Save yourself from take-out! If you miss egg rolls since going keto, this Low Carb Egg Roll in a Bowl (aka Keto Crack Slaw) will be your new favorite meal. It has all the same bells and whistles, but in stir-fry form with much fewer carbs!

Low-Carb Crack Slaw (aka Egg Roll in a Bowl) on Metal Tray

I know, the name Crack Slaw is a little crazy.

Two things about it though: 1) I can’t take credit for naming or inventing it, and 2) it actually is addictive so it is pretty aptly named! As far as I know, the recipe comes from the Low Carb Friends Forum (which is now unfortunately closed).

And it really does taste like an egg roll in a bowl!

My version of the Egg Roll in a Bowl recipe features a delicate balance between sweet, salty, umami, and tart flavors.

I use a bit more garlic and ginger than most renditions, and I also add sriracha and sesame seeds. Coconut oil (instead of a neutral-flavored oil) adds a subtle coconut flavor, but if that’s not your thing, substitute with any healthy oil you like (such as avocado oil). I finish it with a little drizzle of toasted sesame oil to add a hint of nuttiness and scallion for freshness!

Crack Slaw with Description

Low Carb Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe (aka Keto Crack Slaw)

This easy, 30 minute, weeknight dinner recipe is jam-packed with flavor, texture, and nutrition! And it’s as addictively delicious as its name implies.

This recipe really does taste like an egg roll without the wrapper! There are so many flavors and textures going on in this recipe that you won’t even miss the carbs.

What is an Egg Roll in a Bowl?

Egg Roll in a Bowl (also called Crack Slaw) is basically stir fry that’s made to taste like egg roll filling.

The main components are ground meat (a lot of recipes use pork, but I make mine with beef) and cabbage, and it has several flavorful additions, such as garlic, ginger, onion, soy sauce (or coconut aminos or tamari sauce), etc.

Why is it Called Crack Slaw?

The dicey term of endearment for this recipe comes from the fact that this dish is so delicious it’s addictive.

Easy Meal Prep Meals

One Skillet Meals

I love the simplicity of one pan and one skillet meals! It means fewer pots and pans to juggle on the stovetop, and less cleanup.

The ingredients in this recipe are cooked in stages in the same skillet.

Here Are a Few More One-Skillet Meal Ideas:

  • Easy Steak Fajitas
  • Blue Cheese, Chicken, and Cauliflower Skillet with Bacon, Walnut, and Date Topping
  • Skillet Honey-Garlic Chicken Thighs with Roast Potatoes

Easy Weeknight Dinners: 30 Minute Meals

We all love a nutritious meal that we can get on the table fast! Some nights 30 minutes is all the time we have to make dinner, otherwise the drive-through starts looking pretty darn appealing.

In an effort to avoid the drive through (and in the process, save money and provide your family with a nourishing meal), a few 30 minute meal ideas are always good to have on hand.

Here Are Some of My Favorite 30 Minute Meals:

  • Loaded Taco Skillet
  • White Chicken Chili
  • Beef Bolognese with Herbes de Provence and Red Wine

The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is the perfect dessert for you and your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, and it's even more special because it was made for a cause. ❤️

This is the 5th year in a row that Julie from @thelittlekitchn has organized the Cookies for Kid's Cancer Valentine's Event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, and I'm honored to be part of it.

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣
