Swiss chard does not get nearly enough credit compared to kale or spinach.

Brussels sprouts get a bad reputation, and most of the time, overcooking is the reason why. Keto Brussels sprouts with bacon give these little guys a fast trip through a hot skillet, so they stay bright green and a little crunchy instead of turning bitter and gray. I let the bacon get a head start … Read more
I got tired of tomato sauce and meatballs a long time ago. Keto Greek meatballs go a different direction entirely, ground chicken mixed with feta, spinach, and lemon zest instead of another marinara.

I almost always have a batch of this in the fridge. Keto tzatziki sauce works as a dip, a dressing, a marinade, and a sauce, so one batch covers a lot of ground through the week. I make mine with plain Greek yogurt and grated cucumber, and the one step people tend to skip is … Read more

I used to be a green bean snob, fresh and barely cooked or nothing at all. Then I stopped at a cafeteria-style BBQ place outside of Houston and saw green beans loaded with bacon and sausage. Keto Southern style green beans are how I recreated that dish at home. This is not a copycat of … Read more
