I love, love, love Peri Peri! It makes my senses explode with it's charred and spicy goodness. The marinade is very easy to make and stores well at room temperature (or the refrigerator) - use it for chicken, beef, lamb, even as a salad dressing. For this recipe, I chose chicken thighs because it is budget-friendly, tender, delicious, and pretty much foolproof. We're going to skewer them cause any food on a stick instantly translates to fun and festive. Paired with a pepper and tomato ...
Dairy Free Keto Crepes
Crepes can be one of the more intimidating breakfast foods. They often require a special pan, tools, and delicate care, but these crepes are easy and whip up right in the blender! These crepes are a little heavier than a traditional crepe but light enough to fill, fold, and sprinkle with no calorie powdered sweetener. The trick to making keto crepes is to thin the batter to the correct consistency. I always end up making mine a little thicker than seems comfortable to make flipping the ...

Mushrooms & Goat Cheese Salad
Wow - this is one amazing salad! The best part is the mushrooms sauteed in butter. It helps keep the lettuce moist and pairs well with the balsamic vinegar dressing and crumbled goat cheese. For this recipe I used a baby greens mix from the store but if you can't find that mixture even just baby kale, spinach, and a little romaine will go a long way with this delicious dish. Alternatively for the cheese, you could also try chunks of brie or feta. Each would taste equally as ...

Homemade Keto Caesar Salad
Here's how you can make a classic Caesar salad at home, with keto-friendly ingredients. We add plenty of Parmesan cheese and dressing but skip the croutons in favor of crispy bacon.

Cold Zucchini Salad
This cold zucchini salad is the perfect summery salad for serving alongside BBQ. We create this with sauteed zucchini, celery, lots of onion, and a mayonnaise-based dressing. This salad is great for making ahead because it's even better if you let it sit overnight. There's no need to bust out the spiralizer or even the vegetable peeler because the zucchini is very simply chopped, which gives it a great chunky texture. Try adding some rotisserie chicken and feta cheese for a heartier ...

Keto Asparagus, Egg, and Bacon Salad
An asparagus salad topped with bacon and eggs, then dressed with a tangy dijon vinaigrette. The dressing is easily made with pantry staples that you likely have on hand. That makes it great for whipping up any time you find great asparagus. You can save time by making extra hard-boiled eggs or bacon when you cook them for other recipes. That way, all you have to do is blanch the asparagus and create the dressing. I like to have both in my fridge at all times. Yields 2 servings of ...
