We eat with our eyes! Sure, these roll-ups can be eaten without being cut into fun sushi slices, but my kids appreciate the little extra time it takes to make food cute. Plus, I get the bonus of eating the end pieces that are not perfect sushi shapes!
Rich and hearty, this savory pork sauce has enough fat to balance tomatoes, carrots, onions, and zucchini noodles.
I know that summer is nearly over when I feel the urge to make this tomato sauce. In my mother’s kitchen, it was a Sunday ritual but not an all-day ordeal. Our family’s traditional red sauce cooks for about an hour, just long enough for the tomatoes to absorb the flavors of the meatballs and sausage.
The vegetables are the stars of the show, so use the freshest you can find the no-cook approach will celebrate their ripe flavor.
This recipe makes a lot of pork belly, but it’s great to slice up, freeze, and use later for easy dinners. After a busy day, it’s nice to be able to take one serving out of the freezer, fry it until crispy on all sides, and serve it with kimchi.
When I was in high school, I worked at a restaurant called High View, which was on an adorable fishing lake. We always served clam chowder on Friday nights. I still love clam chowder, so I made a ketogenic clam chowder with browned butter and bacon!
Sometimes I miss pasta! While I am not your typical Italian (I am not a huge pasta fanatic), there are moments where noodles can be a wonderful comfort food. Making healthy ketogenic noodles has been a bit of a holy grail of the keto world. Most of the recipes out there are great, but they all contain some form of dairy. This recipe has no dairy and it is very rich in good protein and fiber. The texture resembles a good whole-grain noodle and it can be used both with sauces and in a soup.
