gluten and too many carbs....

It’s scrumptious, delicious, and very filling. It’s the perfect low-carb and keto substitute for loaded mashed potatoes. It’s no wonder I have so many cauliflower recipes on this blog! It’s such a tasty and versatile vegetable. Mashed cauliflower is especially delicious and surprisingly similar to mashed potatoes. This makes it an ideal low-carb and keto substitute. Topping the mashed cauliflower with bacon and cheese makes it even better. But hey, bacon and cheese make everything better!...

Ready in under 30 minutes and so very flavorful, I serve them often to guests and to my family. I always look for fun, tasty appetizers. My husband and I host a lot of dinner parties, and we like to start with drinks and appetizers. It’s easy to serve deviled eggs, fresh-cut veggies with Greek yogurt dip, and a few kinds of cheese. But sometimes I want something a little more elaborate....

Once you bite into the warm dough, it’s very difficult to believe that these are made with almond flour and not with the real thing. I used to mourn my beloved weekend morning ritual of a toasted bagel, a thick layer of cream cheese, and a potent cup of coffee. ☕ No more! These bagels are AMAZING. They are soft and doughy, and they taste just wonderful. This is truly a miracle dough and I am so grateful for discovering it....

And in case you’re wondering… no, you can’t actually taste the avocado! It simply adds wonderful richness and creaminess. Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make this tasty dessert. The exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need: But that photo, so rich and dark and decadent, kept haunting me. And every time I bought a ripe Haas avocado, I did not think about guacamole, avocado fries, or baked avocado eggs....

I like to brush the chicken pieces with a tasty sauce of honey and Dijon mustard - the sweet-savory flavor combination is phenomenal! I’m not usually a fan of boneless skinless chicken breasts. I find that they are a bit bland. I did finally learn how to bake chicken breast, keeping it juicy. And this recipe for skin-on chicken breast is amazing. But when you add bacon, everything becomes even better....

Most shrimp recipes are quick, but this one is especially easy. Dipped in cocktail sauce or drawn butter, this is one of my favorite ways to enjoy shrimp. I think I like this recipe better than any of my other shrimp recipes. Although this shrimp stir-fry is really good. As is this easy shrimp scampi recipe. OK, so I have several recipes that I love! 🙂 Still, this is certainly a favorite of mine....

Ready in just 30 minutes, it’s the perfect side dish for a busy weeknight. Leftovers are great too! One of my kids is not a fan of cauliflower. That’s unfortunate, because my husband and I love it - it’s such a wonderful, versatile vegetable for anyone on the keto diet. However, this cauliflower casserole is magical! It’s the only way she’ll agree to eat cauliflower. I guess the cheese and bacon make it tolerable....

The ribs literally fall off the bones when done, and the BBQ sauce becomes nicely caramelized. Even the leftovers are great! There’s no need to fire up the grill! These amazing ribs are slowly baked in the oven until the meat is tender, juicy, and literally falls off the bones. I love ordering pork ribs at BBQ joints, but this is actually a surprisingly easy recipe to make at home....
