Can we all agree that cauliflower really is the keto or paleo MVP? Miss mashed potatoes - use cauliflower. Pizza crust? Cauliflower. Rice? You guessed it...cauliflower.
Loaded with flavorful pork, this fried “rice” is a big hit when you’re looking for something tasty, but still as satisfying as your favorite takeout food.
It’s also pretty easy to prepare and keeps well in the fridge.
You deserve to indulge in that Chinese craving without blowing your keto diet.

These aren't your momma's Brussels sprouts. Long gone are the days of mushy, soggy, bland Brussels.

When paired with chicken, bacon, and a tangy lemon dressing, it turns lunch time into something you’ll look forward to.

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.

Steak, Eggs, and Broccoli
Steak and eggs is a classic breakfast combo, but it’s gets the addition of fiber and nutrients with broccoli added in.
When sautéed in oil, broccoli turns into a different veggie than when steamed — it’s crisp and flavorful, and goes perfectly with the steak.
A cast iron skillet is perfect for this dish to get a perfectly fried egg and well browned steak.
If you're just starting the keto diet, this is the perfect recipe to keep in your rotation. It can be whipped up for breakfast or dinner. It keeps green things on your plate, for which we'll always be advocates.
Don't forget about our keto calculator tool. This will help you ...

Slow Cooker Keto Short Ribs
SLOW COOKERS FOR THE WIN.
I love tools that make life easy. And the slow cooker is one of them. 100%.
Short ribs may intimidate you if you’ve never made them, but they couldn’t be more easy if you have a slow cooker.
It takes all day, but the end result is tender, melt in your mouth beef that you simply can’t get enough of. Serve these with mashed cauliflower for the most comforting experience.
Just throw it in the slow cooker before you go to work. When you come home, you'll have delicious, tender short ribs that will make your mouth water.

Mediterranean Skillet Frittata
I like recipes that are as simple as possible. That's kind of how I see a frittata. A skillet frittata - like this one - is something you can cook quickly before you head out the door.
It will fill you up for hours because it’s loaded with protein, and when you add tons of veggies, it’s full of fiber.
You can also add whatever you like, so feel free to customize this based on what you have on hand, or like.
And don't think that you can only have this for breakfast. I've literally had a frittata for breakfast, lunch, or dinner before. It's filling, savory, and satiating, so it works for any meal, I say.
How are you going to ...

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.
