Chicken salad is one of the best keto staples. With the right ingredients, it checks all the boxes for a perfect keto-friendly meal: satisfying, delicious, healthy, convenient, and versatile. Another make-ahead salad for your lunch rotation is our keto Nicoise salad jar, which layers tuna, green beans, and olives with cauliflower rice for an easy meal-prep option. The only problem is that all chicken salads aren’t made the same. Some are too rich, some have too much vinegar, and others come ...

Exercise more, and you'll have better health. Follow the ketogenic diet, and you'll lose weight rapidly and take your health to the next level. But what happens when you combine the two?

Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl (Crack Slaw)
August 27, 2020 by Leave a Comment
Egg rolls are delicious. They're crispy, packed full of flavor, and easy to eat, but they are far from being keto-friendly. At first, I thought it would be impossible to emulate an egg roll on keto. However, when I took the first bite of this egg roll in a bowl (AKA crack slaw), I forgot all about the wrapper. Now, whenever the craving hits, I know I can whip up a keto egg roll in a bowl in half the time it takes to get takeout. Are Egg Rolls Keto? Egg rolls are not keto-friendly. They ...

Sesame Almond Zoodle Bowl
January 11, 2018 by 7 Comments
The sesame almond zoodle bowl is the perfect vehicle for this amazing sauce. Peanut sauce has been one of my favorite dipping and drizzling sauces for everything from low carb egg rolls to an overflowing bowl of stir fry veggies. Sadly, I’ve recently begun reducing my peanut intake. I’ve been focusing on more recipes that incorporate keto friendly nuts and nut butters like cashews and almonds and I have fallen in love! Swapping traditional peanut butter with almond butter for this sweet ...

Asian Grilled Keto Short Ribs
July 17, 2015 by 7 Comments
As most of you know, I'm a huge fan of Asian food and flavors. Surprisingly, I've never had flanken cut short ribs (most familiar with the Korean style short ribs). I found them in the supermarket a few weeks back and grabbed some to try. I have to tell you - they are well worth it! They're not too expensive, they're extremely tender and delicious, and best of all - packed full of fats. I didn't have any Kimchi on hand, so I served with some purple cabbage, cilantro and a soy/vinegar ...

In contrast, monounsaturated fats contain only one carbon-carbon double bond while saturated fats contain no carbon-carbon double bonds. Fatty acids generally have two ends: a carboxylic acid, which ...

Crab Cake Stuffed Mushrooms
September 25, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Crab cakes were always one of my favorite treats when dining out! Loaded with crab meat and fried to perfection, these meaty medallions were an indulgence that I wrote off after becoming low carb. Luckily, they are so easy to replicate and make keto friendly! What I love most about this recipe is that each stuffed mushroom is nearly an entire meal. Portion control, especially with a crab cake, can be tough. The mushroom cap is the perfect way to feel “full” while holding all the glorious ...
