BALSAMIC SHALLOT PORK CHOPS
MAKES: 4 servings · PREP TIME: 10 minutes · COOK TIME: 25 minutes There is something so delicious about a sauce made right in the pan. It catches all the delicious flavors from every stage of cooking to create one bold explosion of flavor. This sauce is also amazing...
EASY CUBAN PICADILLO
MAKES: 8 servings · PREP TIME: 10 minutes · COOK TIME: 25 minutes Picadillo is one of those dishes that every person makes differently, but I have yet to try a version I didn’t love. Many traditional versions of picadillo contain raisins. For that same subtle...

MAKES: 4 servings · PREP TIME: 10 minutes I seriously love Caesar salad. In fact, I almost always have one when we dine out. Minus the croutons, they are typically keto-friendly no matter where you order them. Often I order a large Caesar salad as my entree and add...
BACON-WRAPPED AVOCADO FRIES
MAKES: 5 servings (4 fries per serving) · PREP TIME: 15 minutes · COOK TIME: 25 minutes It doesn’t get much simpler than a recipe with just two main ingredients. And it doesn’t get much more delicious than when those two ingredients are bacon and avocados. For this...
