That was when I discovered that you CAN have desserts on the keto diet. Using ingredients such as almond flour, coconut flour, and sugar-free sweeteners, one can actually create amazing treats! Frequently asked questions Keto cheesecakes It’s no coincidence I started this collection with cheesecakes. They are probably my favorite type of dessert (with chocolate as a close second!). The good news: it’s VERY easy to create keto cheesecakes. You don’t need to replace flour - all you need to replace is the sweetener....

They are so flavorful! The combination of cream cheese, cheddar, parmesan, garlic and bacon is amazing. These little savory appetizers are so delicious! A mixture of cheeses, spices, and crumbled bacon - why wouldn’t they be? When I entertain, I like to start the evening off with a few simple party appetizers and cocktails. Ideally, the appetizers can be made in advance and I can serve them at room temperature....

They’re really good with just the glaze, but it’s also fun to use different toppings, such as crushed nuts and shredded coconut. These wonderful donuts are yet another proof that one can indulge in amazing treats even on a low-carb diet. They are soft, moist, and wonderfully chocolaty. They remind me of chocolate cake donuts - an old favorite. 🍩 You’ll need a donut pan to make them, but other than this special piece of equipment, making them is a straightforward affair and not particularly challenging....

It’s the perfect summer side dish, and you can make it ahead of time and chill it until ready to serve. This tasty salad is one of the summer’s little pleasures. Much like cold watermelon, fresh raspberries, and chilled soups (such as gazpacho). There’s something special about the combination of cucumbers and sour cream. The cucumbers are cool and fresh, the sour cream rich and creamy. And when you add vinegar and dill, you get a wonderfully flavorful salad that goes nicely with a wide variety of meals....

Ready in just 20 minutes, it’s a truly easy recipe that makes a delicious and complete meal. I really like ground beef. It’s cheap, readily available, very versatile, and when you buy the vacuum-sealed packages, it lasts for quite a while too. It also freezes easily and thaws well. So I always have a few packages in the fridge or in the freezer. I mostly use them for easy everyday recipes such as burgers, meatballs, casseroles, and meatloaf....

It’s a magic cheese that you can grill, and it’s ready in just 10 minutes! Enjoy it on its own, in a sandwich, or in salads. Have you heard about the cheese that doesn’t melt? When cooked, it has a browned, crusty exterior, a soft, gooey interior, and an intensely savory flavor. It truly is magic - a cheese that retains its shape when grilled. Ingredients The beauty of this recipe is that you only need TWO ingredients to make it!...

They are absolutely perfect for breakfast with eggs and avocado, or for dinner with a bowl of chili. Before I learned to make keto cornbread, these muffins were my favorite side to serve with no-bean chili. They are so easy to make and so very flavorful! I still make them often, but now I usually have them for breakfast. The combination of cheese, garlic, and cayenne is really good. Almost too good!...

Ready in just 30 minutes, this flavorful dish is an interesting variation on eating them raw. Leftovers are great too! I don’t know about you, but I think tomatoes are wonderful whether raw or cooked. I adore them raw in a tomato salad or in this amazing Caprese salad, but I also love them cooked. Cooking really concentrates and brings out their unique flavor. And it has a way of making them more savory than sweet....

These incredible keto waffles are ready in just 30 minutes, and they freeze well, so you can make a few batches and enjoy them throughout the week. These waffles are so good! They are delicious, wonderfully crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. They smell amazing as they bake and they have a pleasant vanilla flavor. In fact, I like them so much, that I sometimes make a double batch and freeze the leftovers for easy weekday breakfasts....

I make them with ground beef, but the same recipe works beautifully with ground pork as well. These meatballs are the best! They combine the fun of eating meatballs with the extra fun of a sweet, sticky sauce. My kids adore them and love helping me make them. But just as importantly, the grownups love them too! The meatballs themselves are very well seasoned - their flavor is quite complex and the Asian-style glaze greatly enhances them....

In the summer, I add enough water to turn this thick sauce into a deliciously refreshing chilled soup. It’s difficult to believe that such simple ingredients - yogurt, olive oil, grated cucumbers, garlic, and dill - combine to create such a wonderful sauce. Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make this creamy tzatziki sauce. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need: You can make a big batch and refrigerate it....

I like to top these burgers with sauteed onions and smoked gouda, but you can use your own favorite toppings. The secret to these super delicious burgers? They have a wonderful smoky flavor thanks to a generous sprinkling of smoked paprika and a topping of melted smoked gouda. The combination of the well-seasoned beef and the melted cheese is phenomenal. I like to use the broiler to cook hamburgers because it’s so easy....

While they require a few steps and take some time to be ready, they are actually quite easy to make, and they last for several days in the fridge. If you like the combination of peanut butter and chocolate, you’re in for a very special treat! These keto peanut butter bars are amazing. They are so chocolatey and decadent. They combine two of my favorite foods: creamy peanut butter and extra-dark chocolate....

Ready in about 45 minutes, it’s one of those delightful treats that will ensure you never feel deprived on your low-carb diet. This is by far one of my favorite desserts! I love layer cakes of any kind (this keto birthday cake is another big favorite), and in this case, the combination of flavors and textures is simply amazing. 🍰 I would concede that it’s not the easiest recipe to make....

The cauliflower head comes out beautifully browned on the outside and tender on the inside. It was my dad who inspired me to make this recipe. Dad is a great cook, always happy to try new recipes. When he sent over this beautiful photo, I just had to try it too! I’m happy I tried it. It’s a great recipe and I’ve been making it regularly ever since I first tried it....

I cook them slowly for several hours, then baste them with the pan juices and briefly broil them to brown the fat. It’s so good, that I’ve been making it regularly ever since. Apart from being super tasty, these ribs are also very easy to make, and I love the fact that leftovers are REALLY good - almost better than the freshly cooked dish. At home, after some research, I developed the following recipe, which resulted in tender, succulent, and very flavorful ribs....

I love serving them over buttery mashed cauliflower, and the leftovers are wonderful too! I adore lamb. I realize that not everyone likes this bold-tasting meat, but I find it so intensely flavorful! The shanks are especially fun to eat. They’re like huge drumsticks - I feel like a cavewoman when I eat them. 😀 So I make this recipe quite often. It’s truly easy, and I always try to make extra, so that I have yummy leftovers....

They’re perfect on game day, or anytime you crave something crunchy on the keto diet. Many people complain that they miss crunchy snacks on the keto diet. I was one of them until I discovered that there are actually MANY options when it comes to crispy and crunchy keto snacks. These amazing chips are one of those snacks that help you stop feeling as though you’re missing out on something by being on a low-carb diet....

Leftovers are really good, so I sometimes double the recipe and enjoy the leftovers for several days. When it comes to green veggies and picky eaters, broccoli is not the worst offender. When fresh, it’s fairly mild-flavored. And when lightly steamed or roasted, it is quite delicious. Still, the Picky Eater in our family doesn’t ever eat more than half a cup of it, even when generously buttered. That’s why I adore these broccoli tots....

Serve it with veggies or berries to balance out its richness. It’s wonderful topped with a dollop of sour cream! I love eggs. I especially like them for breakfast, although I also enjoy them for lunch and even for dinner. Even though I like eggs prepared in almost any way one can imagine, I especially enjoy omelets. I really like adding other ingredients - meats, cheeses, and vegetables - to the eggs....
