Keto Recipes, Reviews, and Tips
I like to keep a few batches of my keto cheese sticks ready to go in the freezer for whenever I have a craving for cheesy, salty, fried goodness, but sometimes I run out and am not in the mood to prep more from scratch. If I have halloumi on hand, though, it barely counts as an inconvenience. Halloumi fries […]

Warmer weather means that it’s time to fire up the grill, which is great since grilling happens to be one of my favorite ways to cook shrimp. Unlike ribs and some other cuts of meat, which can take hours of indirect heat for tender and flavorful results, this keto grilled shrimp recipe only needs a few minutes on the grill. The cilantro […]

A lot of people assume that keto is all red meat all the time, but seafood can fit into a keto lifestyle just as well as the more stereotypical steak or bacon. Salmon is an especially good choice, since it’s a great source of protein as well as omega-3’s and other healthy fats. Another bonus? The compounds that give salmon […]

Whether I have cheese shell tacos, low carb tortillas, or simply lettuce wraps, taco Tuesdays (and, okay, sometimes Thursdays too…) are a pretty regular occurrence for me. Unfortunately, almost all of the major brands of taco seasoning are made with cornstarch, flour, maltodextrin, sugar, and/or other carb-based fillers. Now a couple grams of carbs here or there probably won’t ruin your […]

Because it tends to absorb the flavors of whatever you cook it with, it works just as well in my keto garlic mashed cauliflower recipe as it does in this fresh and flavorful cilantro lime cauliflower rice […]

Between my keto creamed spinach and garlic parmesan mashed cauliflower recipes, I have a few go-to options for hot veggie side dishes. But as the weather (finally!) begins to heat up, I’ve been looking for a way to get some veggies in without having to turn on the stove. Leafy green salads are a safe choice of course, but they aren’t […]

This keto mayo recipe is something that came together out of necessity, but it turned out well enough that I’ve made it more than once. I never used much mayo pre-keto, so I’m not really in the habit of treating it as a pantry staple. When I needed some for a low carb recipe and discovered I was all out […]

Like many varieties of nuts, almonds are low in effective carbs but high in protein and healthy fats, making them a great keto snack. Despite this, plain almonds aren’t necessarily the most exciting thing to eat…and while roasted almonds with savory flavors are relatively easy to find, finding options for sugar free or keto candied almonds or other sweeter varieties in […]

From hot chai lattes in the winter to iced chai tea in the spring and summer, I am a big fan of the warming chai spice blend in drinks and recipes. Finding chai tea bags is easy enough, but if you want to use chai in other ways like in coffee or low carb desserts, it can be a little […]
