One Skillet and Done! I am a SUCKER for one skillet dinners. There is just something so satisfying about having just a few things to clean-up after cooking a whole meal for dinner.

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.
