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…
SHREDDED MOJO PORK WITH AVOCADO SALAD
SERVES 4 PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME: 45 minutes or 4 to 6 hours, depending on method Generally, I just cook pork shoulder in vegetable broth and eat it plain. Yeah, I’m boring. But, with a little spice and a simple salad to accompany it, you can transform pork…
BREADED SHRIMP SALAD
SERVES 4 PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME: 7 minutes This salad couldn’t be easier to whip up. And the combination of the almond flour coating, the coconut oil used for frying, and the chipotle mayo dressing makes for one heck of a fat-bomb salad! Before beginning the…
OPEN-FACED TACOS

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…
