This salmon and cabbage slaw is perfect for dinner or lunch and is fuss-free, healthy and ready in 20 minutes flat.

This Healthy Salmon and  Slaw is the ultimate fast and utterly delicious weeknight dinner. For a lighter alternative to mayo, I used yoghurt for the slaw dressing.

For a dairy-free option, I like to make this with coconut yoghurt.

This crispy pan-fried salmon and slaw is low in carbs, rich in healthy fats and high in protein.

Do you ever wonder what that white substance is when you cook salmon?

It’s called albumin. Often sited as happening when you cook at higher temperatures but trust me I’ve tried cooking at lower temperatures, using wild and farmed salmon, and it still does it sometimes.

If your salmon isn’t super fresh ie a few days old but still well within its sell-by date, it can still do it. For that reason, if you want pretty salmon, it’s best to pan fry, but feel free to roast if you prefer. Don’t worry though, if it happens to you, it’s perfectly safe to eat.

How To Make A Quick Slaw

For The Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened Greek or coconut yoghurt for dairy free
  • 1/2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt + pepper

For The Vegetables:

  • 1/2 cup red cabbage, shredded (35g)
  • 1 cup white cabbage, shredded (70g)
  • 1 small carrot, peeled + shredded (50g)
  • 1 scallion, finely sliced (15g)
  • 20g mangetout, thinly sliced 
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

Mix the slaw dressing together in a small bowl. Season to taste.

Add all the slaw vegetable ingredients to a mixing bowl and toss to combine with the dressing. Place in the fridge.

  • Option to bake in the oven on a greaseproof lined baking tray for 12 – 15 minutes. (375F / 190C) NOTE: oven roasting often results in the albumin releasing from the salmon (white substance you often see on salmon). This is perfectly safe to eat. Even cooking at low temperatures I find it does it so if you want pretty salmon my advice is to pan fry!

If you love bacon and cheese (hello comfort food classic) you’re going to love this Au Gratin Cauliflower, also known as a keto cheesy bacon cauliflower gratin.

You could even call it a low carb mac and cheese!

What’s different about it is that it uses thin slices of cauliflower, like a traditional gratin but instead of potato, I’ve used cauliflower to make it keto friendly.

au gratin

How to make a white sauce with cauliflower

This white/cream cheese sauce uses a medley of cheeses including cream cheese, mozzarella and parmesan for the best flavour and of course some cream to make the perfect sauce for the au gratin cauliflower.

To start, simply add to a pan:

  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp mustard
  • 2 tbsp water
  • Salt and pepper

Mix until combined using a spatula or hand balloon whisk. Reduce the heat to medium/ low and simmer until the sauce thickens.

Keto Cauliflower Au Gratin with heavy cream

Heavy cream (or just cream) can be used for the sauce, however, if you’re dairy-free, you might also consider using coconut cream (white part only) to make a similar sauce.

Everybody loves dairy, so if you can tolerate lactose, then heavy cream is the way to go! It tastes so delicious when combined with the bacon, onion and cauliflower in this Au Gratin Cauliflower recipe.

If you are able to eat potatoes, or you’re experimenting with metabolic flexibility, then definitely give this recipe a try also.

Tip

I used a mandoline to get cut the cauliflower nice and even. I also used smaller baby cauliflowers, but you can use a larger one and just break into large florets and slice. You can use the ends too so as not to waste them.

This prosciutto wrapped chicken recipe is a simple keto dish made using chicken thigh, wrapped in thin slices of prosciutto and baked in a creamy sauce. It’s very easy to make, and tastes delicious!

prosciutto wrapped chicken

Hey hungry readers, today I wanted to share a recipe that was a little less dessert based, and a little more suitable as a main meal. Don’t get me wrong, desserts are great, but recently I’ve been having less and less need for them.

So… I have simply started creating more (and better) main meals for the family! (win win)

Keto is all about higher fat, so using cream (and plenty of it) is such a delight. This cream sauce is made super flavour packed by adding chicken stock, black pepper, garlic and all the leftover juices from the pan-fried chicken and prosciutto.

Helpful Tips To Make Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken

  • Using chicken thighs with the skin removed allows the prosciutto to create a crunch around the chicken. Here in Australia at the supermarkets, we generally don’t buy chicken thighs with the skin on (or bones in). Leaving the skin off allows you to add more cream and tasty prosciutto without sacrificing too much of your fat macros.
  • Thinly sliced prosciutto is the best to use and to save a few extra dollars. I find it’s cheaper just to buy what you need (6 slices) as opposed to purchasing a full pack and having leftovers.
  • Frying in a non-stick frying pan helps keep the prosciutto attached to the chicken, otherwise, it tends to stick to cast iron pans (unless a lot of fat is used) due to the delicate nature of the meat.
  • I find thickened cream useful in this prosciutto-wrapped chicken recipe, mainly because it’s already thick and doesn’t need to be reduced for a long time on the stove, but also because it’s cheap here in Australia. You can use regular heavy whipping cream or pure cream if you desire, but you may want to simmer it a little longer before placing it into the oven.

Tip

Here in Australia, the supermarkets tend to sell chicken thigh with the skin removed. If you can’t find skinless chicken, just use the skin on – bone in kind, and cook to an internal temperature of 165F (73C). This will likely take longer than what is suggested in the recipe below.

Keto Recipes With Ground Beef

This week’s recipes are based around mince (also known as ground beef). Mince is a cheaper alternative to full cuts of meat like steak and loins, but the fat content makes it more appropriate to a ketogenic lifestyle.

Make sure when you purchase this from the shops to get the full-fat version, and not the lean style. Many of the essential vitamins and minerals come from the fat of the meat.

Please note grass-fed is much better than normal mince, usually containing 6 times more of the essential amino acids and vitamins.

Why not try adding some hummus?

I love having these meatballs with some hummus. I use the keto friendly hummus recipe linked here.

cheese meatballs with hummus

Nutrition is key to a Healthy Keto Lifestyle

Grass-fed doesn’t always mean that its hormone-free. Beef cattle are given a large number of hormones to speed up the process from calf to fully grown livestock. Try also to purchase hormone-free, organic beef. The extra cost is definitely outweighed by the benefits.

I have attempted to keep the ingredients fairly similar this week, which reflected nicely in my Sunday meal prep day. It usually takes me around 2 hours to make all 5 meals, and increasing the quantity (for a family) wouldn’t add that much extra time onto that.

So for 2 hours on a Sunday, I have lunches for the whole week, and sometimes even dinners! I’m not a big fan of eating the same meal 5 times a week. The diversity is not only better for your health, but it keeps your taste buds from wandering into sugar-land…

Having the same casserole or bulk food every meal of the day is my form of torture. It’s much cheaper and easier to eat in bulk, but the experience is far greater if diversification becomes routine.

Keep an eye out for the recipes over the coming days. I hope you enjoy them just as much as I enjoyed creating them!

This keto frittata recipe is a classic, well-rounded keto breakfast option. Alternatively, it can be cooked, divided into portions and stored in the fridge for the entire week. With only 3 net carbs per serving, this is just what you’ve been searching for.

Keto Frittata

I made this keto frittata in a cast iron skillet because it is safe at high temperatures and can be placed under the broiler (grill) in the oven. Any non-stick pan will work for this recipe, though. If your non-stick pan is not oven safe,  simply flip the frittata over once the bottom is done cooking and both sides will be perfect.

Keto Frittata

What Is A Keto Frittata?

According to Wikipedia, “Frittata is an egg-based Italian dish similar to an omelette or crustless quiche or scrambled eggs, enriched with additional ingredients such as meats, cheeses or vegetables. The word frittata is Italian and roughly translates to “fried.”

So, with that in mind, I kept this frittata to a simple ingredient list that combines to create a delicious, breakfast style dish.

Keto Frittata

Just look at those bell peppers, or what we call capsicums here in Australia, shine as they cook in the rendered bacon fat. Oh my gosh, so good!

Keto Frittata

Can This Frittata Be Made Dairy Free?

The only ingredient that makes this recipe not dairy free is Parmesan cheese. The Parmesan really only adds saltiness to the eggs, so it can be easily omitted or replaced to make the frittata dairy free. A great ingredient to replace the Parmesan with is nutritional yeast flakes, which not only adds a salty, cheesy taste to your dish, but also contains a good amount of B vitamins. Vegetarian and vegan dieters will be used to finding nutritional yeast in their local supermarkets.Keto Frittata

A typical serving of this recipe is actually a quarter of the entire pan, but I had to cut this version down a little to make it look fancy in the photos ;-). Don’t be fooled by the size of this serving. Yours will be much bigger!

Keto Meal Prep Breakfast Ideas

Keto frittata can be kept in the fridge and reheats very well. I always use glass containers such as these, which you can find at Ikea or any Coles or Woolworths here in Australia.

Glass is much better if you will be reheating this recipe. Plastic leaches out chemicals when heated in a microwave, so throw out your plastic meal prep containers and invest in a few glass ones.

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 150 g bacon 5 oz
  • 1/2 medium Brown Onion
  • 1/2 whole red capsicum sweet bell pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese 30g / 1 oz

  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese for top

Instructions

  • Heat a 20 cm (8-inch) skillet with the olive oil over medium heat. Dice the bacon, onion and capsicum (bell pepper) into chunks, and cook in the skillet until the bacon turns slightly golden. Season with the salt and pepper.
  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk the 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese with the eggs until well combined. Pour over the bacon mixture in the skillet and allow to cook until nearly set.
  • Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top of the skillet and place under the grill (broiler) for 4 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let the frittata cool and slice into portions. Keep portions in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days.

I made this keto frittata in a cast iron skillet simply because it can be placed under the broiler (grill) in the oven, but any non-stick pan will work for this recipe.

Can This Frittata Be Made Dairy Free?

The only ingredient that makes this recipe not dairy free is Parmesan cheese. If you look at how the recipe is made up, the Parmesan really only adds saltiness to the eggs. Another great ingredient to use is nutritional yeast flakes, which not only add a salty cheese taste to your dish but also contain a good amount of B vitamins.

Everyone loves my keto chocolate chip cookies recipe, so I wanted to do an experiment. Would these cookies make a great giant keto skillet chocolate chip cookie? Turns out they might be even better ??

Keto Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie Baking Tips

First, start off by mixing all of the dry ingredients together. I actually use Almond Meal (which you can buy from Coles and Woolworths), so it’s technically not called almond flour, but they must be very similar as this certainly doesn’t look like its got any husk left over from the almonds.

Next, you add in the chocolate chips once you’ve added in the butter, eggs and erythritol. It should be a slightly wet mixture. If the mixture is too hard at this stage, you can always experiment by adding a Tbsp of water at a time to loosen things up. You shouldn’t need to, but depending on the fat content in the almond flour you use, it might be a good alteration.

I love using my cast iron skillet. This is a 20cm version and its perfect for frying steaks, or anything that requires even constant heat. In this case, the cast iron acts as a great oven type material and cooks the cookie so evenly, it will make you want to cook everything in it!

Spreading out the cookie dough in the skillet requires a little patience, but I used a rubber spatula for this one, and it turned out great.

I mostly use Lilly’s Chocolate Chips when I can get them, however, if you live in Australia, simply cutting up Lindt 90% dark chocolate will work the trick, and its almost just as low carb as any unsweetened bakers chocolate out there.

This is what your keto skillet chocolate chip cookie should look like. I used some Keto Ice Cream to serve this cookie, and a drizzle of dark chocolate ganache (which is equal parts 90% Lindt dark chocolate and heavy whipping cream tempered to create a thick sauce).

Baking Tip!

I have used a 20cm (8 inch) well-seasoned skillet for this recipe. You can also line the skillet with strips of parchment paper if you are unsure about the seasoning of your skillet.
