Grab my printable keto cheat sheet system to make it easy. Is Cornstarch Keto Friendly? Sorry, cornstarch is not keto friendly. Like fresh corn on keto, it contains high carbohydrates per serving and can easily kick you out of ketosis. Is cornstarch low carb, though?

You see, when we head to this TexMex joint nearby, I’ll usually order fish tacos, a guacamole tostada, something reasonably healthy — reasonably — but when my ordering mindset is “screw it”? Taquitos, man. Deep-fried, super crunchy, queso-on-the-side taquitos. So when I stocked up on organic chickens on sale a little while back, I knew healthier, homemade taquitos had to be on the meal plan. Bonus points? You can totally go to town on a plate of taquitos one-handed, baby squirming in the other arm....

Marsala chicken may look impressive, but it’s surprisingly easy to make. Just like my sun dried tomato chicken similar to marry me chicken, zesty lemon chicken piccata, and creamy chicken Florentine, it’s made in one pan in less than 30 minutes. Despite the simple method, the chicken is juicy and tender, while the classic wine sauce makes it more than “just” a chicken dinner. What Is Chicken Marsala? Chicken Marsala is an Italian-American dish that consists of sauteed chicken cutlets in a Marsala wine mushroom sauce, sometimes with cream added....

Now that I’m a bit older–but personality still largely unchanged–my philosophy when it comes to truffles is simple: flavorful and anything but boring. When it comes to homemade truffles, they also have to be painfully simple, otherwise I am just totally out. My patience for properly rolling tiny candies is lacking, probably due to my underwhelming skill and, let’s face it, more general sense of impatience in life at large....

Couscous is a kind of semolina made out of steamed and dried durum wheat which is very popular in North African region. It has a beautiful nutty flavour and works as a wonderful replacement for rice and pasta. I stumbled upon a packet of couscous couple years back in a supermarket. I had no idea about this grain then. I had seen some recipe in some cookery show and I got a packet of it to give it a try....

This is actually kind of cheesy. That was my original intent: cheesy vegan cobbler, because who can resist cheesy baked up veggies topped with biscuits? But I’m always a little nervous about calling something cheesy because sometimes cheesy vegan stuff can be really bad. I probably have more cheesy recipes in the scrap pile than anything else, and that makes me nervous that putting cheesy in the title is going to scare folks off....

Korma was always one of my favorite Indian restaurant dishes to order when dining out. It was so creamy! So decadent! Creating a vegan version would be downright impossible, right? Wrong! When I finally became brave enough to start researching korma and entertaining the possibility of veganizing it, I was delighted to discover that while traditional versions do contain dairy, they don’t contain nearly as much dairy as I’d always though....

Breakfast potatoes What are breakfast potatoes? Breakfast potatoes are also known as home fries or house fries. They are often referred to as fried potatoes or even American fries. When we cook the potatoes, they get a little sweeter because they turn a nice golden color. We sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper on them to make them tastier. Also, we add some fresh thyme, which smells really nice and makes the potatoes even better....

I know right, you’ve been stir frying your dinners your whole life, what the heck could I possible teach you!? I mean it’s a valid question, but one I do hope to answer by the end of this post. A stir fry comes in many different shapes and sizes but for me, I’ve only got eyes for chicken noodle stir fry. A delicious chicken noodle stir fry for me, is the meaning of life....

It has chewy flat rice noodles, tender chicken strips, fragrant holy basil, and Thai chilies tossed in a salty, savory sauce. You can make drunken noodles with everyday Asian ingredients and sauces. There’s nothing fancy here, but it’s big on flavor. The Thai bird’s eye chili is one of the main ingredients, as the heat it brings makes it unique, and the Thai basil gives it a burst of freshness....

Is there anything better than lemony desserts in the spring? Most of the year I’m all about chocolate, but when the temperatures just start to warm up I start to crave things like lemon bars, lemon cake, and lemon cookies.

I’ve finally come up with what I think is the absolute best vegan lemon cupcake recipe ever....

Too late, we’ve gone with Tomato Peach Salad 😂 Follow me… Bring on the Beige! Salads are an opportunity to load in as many colourful ingredients as possible.
