Image

Pesto Zucchini Noodles

Image
Pesto Zucchini Noodles Serves 4 / Prep time: 15 minutes The pesto recommended for this pretty side is the kale version found on page 131 .  Kale is touted as a super food for good reason, since this leafy green is very high in fiber, calcium, and vitamins A, C, and K.  Kale helps lower cholesterol and reduces your risk for several cancers as well as boosting the immune system and detoxing the body. INGREDIENTS :- 4 small zucchini, ends trimmed ¾ cup Herb Kale Pesto (page 133) ¼ cup grated or shredded Parmesan cheese RECIPE :- 1. Use a spiralizer or peeler to cut the zucchini into “noodles” and place them in a medium bowl. 2. Add the pesto and the Parmesan cheese and toss to coat. 3. Serve. PAIRS WELL WITH :- This is a light side dish that is ready in an instant but packs a great deal of flavor.  Try a simply flavored entrée to complement the freshness of the zucchini noodles, such as Pan-Seared Halibut with Citrus Butter Sauce  or Rosemary-Garlic Lamb Racks  . ...

Mushrooms with Camembert

Image
Mushrooms with Camembert Serves 4 / Prep time: 5 minutes / Cook time: 15 minutes Mushrooms have an interesting, almost meaty texture, and they tend to soak up all the flavorings in a recipe.  Mushrooms are very high in vitamin D, the only vegetable source of this nutrient, and are an excellent source of potassium and selenium.  Mushrooms can help reduce your cravings for sweet foods and help prevent spikes in blood sugar that can cause overeating. INGREDIENTS :- 2 tablespoons butter 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1 pound button mushrooms, halved 4 ounces Camembert cheese, diced Freshly ground black pepper RECIPE :- 1. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. 2. Sauté the garlic until translucent, about 3 minutes. 3. Sauté the mushrooms until tender, about 10 minutes. 4. Stir in the cheese and sauté until melted, about 2 minutes. 5. Season with pepper and serve. PAIRS WELL WITH :- A somewhat elegant dish like these cheesy mushrooms deserves to be matched with...

Sautéed Crispy Zucchini

Image
Sautéed Crispy Zucchini Serves 4 / Prep time: 15 minutes/ Cook time: 10 minutes Anyone who has eaten a grilled cheese sandwich or picked the crispy edges off of a lasagna knows how incredible these cheesy bits taste.  That rich golden crisp cheese is what you end up with on your sautéed zucchini when you prepare this recipe.  The trick is to let the ingredients sit in the skillet after you add the cheese so it has the chance to melt and lightly caramelize before stirring. INGREDIENTS :- 2 tablespoons butter 4 zucchini, cut into ¼-inch-thick rounds ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Freshly ground black pepper RECIPE :- 1. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. 2. Add the zucchini and sauté until tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. 3.

Cheesy Mashed Cauliflower

Image
Cheesy Mashed Cauliflower Serves 4 / Prep time: 15 minutes / Cook time: 5 minutes Mashed potatoes might be one of the foods you miss when starting your keto experience, but take heart because this lower-carb version is pretty close to its fluffy counterpart.  The cheese, cream, and butter add lots of flavor and a certain creamy feel to the mashed cauliflower, and create a wonderful base for other variations.  Try mashed roasted garlic in your cauliflower mash for a truly sublime side dish. INGREDIENTS :- 1 head cauliflower, chopped roughly ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese ¼ cup heavy (whipping) cream 2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature Sea salt Freshly ground black pepper RECIPE :- 1. Place a large saucepan filled three-quarters full with water over high heat and bring to a boil. 2. Blanch the cauliflower until tender, about 5 minutes, and drain. 3.

Creamed Spinach

Image
Creamed Spinach Serves 4 / Prep time: 10 minutes / Cook time: 30 minutes Creamed vegetables, spinach in particular, have been around for several thousand years, although in the past several years, yogurt was often used in the sauce instead of heavy cream.  The finished dish is comforting and perfect for large potluck events when you need to bring something to contribute.  If you want to cut some of the calories from the recipe, swap out the heavy cream for evaporated milk, but keep in mind that also changes the keto macro. INGREDIENTS :- 1 tablespoon butter ½ sweet onion, very thinly sliced 4 cups spinach, stemmed and thoroughly washed ¾ cup heavy (whipping) cream ¼ cup Herbed Chicken Stock (page 141) Pinch sea salt Pinch freshly ground black pepper Pinch ground nutmeg RECIPE :- 1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter. 2. Sauté the onion until it is lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. 3. Stir in the spinach, heavy cream, chicken stock, salt, pepper, and nutmeg...

Garlicky Green Beans
