We hope this roundup helps bring excitement and joy to your kitchen, and helps you stay on track! Whatever your dietary goals are, these meals are some of our most simple, healthy and family-friendly—what’s not to love? Let’s dig in:
- This breadless Pesto Chicken Bruschetta is extra great in the summer when basil is in season, but you can always grab some good-quality jarred pesto and make it anytime of the year!
- With just five ingredients, Skillet Roasted Chicken with Cabbage has got to be one of our all time favorite weeknight dinners. Have your butcher spatchcock the chicken for you, and the whole meal takes about ten minutes to put together—what’s not to love?
- Stuffed with three kinds of cheese and rich Lasagna Stuffed Zucchini Boats are a sure-fire hit. To be sure they’re in line with the keto diet, look for a marinara sauce with no sugar added. Let’s get cooking!
- If you are living the keto dream, you’ll want to use a can of FULL fat coconut cream to this Cauliflower Curry! Aroy-D brand is our go-to, with 17 grams of healthy fat per serving! Skip the naan and rice, and serve the curry over cauliflower rice instead! Spicy, warming, creamy heaven in a bowl.
- Creamy Tomato Soup with Chicken and Vegetables loaded with lean ground meat, Italian seasonings and ultra-healthy cruciferous vegetables, and is magically low carb, fiber-rich, gluten free and ready in 30 minutes!
- Bacon, cheddar Breakfast Egg Muffins with jalapeños are the ideal make-ahead, easy low carb breakfast. To keep this recipe extra keto-rific, sub heavy cream for milk!
- Sweet bell peppers and bright green onions are sautéd in butter and then doused in heavy cream to create a fragrant, deliciously verdant pool in which to bake these heavenly Shirred Eggs with Leeks. Perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch, or a simple weeknight supper.
- A store-bought rotisserie chicken means that this Tikka Masala Soup comes together in minutes, and a healthy pour of full-fat coconut milk means that it is so keto! Just the way we like it when we’re limiting carbs.
- Steak Salad with Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing could not be more indulgent—it’s the perfect dinner party meal that will please every palate and keep you on track, too.
- Serve these Beef Kofta Kababs with a keto-friendly tzatziki-mayo dip and feta cheese, they are sure to become a favorite!
- Heavy on the cream, heavy on the parm and heavy on the garlic, this Garlic Soup recipe is perfect for when you are feeling the sickies coming on!
- Turkey Meatballs in a Creamy Red Curry Sauce always hit the spot! To make them extra keto, swap the small amount of sugar for monk fruit!
- Make a huge batch of these Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas, and use the leftovers in salads all week long. Just drizzle with a nice olive oil-y keto dressing or vinaigrette!
- If you are a burger fan, you’re gonna want to make these Sliders with Sun-Dried Tomato Mayo and Spicy Pickles! The keto-ers in your household can just skip the bun, and opt for kosher pickles over the sweet and spicy ones.
- Craving an egg-septional dish for breakfast lunch or even dinner? Then you’ll have to try this Spring-y Asparagus Frittata with creme fraiche!
- How about a perfectly Seared Steak with Herbaceous, Homemade Chimichurri—yes please! And steak salads with the leftovers for lunch the next day? Double yes.
- Our Paleo Chili could also be called keto chili, and it’s also whole30 approved! Made in a slow cooker, it’s your mid-week BFF.
- One of my favorite veggie dishes of all time, Za'atar-Roasted Cauliflower is served with an herby whipped feta dip that you’ll want to spread on everything!
- Eggs, green olives and cream, oh my! Topped with salty cheese and a sprinkling of fresh chives, Baked Eggs with Swiss Chard are the perfect weekend breakfast—just skip the breadcrumbs to keep it low in carbs!
- In the need for a new idea for dinner? This Old Bay-Spiced Shrimp-and-Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner is so simple, and absolutely delicious!
- More fantastic egg ideas coming your way! This Avocado, Chèvre and Bacon Omelette is a tangy, creamy, savory everyday luxury.
- The lemony, silky tahini sauce on these grilled Chicken Shawarma Kebab is addictive, and good on so many things. Try it as a dip for raw veggies, or anywhere you’d use normally use hummus (which is sadly too carb-y to be truly in line with a ketogenic diet).
