Ready in about 30 minutes and truly easy to make, they’re absolutely perfect for a weekend brunch. I really like having eggs for breakfast. 🍳 They are so delicious and very filling. I usually don’t mind simply fried or poached eggs, especially on toasted keto English muffins. But sometimes you want variety, you know? Festive, pretty, and delicious, salami and egg cups are tasty, gorgeous, and very filling. They are perfect for breakfast, and you can absolutely serve them to your guests for brunch....

They are really good over cauliflower rice or even over raw spinach leaves - they wilt the leaves just enough to slightly cook them. If you like shrimp and enjoy Asian-style dishes, I think you will love this super quick recipe. It’s in minutes, literally. It takes about 20 minutes from start to finish, including prepping the ingredients, so it’s ideal for weeknight dinners. Ingredients The full list of ingredients and their measurements is included in the recipe card below....

And while it’s not completely foolproof - sometimes the sauce does end up separating - I find that it nearly always succeeds, as long as you add the butter slowly and patiently. Hollandaise sauce is a delicacy. Its creamy texture and delicate flavor are just wonderful. But it takes quite a bit of work. That’s why I’m grateful for this blender version, which is truly easy to make. The only drawback is that you can’t make it ahead of time....

While it makes a wonderful first course, it’s so substantial and filling, that you can easily serve it as the main course. There’s nothing quite like a hot, comforting bowl of soup when it’s cold outside. It’s the quintessential winter experience (I suppose hot chocolate is another good example). This hearty cabbage soup is an especially lovely way to keep warm on a cold winter night. It is rich, very flavorful, and the addition of spicy sausage turns it into a complete and very filling meal....

It’s very easy to make - it’s ready in about 20 minutes - and the leftovers keep well for several days. This cabbage side dish is one of my favorite vegetable side dishes these days. It’s just so very flavorful! Another good reason to make it often is that it’s VERY easy to make - it’s literally ready in minutes. In fact, sometimes I double this recipe to make intentional leftovers since they last so well and are just as tasty on the fourth day as they were on the first....

Ready in just 15 minutes, you can make it ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for a few days. One of my favorite lunches is some kind of seafood salad stuffed in a vegetable. Some of the recipes I make most often include tuna salad, salmon salad, and smoked salmon mousse, which is admittedly a bit more on the fancy side, but delicious and very easy to make....

And while it practically begs for some crusty bread for dipping, you could easily enjoy it with thick slices of homemade almond flour bread. I find that a lighter, egg-based dinner, is wonderful. Especially in summer. One such dinner that I make quite often is this tasty dish of a baked avocado egg. This recipe is another one that I like to make and that my family greatly enjoys. Shakshuka (pronounced shahk-shoo-kah, emphasis on the middle syllable) is a middle-eastern dish of eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce....

The brown butter sauce is exquisite, and if you’ve never made it before, you’ll be surprised to see how simple it is to make. Sole is a mild fish with a delicate texture and flavor. So when you cook it, you definitely don’t want to overwhelm it with lots of spices and ingredients. That’s why I love this simple, delicious sole meunière recipe that uses just a little butter and lemon to enhance the fish’s naturally delicate flavor....

With a delicious meaty base and lots of cheesy goodness, you won’t miss the doughy crust! I have many recipes for low-carb pizza 🍕. Coconut flour crust pizza and cauliflower pizza crust are great, especially the coconut flour crust. But if you want an even lower carb count, or perhaps less fiber, meat-crust pizza is an excellent option. It’s great for getting all those yummy pizza flavors without overdoing it on carbs....

Crispy, fatty, and very flavorful, these tasty strips are perfect as a first course, or you could try them for breakfast instead of bacon. Pork belly is one of my favorite dishes to order at restaurants. The combination of the crispy fat and the juicy meat is incredible. But it took me a while to try to cook this dish at home. The first time I bought pork belly slices, I wasn’t sure how to cook them....

The coating is so flavorful, and it becomes wonderfully crispy in the oven. From start to finish, this simple recipe is ready in about 40 minutes. I cook chicken fairly often for my family. It’s admittedly not the most exciting type of meat, but it’s reasonably tasty and affordable. So I always look for ways to make it more interesting! My entire family loves this simple recipe. I love it too!...

Although it takes a few hours to make, this is a truly easy, hands-off recipe, where the slow cooker does (almost) all the work. There’s nothing quite like slow-cooked meat. Whether pot roast, goulash, or oxtails, the experience of eating tender, savory, well-cooked meat is pure comfort. I love steak just as much as anyone, but slow-cooked meat is my true love. Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make slow cooker carnitas....

You don’t need to use a lot of honey - one tablespoon per pound of carrots is all it takes. I really like carrots. 🥕 I enjoy their subtly sweet flavor. In fact, I even love simply steamed carrots! But I enjoy many types of simply steamed or even boiled veggies. Perhaps it’s growing up with a Dutch dad - the Dutch (at least his generation) seem to be fond of boiling their vegetables....

It’s truly easy to make, especially if you use pre-cooked chicken. It’s ready in about 30 minutes! I love pizza. 🍕 Who doesn’t? It’s culinary perfection. The combination of the crust, sauce, cheese and toppings is a masterpiece. That’s why, when I transitioned to a low-carb diet, giving up pizza was out of the question. I simply found great-tasting substitutes such as cauliflower pizza, coconut flour pizza, and almond flour pizza....

Roasting this vegetable is a game-changer, convincing even the most reluctant picky eaters that it’s, in fact, worth a try! I happen to like cabbage very much. I think it’s delicious even when very simply prepared. Steamed cabbage with butter and garlic is one of my favorite side dishes. But roasting certainly elevates this vegetable to a whole new level. The Picky Eater, who pretty much objects to all vegetables, declared it as “amazing” and asked for seconds....

You can make them ahead of time, which is always a plus. They’re ready in just 30 minutes! I owe this recipe to my daughter. She made an initial version of it, which was very tasty but a bit time-consuming. Being a lazy cook, I immediately set out to make an easy version. It took a few tries, but the result is so incredibly good! Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make buffalo chicken lettuce wraps....

It’s ready in about 50 minutes, and the leftovers are just as good as the freshly baked dish. Ingredients Here’s an overview of the ingredients you’ll need to make cauliflower stuffing. The exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below: This sausage stuffing is wonderful. But one of our usual Thanksgiving guests doesn’t eat pork, so I wanted to find a vegetarian substitute. This cauliflower stuffing is just what I was looking for....

Ready in about 25 minutes, they’re so easy to make. And the leftovers are really good! I really like green beans. They are so delicious! Simple boiled green beans, liberally salted, are wonderful. I also love spicy green beans. When tender-crisp, rather than limp and lifeless, they are like a salty, spicy snack. The secret to delicious Chinese green beans is sautéing them until tender-crisp and not a second longer....

It’s ready in about 20 minutes, making it a truly quick appetizer that you can whip up even at the last minute. Isn’t this dish just gorgeous? I love serving it to my family, but it’s also very appropriate to serve when you have company over. It’s festive, elegant, and very tasty. When I serve it to my family, I like to serve it as our main course, so I serve six mushrooms per person plus a side or two....

Using an electric fondue pot, it’s surprisingly easy to make at home! And you can vary the basic recipe, using any melty cheese that you like and enjoy. There’s something about melted cheese. The Swiss know it (fondue, raclette dinner). The French know it (French onion soup), and the Americans know it (grilled cheese). Fondue is obviously an amazing dish. What can possibly be better than dipping tasty morsels of food into delicious melted cheese?...
