Keto Mixed Green Spring Salad
June 30, 2015 by 3 Comments
With spring having just ended and the summer heat quickly approaching, a refreshing and filling salad is something that really fits the bill. A lot of people tend to think that salads are boring, plain, and only really eaten by people on a "diet". I tend to load my salads up, and bring the flavor with it - it's a great vehicle for many different tastes. Plus, the dressing you use is going to be loaded with fats, which means the macros are perfect for keto. Using the 5 Minute Keto Raspberry ...

Crispy Tofu and Bok Choy Salad
March 23, 2015 by 16 Comments
Truth be told, I've never really had the opportunity to try tofu. It's always been on the list of things that seem like they'll be nasty if I tried them, or other people have told me the horror stories connected with it. But, I've got a pretty open mind and loved the idea of giving it a try with my own spin on it. Let me tell you - if you've never had tofu, or think you don't like it...you need to re-try it! Baked tofu is wonderful. Instead of the soft, gooey, flavorless mess that people ...

Maple Shrimp Salad
January 31, 2019 by Leave a Comment
Maple Shrimp Salad is a sweet and savory dish that can be served as an entrée or as a side salad for dinner. It reminds me of warm, slightly saccharine spring nights. The kind where you sit for hours after dinner is served, and bask in the extended daylight hours. For this salad, I used pre-cooked, peeled shrimp with no tails to save on time. There’s not a lot of prep time involved, you will just need to ensure the shrimp is thoroughly cooked before serving; it should be an orange color ...

When trying to incorporate more fresh veggies into your weekly meal plan, salads seem to be a quick and easy item, but it is also easy to get into a salad rut. If you find yourself using the same toppings and the same dressings give this combination a try! Dark leafy greens are the hearty base to stand up to piles of prosciutto and a dose of creamy goat cheese. Not a fan of goat cheese? That’s ok! You could swap for a mild cheese, but I encourage you to give goat cheese a try! It adds a ...
