It’s the perfect weeknight side dish because it’s truly easy to make and it’s ready in just 20 minutes. I really like broccoli. I enjoy it raw, dipped in homemade ranch dressing. And I also like simple microwave broccoli, dressed in melted butter and lemon juice. But oven-roasted broccoli is the best. Roasting vegetables caramelizes them and makes them extra flavorful. It’s the best way of cooking them, in my opinion....

If you want them to peel easily, you should use old eggs. The closer they are to their expiration date, the easier it will be to peel them. I really like eggs. They are so delicious and satiating! I like them for breakfast, but I also enjoy them for lunch or for a meatless dinner. I enjoy them poached, fried, or scrambled… and I also love soft-boiled eggs. Truly, I don’t think I ever tried an egg recipe that I didn’t like....

Baking them downplays their sharpness and brings out a pleasant creaminess. This easy recipe is ready in about 30 minutes! I really like the sharp peppery taste of fresh radishes and enjoy them in salads or even as a snack (try them dipped in guacamole! Really good). I also enjoy them roasted. Roasted radishes become mild-flavored and creamy. They actually (and surprisingly) make a great alternative to roasted potatoes....

Ready in about 20 minutes, this truly easy recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner. I make shrimp often for my family, so I’m always looking for new and interesting shrimp recipes. This rich cream sauce is probably one of my favorite ways to cook them. It’s wonderfully creamy and so very flavorful. It’s one of those dishes that look and taste really sophisticated but is really easy to make....

Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best ones! And this one is ready in less than 10 minutes. Steaming is a gentle cooking method that I really like. And while steamed vegetables may not sound as exciting as other cooking methods (roasting, sauteing), they can be really good. Examples? Sure! This recipe is excellent, as are my recipes for steamed carrots and steamed cabbage. I do love my sautéed spinach recipe - it’s very flavorful....

There’s no flour in this sauce, and it’s truly not needed. Just heavy cream, cheddar, and spices. It comes out wonderfully thick and creamy. So I often make cheesy casseroles such as broccoli casserole or cauliflower casserole. They certainly do help the medicine go down! And this creamy keto cheese sauce is another reliable way to achieve the same effect. It’s wonderfully thick, creamy and velvety, yet it contains no flour....

It’s a delicious side dish that goes with so many entrees. And leftovers are good too, whether reheated or added cold to a salad. I must confess: I like simply boiled Brussels sprouts. When they are young and fresh and simply boiled, I find them very tasty, with or without a cheese sauce. Having said that, roasted Brussels sprouts are a delicacy. It’s difficult to believe it when you look at the raw vegetable....

All they need is a drizzle of sweet butter - there’s no need for added sugar. And they’re ready in less than 30 minutes! Peaches are now in season, and I take full advantage of it! Don’t they have the most wonderful fragrance? But as much as I love fresh peaches, I love them even better when they are grilled. Grilling enhances their flavor and brings out their natural sweetness....

This easy weeknight recipe is ready in under 30 minutes. The chicken comes out so juicy and flavorful! Most stir-fry recipes are very easy. The only “difficult” part is prepping the veggies and mixing the sauce, and even that’s not truly difficult to do. The cooking itself is usually a matter of minutes. Ingredients Like most stir-fry recipes, the list of ingredients may seem daunting. But it’s quick to gather, and the cooking itself happens very fast....

It’s topped with creamy mashed cauliflower instead of the traditional mashed potatoes. It’s wonderfully flavorful and satiating! I love making hearty casseroles, and this is one of my favorites. It’s wonderfully filling, my entire family loves it, and it makes a complete meal, so I don’t have to bother with sides (unless I want to). Plus, I love how this keto shepherd’s pie is just (OK, almost) as delicious as the traditional pie....

They’re ready in just minutes, and you can serve them as an appetizer or as the main course. Some types of meat and seafood are innately delicious. The only real requirement from the cook is not to ruin them by overcooking. This is true for baked salmon, lamb chops, and definitely scallops. Seared scallops are delicious and surprisingly easy to make. I almost always have a bag of them in my freezer....

Ready in just 20 minutes, this is one of my favorite vegetable side dishes to cook during the week, when I’m often pressed for time. I really like cabbage. I’m not a big fan of eating it raw unless it comes in the form of tasty coleslaw or this delicious Asian cabbage salad. But when cooked, I find it so very tasty. And this particular recipe is especially good. I also like how easy this recipe is....

Pesto is basically basil, olive oil, garlic, and parmesan – these flavors pair amazingly well with seafood such as shrimp. Like many of my recipes, this tasty shrimp recipe was born out of my desperate need to use up ingredients before they go bad. It all started when I bought fresh basil to make a Caprese salad. The salad was amazing but required very little of the basil. And since basil doesn’t keep well in the fridge, I decided to make some pesto sauce....

It’s an easy hands-off recipe that practically bakes itself, and leftovers are good too, especially when eaten cold, picnic-style. Chicken is tasty and affordable and my kids like it, which is always a good reason to make something (if you have kids you know it’s true). These wonderful oven-baked chicken leg quarters have crispy, delicious skin and juicy, succulent meat. Who says chicken can’t be a delicacy? It all depends on how you cook it....

It’s truly easy to make this classic dressing at home. It’s ready in about 15 minutes (including measuring out the ingredients) and the result is vastly superior to store-bought options. I love thick and creamy dressings. They make fresh-cut veggies extra palatable! I enjoy blue cheese dressing and tahini sauce - both are wonderfully rich and flavorful. Ingredients Instructions Expert tip This dressing is excellent right after you’ve mixed it, so you can definitely serve it right away....

The result is so tender and juicy, and - just as important - leftovers are really good too. Beef brisket is my favorite meat to order in barbecue joints. The best places smoke the meat slowly, over 18 to 24 hours. The result: wonderfully smoky, flavorful, and tender meat. But even if you don’t own a smoker, your oven is a great tool for making tender and flavorful brisket. Use smoked paprika (and smoked salt if you have it) to give the meat a bit of that wonderful smoky flavor, and cook it on low for several hours....

The collection contains both savory and sweet snacks, and they can all be made at home with basic, simple ingredients. Deprivation and cravings are the enemies of any way of eating. For those of us used to snacking, learning how to make tasty low-carb snacks can be the difference between success and failure. Making sure you always have delicious keto items to reach for is the best insurance against reaching for the foods you’re trying to get away from - starchy, sugary, and processed....

But it’s not just a snack - you can also pair it with vegetables for lunch or even for a light dinner. As it turns out, one can pan-fry pizza. You simply add cheese and toppings to your nonstick skillet and cook, slowly and patiently, until the cheese crisps up. Then you cut the pizza into wedges. 🍕 This skillet pizza is wonderfully crispy and so very tasty! It’s the easiest low-carb pizza recipe I have in my repertoire, and I love that it’s ready so fast....

Serve it alone as a flavorful side dish, or pair it with a tasty dipping sauce and serve it as a snack. I love okra. I suspect it’s a bit like cilantro in that people either really like it or strongly dislike it. The most common objection is that it has a slimy texture. Okra is slimy because it contains mucilage, which is heat-activated. So if you don’t cook it properly, it can have an unpleasant texture....

They are also great as a quick, filling snack. You can make extra, keep them in the fridge for several days, and reheat them as needed. I always say that I prefer an egg-based breakfast to a baked-good-based one. And it’s true. I simply find them more satiating. But having eggs for breakfast every single day can get boring. That’s why recipes like this one are so great - they keep things varied and interesting....
