Palak Paneer Recipe (Indian Spinach Curry with Paneer Cheese)

September 10, 2019 by Faith Leave a Comment

YES, you can easily make restaurant-quality Indian food at home…and still eat keto! If you’ve seen Palak Paneer at Indian restaurants but haven’t tried it, now is the time to whip it up along with some keto naan. Spoiler Alert: It’s much easier than you think!

Indian food and I get along just fine. If you’ve been reading my blog for a while or if you follow me on Instagram, you probably know how deep my love for Indian food runs. (As evidence, Indian Butter Chicken is my absolute favorite meal, and I even opt for Indian food in Paris.)…

Sous Vide Egg Bites with Bacon and Cheddar (Starbucks Copycat)

September 2, 2019 by Faith 1 Comment

If you enjoy the sous vide egg bites at Starbucks, this Sous Vide Egg Bites with Bacon and Cheddar recipe is for you! Each egg bite has just 1g net carbs. And I make this recipe in an electric pressure cooker so it cooks up fast! I’m really not a fast food girl. And also, I’m not much of a fad food girl, either. But since Starbucks came out with their sous vide egg bites, they’ve been my go-to when I’m there getting work done for hours on end and need sustenance. A girl’s gotta eat, right?...

Full of fresh veggies and packed with different flavors and textures, this Chopped Kale Salad is perfect for meal prep! And it’ll have you excited to eat salad. With Labor Day and the unofficial end to summer right around the corner, I’ve kicked my fresh-veggies-from-the-farmers-market habit into high gear. This Chopped Kale Salad is basically a combination of whatever fresh produce you find at the market that looks good, all chopped up! With crisped beef bacon and cheese added for protein, along with sunflower seeds for crunch....

Dan Dan Noodles aka Dan Dan Mian (Paleo, Dairy Free, Keto)

August 19, 2019 by Faith Leave a Comment

Dan Dan Noodles feature a complex and spicy, but balanced flavor profile, and my version is low carb without sacrificing taste! Dan Dan Noodles is a classic Sichuan street food dish, but I first had it at an Asian restaurant in Orlando. One bite and I was completely hooked on the flavor profile! It starts out subtly sweet, and then umami, and finally a fiery, spicy heat hits the back of your palate. After every single bite you’ll want to go back for another to repeat the tasting experience!...

Creamy with the perfect amount of tang, this Low Carb Honey Mustard Dressing tastes every bit as delicious as the regular stuff, but with much fewer carbs! A lot of people tell me they’d eat more salad if salad was more interesting. One of the easiest ways to jazz up salad is to add a flavorful dressing! Honey mustard isn’t just for dipping chicken fingers, friends....

Keto Crispy Baked Zucchini Slices

July 15, 2019 by Faith 3 Comments

This recipe for Keto Crispy Baked Zucchini Slices is my take on a favorite summer side dish my mom makes. My version hits all the right notes – crispy outside, tender inside, and full of flavor – but with much fewer carbs! When I was younger my mom had a small vegetable garden, and zucchini was always one of the vegetables that thrived best. If you grow zucchini you probably come to expect zucchini overload every summer! It’s always good to have a few new recipes up your sleeve to help use up the bounty....

This BLT Salad packs all the traditional flavors of a classic BLT sandwich, but without the carbs. You won’t even miss the bread! What’s not to love about a fabulous bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich, right? Actually, the only thing I don’t like about it is the carbs. But that’s an easy fix; just make it in salad form instead!...

Cast Iron Burgers

June 17, 2019 by Faith 1 Comment

Cast Iron Burgers are juicy and flavorful, and easy to make on your stovetop in a cast-iron skillet. For a lot of us, grilling is the preferred cooking method in summer. Grilling is quick and easy, and doesn’t require heating up the kitchen to get dinner on the table! And surprisingly, grilling is a very versatile cooking method. My dad has told me several times that he could cook a cake on a grill and I actually believe him, lol!...

Parmesan Peppercorn Dressing

June 3, 2019 by Faith Leave a Comment

Parmesan Peppercorn Dressing is a beautiful blend of savory Parmesan flavor, peppery heat, and tangy creamy texture. And it takes minimal effort to make! I’m a condiment girl all the way. I like “the works” on top of hot dogs and burgers, blue cheese for my wings, mustard to dip pretzels in, and ketchup and/or hot sauce drizzled on eggs. For me, the dressing can make or break a salad!...
