DINNER
TAPENADE
SERVES 6 PREP TIME: 5 minutes COOK TIME: — I could live on tapenade. In fact, while writing this book, I nearly did! Amazing on its own or with celery sticks, pepperoni slices, or pork rinds, it makes the perfect midday snack or light meal. This recipe calls for only...
SAUTÉED ASPARAGUS WITH LEMON-TAHINI SAUCE
SERVES 4 PREP TIME: 5 minutes COOK TIME: 10 minutes This recipe is awesome as a snack or as a side to your favorite protein dish. It is also great made with broccoli instead of asparagus. The sauce is so good; don’t be afraid to double or triple the recipe and use it...
CRUNCHY JICAMA FRIES
SERVES 4 PREP TIME: 5 minutes COOK TIME: 40 minutes I was introduced to jicama during a special trip to Las Vegas, where Kevin proposed to me! After my nerves had calmed down a touch, we went out for a laid-back vegan dinner; I was vegan at the time, and I ordered...

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...
