This is a naturally keto cabbage and sausage, made with high quality andouille sausage and cajun seasoning for the best flavor… making it a veggie, protein, and flavor packed meal in one pan....

Frying full chicken breasts is usually a problem because lean breasts tend to dry out by the time they cook all the way through. This results in a dry, chalky texture that no one likes. Thankfully, I just discovered a method that allows frying full breasts in a matter of minutes and the meat comes out exceptionally tasty, tender and juicy. What makes this fried chicken breast so special? There are three things that work together in this recipe to create an amazingly tender and juicy fried chicken breast....

This easy garlic parmesan crusted salmon is a great example of quick and simple salmon dinners that we eat regularly around here!...

Tzatziki, or “tsah-see-key”, is a Greek cucumber yoghurt dip. It’s usually one of the first things I order when I eat at a Greek restaurant. I love to dip copious amounts of pita bread into it and of course, the more inside my lamb gyros the better. I’m almost ashamed to say that until recently I’d never tried to make my own. I was under the assumption that it would be quite difficult....

Grown-ups and kids alike can rejoice over this easy grilled chicken recipe! Along with Grilled Chicken Breast and Grilled Chicken Thighs, I unlocked the trick to grilling chicken tenders that boast golden, grill-marked outsides and moist, juicy insides.

You’ll find helpful tips and suggestions for how to serve these easy grilled chicken tenders too....

These easy chocolate muffins are healthy enough to feel good eating for breakfast before 8 a.m. (same with Chocolate Oatmeal!), yet taste indulgent enough to satisfy your sweet tooth at 8 p.m. I’ve been sneaking bites while I warm up my lunch (does that make them an appetizer too?), followed by more bites with my afternoon coffee (clearly, they are snack worthy as well). Even Ben who (and this is one of the great mysteries of our time) usually passes on muffins with chocolate chips has been snitching these healthy muffins....

It’s ultra creamy, packs big chunks of sweet, juicy crab, and the kick of spice at the end will have you reaching back into the dish on repeat. Like my scrumptious Salmon Dip and Feta Dip, this recipe is lightened up with Greek yogurt. The swap is imperceptible, but it makes me feel better about piling a hearty scoop (or two) onto my plate. When it comes to dipping choices, this hot crab dip is versatile and eager to please a myriad of taste buds....

When it comes to keto vegetables, the green ones tend to have the lowest carbs (just look at zucchini, broccoli, and cabbage!) — but where does asparagus fit in a low carb diet? Is asparagus keto? Let’s go over the answer here, along with carbs in asparagus and keto asparagus dishes to enjoy the fresh flavor of this veggie. For more keto food help, take a look at this comprehensive low carb food list or printable keto cheat sheets....

Yes, I shared my blog recipe leftovers with our plumber. He ate his serving on the spot, then asked me to print the recipe for his wife. Also, did you know that plumbers install new gaslines? It’s one of the many fun facts I’ve learned since becoming a new-ish homeowner. I can’t say for certain that every home service provider will be as smitten with this Italian breakfast bowl as our guy was, but he did give us an extremely reasonable price....

This Italian sausage kale soup recipe is comfort food in a bowl! With its creamy broth loaded with plenty of Italian sausage and kale, it’s healthy and oh-so-delicious. And while it just happens to be a keto kale soup (and one of my new favorite keto soup recipes!), it’s also hearty and super flavorful for anyone to enjoy. This easy sausage soup is rich enough to be a one-pot meal all on its own, but you can also try pairing it with your favorite salad or even some keto biscuits....

They are crispy, crunchy, golden brown and seasoned with olive oil, Italian seasoning, and garlic. They are delicious on salads, but also for snacking! There are plenty of ways to use these keto-friendly croutons, but my favorite is over salad greens with a few veggies and either keto Caesar dressing, keto ranch dressing, or creamy balsamic dressing....

Lentil soup starts with aromatic vegetables and herbs at its base, slowly sautéed to build up complex flavor. Broth and lentils marry in creating a pot of hug-you-from-the-inside bliss. While it perhaps sounds simple and is not the most photogenic, this traditional lentil soup recipe tastes phenomenal AND it’s good for you. I have cooked and served lentil soup to many friends who all raved, and it’s one of my go-to weeknight dinners....

Nothing says spring like a delicious Mango Lassi! This popular yogurt-based Indian drink is like a mango milkshake that you can have for breakfast. My first Indian recipe ever here on the blog! Can’t deny I’m a little nervous about being adventurous. I’m not very familiar with Indian cuisine and have only attempted to cook it once or twice. But when I recently tried a Mango Lassi for the first time, I thought it seemed easy enough for me to try to make it at home....
