By now, we all know quinoa is a multi-talented superfood. This healthy grain is a star in everything from breakfast bowls to salmon cakes. Of course, while quinoa is now a staple ingredient in tons of different meals from breakfast to dessert, many of us Day-1 quinoa fans first fell in love with the grain as a rice substitute.

Whether it’s a side or a main ingredient, a zesty rice is an important part of any Mexican meal. As usual, quinoa is an excellent substitute for your favorite spicy rice mixes. I’ve started whipping up an easy and tasty batch of this Mexican quinoa with every meal that would usually send me reaching for a box of pre-packaged Spanish rice. Not only do I get to swap rice for all the health benefits of quinoa, but I can also cut back on tons of added sodium. It’s a win-win!

Of course, cilantro can be a pretty polarizing flavor. If you’re not a cilantro fan, no worries. The cilantro doesn’t bake with the chicken in this recipe, we just sprinkle it on top after. If cilantro isn’t your thing, feel free to just leave it off and enjoy a zesty lime chicken, sans cilantro.

Keto Dinner | Keto Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy

My earliest memory of Salisbury Steak was back when we were kids and we’d beg my mom, who cooked everything from scratch, to let us get frozen “TV dinners” as an occasional treat. They came in a disposable aluminum container that had little partitions with a protein, a starch (usually mashed potatoes – instant), a veggie like corn or peas, and a little square of dessert. Anyway, my favorite was the Salisbury steak – mostly because it came with the cherry pie which was my preferred dessert option.  The steak itself was basically a hamburger with gravy on it, which wasn’t nearly as offensive as the awful gelatinous round slices of fake turkey with gravy that my brothers usually got (they preferred the apple pie) so I didn’t really mind. In my opinion, the most important thing to keep in mind when using xanthan gum in a recipe, is that less is usually more. I almost always add it in 1/4 tsp increments, until I get the right consistency. Too much xanthan gum leads to an almost slimy, g...

Keto Dinner | Iceberg Wedge Salad Recipe

This amazing Iceberg Wedge Salad is probably one of the simplest salads you can make because you literally cut a head of lettuce into 4, drench it in some homemade dressing and throw on a bunch of toppings. And good grief its amazing. All those delicious toppings (talking about you, bacon) take it to next level. Perfect salad for lunch or side salad for dinner. I’ve been putting in a bit of an effort with my salad-eating habits. I usually prefer cold salads in the summer and warm roasted vegetables in the winter BUT will eat any salad put in front of my face at any time of year when someone else makes it. This basically means that it takes quite the amazing salad to convince me to make it when it’s freaking freezing outside. The Wedge Salad is a classic American restaurant salad that is as easy to make at home as it is delicious! Crunchy iceberg lettuce, crispy bacon and the quintessential wedge salad dressing: creamy-tangy blue cheese. Make Wedge Salad for a couple or a crowd in minut...
