I converted from beet skeptic to beet lover, a transition I wholly attribute to roasted beets. Like other root vegetables (Roasted Carrots; Roasted Sweet Potatoes; Parsnip Fries), when beets are roasted in the oven, their natural sugars caramelize and the flavors concentrate, making them tender and subtly sweet. What’s different about beets compared to most root veggies is that they are a pain to prep…or so I thought. As much as I adore Beet Salad, I rarely made it at home, because by the time I finished the beets, my hands, cutting board, and counter all were stained with telltale red juices....

We are usually more of a Roasted Sweet Potatoes house (I adore sweet potatoes so much, I have a special series about creative, healthy ways to top them in my cookbook), but WOW. Some nights, it’s classic white potatoes that hit the spot. While regular Oven Roasted Potatoes certainly satisfy a spud craving, and Grilled Potatoes satisfies that itch for smoky flavored vegetables, something about roasted fingerlings feels special and gourmet....

My mom makes the best lasagna. This is why for years, I didn’t even dare to make one myself, as I was too afraid it wouldn’t hold a candle to hers. When I finally decided to give it a go, I had two choices: ask for her recipe, or try my own. I’m glad I went for the latter option. To my delight (and utmost relief), she was so impressed that she even asked for the recipe!...

Making crepes from scratch is one of those culinary endeavors I considered too fussy for my tastes. I even own a fancy crepe pan, a gift Ben bought me years ago at my request. I harbored romantic pictures of us recreating the piles of crepes I cooked with my host family when I studied abroad in France. Flash forward seven years: the crepe pan has moved into three different homes with us…and never emerged from its forgotten place at the very bottom of our pile of pots and pans....

Donuts were never a food we had around the house growing up. Even though my parents were far from low carb, they didn’t buy much that was processed. I would have happily eaten donuts elsewhere whenever given the chance, though. When I started trying to eat healthier years ago, I felt like I was missing out on donuts at the office, so I created this sugar-free keto donuts recipe with almond flour....

It’s here: the ultimate guide to sugar substitutes for baking, cooking, keto desserts, beverages, and everything in between! I get a lot of questions from people asking about the best sugar alternatives, the right keto sweeteners to use for a low carb lifestyle or diabetes, or simply how to cut refined sugar for better health or avoiding weight gain. Most of the keto options make excellent sweeteners for diabetics as well....

I jest. I’m sure, if pressed (or if the last Sweet Potato Bite were at stake), I could find one game Ben missed in the last 25 years, but it would be a challenge. In fact, this time of year, our entire communication system shifts to the team’s schedule. Sample conversation. Please note, this actually happened. More than once. Me: “The wedding is the 23rd.”Ben: “What?”Me: (checks schedule on phone) “The Michigan State Game....

This keto chicken salad recipe is one of those dishes you’ll want to keep on hand for comforting, healthy, convenient meals! Like other high-protein salads (such as egg salad or avocado tuna salad), you can learn how to make low carb chicken salad for a quick low carb lunch, snack, or light dinner using easy ingredients and just minutes of prep. Is Chicken Salad Keto? Most of the time, chicken salad is a naturally low carb meal option and is suitable for a keto diet, but that does depend what you put in it....
