Broccoli Chicken Zucchini Boats

Broccoli Chicken Zucchini Boats

We've all seen keto stuffed peppers and stuffed jalapenos (of course, making one of my favorites - jalapeño poppers). Now it's time for a stuffed zucchini!

Ham and Cheese Keto Stromboli

Ham and Cheese Keto Stromboli

When you begin a ketogenic diet, entertaining might be one of the worries you have. It's not the easiest task to overcome when you have to serve people food they can enjoy and that you can also eat.

You can think of this as a very large savory danish that you ...

It's practically pre-heating your oven, seasoning some broccoli, and stuffing it in the oven for some fantastic hands-off flavors to develop. It doesn't get much better ...

Keto Broccoli Cheddar Biscuits

Keto Broccoli Cheddar Biscuits

Broccoli is probably my most favorite vegetable out of all the vegetables. It's delicious, nutritious, and it acts as a binder. Cauliflower is a close second, but for me it just doesn't taste as good. You have to actually put effort into getting rid of that pungent smell and taste with cauliflower, with broccoli the taste is welcomed. I'd seen a lot of biscuit recipes circling around lately, so I wanted to try my own spin at some "biscuits". They turned out pretty awesome, nice and crunchy on ...
