KETO Broccoli & Cauli Casserole
This KETO Broccoli and Cauli Casserole is hands down my most favorite side I have made since on my KETO journey. I am a HUGE fan of broccoli and I am becoming a big fan of cauliflower so bringing the 2 together is perfect! Load it Up One the first side dishes I made when I started my KETO path was my Loaded Cauliflower Casserole. It is still one of my favorites and I make it often, but this Broccoli and Cauliflower Casserole is definately my new go to. To amp it up a bit I used sour cream, ranch seasoning and mayo. This combo adds a creaminess to…

Skillet Brussels Sprouts and Bacon
Skillet Brussels Sprouts and Bacon are the perfect quick side for dinner tonight. Literally can be ready in 20 minutes! KETO baby! I love this side not only because it is Brussels Sprouts (which I LOVE) but it is also KETO friendly, oh yeah and there is bacon. I mean I am not sure it can get any better than sprouts, bacon, butter and super quick and easy. PS… The flavor is AMAZING! One pan and done I love when a dish is made all in one pan, and this time was all about the skillet. First you fry up the cut up bacon and then quick sauté the sprouts…

Jalapeno & Cilantro Coleslaw
Truth time…I have never been a fan of coleslaw. I can actually count on one hand the number of times I have had coleslaw. When my Godmother said she was going to make some I was not super excited to say the least. Well… that all changed the minute I tasted it. Jalapeño & Cilantro Coleslaw is now one of my most favorite summer sides! It is all about the prep When SandyJones, my Godmother, said she was going to make coleslaw I just figured we would buy a bag of slaw and go from there…well I was WRONG. She bought a head of cabbage and cut that bad boy…

KETO Cauliflower Risotto
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE risotto. I love how decadent, rich and full of flavor it is. Traditional risotto (like this recipe) is not KETO friendly but when you use cauliflower rice it becomes VERY KETO friendly. One skillet is all you need The beauty of risotto is that it is typically made all on one pan. This makes it a perfect side dish for a busy weeknight or lazy weekend. This time around I went with a simple parmesan risotto but if you wanted to add in some mushrooms or bacon you would cook them in the skillet before you add in the cauliflower rice. This way the…

Loaded Cauliflower Casserole
Ok it is official I am a LOVER of Cauliflower. I love this Chicken and Cauliflower Casserole and the Mexican Cauliflower Rice but this loaded casserole is my FAVORITE! Roasting is key There are a ton of loaded cauliflower casseroles on pinterest and they all sound amazing but for me cauliflower is at its best when it is roasted. I love the little bits of charred cauliflower with the cheese and bacon in this casserole. The extra step of roasting adds another layer of flavor this already delicious casserole. Bacon, please A loaded casserole would not be loaded without the addition of bacon. Right? I mean the best loaded baked…

Keto Mexican Cauliflower Rice
Mexican food is my go to. I love chips and quest, enchiladas, fajitas, quesadillas, guacamole…all of it. Since I have started my KETO journey it has been a priority of mine to find yummy alternatives to fill my Mexican cravings and this Cauliflower Rice is perfect. A new way to rice Everywhere you look cauliflower rice is being talked about. People are using it in all sorts of recipes, some of which I cannot wait to try (so be on the look out). My first time to use cauliflower rice was in this amazing casserole and now I am obsessed with the mexican style side. It brings all the best…

Roasted Cauliflower Mash
This Roasted Cauliflower Mash has quickly become one of my most favorite sides. Growing up mashed potatoes were a staple on our table. My mom loved them and my grandmother loved them so anytime we could have them we would. Whether they were just the traditional recipe or something a little extra special like these Garlic Mashed Potatoes, it didn’t matter we loved them all and now I love this cauliflower version (trust me I cannot believe I just said that out loud). Roasting is key To really amp up the flavor in this Cauliflower Mash I roasted the cauliflower prior to mashing it. Roasting it really helps to add…

Bacon Brussels Sprouts
A side dish can truly make or break a meal…but this quick Bacon Brussels Sprouts dish will make any meal AMAZING! Super Easy The beauty of this side is with a few simple ingredients and one pan you can create a side that everyone is sure to love…even those that are not big brussels sprouts fans. To amp up the flavor I cooked the sprouts in the bacon grease which not only helped to caramelize them perfectly but also added a ton of bacon-y (it’s a word I promise) goodness to each bite. It also meant that everything was cooked in the same pan, making clean up even easier! FYI…If…

Garlic Butter Asparagus
OK…I am not going to lie to you and tell you I love asparagus…but everyone in my family does and they LOVE this Butter Garlic Asparagus. Quick and Easy I am a big sides girl. I have been known to only eat the sides, especially around the holidays. Growing up my mom always made the best sides. Whether it was a potato dish (like these mashed potatoes), a veggie (like these brussels sprouts) dish, or even a rice dish she always made it delicious. One thing I always loved about my moms side dishes is that they were always fast, and this asparagus is super fast. All…

Balsamic Brussels Sprouts
As you all know I am a BIG, BIG fan of Brussels Sprouts. I love them roasted, with a hint of lemon, love them crispy, I even love them raw and in salads. This version though is a new FAVORITE and I have already made them 2 times since I first made them….they are that good. A little tangy surprise I am all about a little tang. I love how it awakens my taste buds and gets me excited for the next bite. One of my favorite ways to bring a little tang into a dish is with balsamic vinegar…it is just so good. I use a balsamic reduction (much like…
