One of those “it ain’t pretty, but it’s damn tasty” meals! Hamburger gravy over zucchini noodles! It’s been so long since I’ve had zoodles, and now that I know how to properly extract the all the moisture so it doesn’t water down the entire recipe, I’ll be thinking of more ways to eat them! This recipe was taken from Kyndra D. Holley’s tremendously easy cookbook, 30-Minute Ketogenic Cooking, which you can purchase from Amazon. This cookbook is a GODSEND for anyone who is dedicated to keto, but needs recipes for those of us who are time-management challenged. I bought this book from work–that’s the beauty of working in a bookstore as keto starts to rise in popularity; we have about a DOZEN different keto cookbooks, and yes I own them ALL.

This is just one meal I prepped in bulk on Sunday. I forgot how therapeutic meal prepping/cooking for me is. It gives me such a sense of control knowing I don’t have to worry about what I’m gonna eat every day of the week, so I can focus on other hobbies and activities. Plus, it’s a huge financial stress reliever. Happy Keto-ing my friends!

P.S. Over 2700 followers!?! You guys are incredible!! My ask is open for any tips on the keep diet in general. 💜

Another tasty, simple dinner

I tested out a new chicken kofta recipe but left out the cinnamon and greek yogurt. Honestly, it wasn’t missed. I pureed the onions and garlic in the food processor. These little kabobs were tasty, a definite repeat recipe.

I served the kofta with riced cauliflower, Joseph’s low carb pita and garlic sauce

Converted another HelloFresh meal to keto. Needs more fat! This is turkey chiles rellenos.

Omg look at this dinner I made a few nights ago. It was my first time not only cooking but eating lamb, and it was sooooooooo good omg. My roommate @ketokiana got a cast iron skillet and I used it to make pan seared lamb shoulder loins with rosemary and garlic. Mashed cauliflower and shaved zucchini salad (tossed with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper) as delish sides. Also I got a new cookbook called The Keto Diet and I HIGHLY recommend for anyone who is new to keto or anyone who has ridden the keto train and trying to understand the whole dietary process better. Some seriously savory recipes!! Can't wait to try some out. 😊 Have a great day!!

Okay… rutabaga fries were a TOTAL hit. Btw, yes I am that person that eats mayo with her fries instead of ketchup or ranch. It’s in the top 10 list as one of the whitest things about me.

Anyway, these are super easy to make! And less than 4 net grams of carbs per serving. I definitely have some tweaking to do, as these came out just a ~little~ too soggy for my taste. I may have to cut them a little thicker OR probably could’ve spent more time getting the moisture out of them before throwing them in the oven.

Take one rutabaga, peel and cut into ½ inch thick pieces. Make sure you really get the water out! It’ll definitely make them crispier. Throw onto a sheet pan (I always use foil), and season with 2 tbsp of olive oil, ½ teaspoon of salt and paprika, and a dash of pepper. Mix together so they’re evenly coated and pop in the oven at 450 degrees. I checked on them every 5 minutes to toss them so they cooked evenly for 20 minutes. Again, I might have to tweak the amount of time I cooked them for too.

Overall for a first attempt, not bad!

Sorry I've been MIA recently. I needed to get a hold of my mental health, which has been affecting my diet. Luckily I've made weekly appointments, I'm taking natural remedies to help me sleep at night (thank you melatonin tablets), and I purchased a book from the store I work at called "The Complete Cooking for Two Cookbook." It's but America's Test Kitchen, and guys... I can't tell you how great this cookbook is. It probably wouldn't be keto approved but there are plenty of keto substitutions for the burgers, sandwiches, and noodle dishes. It's great to not have to shop for a ton of stuff anymore, not to have food go bad in the fridge, and I'm eating a variety of meals every day. The first meal I made out of the book is above! Chicken with creamy mustard, onion, and full sauce and Caesar salad with homemade dressing. Why does homemade always taste better?! I have plenty of more pics to come! Recipes can be shared upon request! 🤗
