Seasoned with olive oil and garlic, it’s an easy side dish that you can make in 10 minutes. The more I grill vegetables, the more I realize how much I love them cooked this way. Some of my favorite side dishes are grilled zucchini, grilled eggplant, grilled okra, and grilled portobello mushrooms. Not that there’s anything wrong with steamed veggies, especially when topped with a little butter. I really enjoy steamed carrots, for example....
They make the perfect keto weekend breakfast, and they’re also excellent as a quick afternoon snack. I am very guilty of having these muffins for breakfast EVERY SINGLE DAY for the past two weeks. You see, I had no choice! I had to experiment in order to achieve perfection. 😂 And I’ve achieved it! These muffins are SO GOOD. And filling! I have two of them for breakfast with a mug of coffee and I’m good for several hours....
Don’t worry about getting the eggs just right - the soup is delicious even when imperfect! There’s something so comforting about this delicious soup. I find the combination of a rich broth and delicate egg ribbons, all flavored with soy sauce and green onions, irresistible. 🍲 Egg drop soup is my favorite soup to eat when I’m under the weather. Classic chicken broth is great too, but the addition of eggs makes this one extra satisfying....
So how to cook it? Sear it in a hot cast-iron skillet, then finish it in the oven. You’ll get a deep brown crusty exterior and a juicy interior, just like in a steakhouse. Every time I order a steak at a good steakhouse, I’m in awe. It always comes out perfect - a thick delicious crust on the outside, super juicy medium-rare meat on the inside. How do they do it?...
The leftovers are even better than the freshly made dish, so go ahead and double the recipe if you wish. I love making chili in the fall and winter. It’s warm, well-seasoned, and comforting. I like to make a big pot and enjoy the leftovers over several days - they actually get better as they sit in the fridge. The idea of pumpkin chili may sound suspicious, but it’s really, really good!...
Made with pork sausage and lots of vegetables and flavored with garlic, sage, and thyme, it’s just as good as starchy recipes. I used to LOVE my Thanksgiving bread stuffing. It’s delicious! When I transitioned to a low-carb diet, I was saddened to realize that the traditional recipe had to go. Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make this recipe. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below....
It’s such a simple recipe but it produces impressive results! I like to serve it as an appetizer when I host, but I also make it often for my family. This tasty mousse is such an easy appetizer, and one of those dishes that your guests will thoroughly admire, not realizing how easy it is to make. It’s also great that you can make it ahead of time. Smoked salmon is a delicacy, and when made into mousse it’s even better....
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for several days, so sometimes I double the recipe and make a few extra. I love portobellos. They are so tasty, and they are also substantial - almost meaty. I like their bold flavor and dense texture. I enjoy them simply grilled, but filling them with things is especially fun! This recipe is wonderful. The portobello mushrooms are stuffed with a delicious mixture of spinach, onions, garlic, and parmesan....
And when using store-bought guacamole, it’s also an incredibly easy recipe to make. It only requires three basic ingredients and it’s ready in about 15 minutes. I love deviled eggs. It’s one of my favorite appetizers, and when I eat out, I always order it if it’s available. But it’s also very easy to make at home! Avocado deviled eggs are the perfect snack or appetizer. And the best part?...
It makes the perfect summertime lunch, and it’s also very easy to make! Leftovers are great too. Cold soups are a lifesaver in the summer, when you just can’t bring yourself to heat up the oven or cook over a hot stove. This avocado soup is delicious and so refreshing. While the concept may seem unusual, it actually makes sense that this particular fruit would work well in a soup - after all, it’s wonderfully creamy and flavorful....
It’s as simple as can be - brush the fish with olive oil, season it, then broil for just 4 minutes. The fish comes out so delicious and perfectly cooked! Whenever I want to make something quick for dinner, I default to one of my trusted salmon recipes. I always have frozen salmon fillets on hand. All I need to do is remember to defrost them the night before. Although even if I forget, I can simply use them frozen in most recipes and cook the fish a little longer....
The leftovers are excellent too, either reheated or even cold straight out of the fridge! My grandma Chava (Eve) used to make amazing cabbage rolls. The leaves were lightly steamed, stuffed with a mixture of beef, onions, and rice, and cooked lovingly in well-seasoned tomato sauce. It was a delicate, flavorful, and laborious dish. Grandma’s entire life revolved around cooking for us, her kids and grandkids, and feeding us. She made complex recipes and slaved over the stove the entire day....
It keeps in the fridge for several days, and you can use it in so many ways - with veggies, salads, wings, and more. When compared to store-bought varieties, there’s truly no comparison. This homemade dressing is tastier, creamier, and - just as important - it has a simple and short ingredient list. But fresh-cut veggies are obviously a great vehicle for consuming it, and so are salads. Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make this homemade blue cheese dressing....
It’s an easy recipe that I love to make with my kids! The leftovers keep well for several days and you can also successfully freeze them. Ingredients You’ll only need a few ingredients to make these keto chocolate chip cookies. The exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need: They are buttery, soft, and very flavorful. The chocolate chips melt into the tasty dough and give you the best chocolaty experience....
There’s no need for powdered sugar! It’s beautifully thick and holds its shape well. Cream cheese frosting is so delicious. I used to love it in my high-carb days, and I much prefer it to buttercream frosting. I just don’t really like butter in my frosting, and I do like the tang that cream cheese adds (but I make an exception for chocolate frosting!). After transitioning to a low-carb diet, I wasn’t sure if you could make a keto version without powdered sugar....
There’s no need to marinate the meat prior to cooking, and you can enjoy the leftovers reheated or cold. Tender, succulent, and very flavorful, ribeye is my favorite cut of beef. And this tasty recipe for cooking the whole roast is especially easy to make. Simply rub the meat with seasonings, then cook it in the oven until done. Your only real job as a cook is to avoid overcooking the roast....
And while not identical to the real thing, it’s close enough, so there’s no need to feel deprived. Much like cauliflower, I find that spaghetti squash is a lifesaver when you crave certain comfort foods. So while cauliflower is the perfect substitute for rice, spaghetti squash is a wonderful replacement for noodles. This dish is so rich and comforting, I truly don’t miss the real thing when I make it....
This recipe is ready in less than 30 minutes, it’s very simple to make, and the sauce is wonderfully flavorful! This delicious stir-fry is one of my most requested leftover turkey recipes. All my family members love it! And I love the way leftover turkey forces me to be creative. Back when I didn’t mind bread, it was easy! Turkey salad, quesadillas, paninis, enchiladas, and even turkey pizza were the obvious solution....
Simply apply a simple rub of olive oil and spices to the chicken pieces, then bake them for 30 minutes in the oven. It’s as easy as can be and so delicious. Chicken is easy and affordable, but it can get boring, especially when you make it often, as I do. That’s why I’m always trying to come up with new ways to make it more interesting for my family and for myself....
In this easy 40-minute recipe, chicken breast is coated in a tasty rub, then baked in a hot oven until perfectly juicy. I’m always on the lookout for ways to make chicken breasts more interesting. Easy chicken cordon bleu is a huge favorite around here, and so is bacon-wrapped chicken. I have several more excellent recipes in my arsenal, and this Cajun chicken is definitely one of them. It’s delicious, VERY easy to make, and even the leftovers are great - I especially like them in a salad....
