When people are new to the ketogenic diet, they often wonder what type of foods they should and could eat while restricting carbs. Although we do have an in-depth ketogenic food list, it doesn’t cover everything and doesn’t include all of the keto-friendly replacements and recipes that are most commonly asked about.

Bacon Roasted Chicken with Pan Gravy
Nothing says cooler weather than a roasted chicken. Since we're on a keto diet, we get to wrap this guy in bacon, too! It's slightly zesty and full of citrus flavor which gives a fantastic balance to the rich and hearty gravy we make with the pan drippings. If you need a way to get some extra fats in on the side, I'd highly recommend the Keto Brussels Sprouts Au Gratin that I posted yesterday. They're great and would pair well with this dish. You normally see bacon wrapped around birds ...

Butter Paneer Chicken Curry
I've always been a lover of curry, but this one really had me excited about trying something new. I rarely experiment with new flavors anymore, but this was the first time I was trying paneer. It is fantastic! If I had to describe paneer, I'd say it's very creamy and rich, and really added a good texture to the curry. If you have the wiggle room, you can add an onion to this - I have done it before and it adds a nice sweet note to it, along with a texture boost. Photos courtesy ...

Keto Pumpkin Pie Fat Bombs
Fat bombs are one of the best keto hacks. These fat-filled treats are used by thousands of keto dieters to meet their fat needs, boost their energy levels, and satisfy their nagging cravings.

Keto Chicken Thighs – 10 Recipes and 4 Essential Rules
It is hard not to like chicken thighs. Despite being one of the cheapest meats, they are packed with more flavor and healthy fats than costlier cuts like chicken breast. Surprisingly enough, the benefits of chicken thighs only increase as the cost goes down. By opting for bone-in, skin-on thighs — instead of the more expensive boneless, skinless option — you can reap the benefits of collagen and bone broth without having to pay extra for keto supplements. To help you get the most out of ...

This nacho steak skillet features roasted cauliflower, thin sliced steak, cheese, and lots of fun nacho toppings. I think this qualifies as keto comfort food!

Another option for this recipe is to leave the cauliflower on the sheet pan and just top everything there. I like the presentation of the skillet, but it's really up to you. If you don't like spicy foods then be sure to skip the ...
