There’s nothing quite as versatile as a good impossible quiche. You can eat it at any time of the day, by itself or with some easy sides. It stores well in the fridge for a few days and can be frozen for later if you can’t eat it all that quickly. I’ve purposely kept this crustless quiche bare bones - just ham and cheese. You can, of course, add in some veggies or mix it up with some bacon....
Whether you slather it in peanut butter or run it through the juicer, celery is a cornerstone of traditional “healthy” snacking. But when you’re counting carbs on keto, all vegetables are suspect — even the ones that seem like quality choices. So, is celery keto? Does celery have carbs, even? We’ll talk about carbs in celery here (several kinds!) plus delicious ways to enjoy it on a low carb diet....
Milk is considered a key component in many diets, but is milk keto friendly? Let’s talk about whether milk fits into a keto diet, the amount of carbs in milk, keto diet milk alternatives, and how to include the flavor and texture of milk into keto recipes. You can also learn more about how to start a keto diet here, and calculate how many carbs to eat in a day with the keto macro calculator....
Soy sauce: It’s an easy way to add flavor to any simple dish (even cauliflower rice – because plain rice is not keto!). Is soy sauce keto, though? Let’s take a deep dive into soy sauce on keto, including carbs in soy sauce, keto friendly soy sauce options, and more. Need a quick reference for more keto foods? This gigantic keto food list is a great place to start....
Think you don’t like kale in any circumstance, regardless of the toppings or dressing? WELL, thanks to an easy but game-changing prep tip, you’ll be delighted to find yourself enjoying this salad’s roaringly “green” ingredients too. Unlike chewy or even bitter kale and Brussels sprouts salads you’ve had before, the vegetables here are mild and tender. The transformation comes from massaging the kale and thinly slicing the Brussels sprouts. It’s a minor step that makes all the difference....
Low carb or not, everyone loves this keto big mac casserole recipe! And what’s not to love? Layers of roasted zucchini, seasoned ground beef, plenty of cheese and keto thousand island dressing, and of course, fresh toppings. Tastes just like your favorite burger… without the carbs.

I first made this easy 3 ingredient cloud bread recipe about 5 years ago, and while I’ve since made lots of other keto bread recipes, I still make this one regularly — it’s so easy, fluffy, and light. Whether you call it keto cloud bread or oopsie bread or oopsie rolls, these are all names for this same delicious low carb bread. Another huge plus is you’ll only need common ingredients you probably have on hand, which is super convenient....
This easy keto shepherd’s pie recipe lowers the carbs with one of my favorite keto friendly carb replacements: cauliflower! Instead of a mashed potato layer on top, this is a cauliflower shepherd’s pie – all the flavors, without all the carbs. It’s a pretty great swap and I doubt anyone will even realize this is a low carb healthy shepherd’s pie. It’s perfectly cozy and comforting for fall and winter meals....
I find that many modern BBQ recipes place a lot of emphasis on special sauces, special ingredients or ludicrously lengthy lists of spices. Sometimes those recipes reward you handsomely, sometimes not so much. As for me, I like simple recipes and the recipes that provide clean and balanced flavors. I think simple recipes come to perfection the closest, like this recipe for grilled chicken legs that I created in an effort to find a very quick but very tasty grilled chicken leg recipe....
No need to skip the buns, thanks to this low carb keto hamburger buns recipe! Bunless burgers are great, but let’s face it, they are better with a bun. That’s where these keto burger buns come in. They’re soft and chewy at the same time, and take just 10 minutes to prep. Perfect for everyone at the cookout. Try these keto low carb buns, you’re going to love them! This low carb burger buns recipe was originally published on June 28, 2017, and the post was republished in August 2020 to add process pictures and useful tips....
Or everybody else’s main concern right now is also what are you going to serve with your Margaritas? ? I just love that there is a holiday dedicated to Mexican food, which I simply adore. True, it is a holiday that is mostly celebrated in the US, but who cares? You have the excuse to stuff your pants with delicious food and drink all the Margaritas in the world, so I guarantee that the last thought in your mind will be “This holiday should be celebrated on September 16 (which is Mexican independence day)!...
Homemade bread is one of my passions. After you try these Brazilian rolls, make sure to also check out my Fluffy Brioche Buns, Mediterranean Black Olive Bread, French Baguettes and Honey Oat Bread. Phew! I can’t tell you what a relief it is to finally post this recipe. I get requests for it daily, and I was eager to get it done for y’all! I have been working on perfecting it for the past year or so....
This recipe is sponsored by DeLallo If you are hosting a party or like to plan ahead for the holidays, puff pastry is going to be your BFF. Recipes made with it freeze and reheat like a dream. It’s why every year, I add a new puff pastry appetizer recipe to my repertoire, like these Ham and Cheese Pinwheels, these Spinach Puffs, and these Cranberry Brie Bites. I even ventured into puff pastry breakfast recipes with these Puff Pastry Cinnamon Rolls....
Happy Halloween Week, everyone! What are you going to be for Halloween this year? I will be working on Friday, but since I’m bartending at Wicked this week, I think I’ll wear a witch hat or something! Lola also has a cute costume to wear this year. I mean, if she manages to not destroy it in 10 minutes. But let’s talk about food, shall we? Today I’m here to share with you a recipe for Pumpkin (and Coconut) Brigadeiros....
I also really love brown bagging. During my four years working at Target’s corporate headquarters in Minneapolis, I packed my lunch almost every single day, despite the fact that the office has a stellar cafeteria and was within walking distance of every fast food destination you can imagine. The less-than-glamorous truth is, while I look forward to going out for date night dinners and happy hours, lunch is a meal that I’ve always preferred to prepare for myself, even when it meant carrying it in a lunch box....
S’mores! They are everywhere right now. All over the Internet, tempting us mere mortals that don’t have a camp fire/fire pit/any kind of fire, really. The word s’more is believed to be a contraction of the phrase “some more”. Very fitting, I think, since I’m always wanting some more of it! :P
Sometimes the simple meals and recipes taste just as good as the complex ones, don’t you think? Take this sauteed broccoli with garlic, for example. It’s incredibly easy, and just 3 ingredients, but SO good, even though it’s SO simple. I love serving this sauteed broccoli recipe as a side for a low carb dinner, or as part of a meal prep lunch. The pan fried broccoli recipe is easily adapted to any type of cuisine… meaning there’s never a bad time for broccoli stir fry!...
I might actually pour myself two blackberry margaritas, because until 1:30 p.m. yesterday when an astute follower (hi, Ashley!) messaged me on Instagram to regretfully inform me that I’d put up my #FBF post a day early, I was solidly convinced that it was Friday. The caption now reads #TBT instead. Shhhhhh. Skinny Blackberry Margarita – Make Any Day Feel Like Friday Whatever your calendar is telling you, this skinny blackberry margarita recipe wants you to know that it is perfectly acceptable to pretend that it’s Friday, even if only for one drink....
A friend introduced me to kani salad at a Japanese restaurant many years ago. My choices there are usually limited, since I avoid rice for multiple reasons and don’t care for the typical semi-wilted Japanese salad usually offered. (Maybe I just haven’t had luck with getting fresh salads at these places?) Anyway, the salad was amazing, but unfortunately, I later found out that the imitation crab sticks used in almost every spicy kani salad recipe is not gluten-free and has added sugar....
I grew up eating my Grammy’s strawberry shortcake. Every Fourth of July, she adds blueberries to make it red, white, and blue (my idea of patriotism), but spoiled privileged granddaughter that I was, I would often request strawberry shortcake on other occasions (it was Tuesday, for example), and my too-generous Grammy would oblige. Strawberry shortcake dates back more than 100 years, and as with any dish that has been around for a while, it has developed many iterations—some make it with pound cake, others angel food cake, and still others biscuits, to name a few....
