Keto Crispy Baked Zucchini Slices

July 15, 2019 by Faith 2 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! What’s not to love about a fabulous bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich, right?

Cauliflower Potato Salad

Cauliflower Potato Salad (aka mock potato salad) has a mayo-based dressing with a touch of Dijon, dill, and a few spices. It’s every bit as delicious as regular potato salad, but with a fraction of the carbs! The magical property of cauliflower is that you can transform it into almost anything else. Cauliflower lends itself well to low carb simulations of pizza crust, bread sticks, rice, mashed potato, macaroni and cheese, and yes, even potato salad! I know what you’re thinking, and I was skeptical too, but let me explain....

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!...

Keto Spanakopita Dip

Keto Spanakopita Dip is rich and super cheesy with four kinds of cheese, and garlic and dill bump up the flavor! I never heard anyone complaining of too many cheesy dip recipes.

This step-by-step guide for How to Make Cauliflower Rice will show you just how quick and easy it is to make. It’s a great side dish for so many meals! Within the past 5 years or so, cauliflower rice has become hugely popular. You can now find “riced” cauliflower in the produce area of many regular grocery stores. And you can even frequently get frozen riced cauliflower too! The thing is, you pay a premium for fresh riced cauliflower, and frozen riced cauliflower is a bit too mushy for my taste. I’m going to show you how to make cauliflower rice, and you won’t believe […]...
