Blue Cheese and Bacon Zoodle Salad

Blue Cheese and Bacon Zoodle Salad

March 19, 2026 by Leave a Comment

This Blue Cheese and Bacon Zoodle Salad is a refreshing and incredibly satisfying lunch option that perfectly balances bold, savory flavors with a crisp, cooling texture. By using spiralized zucchini as a base instead of traditional pasta, you get a light and crunchy foundation that pairs beautifully with the creamy richness of blue cheese dressing and the salty, smoky bite of crumbled bacon. The addition of fresh spinach adds a boost of nutrients and a mild earthiness, while a generous crack of ...

The Best & Worst Keto Oils for Cooking, Drizzling, and What to Avoid

The Best & Worst Keto Oils for Cooking, Drizzling, and What to Avoid

January 22, 2020 by 8 Comments

All plant-based oils have zero carbs and protein, making them the purest source of fat you can have on the keto diet. However, this doesn’t mean that everything in the cooking oil aisle can be considered as a good "keto oil" for your low-carb lifestyle. Though you can lose fat on keto regardless of what fats you consume, the oils you use will play a crucial role in ensuring optimal health, wellbeing, and sustained ketosis. Since fat will be your primary source of energy, choosing the right ...

Keto Guide to Intermittent Fasting

Keto Guide to Intermittent Fasting

December 31, 2013 by 79 Comments

Intermittent fasting has become an immensely popular dieting strategy. Although it may seem like another diet fad, there are several reasons why skipping meals can be so helpful for many of us. The first (and biggest for most) is that intermittent fasting can help you bust through weight loss plateaus. Down to those last couple of pounds, or been stuck at the same number for weeks? Give this a try. The other reasons are for the sheer health benefits of fasting. Better metabolic adaptions, ...

Foods to Avoid on a Ketogenic Diet: What is Keto-friendly?

Foods to Avoid on a Ketogenic Diet: What is Keto-friendly?

October 14, 2018 by 4 Comments

“Is this keto-friendly?” “Can I eat this on keto?” Questions like these are asked on keto diet forums and Facebook groups multiple times a day without a definitive answer. The line between what we should eat and avoid to sustain ketosis gets blurred after we cut out the obvious high-carb foods. To truly figure out what is keto-friendly and what we shouldn’t eat on keto, we must have: (1) a general understanding of foods that are keto-friendly and foods that will almost always kick us ...

Chimichurri Chicken Salad

Chimichurri Chicken Salad

December 18, 2018 by Leave a Comment

This South American fusion dish is a festive meal for kids and adults. It’s an explosion of flavor and textures with spices, creamy avocado, greens, and chicken. You can use the chimichurri sauce as a salad dressing or sauté the chicken with it. This recipe has minimal prep time; the most time-consuming part will be peeling and cubing the avocado (I don’t know about you, but for me, it’s on par with folding a fitted sheet!) The chopped oregano and chili flakes can be substituted for dried and ...

Spinach Watercress Keto Salad

Spinach Watercress Keto Salad

August 24, 2017 by 3 Comments

A keto salad doesn't always have to have twelve different toppings or a long list of ingredients to be delicious, satisfying and nutrient dense! Sometimes the simplest of recipes can be a staple meal or an easy side to add with your favorite entrée. This salad is packed with healthy fats and can be altered slightly to meet any of your flavor preferences. You can try Asiago in place of Parmesan cheese, or baby kale or arugula in place of spinach. The key to making a fat burning salad is to ...

Creamy Shrimp Salad

Creamy Shrimp Salad

April 4, 2019 by Leave a Comment

A quick and easy shrimp salad that’s perfect for warmer weather. The dill adds a refreshing taste and the crunchy texture of the lettuce works well with the mayonnaise dressing. This delicious salad is stuffed with both fat and protein while having just a few carbs per serving. In this salad, I used Boston lettuce (also known as butterhead or bibb), but romaine would work as well! I would avoid lettuce like iceberg, just because it may be too difficult to eat. I also used pre-cooked and ...

Keto Sub Sandwich Casserole

Keto Sub Sandwich Casserole

May 21, 2019 by 8 Comments

This restaurant copycat recipe takes inspiration from sub-style sandwiches to create a hot and cheesy casserole. I’m using ham and Swiss cheese, but you can use any combination of meat and cheese that you like to create your own special versions! Salami and mozzarella, or turkey and provolone would be great too. Serve this up on some lettuce for that true restaurant-style experience. Yields 4 servings of Keto Sub Sandwich Casserole The Preparation 8 ounces deli-sliced black forest ham 8 ...
