DIPS & SAUCES
Taco Seasoning
yield: about ½ cup (1 tablespoon per serving) prep time: 5 minutes This is probably my most frequently used homemade seasoning mix. For years, I used those little packets, which are loaded with additives. I’m so glad I started making my own instead! We love taco salad...
Creole Seasoning
yield: about ½ cup (1 tablespoon per serving) prep time: 5 minutes Make your own Creole seasoning without all those additives and sugar. You can turn down the heat by decreasing the amount of cayenne pepper, but I don’t know why you’d want to! This seasoning can be...
Frosty Keto Float

MCT Pesto
Have you ever heard of Beyonce’s Maple Syrup Diet Cleanse? It is just water, lemon juice, cayenne, and maple syrup. I like the lemon and the cayenne part of the cleanse, but the maple syrup? No, no, no! Switch that out with coconut oil, and you now have a fat-burning...

Easy Peasy Blender Hollandaise
makes 1 cup (2 tablespoons per serving) · prep time: 5 minutes In my book, hollandaise is the perfect keto condiment. It is high in fat and tastes good on just about everything—equally good over eggs as it is over a perfectly grilled, juicy steak. It is also amazing...
