Keto Recipes, Reviews, and Tips
I was never a fan of potato skins pre-keto, but when I spotted some on a neighboring table at a restaurant the other day, they looked super appetizing. Maybe it was the cheese and bacon? It was probably the cheese and bacon. I came home wanting to make a low carb potato skin replacement, and ended up with these loaded […]

I love a good keto slaw recipe, especially as the weather heats up! It’s a great summer side, since you can usually avoid turning on the stove or oven to make one. This low carb “red, white, and bleu” slaw gets its name from the key ingredients: red cabbage, white cabbage, and blue cheese. Diced bacon adds some extra flavor, […]

Additions like buttery sauces, cheesy toppings, and even bacon can be a great way to add some fat to a veggie side dish that might otherwise be a little on the lean side. Unfortunately, there are plenty of keto seafood recipes and other main dishes that don’t necessarily mesh well with the rich flavors of those ingredients. Although I love […]

Zucchini is like cauliflower in that being keto leads to discovering all kinds of ways to use it than simply roasting or steaming. Of course, transforming veggies into more interesting keto side dishes isn’t always as easy as other people make it sound…I still remember my first attempt at keto “zucchini chips” based on some post that suggested microwaving sliced […]

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that I’m a big fan of Taco Tuesday. I mix it up with different fillings and toppings, but I will almost never miss the opportunity to enjoy an easy dinner of taco seasoned meat in some kind of wrap or container.

My keto broccoli salad has quickly become a side dish of choice whenever I’m putting steaks or burgers on the grill, but the bacon and blue […]

Cauliflower has really grown on me since going keto, in part because of its low carb content but also because of how versatile it is. 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 […]

Spinach has always been one of my favorite vegetables, and since keto means that I no longer have to run at the sight of added butter, cheese, or cream with my veggies, it’s only gotten better. Historically, my keto “creamed spinach” has consisted of spinach, butter, cream, and whatever suitable cheese I had on hand. I’ve used everything from mozzarella to […]
