DINNER
OPEN-FACED TACOS
SERVES 4 PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME: 20 minutes As I was whacking away at a boneless chicken thigh for another recipe (the Paprika Chicken Sandwiches on here), I thought to myself, “If I hit this enough times, it’ll be as thin as a tortilla.” And then it hit...
ONE-POT STUFFIN
SERVES 4 PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME: 25 minutes It tastes like holiday stuffing, but without all the work! When Kevin and I are in the mood for shovel food (you know, the type of meal that you just shovel into your mouth—glamorous, I know), this dish is a top...
BACON-WRAPPED STUFFED CHICKEN
SERVES 4 PREP TIME: 15 minutes COOK TIME: 45 minutes A keto cookbook wouldn’t be complete without a bacon-wrapped dinner option. I always look out for sales on nitrate-free bacon and stock the freezer when I can. Also, note the sodium level in this recipe—it’s off the...
NOODLE BAKE
SERVES 6 PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME: 55 minutes If you don’t want to use shredded cheese in this recipe, check out the Melty “Cheese” on the opposite page. It’s 100 percent dairy-free and delicious in this dish. Not sure how to spiral-slice a jicama? It’s easy!...
ZUCCHINI LASAGNA
SERVES 6 PREP TIME: 10 minutes, plus 20 minutes to rest COOK TIME: 55 minutes Not feeling the cheese in this recipe? Use the Melty “Cheese” on here instead. 2 teaspoons dried basil 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves 1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves ½ teaspoon dried thyme...
ROASTED BROCCOLI & MEAT SAUCE
SERVES 4 PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME: 35 minutes During a recent sailing trip, I realized that I’d forgotten to purchase zucchini for the noodle bowls I was planning to prepare for the crew on the night before heading home. We were low on food, had been sailing...
SECRET STUFFED PEPPERS
MAKES 4 stuffed peppers (1 per serving) PREP TIME: 10 minutes, plus 24 hours to soak livers COOK TIME: 45 minutes What’s the secret? That there’s liver in here! But you can’t taste it, so eat on! That said, there is one trick: for the best flavor and texture, the...
CABBAGE & SAUSAGE WITH BACON
SERVES 4 PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME: 25 minutes Mexican-style chorizo is one of my favorites for this recipe, but you can use any type of sausage you like. If you go with chorizo, look for the fresh stuff, not the dry-cured Spanish style. 6 strips bacon (about 6...
SHRIMP CURRY
SERVES 4 PREP TIME: 15 minutes COOK TIME: 30 minutes Shave some time off this recipe by not pureeing the onion mixture. Simply skip Step 2 and, instead, add the coconut milk directly to the pan, then cook as instructed in Step 3. One less thing to clean! You can save...
CREAMY SPINACH ZUCCHINI BOATS
MAKES 8 boats (2 per serving) PREP TIME: 15 minutes COOK TIME: 30 minutes Even though there’s no muscle or organ meat in this dish, there’s plenty of protein in each serving thanks to the pork rinds and collagen. Don’t have collagen? Omitting it won’t change the...
