This keto cream cheese frosting recipe was originally published on February 17, 2018, and was republished in December 2019 to add better photos and better tips. If you’re curious, here’s one of the original photos: Is Cream Cheese Frosting Keto? No, regular cream cheese frosting is not keto because it contains sugar. (Lots of sugar.) Traditional cream cheese frosting is pretty much the opposite of low carb. Fortunately, it’s actually very easy to make keto cream cheese frosting without powdered sugar....

For a long time there the idea of a vegan marshmallow sweet potato casserole was but a mere dream for most of us. Because: marshmallows. Let’s set aside the challenge of making an eggless and dairy-free sweet potato casserole for a moment and just consider the fact that marshmallows are generally not vegan. In fact, they’re not even vegetarian! Most of the marshmallows you see at the store are made with gelatin....

Anyone else finding themselves doing a lot of baking lately? I know I’ve been enjoying baking while stuck at home, and it’s been fun, but at this point my freezer is at maximum capacity with sweets. It’s time for something savory! So I decided to switch things up and bake some olive rosemary focaccia. This is a fun one to make while you’re home, and it goes great with a big bowl of soup....

I have many versions or rice and beans that I cook up in my kitchen on a regular basis, and I’ve shared a few of them on this site, including my Cuban rice and beans, spicy vegan jambalaya, and of course my one-pot Spanish rice and beans. The latter in particular has become a real reader favorite around here, so I decided to share something similar, but this time it’s Mexican rice and black beans....

2017 is in the books, and it was a massive year for me! I got to quit my job to be full-time for 40 Aprons, I traveled to Europe with my mom to celebrate our respective 30th and 60th birthdays, and I settled into the way of eating I hope to continue for the rest of our lives. So looking back, these are my best paleo recipes of 2017… according to you!...

Most of the time, inspiration comes moderately: an idea for a fall recipe when I’m watching Leo run through the sprinkler, a take on an Easter dish when I’m shopping for Valentine’s Day cards, a twist on a family favorite when I’m meal planning for the week. I try to plan ahead, spend plenty of time thinking about seasonal tastes, making lists upon lists of recipes I can’t wait to make....

Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for cooking patty pan squash, what each one does in my recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card. Patty Pan Squash – If you’re not familiar with this summer vegetable, it’s a flying saucer shaped squash that tastes a lot like zucchini, but a bit sweeter. I often see it at farmers markets in July and August, but grocery stores have it, too....

Half the time, I end up eating some augmented instant ramen, whisking in sesame oil and fresh ginger to boiling water, plopping a few faux chicken broth cubes in with the whole mix. Poaching an egg, maybe, and leaving it at that. At least I throw out the little foil packet of God-knows-what.. aren’t you proud? Or foraging for leftovers, wondering if it’s actually nutritionally acceptable to eat couscous as your side dish to pizza....

For more details about chaffles, check out my complete guide to chaffles, that also includes FIVE different chaffle recipes to try — both sweet and savory options. You can also try my standalone chocolate chaffle recipe. In these chaffles, a small amount of ingredients goes a long way, but each one matters! In particular, Wholesome Yum Almond Flour and Psyllium Husk Powder give the chaffle crust the perfect amount of bready, chewy texture, without the extra carbs!...

Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for my poached salmon, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card. How To Poach Salmon I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card. Make sure you have the right amount of liquid. It should go up the sides of the pan about 1/2- to 3/4-inch high....

It officially feels like spring, at least here in the northeast, and when spring arrives, the internet explodes with recipes for eggy things. I guess that means it’s brunch season (it is), and even though I’m a little bummed to see winter go (because I’m weird like that), I can certainly get behind brunch. This vegan quiche is one of my favorite brunch recipes! Ingredient Notes I have a few magical ingredients for making vegan dishes that resemble eggs!...

Asparagus season has arrived and I’m so ready! I love my winter comfort food, but by the time spring arrives I’m always looking forward to all the veggies that come with warm weather. Asparagus is one of the first of those veggies to show up every year, which is a big reason why it gets me so psyched up…along with the fact that it’s DELICIOUS! These vegan puff pastry packets are a great way to use that delicious early spring asparagus....

What Makes This Recipe So Good This is one of my most-missed foods from when I lived in Texas! Ranch style beans are a classic Texas recipe and even though I’ve been in Tennessee for a while now, I still get cravings for this dish. It’s that good!It’s a hearty, chili-esque recipe that makes a great side dish for Mexican or TexMex recipes, but is absolutely substantial enough to serve as its own meal!...

We mostly enjoyed it as a dal (curried lentils) with rice or roti. Sometimes my mother also used to make cheela (Indian pancakes) with it. I never had it in any other form. As a soup, I tried it for the first time in Dubai when I ordered Lebanese red lentil soup in a restaurant. To be honest, I didn’t like it much then as my taste buds were more used to a more flavorful combination of red lentils with fried garlic, cumin seeds, and green chilies (my mother tempers red lentils with these ingredients)....

How to serve? You can enjoy this classic Greek rice pudding hot, warm, at room temperature, as well as chilled. I have already shared a couple of rice pudding recipes on my blog like Indian phirni, mango phirni, gur wali kheer, and Lebanese riz bi haleeb. Today I am sharing the recipe for a Greek rice pudding called rizogalo. Rizi is the Greek word for rice and gala is for milk and these are the two main ingredients of this traditional Greek dessert recipe....

Look at how browned and crispy and tender and ooh, the browned butter and ooh, the lemon zest and fresh thyme! Roasted radishes, say what?! The first time I heard about roasting radishes–yes, radishes–I was like, ha ha ha you’ve done lost your mind ha ha never. And then I went keto. I didn’t do it for too long (I began fantasizing about all-you-can buffets of broccoli. Broccoli!), but I decided to serve up roasted radishes as a side dish for a chimichurri flank steak I made for company....

What Makes This Recipe So Good You’ll never believe just how juicy and tender pork tenderloin turns out when it’s cooked in a sous vide… not until you try it, at least! Because the tenderloin is cooked in a vacuum-sealed bag that’s submerged in a temperature-controlled water bath, it’s cooked evenly on all sides at all times. The pork’s natural juices are locked in during the entire cook time, too, so there’s no risk at all of it drying out....

Confession: I was a late coconut butter bloomer. That’s a thing in the paleo world, I’m pretty sure. But you see, when I’d come across coconut butter or coconut manna in the stores in the past, I wasn’t totally convinced that it was worth the cost. And I wasn’t even 100% sure it was, to be quite honest… I assumed it was like cocoa butter: solid and rich and expensive, used only here and there....

What Is Sex in a Pan? A sex in a pan dessert recipe typically contains layers of instant chocolate pudding, instant vanilla pudding, sweetened cream cheese, whipped cream or cool whip, and a crunchy pecan bottom crust. It became popular in the 70s — and for that reason, you might also know it as “Robert Redford dessert”! I dare you to make recipes for sugar free desserts with these ingredients — you won’t know the difference from the real thing!...
