With crisp bacon and juicy tomatoes, this BLT stuffed avocado has all the best parts of the sandwich, with a boost of healthy fats and fiber — minus the bread! Similar to an avocado baked egg and BLT salad, we’re filling the avocado shell with protein and toppings to make this dish a filling meal. This is one of my favorite avocado keto recipes, but I also have 10 more stuffed avocado recipes loaded with delicious toppings below....

Creamed spinach is one of those love-it-or-hate-it foods. I always thought I fell into the latter category, but when I figured out how to make creamed spinach at home, I discovered it’s absolutely delicious. Although it tastes similar to the creamy stuffing and sauce in spinach stuffed chicken breast or chicken florentine, this easy side also makes a perfect addition to steak dinners, Thanksgiving menus, or Christmas meals. If you or your family are on the fence about it, I hope this easy creamed spinach recipe with cream cheese will convert you, too!...

It’s hard to believe these keto churros are sugar-free! They are just as sweet and crispy as the real deal, but yes, they are keto. The coating is similar to my popular keto donuts, but the crispy texture is very different. Serve them up hot and fresh and with a side of keto chocolate sauce for the ultimate dessert. For a full Mexican meal (my fave!), serve these low carb churros as a dessert after a spread of chips and guac, skinny margaritas, and your fave keto tacos....

Low carb condiments are some of the hardest to find, particularly if you care about natural ingredients and want something affordable. That’s why I often make my own!

And unlike many homemade mayonnaise recipes, this one has almost no cleanup at all! I love mixing it into recipes like keto chicken salad....

Next time you’ve got a pizza craving (weekly for anyone else?!), you’ve got to give this keto chaffle pizza recipe a try! It’s similar to my cheese crust pizza, yet has all the extra crunch from cooking in a waffle maker. While some chaffles taste eggy, I’ve perfected a version that has a texture more like a crisp waffle. This pizza chaffle is seasoned with Italian seasoning and then topped with pizza toppings for a quick version of a keto pizza....

One of my favorite things ever is showing you super simple staples for busy weeknight dinners… like this lemon baked cod fish recipe. Let me show you how to bake cod that’s tender, flaky and super easy. Not only does the simple lemon butter sauce impart major flavor, but this recipe for oven baked cod is ready in only 20 minutes (just as quick as Cajun grilled cod!). Lemon and butter work so well with fish, and if you love the flavors of this baked cod recipe with lemon butter, try the same combo in pan fried tilapia, pan seared halibut, or baked salmon....

Flavorful keto jambalaya with cauliflower rice, sausage, and shrimp is here for all of your Cajun food cravings! Betcha thought we couldn’t do cajun low carb, didn’t you?

As I made another batch of my favorite low carb keto ranch dressing this past weekend, I noticed that somehow I missed Wholesome Yum’s blog-iversary recently! No idea how that happened. Wholesome Yum started as an innocent little hobby just two years ago, and now… well, here we are. It has transformed into a real business that I absolutely love. Keto Ranch Dressing for My Blog-iversary You guys, I’m still totally floored by all your support....

I’d heard of reverse searing steak before, but recently I finally decided to experiment with it, after a friend mentioned it recently at one of our “gymnastics and wine” nights (after our kids’ gymnastics class, they play and we drink wine… and it’s as awesome as it sounds!). After hours of research on how to reverse sear a steak in the oven, and of course a few tests with the best steak seasoning ever, I’ve perfected the technique....

This sugar free strawberry jam is thickened with chia seeds, which gives it great texture as well as a nutrition boost. And best of all, you can make this chia seed jam with just TWO ingredients (plus a couple of optional ones). I served this keto strawberry jam on 90 second bread, but any kind would be delicious....

This traditional Greek salad recipe, which is traditionally called horiatiki salad, is a favorite of mine! This was my go-to when I worked in an authentic Greek restaurant in college.
