I'm not going to lie to you - I think this might be the recipe that I've been most excited about in quite a while. Chicken. Bacon. Ranch. Salad.
Yes, you heard that right.
A delicious, creamy salad dressing filled with herbs is perfect on a salad topped with crispy chicken breast. Crumbled bacon adds saltiness that compliments the crisp greens nicely.
We're expanding into the keto world - after being strictly paleo for years and years now. And that allows room for some recipes + ingredients that we haven't been able to share with you before.

Loaded Turkey Noodle Soup
If you’ve got leftover turkey from a big family dinner, or maybe a holiday celebration, this is the perfect way to use it.
A comforting bowl of noodle soup, made with zucchini noodles, of course. Shredded chicken works just as well here, so feel free to make the swap if that’s your thing.
This maaaaay not be as good as your grandma's recipe that was passed down through the generations, but it's a close second! And - bonus - it's got all the ingredients to make you feel amazing.

Bacon Beef Tenderloin with Garlicky Greens
You don’t have to go to your favorite steakhouse to get a good meal — you can make one at home, and it’s easier than you think. This beef tenderloin cooked with bacon and served with garlic-flavored greens is filling, delicious, and the perfect dinner in.
If you're anything like me, you like to have at least one more side with dinner. My boyfriend would argue maybe two or three ;) The greens make a nice addition but might I also suggest some mashed sweet potatoes - if you have room for the carbs - or cauliflower tabouli.
Enjoy!

Cilantro Lime Chicken Thighs
Cilantro and lime always reminds me of the rice from Chipotle. Anyone else? That's the first time I was introduced to that flavor combination (way back before my nutrition days), and I always loved it so much.
There's just something so delicious about cilantro paired with tangy lime. And put it on a chicken thigh, and it takes it to the next level.
These chicken thighs get a tangy flavor from a combo of cilantro and lime, and are then served with a decadent side dish of blistered tomatoes and cauliflower rice.
It’s a decadent tasting meal that you think is complicated, but it’s actually pretty simple.
It's perfect for a date night ...

Lemon Caper Chicken with Mashed Cauliflower
Lemon caper chicken is delicious for lunch or dinner - or even leftovers the next day! It takes about 30 minutes to come together - which is pretty fast no matter how you look at it.
Get the cauliflower going and you can cook the chicken at the same time. Consolidating cooking tasks is one of my favorite kitchen hacks.
The lemon and capers in this dish give it a delicious tang that can’t be beat, and served with mashed cauliflower, it will feel like a comforting meal you thought you’d never eat again. For extra nutrition, serve with a small side salad tossed with olive oil and lemon juice.

Open Faced Veggie Omelet
Omelets are an easy way to get your veggies in, and this one is no exception.
Loaded with fresh veggies, it’s full of fiber and thanks to the eggs - it's protein-rich as well. I promise this will keep you satisfied until lunch.
This is the perfect way to use up veggies leftover from last night’s dinner or to use up odds and ends from your farmer’s market haul.
If you don't like the veggies we've suggested - don't worry! You can essentially put in any vegetables you like in this. That's the beauty of an omelet.

Keto Friendly Zucchini Bolognese
I bet you thought your days of bolognese were over once you decided to go keto. Surprise - they're not! You've just got to get a little veggie with it.
And you know how we like to roll around here...we love those veggies.
This rich and meaty sauce has amazing flavor. It's really the stick-to-your-ribs kind of comfort food.
You could use a spiralizer for the zucchini if you'd like, but it’s best served with wide, flat ribbons of zucchini, which are easy to create using a standard vegetable peeler. You’ll never know you’re eating something low-carb and nutritious.

Keto Blueberry Waffles
KETO WAFFLES? Is that really a thing??
Waffles are something you may have thought you were never going to eat again on keto, but good news — that is not true in the least.
These blueberry waffles are easy to prepare, and loaded with fiber and antioxidants. You can reduce the carbs by leaving out the blueberries, but for a sometimes treat, these are absolutely delicious.
If you’ve never had psyllium husk, you can find it in health food or specialty stores where you buy keto products. Serve these with a hard boiled egg or two and some avocado on the side for a complete breakfast.
