I love traditional lasagna as much as the next person, but my love for a rich and creamy white sauce is greater! This dish takes a typical low carb zucchini lasagna roll and kicks it up a creamy notch with sundried tomato alfredo sauce and a spinach and ricotta filling. It may seem time-consuming to make these zucchini noodles with a vegetable peeler, but the process goes quickly once you get the hang of it! As for the sauce, it is so rich and creamy with a hint of sweet from the addition ...

Keto Cauliflower Tabbouleh

Keto Cauliflower Tabbouleh

I’ve recently fallen in love with the convenience of cauliflower rice in a bag. It’s located in a huge number of grocery stores now in both the fresh food and frozen section, which makes preparing keto meals easy on a tight schedule! I’ve been thinking up new ways to use cauliflower rice and I was so excited to try a vegan mock tabbouleh recipe that would stay low in carbs but bring that flavor that I miss from the customarily grain heavy dish. I’m so glad I did because this dish is easy and so ...

I went to make a casserole today, but couldn’t decide what kind! I had all these ingredients, but nothing specific in mind…jalapeno popper casserole? Mushroom casserole? Instead, I decided to combine ALL the tasty ingredients into one. This loaded cauliflower casserole is easy to make with minimal prep time and takes only an hour to cook. To reduce prep time, you can buy pre-cut mushrooms and jalapenos from the grocery store. Make sure chicken is thoroughly cooked before serving! Loaded ...

Steamed Pork Cabbage Rolls

Steamed Pork Cabbage Rolls

February 7, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Egg rolls have always been one of my favorite side dishes. I’ve been finding new ways to use cabbage lately and had the idea to make these steamed pork cabbage rolls. Instead of putting shredded cabbage inside, the cabbage makes a great roll filled with savory ingredients and a bit of spice from freshly grated ginger. These don’t have a fried layer like a traditional egg roll, but that doesn’t make them any less flavorful! The dipping sauce is optional, but it adds a burst of spice that ...

Do you love Taco Tuesday, and feel like you can’t partake because of Keto? Well, look no further! You can still have your tacos but without the shells! These are great for all occasions, but we love them for family dinners or entertaining friends. There’s some minor food prep involved, but the most intensive part is disassembling the avocado [there’s some magic to that I haven’t mastered yet]. You can substitute the cheese for a Mexican blend or Pepper Jack, in addition to using jalapenos ...

Maple Shrimp Salad

Maple Shrimp Salad

Maple Shrimp Salad is a sweet and savory dish that can be served as an entrée or as a side salad for dinner. It reminds me of warm, slightly saccharine spring nights. The kind where you sit for hours after dinner is served, and bask in the extended daylight hours. For this salad, I used pre-cooked, peeled shrimp with no tails to save on time. There’s not a lot of prep time involved, you will just need to ensure the shrimp is thoroughly cooked before serving; it should be an orange color ...

Artichokes can be one of the more intimidating vegetables to prepare but when done properly they can be a deliciously impressive side dish or appetizer! This recipe stuffs the fibrous veggie with a cheesy “breading” of almond flour and parmesan cheese and is baked to golden perfection. The leaves are drizzled in olive oil and are perfect for scooping the parmesan filling! Cooking a fresh artichoke is not the only intimidating part for most people. Understanding how to eat this spiny ...
