It’s amazing on its own, and it’s also the perfect topping for berries, mug cakes, and crustless pies. This sugar-free whipped cream is amazing. It’s rich, wonderfully fluffy, and not overly sweet. It’s one of those desserts where the low-carb version is truly just as good as the original. The best part: It’s VERY easy to make! I simply use my food processor, dump the three ingredients in, press “start,” and it’s ready in TWO MINUTES....
I love that you can make it ahead of time, refrigerate it for a few hours, and then serve it. Needless to say, the leftovers are really good! I got the recipe for this wonderful salad from my mother-in-law. She and my late father-in-law used to love Asian food. Many of their recipes were quite elaborate, but this is actually an easy one. While very easy to make, this salad does not lack in the flavor department!...
The contrast between the tart juicy fruit and the sweet, creamy chocolate is wonderful! The combination of fruit and chocolate is a classic one, and this tasty treat is a prime example. These chocolate-covered raspberries are amazing. You will love experiencing the contrast between the slightly tart juiciness of the fruit and the creamy sweetness of the chocolate. Plus, they are so very pretty! I love serving them when we have people over....
Perfect for breakfast, they freeze well, so you can make a batch and enjoy it over the course of several weeks. These muffins are tender, very fluffy, and delightfully coconutty. I love having a couple of them with coffee for my breakfast. While I generally prefer a savory breakfast such as steak and eggs or egg muffins, I do find that these tasty muffins are very satiating and can keep me full for several hours....
Simply mix them in a bowl or a mug, microwave for 1.5 minutes, and breakfast is done! This recipe is so easy to make, it’s ridiculous. It’s not that scrambling eggs in a skillet is difficult, mind you. Making fluffy scrambled eggs is in fact quite easy. But cooking eggs in the microwave takes “easy breakfast” to a whole new level. It’s faster, and there are fewer dishes to wash....
You can make them once a week and freeze them for easy weekday breakfasts, then defrost them in the microwave. Weekend pancakes are a beloved tradition in our family. Everyone gathers around the kitchen island. I stand by the stove, cooking the pancakes, and as soon as one is ready, I hand it over to a family member. Needless to say, I get to eat the “chef’s bonus” - the misshapen ones, those that are overcooked or slightly undercooked....
You can even make them ahead of time and refrigerate them, making weekday breakfasts a breeze! I always loved crepes. I love their light texture and how you can fill them with delicious fillings. When I was a kid, my dad used to make pannenkoeken, which are essentially thick Dutch crepes. I loved those too! Ingredients You’ll only need four simple ingredients to make these tasty keto crepes. The exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below....
It’s such an easy method, and you’ll be rewarded with perfectly cooked eggs - creamy whites and thick, luscious yolks. I’ve always loved soft-boiled eggs, but cooking them perfectly seems so elusive. The goal: delicate, fully cooked but still soft egg white, enveloping a warm, creamy, thick-yet-runny yolk. Ingredients You can add more seasonings if you’d like - see the discussion below under “Variations.” But typically, all I use is salt and pepper, allowing the flavorful creamy yolks to be the stars of the show....
The chicken strips come out crispy, juicy, and delicious. And this easy recipe is ready in just 30 minutes! These chicken tenders are so good! They are wonderfully crispy and flavorful. My kids love them and always ask for seconds when I make them. They are quite close in texture to tenders breaded with panko breadcrumbs. Nice and crunchy. The main advantage of coating chicken tenders with crushed pork rinds is that the pork rinds themselves are very flavorful - more so than breadcrumbs....
They make a wonderful side dish for meats and fish, and leftovers keep well in the fridge for several days. My mother-in-law makes an amazing quiche with leeks. That’s how I first got acquainted with this very interesting vegetable. It looks like a huge green onion, and it has an onion-like flavor, but it’s milder, making it appropriate as a side dish and not just as a condiment. The best thing about roasting leeks in the oven is that baking them mellows their onion flavor, caramelizes them, and brings out their natural sweetness....
I like serving this saucy dish over cauliflower rice. Leftovers are really good too, so even if I make this dish for just my husband and me, I make the whole thing and save the leftovers for the next day. So when you combine these two - shrimp AND a stir-fry recipe, truly, what’s not to like? It’s one of the recipes that I make regularly for my family. Everyone likes it - yes, even The Picky Eater....
While often served in a hamburger bun, it’s just as good when served in lettuce wraps! This recipe was inspired by two of my family’s favorite dinners - pulled pork and pulled chicken. Looking at the chuck roast in my fridge one morning, I thought to myself, why not try the same concept with beef? Combine the meat with homemade barbecue sauce and let them cook away in the slow cooker....
Simply buttered and sprinkled with parmesan cheese, they are absolutely delicious! When my husband and I embarked on a low-carb diet back in 2011, I immediately started looking for recipes to replace our favorite foods. Not surprisingly, a pasta substitute was high on the list! 🍝 There are several low-carb alternatives to traditional pasta, such as zucchini noodles and spaghetti squash. Shirataki noodles are certainly another option. When cooked properly and buttered, they are very tasty!...
The secret to working with coconut flour is to add enough eggs and liquids. Read on to learn how I do it! Cooking and baking with flour alternatives is always a challenge. But over the years, I’ve developed quite a few recipes that I consider nearly as good (or sometimes just as good) as the original. This is one of them. These pancakes are fluffy, tender, and very tasty. They’re appropriate even for someone who isn’t fond of coconut because the coconut flavor is very faint, especially once they’re topped with butter and syrup....
As long as you use ground thighs and add a creamy ingredient such as mayonnaise, your burgers will be nice and juicy. I have many beef burger recipes on this website (these baked hamburgers are a big hit with readers), and I make them quite often for my family. But sometimes I feel like making something a little different. Beef is great, but even if you love it, variation is, after all, the spice of life!...
An easy 20-minute recipe, this is a dinner that everyone in the family is going to love! I love pork chops. They are filling, flavorful, and very affordable. Simple baked pork chops are excellent, and that’s my default recipe. But when I’m willing to make just a little more effort in the kitchen, I treat my family to these very flavorful keto-fried pork chops. They are coated in pork rind “breadcrumbs,” then fried in olive oil until wonderfully golden and crispy....
Ready in just 30 minutes and using simple everyday ingredients, this easy keto recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner. Canned tuna is one of my favorite ingredients. It’s tasty, filling, and very affordable. And just as important - I always have it on hand, making it the natural choice when the fridge is otherwise bare. I use it to make tuna cakes and tuna salad. I also use it to make this tuna casserole....
Ready in just 20 minutes, this simple recipe requires only 7 ingredients, making it an ideal choice for a weeknight dinner. I make green bean recipes quite often. We all like them (even the picky eater!), so I try to vary the recipes I make. This recipe is a lovely variation of the basic sauteed green beans. Although I must admit that with all these tasty variations, my favorite way to make them is still the simplest - boiled green beans....
Ready in just 30 minutes, they make a wonderful snack, a tasty side dish, or even a main course accompanied by a simple tossed salad. After transitioning to a low-carb diet, I was mourning some of my favorite foods, including pizza. It took me a while to figure out that although the crust is no doubt delicious, what makes pizza so great is actually the things you put on top of it....
They’re superb when freshly baked, but leftovers are good too. You can keep them in the fridge or freeze them. These scones are amazing. I gave one of them to my teenage daughter and she just couldn’t believe they were made with almond flour. “But they taste just like real ones!” she said, eyes wide open. Why yes, my dear. Almond flour baked goods are wonderful! Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make these delicious keto scones....
