You can make them in advance and refrigerate them - they’re excellent when quickly reheated in the microwave or even cold. I really enjoy having eggs for breakfast. I find that an egg-based breakfast (such as this hearty chorizo omelet) is more satiating than a breakfast based on baked goods, even low-carb ones. These egg white muffins are so delicious and super filling! They’re one of my favorite breakfasts, they’re very easy to make and they are the perfect solution when I make a recipe that leaves me with unused egg whites....

This bread also freezes well, so sometimes I make two loaves, keep one in the fridge, and freeze the other one for later. This bread is incredible. It is light and fluffy and so very flavorful. As it bakes, it fills your kitchen with the most amazing aroma of pumpkin and cinnamon. It’s one of my favorite breakfasts this time of year, so I’m grateful that it’s so easy to make - simply mix everything in one bowl, transfer to the pan, and bake!...

They are ready in just under an hour, and they keep well in the fridge for several days. These decadent truffles are one of my favorite keto desserts. They are amazingly rich and chocolatey, low in carbs, and high in fat. Truffles are by far my favorite indulgence. So when my husband and I started eating a low-carb diet, I was on the lookout for a good reliable keto alternative....

Once seasoned, they are baked in the oven, then finished under the broiler. The result: juicy and flavorful kabobs that everyone will love! Admittedly, grilling is the natural method for preparing kabobs. I do have this excellent recipe for grilled chicken skewers and I make them often in the summer. But if you don’t own a grill, or if it happens to be raining (or snowing!) outside, you can absolutely make chicken kabobs in the oven and enjoy a juicy and flavorful meal without ever firing up the grill....

While it won’t crisp up the way pork bacon does, its thick chewiness is actually quite pleasing, and its unique flavor is a nice change from the bacon we’re all used to. I adore bacon. It’s one of my favorite foods and I love it so much that I sometimes have it for lunch or dinner - why limit it to just breakfast? Since I make it quite often, I’ve learned several ways of making it....

While the recipe as written is not low-carb, you can easily make it low-carb by slightly changing the ingredients and portion size. These peppers are wonderful. They are hearty and bursting with flavor. The combination of peppers, onions, garlic, and spices is phenomenal. It’s also such a pretty and colorful dish. But I love making this recipe not just because it is so delicious. This recipe also evokes strong childhood memories for me....

It’s a summer staple and I make it at least once a week. It goes with many different main dishes, including meat, chicken, and fish. I love making salads in the summer. Whether main-dish salads such as a chicken cobb salad or side salads such as a creamy cucumber salad, they are tasty and fresh and save you from heating up the oven. This simple and quick tomato salad is the side dish I make most frequently in the summer....

I like to make a big batch and enjoy it over the course of a few days. It’s perfect for lunch or as a light weeknight dinner. This salad is so good! The dressing, based on sesame oil and soy sauce with a hint of garlic and ginger, is phenomenal. I also love the crunch that the shredded cabbage provides. One of the main advantages of this Chinese chicken salad is that you make it in advance....

They’ll emerge from the oven browned and gorgeous, with wonderfully crispy skin and succulent meat. A true delicacy! Chicken thighs - tender, Juicy, and very flavorful, are my second-favorite chicken part. The favorite is chicken wings, which happen to have the perfect ratio of skin to meat. 😍 Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients when baking chicken thighs. The exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below....

The result, creamy and delicate, is well worth the slight effort. It’s one of my favorite ways to cook eggs! Fried eggs and soft-boiled eggs are excellent. But poaching is a gentle cooking method that results in an especially creamy texture and a delicate flavor. I love eggs in pretty much any way you can make them. But as someone who loves runny yolks, poached eggs are my favorite way to enjoy this tasty, versatile food....

It goes perfectly with cut-up veggies, cheese crisps, or plain pork rinds. And it keeps well in the fridge for several days. I happen to really like fresh-cut vegetables. I like them raw, just as they are, or maybe with a sprinkle of salt. But sometimes having a tasty dip for them is nice. My kids certainly prefer to eat raw veggies with a dip. This wonderfully flavorful Greek yogurt dip is so creamy....

You can add mustard, mayo, cheese and veggies in between the layers, or just a slice of cheese for the simplest version. Either way, I suspect you won’t miss the bun. I used to love bread, but now I consider it as an unnecessary filler (Though I still have several good recipes for keto bread). I’d much rather have an extra delicious beef patty than have just one patty sandwiched in bread!...

It’s an easy recipe, too, ready in about 30 minutes, making it appropriate for a quick weeknight meal. As a mom, chicken tenders are one of the dishes I make quite often. After all, most kids love them. And when you become a parent, you quickly learn that the best strategy is to find recipes that both the kids and the grownups will appreciate. That’s why I really like these keto parmesan chicken tenders....

It’s easy to make this 40-minute recipe when you use pre-cubed squash, which is widely available in supermarkets. Butternut squash is the perfect alternative to potatoes or sweet potatoes. When baked in olive oil it’s just wonderful - crispy and caramelized on the outside, soft and creamy on the inside. This is one of my favorite side dishes to make this time of year (mashed butternut squash is another good one)....

Served over cauliflower rice, spinach or arugula, it makes a quick and tasty weeknight dinner. I have quite a few shrimp recipes on this website. I often opt for baking shrimp in the oven because it’s so easy. But in terms of flavor, this one is a clear winner. It’s one of the recipes that I make most often because it’s always such a big hit. It’s the simplest recipe - shrimp cooked with garlic, butter, and lemon juice - and it’s ready super fast....

It’s wonderful with or without frosting, and when served without frosting, it’s perfect for breakfast or as a snack cake. Nut flour cakes are often dense and heavy, but this one is light and fluffy. It’s delicious, and why wouldn’t it be, with all that nutty goodness and honey sweetness! 🍰 Despite containing just a ½ cup of honey, this cake is delightfully sweet - but not overly so. So it’s perfectly acceptable (I think…) to occasionally have it for breakfast....

You’ll only need 8 ingredients to make it, and it keeps well for several days in the fridge and for several months in the freezer. This wonderful cake is dedicated to my beloved Oma (grandma in Dutch), who was an amazing baker. I miss her buttery baked goods, and I’m doing my best to recreate some of them, albeit keeping them sugar-free and low-carb. A tall order, for sure. Several of my baked goods were inspired by oma....

The tasty sauce is made with soy sauce, garlic, honey, and sriracha. The entire dish is ready in about 30 minutes. The best thing about stir-frys is how quick they cook, and how wonderfully crisp the vegetables are. The combination of a succulent protein component, crisp veggies, and a flavorful sauce is simply wonderful. This chicken vegetable stir-fry is one of the Chinese-style dishes I make most often for my family....

You simply coat the chicken pieces with a mixture of olive oil and spices, then bake them for about 40 minutes. So juicy! Anyone who has kids knows that they love drumsticks. And anyone who has kids also knows that when the kids like something, the grownups find themselves eating that something over and over again. 🙄 It’s OK. You make sacrifices as a parent. But your food needn’t be one of them!...

They are well-seasoned, mildly spicy, creamy, and delicious! And since they’re ready in just 20 minutes, it’s easy to whip them up anytime. I make these eggs with Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. This substitution works very well - they are wonderfully creamy and delicious. In fact, they are one of my favorite keto appetizers. Deviled eggs are amazing. It’s like magic - simply removing the yolks and mixing them with something creamy plus a few spices transforms the humble hard-boiled egg into a true delicacy....
