Muffins are a classic breakfast food. But once you go keto, you may be afraid that muffins are off the table (and, unfortunately, out of your mouth.) Traditional, sugar-laden muffins may be, yes, but not these savory ones we've got for you today.
There's no rule that says that muffins HAVE to be sweet. Yes, a fresh, warm blueberry muffin is a wonderful thing, but there are many different ways to spice up the delicious muffin.
(Need a great recipe for a paleo version of blueberry muffins? We've got you.)
But even those paleo blueberry muffins aren't exactly keto-friendly. So we wanted to give all of our keto friends an option for a ...

How The Keto Diet Could Benefit Navy SEALs
It’s no secret that the ketogenic diet is a trendy diet right now. It’s probably right up there with the celery juice fad that you see all over Instagram. If you haven’t taken the dive into keto, I bet you know at least one person who has...and if not, you’ve at least heard of the diet yourself.
Keto Diet Explained
The popularity of the diet is at an all-time high. And I have to assume that’s in part to the massive number of stories you can find online from people who have successfully reached their goals living a keto lifestyle.

Slow Cooker Taco Soup
Ok, I know, I know - it's not quite soup season. But that doesn't stop me from craving a big bowl every now and then. And when that craving hits, this slow cooker taco soup hits the spot.
This soup is all about that keto life - so it's high fat, low carb, and got a flair of dairy. Obviously, not paleo. But if you can do dairy, this soup is for you.
The creaminess of this soup comes from the cream cheese. Add in ground beef, garlic, onion, fire-roasted tomatoes, and taco seasoning - the flavor combo is just heavenly.
Arguably, the beset part of this recipe is that there is minimal work involved - thanks to the slow cooker. All you ...

Keto Chicken Masala
I kind of hate the question "What's your favorite food?" because it's so hard for me to choose.
I love food - obviously. I made a career out of it. And my love for food runs deep - seriously, like alllll foods.
But sometimes people just want a specific answer. So when I have to get specific with it, I almost always choose Indian.
Indian food is delicious in every way. I love the tangy, spicy, savory, satisfying mix of it all. The smells and the bright colors of the dishes are to die for, in my humble opinion.
But with all that heavy rice and thick sauces, Indian food isn't the most keto-friendly of foods. So if you're an ...

The Best (And Worst) Keto Snacks
When most people think of the keto diet, they think that all they need to do is eat meat, avoid bread and kiss ice cream goodbye.

Stovetop Spring Frittata
HOW BEAUTIFUL IS THIS CREATION?! I know I might seem biased since this *is* one of our recipes, but seriously - this stovetop spring frittata is so dang visually appealing.
Frittatas are kind of the jack-of-all-trades of breakfast dishes. What I mean is that you can pretty much throw anything in it and it's going to work.
When I have produce in the fridge that I need to use up, I usually end up cooking it down in some oil and fragrant spices, adding eggs, and frittata-ing it up.
Yeah, I just made frittata a verb.
This particular version features all those amazing vegetables that you'll find at your farmer's market right ...

Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
Can we all agree that sheet pan dinners are the way to go? This chicken fajita version will make all your Mexican restaurant dreams come true.
And of course - it's all Paleo - so it's even better than going to the Mexican restaurant because you can avoid the chips, queso, and tortillas completely.
I'll be honest with you, tortilla chips are so hard for me to say "no" to when they're in front of me. I love them that much. So if I do find myself at that type of restaurant, I usually just go ahead and tell the waiter not to bring any to my table (if that's cool with whoever I'm eating with...if not, I just practice self-restraint. It's ...

Your Guide To Keto Restaurants
Eating has always been a social activity. It’s ingrained in
us and in our culture to share food with the ones we love.
It’s such a good feeling to sit around a table and break bread (figuratively, of course, if you follow paleo or keto…ha) with friends, family, co-workers, or partners.
Speaking of diets, that’s where eating can become a
bit more complicated. Most often, we have people who want to stick to a
specific way of eating but they’re just not sure what they should eat. What are
the foods to pile on your plate and which ones should be avoided?
That’s why we’ve created so many (SO MANY) resources to help
with this. ...
