Briefly marinated in an olive oil mixture, then quickly grilled, it’s the perfect cut for meat lovers! While I enjoy tender cuts of beef such as fillet mignon, ribeye, or New York Strip, I find that the intense beefy flavor of some of the tougher cuts is sometimes even more pleasing. I love grilling a skirt steak because it’s easy and stress-free. As long as you marinate it (just briefly), then cook it quickly over high heat, you’ll be rewarded with meat that might be a bit on the chewy side, but is very, very flavorful....

Ready in about 45 minutes, they are very easy to make. Simply mix everything in one bowl, scoop onto a baking sheet and bake for around 15 minutes. These cookies are incredible. They have this wonderfully tender crumb, and the almond extract adds such an interesting depth of flavor. They are so good, so tender and light, that it’s difficult to believe they’re made with almond flour and no white flour....

It’s such a wonderful side dish. Oven-roasting is one of my favorite ways to make this tasty winter squash! When you think about pumpkin, do you only think about pumpkin pie? If so, you’re missing out! Pumpkin can take on either sweet or savory flavors, and it makes a wonderful, hearty, and satisfying savory side dish, perfect for fall and winter. I actually think I like savory pumpkin dishes better than I like sweet ones....

As long as you follow a few simple instructions, your bacon will come out wonderfully crispy and evenly cooked. And you don’t need a special cooker! This bacon is absolutely amazing. I resisted the idea for a long time, thinking that it can’t possibly be as good as pan-fried or oven bacon. Happily, I was wrong! Using the microwave to cook bacon is just as good as using the oven or a frypan....

This omelet is fluffy and delicious. The addition of veggies greatly enhances it. And it’s ready in just 20 minutes! This fluffy omelet is so easy to make and it tastes so good! It’s quickly become one of my favorite breakfasts. I don’t normally shy away from egg yolks. But sometimes a recipe - such as this baked chocolate custard - calls for yolks only. Then I am left with extra egg whites....

A handful of chocolate chips and vanilla extract add great flavor, but the best thing about them is how very filling they are! Even though I usually prefer an egg or meat-based breakfast, sometimes it’s nice to have a baked good that doesn’t just taste great but also keeps you going for several hours. These protein muffins are delicious! They are light and fluffy and each of them contains 13 grams of protein....

They are so easy to make and they last for several days in the fridge, so I often double the recipe and make twelve of them. These cupcakes are wonderfully fluffy and sweet. The frosting is superb. Even my teenage kids love them. And this is the best compliment a keto baker can hope for! His favorite candy used to be Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. These days, he loves my keto peanut butter bars....

I make it with ultra-dark chocolate (90% cacao) and add just a touch of sweetener, but the added sweetener is completely optional. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has cozy childhood memories of mugs of hot chocolate topped with tiny marshmallows. There’s something incredibly comforting about a hot drink on a cold winter day. So it’s good to know that while the marshmallows are a definite no, enjoying hot chocolate on the keto diet is very much a possibility - and it’s absolutely delicious....

Filled with all the traditional goodies, these tacos are so good. In fact, they’re just as good as traditional ones! When my husband and I started eating a low-carb diet, I was on a mission to find substitutions for all our old favorites. After some experimentation, I am very happy to say that there’s no need to give up yummy tacos! Simply replace the tortilla shell with a crispy cheddar cheese shell....

They’re wonderfully soft and chewy and they keep well for several days (but you’ll probably polish them off way sooner!) I’ve always loved chewy cookies. It’s Ok if the edges are crisp, but as far as I’m concerned, the inside must be chewy, or they’re simply not worth the trouble. These almond flour cookies are a good example. Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make these tasty cookies....

Quickly bake them in the oven, then coat them in the rich sauce. They’re perfect as an appetizer but also work as a filling entree. Meatballs are wonderful. The kids love them, so naturally, I make them often. But grownups enjoy them too - they are simply fun to eat! I have quite a few meatball recipes on this website. My favorites include pork meatballs, keto meatballs, turkey meatballs, and chicken meatballs....

It tastes so much like the real thing and you can hardly taste the cauliflower. It amazes me every single time I make it! Cauliflower is such an amazing vegetable. It makes a wonderful substitute for starchy side dishes. Mashed cauliflower, cauliflower rice, and cauliflower tots are all great examples. You might think that a potato salad made with cauliflower sounds suspicious. I thought so too until I actually tried it!...

This tasty dish is ready in just 20 minutes. You can serve it as is or on top of spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles. This easy shrimp recipe is ready super fast, and its flavor combination is incredibly fresh and flavorful. This is one of my favorite weeknight dinners, and also one of my favorite ways to prepare shrimp. (Another excellent one is baked shrimp). Butter, garlic, white wine, and lemon juice combine into a delicate-yet-flavorful sauce that perfectly complements the mild flavor of shrimp....

It’s also incredibly easy to make, and you can bake it ahead of time and reheat it - the leftovers are really good! This tasty casserole has quickly become one of my favorite breakfasts to make when I invite friends over for brunch. It’s rich, flavorful, and so easy to make. And I can make it in advance and reheat, which is always a plus. Many casseroles are tasty but not very pretty to look at, but this one is actually gorgeous, which is another advantage....

Served over mashed cauliflower and made without flour, this delicious entree is also gluten-free. There’s nothing quite like a hot plate of a rich stew in winter. Flavorful, slow-cooked, tender beef, smothered in thick, rich gravy… it’s the quintessential comfort food. This keto pot roast is probably my favorite beef recipe to make - and eat - in the winter. I make it almost every other week, and we never tire of it....

As is often the case with slow-cooked meat, leftovers are excellent, as long as you reheat them gently. Slow-cooked meat is amazing. It’s such an easy cooking method that yields fabulous results. I especially love these oven-braised boneless short ribs. Rich, fatty, tender beef - a true comfort food! And they are more affordable than ribeye roast, another fatty cut of beef which I also adore. In this easy recipe, I simply place the seasoned ribs in a pan and bake them for three hours at 300 degrees F....

They make a wonderful side dish to almost any main dish you can think of, and the leftovers are very good, reheated or cold. I have quite a few vegetable recipes on this website. I usually skip the starch at dinner and just serve two vegetable sides, so I’m always on the lookout for tasty recipes to vary the veggie rotation. These roasted mini sweet peppers are a very popular side dish in our house....

It’s such an easy recipe to make yet it looks so impressive! Leftovers are good too, so you can make a couple of them to ensure tasty leftovers. Bacon really does make everything better. 🥓 In this particular recipe, it adds juiciness and flavor that the naturally lean pork tenderloin lacks. Wrapping the pork in bacon does more than enhance the flavor. It also ensures that the meat stays nice and juicy....

This tasty treat is ready in just 20 minutes and you can make it in your food processor. You won’t miss the potatoes! Cauliflower is so versatile, and it makes a surprisingly good substitute for potatoes. I use it in quite a few recipes. It has a nearly neutral flavor that readily absorbs fats and seasonings. This cauliflower puree is creamy and so delicious. My husband says he actually prefers it to mashed potatoes, which he finds bland....

The creamy sauce is made with heavy cream, garlic, and parmesan. It’s delicious. Your only task as a chef is to avoid overcooking the dish! I have quite a few fish and seafood recipes on this site, but I am always on the lookout for more interesting recipes. This one is a keeper - it’s so easy to make and it’s delicious. If you happen to have a bag or two of frozen seafood mix in your freezer (mine came from Trader Joe’s), this recipe is a great way to turn them into an easy, delicious meal....
