ONE-INGREDIENT KETO TACOS

By
one-ingredient keto tacos

These one-ingredient keto tacos are perfect to have for #TacoTuesday! You’ll only need some cheddar cheese and your favorite taco toppings.

One taco shell has a total of 1 gram net carbs.

The one ingredient you’ll need for these tacos

Yes, you can create a delicious taco with just one ingredient: cheddar cheese. There are some tips I’d like to give you when choosing a cheddar cheese because not all of them are equal when it comes down to the ingredients. Natural cheddar cheese isn’t orange, it usually has some colorant added to it, to make it look more appealing. But some colorants are not harmful, and some are.

Stay clear of cheddar cheese that has artificial coloring listed in the ingredient list like tartrazine (aka Yellow No 5). This is a food dye often used in food products in the U.S. (luckily in Europe this food dye is banned). It’s linked to multiple health issues and even cancer, so check the ingredient list when shopping for cheddar cheese.

Natural food coloring can be listed as Annato or Beta Carotene. These are coming from natural sources such as the seeds of the achiote tree or carrots.

EASY KETO SOFT-BAKED COOKIES

By
easy keto-friendly cookies

It doesn’t have to take too much to create a delicious easy keto-friendly cookie. These easy keto soft-baked cookies are such a nice treat and are ready within 20 minutes at only 3 grams of net carbs per cookie.

These cookies were one of the first treats I made when I started the ketogenic lifestyle. I was very much hooked on sugary treats and these saved me from my cravings. They are also perfect to make with kids.

The ingredients for the keto soft-bakes cookies

Almond flour: The main flour for this keto soft-baked cookie is almond flour which makes these cookies gluten-free and keto-friendly.

Coconut oil: for coconut oil, I prefer to use extra virgin coconut oil.

Granulated erythritol: to make these cookies nice and sweet, I used erythritol which is a keto-friendly sugar substitute with a glycemic index of zero. This means this sugar will not cause a spike in your blood sugar or knock you out of ketosis.

Coconut milk: In this recipe, I use coconut milk, but you can use any other keto-friendly nut milk. Unsweetened almond milk, macadamia milk, hazelnut milk, or walnut milk.

Vanilla extract: For extra flavor, I added vanilla extract. You can add in any other of your preferred extract.

KETO CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

By
keto chocolate mousse

Sometimes you just want something nice and sweet, that is keto-friendly but also doesn’t take you hours to prepare in the kitchen. Well, this recipe will set you up with just that. This keto-friendly chocolate mousse is super delicious and ready in no time!

One serving has only 2 grams of net carbs.

The ingredients for this keto chocolate mousse

Heavy cream: When choosing a heavy cream make sure it’s unsweetened, organic, and preferably from grass-fed, grass-finished cows. This way you avoid the added sugars, antibiotics, and GMO crops that are fed to these animals which in turn can harm your health.

Raw cacao powder: Raw cacao powder is unsweetened and in the purest form. This way, you can avoid any extra additives that are often found in most chocolate.

Powdered erythritol: I like to use erythritol as a sweetener for my keto recipes. You can also replace this sweetener with any other keto-friendly sweetener of your likings like monk fruit or stevia. Make sure to use a powdered (or liquid stevia) form, this prevents the mousse to taste kind of ‘crunchy’.

The flavoring: To give the chocolate butter mousse some extra flavor, I added vanilla extract. You can choose to leave this ingredient out, but I prefer to use it since it gives it a more delicious taste.

KETO BRESILIENNE NUTS

By
keto bresilliene nuts

For these keto bresilienne nuts, you’ll only need three ingredients, and 1/4 cup has a total of 4 grams of net carbs.

If you ever had bresilienne pie, chances are you also had bresilienne nuts. And I bet, if you’re Belgian, like me, you’ve probably had it before.

While the regular bresilienne nuts are made with hazelnuts and caramelized sugar, there are very high in carbs and can cause a blood sugar spike. So how can you still enjoy these sweet chopped nuts without the sugar spike? – Replacing the caramelized sugar with erythritol!

Erythritol has a glycemic index of zero and has the same sweetness as sugar. The best part is that you can also caramelize it and use it to glaze hazelnuts, giving you delicious tasting keto-friendly bresilienne nuts.

You can use these keto bresilienne nuts as a topping for bresilienne pie, or add them to some ice cream, keto peanut butter mousse, or on top of your morning Greek Yoghurt.

The ingredients for the keto bresilienne nuts

Blanched hazelnuts: It’s important to use blanched hazelnuts, which means the peel is already baked off, preventing little bits of peel remaining in the bresilliene nuts. You can also use hazelnuts that are already chopped and roasted. In this case, you can skip the step of using a food processor to chop up the caramelized whole hazelnuts.

Brown erythritol: I used brown erythritol in this recipe, but you can also use regular white erythritol. Make sure it’s granulated, not powdered.

By
keto stuffed cabbage rolls

These keto stuffed cabbage rolls are so easy to prepare and they taste absolutely delicious. The combination of cabbage, tasty tomato sauce, and ground meat is a match made in heaven.

Although this dish may look like it’s complicated to prepare, it really isn’t and I’m sure this will become one of your favorites for a nice family dinner.

The ingredients for the keto stuffed cabbage rolls

Canned tomatoes: for the canned tomatoes I choose organic crushed tomatoes. You could use fresh tomatoes you cook and crush yourself and add some salt, but to keep it convenient I chose to use organic crushed tomatoes from a can.

Spices: I used salt, black pepper, paprika powder, ground cumin, and chili powder in the tomato sauce. If you like your tomato sauce spicy, you can add in more chili powder. I like it medium-spicy, so I used a small amount of chili powder to get a hint of spice, but not have our mouths on fire.

Ground meat: in this recipe, I used ground pork. But you can use any ground meat of your preference.

Calories: 448kcal

Ingredients

For the sauce

For the stuffed cabbage rolls

To garnish

  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • some fresh cilantro

Instructions

Start with making the sauce

  • In a medium-sized pot or pan, melt the coconut oil on medium heat. Cook the garlic and onion for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes, the listed spices, and stir. Let it cook for another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and set it aside.

Prepare the stuffed cabbage rolls.

  • In a large pot, bring water to a boil, turn down to medium heat and cook the cabbage for 20 minutes.
  • In the meantime season the ground meat. Add the meat to a bowl and season with salt, black pepper, cumin, chili powder, and oregano. Mix everything together by hand.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F or 180 °C.
  • Place the cooked cabbage on a cutting board and take a leaf. Remove the stem of the cabbage to smoothen the surface (see photo), which makes it easier to roll them up.
  • Layout a leaf, so it looks like a bowl, and add some seasoned ground meat.
  • Bring the outer right and left side inwards and roll up the bottom into a roll.
  • Place the rolls into a baking dish.
  • Cover the rolls with the tomato sauce and cover the baking dish with tin foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.

To garnish

  • Remove the dish from the oven and garnish with sour cream and some chopped-up cilantro.
