Maple Asparagus Salad

February 28, 2019 by Leave a Comment

The Maple Asparagus Salad is an explosion of colors and textures. It’s crisp, juicy, and crunchy with a hint of sweetness. The maple balsamic dressing works wonders when paired with both feta cheese and asparagus. The maple asparagus salad is great for spring and summer dinners, cookouts, and picnics. There’s minimal prep time; the most time-consuming part of this recipe is cooking and preparing the asparagus spears. You also don’t have to dunk them in cold water afterward, however, it’s ...

Fat Boost Smoothie with Coconut Chantilly Cream

Fat Boost Smoothie with Coconut Chantilly Cream

February 26, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Most days, I need a fat boost. First things that come to mind? Avocado and coconut. Avocado is perhaps one of the healthiest low carb foods you can have. Super low in carbs, high in healthy fats, and packed full of nutrients, dare I say it is a must for a low carb high fat keto diet. It’s smooth and buttery and used as a fruit in most Southeast Asian countries. As a result, it’s incorporated in a lot of sweet desserts, ice cream, and smoothies! Coconut cream has a higher fat content and makes ...

Keto Cauliflower Tabbouleh

Keto Cauliflower Tabbouleh

February 14, 2019 by Leave a Comment

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 ...

Keto Taco Salad

Keto Taco Salad

February 5, 2019 by Leave a Comment

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

January 31, 2019 by Leave a Comment

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 ...

Keto Stuffed Artichokes

Keto Stuffed Artichokes

January 29, 2019 by Leave a Comment

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 ...

Beef Salpicao

Beef Salpicao

January 15, 2019 by Leave a Comment

I grew up in a small farm town, and one of our staple foods as a child was beef. My grandmother would throw seared beef into a lot of her inventive dishes that gave us plenty of protein and vitamins. As an adult, I love to pair it with some greens and sparkling water. I think this dish would be great for a date night, or for a family night when there’s no rush to finish what’s on your plate. It’s aromatic, warm, and invades your taste buds with all of the spices and textures. There’s ...

Bacon and Eggs Benedict Salad

Bacon and Eggs Benedict Salad

January 10, 2019 by Leave a Comment

My idea of a perfect weekend is sleeping in, eating brunch with an excellent cup of coffee, and exploring my local farmer’s market. Eggs Benedict is a hearty brunch staple that will give you the energy to cross all the items off your to-do list. I like to pair it with a chicory coffee or breakfast tea. The best part is the recipe can be tailored for keto and non-keto folks alike! Prep time will require a little effort, but you can easily replace the egg yolk with packaged yolk from the ...

Blackberry, Basil and Spinach Pressed Halloumi

Blackberry, Basil and Spinach Pressed Halloumi

January 8, 2019 by Leave a Comment

This sweet and savory combo is perfect for breakfast or brunch, but could also be part of a light spring lunch. The fresh basil pairs nicely with the other ingredients so it’s not overpowering. Halloumi is a slightly springy cheese that’s great for grilling and super photogenic- great for those Instagram food shots! This recipe requires minimal prep time; the most intensive part of it is slicing the halloumi cheese. Make sure the slices are the same thickness so that they cook evenly. We ...
