This breakfast-style pizza is very popular in the Midwest and includes a cheese sauce, hot crumbled sausage, crispy bacon, scrambled eggs and sliced scallions. It will be your new go-to breakfast option. This pizza is easy to make ahead and freeze into individual servings. Simply reheat the slices in the microwave (then throw them in a skillet to make the bottom crispy) or reheated in the oven. Simplicity is key here. This cheese sauce only uses 2 ingredients so it is easy to memorize and execute (only cream and shredded cheese). The two ingredients melt together into the most velvety sauce. Equipment that will set you up for Keto pizza success is a pizza stone, flat sheets of parchment paper (not the pre rolled stuff) and a nice rolling pin. The bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage, cheese sauce and scallions can all be made ahead of time. If you make the cheese sauce ahead of time, it will thicken as it cools...so be sure to reheat it gently adding a couple teaspoons of heavy cream at a time until it is a nice sauce consistency.
This vegan mushroom risotto is a comforting, rich, and surprisingly healthy dish, perfect for low-carb and Whole30 diets. Ready in under 30 minutes with simple ingredients, it features cauliflower rice as a nutrient-rich, high-fiber base, complemented by vitamin-packed mushrooms and healthy fats from coconut milk. Nutritional yeast adds essential amino acids. It's gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan, making it a versatile option for various dietary needs. For those not on a Whole30 diet, butter or heavy cream can replace olive oil or coconut milk, and parmesan cheese can substitute nutritional yeast. Xanthan gum is crucial for the creamy texture, mimicking the starch released in traditional risotto. Tapioca starch can be used as an alternative, adding a slight carb increase.
This Keto bread recipe offers a quick and convenient gluten-free, low-carb bread option, ready in just about 5 minutes with a 90-second microwave cooking time. Combining protein-rich hemp powder and almond flour with other common ingredients, it's topped with a crunchy mix of pumpkin and sunflower seeds. The bread boasts a firm, bouncy texture reminiscent of traditional bread, making it ideal for a healthy breakfast with eggs, sandwiches, or burger buns. It also serves as a great protein-packed snack after workouts. Prepare it in any 3-4 inch diameter, at least 2-inch high microwave-safe mug or ramekin, adjusting cooking times based on your microwave's wattage. For 600-700W microwaves, cook for 90 seconds, adding 10 seconds if needed. If unsure of your microwave's power, start with 60 seconds and add 10-second intervals until the center is set and the texture is dry, moist, and bouncy. Hemp protein powder, easily digestible and packed with essential amino acids, Omega fatty acids, dietary fiber, and iron, can be substituted with any Keto-friendly protein powder or additional almond flour if unavailable. Adjust the salt content if using salted butter, and opt for plant-based butter or coconut oil for a dairy-free version. Experiment with seeds like linseeds, sesame, or poppy seeds instead of pumpkin and sunflower seeds. This bread is best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored wrapped in plastic wrap in an airtight container in the fridge and reheated in a toaster or pan. Perfect for those seeking a fast, healthy, and customizable bread alternative.
The perfect treat to celebrate the Day of the Dead, Halloween, or other fun holidays are these Keto sugar cookies. Modeled after Mexican sugar skulls, these sugar cookies are decorated in festive colors and eccentric patterns. The cookies are made from a fluffy blend of almond and coconut flour. They have the same texture as classic sugar cookies: a lightly golden sugared rim for a light and crisp bite that ends in a more tender center.

When it seems like everyone else around you is indulging in a seasonal tradition of eating starchy and sweetened foods, don miss out on the fun! These Keto cookies will satisfy a sweet tooth. The symbol of a skull is the perfect representation of what the Day of the Dead is all about. Many traditional celebrations of the holiday include all sorts of candies and desserts depicting the skull symbol, most notably sugar skulls. Sugar skulls are literally made of sugar and decorated with the iconic bright colors and bold patterns of popular Mexican cultures. Creating these fun designs on Keto sugar cookies is a great activity to share with kids or friends. You can use the icing recipe here just like royal icing that used on the sugar cookies you see in bakeries. Keep the icing in the refrigerator for firm decorator icing. You can use piping tips to decorate cookies like you would a cupcake. If you want to fill cookies with thin icing, briefly microwave the Keto icing to melt it. While it warm, pour it in between lines of firm icing and use a toothpick to spread it around. Keep the cookies in your refrigerator to make sure the icing sets in place.

These juicy Keto air fryer steaks are cooked to perfection and topped with soft roasted Mediterranean vegetables. Air frying is a great way to cook steaks, browning the fat and meat perfectly on the outside. This makes a great Saturday night dinner served with a hearty Keto salad or slaw. These Keto steaks are simply brushed with olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper before air frying. The steaks are topped with sweet cherry tomatoes and bell pepper strips, roasted with garlic and olive oil in the air fryer.

We suggest serving the steak with a hearty salad or low carb slaw. Alternatively serve with some Keto friendly fries!

If you like crab cakes but you want to save the extra carbs that are in shellfish and crustaceans, make salmon cakes! These salmon cakes are made just like crab cakes, down to the classic Old Bay seasoning. Choose healthy, bright pink salmon to have a fresh seaside meal. Of course, it 's common sense to always choose the freshest seafood available to you, but this is a recipe where "the fresher the better " really counts! The cakes are stuffed with Keto binders, like mayonnaise, egg, and grated parmesan cheese. Low-carb almond flour and ground flaxseed thicken the cakes for chewy bites. Drizzled over each salmon cake is a thick, sticky balsamic vinegar reduction made with lots of lemon juice and sweetened with Keto sweetener. Serve the Keto salmon cakes with traditional tartar sauce, fresh dill or parsley, and an extra wedge of lemon. Balsamic vinegar reductions have a lot of flavor in a small amount, so not much of each ingredient is needed to make the glaze in this recipe. Therefore, it may benefit you to double the amounts of balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and liquid stevia you use. This way, you can make sure you can easily spoon your reduction and give the proper amount to each serving. Just don consume the excess calories! Whole flaxseeds are used in all types of gluten-free bread and are known for their health attributions. Flaxseed is also very good at absorbing liquids, which means it can have some special cooking powers. On the Keto diet, you can use ground flaxseed to thicken baked goods, stews, or dishes like Keto meatloaf. Flaxseed is your key ingredient in making sure your salmon cakes have that thick, chewy consistency that crab cakes have and also have a darker, savory flavor. Jessica L.
