KETO Loaded Fried “Rice”
I have been craving Chinese food A LOT lately. My typical go to is a loaded fried rice, I just love all the flavors and textures together in each bite. On my KETO journey a traditional fried rice is not going to work but this KETO Loaded Fried Rice is perfection! Making it KETO friendly Obviously, as I said above, a traditional fried rice would not work on a KETO friendly menu, so to make it KETO friendly I am using cauliflower rice. It has a very similar texture to traditional rice but with just a few carbs. I also love it because it cooks up SUPER fast and will…

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…

Easy Fried Rice
One of my favorite take out items is fried rice. I love it loaded with veggies, with chicken, with beef, or just plain. There are so many options you really can make it work for any meal. All in one skillet The beauty of this Easy Fried Rice is that it is all made in one skillet. You start with the veggies and end with the rice. If you wanted to add in chicken you could, just chop it up into small pieces and add it in with the butter and olive oil. Cook it until just about done and then add in the veggies and continue from…

Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Is there anything better than a casserole on a busy weeknight? In my world I am all about a super easy casserole any time, but especially on those busy nights. Even better when it is an enchilada casserole! All in one… One of the best things about a casserole is the fact that everything is all packed into on dish. There are typically fewer pans to clean up, it serves a lot of people and there is something just so comforting about a casserole. This enchilada version is all that and more. There is chicken, beans, rice, cheese and a little heat in each bite, just like your favorite enchiladas.…

a perfect side for Taco Tuesday (or Monday, Wednesday…or any day)
Taco Tuesday is here!! For me this is definately a favorite. I love, love, love anything with a Mexican/Tex-Mex flair, so a whole day devoted just to tacos sounds like a perfect day. It is so much more than just tacos I know tacos should be the star of Taco Tuesday but to me the sides are just as important (if not even more). I love the chips, the salsa, the queso (like this one) and of course the beans and rice. Now I am all about the more traditional Red Rice but I am obsessed this Cilantro Lime Rice. It is AMAZING! So much flavor in so…
