Baked eggplant mixed into ham and egg, then smothered in freshly made hollandaise sauce. This twist on the classic breakfast uses spongey eggplant as a stand-in for English muffins, but if that's not your thing then feel free to substitute zucchini. It seems like an overly decadent breakfast but it's packed full of vegetable, and uses a lot of ingredients you probably have in your kitchen already. This hollandaise is lemony and smooth, but the secret's in the vinegar. There's a lot of ...

Eggplant is a surprisingly hearty vegetable that can make a great substitute for meat or noodles. This recipe for baked eggplant Parmesan is gooey, cheesy, comfort food at its best. The eggplant gets a crispy coating, topped with a generous serving of spicy tomato sauce and cheese. What could be better?

Keto Faux Sous Vide Egg Bites
I've been seeing these egg bites frequent the internet quite a lot lately. They're delicious, they're portable, and they're now keto friendly! That's right, these little breakfast morsels are inspired by Starbucks' Sous Vide Egg Bites. The biggest problem I had with the original recipe is that you need a sous vide machine. While they're an amazing piece of equipment to have around the house - most people don't. And, they're over $130 for a decent one! Plus, the original recipe takes over an ...

Creamy Butter Shrimp
Asian and Indian style dishes are a staple in this house, as both of us have a long-standing weakness for Chinese takeout and Indian buffets. So, an Asian/Indian spin on a keto recipe is always a welcome addition to our recipe rotations, and this one is definitely a new favorite! I grabbed this recipe from my friend Hazim. Originally called Buttermilk Shrimp in his home country of Brunei, this was a dish that was served in resturants everywhere. He's worked hard to transform this dish into a ...

Lemon Poppy Seed Cake with Blackberry Buttercream
There's nothing more I hate than getting super excited about a cake recipe I see online and then scrolling down to the nutrition information. My heart stops for a minute when I see the macros: "150 calories and 2g net carb for a slice?" When it's too good to be true, it usually is. I'm not in the business of mucking with my macros and breaking things into 24 or 30 slices, I'm in the business of enjoying the food. This cake will make 8 slices - each slice being 4.7g net carbs and filled with ...
