Golden sausage, mushroom and goat cheese frittata 🍳 One skillet, stovetop to oven, and breakfast is sorted for days. Ingredients (serves 4): β€’ 8 oz (225 g) Italian sausage, casings removed (check the label for no added sugar) β€’ 6 oz (170 g) cremini mushrooms, sliced β€’ 2 big handfuls baby spinach β€’ 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced β€’ 1 tbsp butter β€’ 8 large eggs β€’ ΒΌ cup heavy cream β€’ 3 oz (85 g) goat cheese, crumbled β€’ Salt, cracked black pepper, fresh chives Method (follow the photos): 1. Heat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Melt the butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the sausage, breaking it into rough crumbles, 5–6 min. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden, about 4 min, then stir in the garlic and spinach just until wilted. 2. Whisk the eggs with the cream and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread the filling out, pour the eggs over, and dot with goat cheese. Cook 2 min on the stove until the edges just begin to set. 3. Bake 15–18 min, until puffed, golden and barely set in the middle. Rest 5 min. 4. Scatter over chives, cut into wedges and serve. About 4g net carbs per wedge. Tip: an oven-safe cast-iron skillet is the hero here. It goes straight from stovetop to oven and holds steady heat, so the edges turn golden while the center stays tender. πŸ”– Bookmark this for Sunday meal prep, it reheats beautifully all week.

Steakhouse dinner, about 4g net carbs, 30 min πŸ‘‡ Seared sirloin with blue cheese butter and roasted broccoli πŸ₯© A Sunday-night steak dinner without the restaurant bill. Ingredients (1 serving): β€’ 1 sirloin steak (about 8 oz / 225 g), 1 inch thick β€’ 1Β½ cups broccoli florets β€’ 1 tbsp olive oil, divided β€’ 1 tbsp soft butter β€’ 1 tbsp crumbled blue cheese, plus a little extra β€’ 1 tsp chopped chives β€’ Salt, cracked black pepper and flaky salt Method: 1. Heat the oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Toss the broccoli with half the oil and a pinch of salt, spread it out on a sheet pan, and roast 18–20 minutes until the edges char. 2. Mash the butter with the blue cheese and chives. Chill it while the steak cooks. 3. Pat the steak dry and season well with salt and pepper. Sear in the rest of the oil in a very hot skillet, 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. 4. Rest the steak 5 minutes, then slice against the grain. 5. Plate the steak with the broccoli, top with the blue cheese butter so it melts into the slices, and finish with flaky salt and a few extra crumbles. Tip: a rimmed sheet pan with plenty of space lets the broccoli roast instead of steam, so the florets get those crispy, nutty edges. πŸ”– Bookmark this for your next steak night. #keto #lowcarb

Creamy Thai green curry shrimp over cauliflower rice 🍀 Takeout flavor at home, one pan, about 20 minutes. Ingredients (1 serving): β€’ 6–7 large shrimp, peeled and deveined β€’ 1 tsp coconut or avocado oil β€’ 1–1Β½ tbsp Thai green curry paste (check the label for no added sugar) β€’ Β½ cup full-fat coconut milk β€’ Small handful green beans, cut in short pieces β€’ ΒΌ red bell pepper, thinly sliced β€’ 1 tsp fish sauce β€’ Squeeze of lime juice β€’ 1 cup cauliflower rice β€’ Thai basil or cilantro, a few chili slices, lime wedge Method: 1. Pat the shrimp dry. Sear in the hot oil 1 minute per side, then set aside. 2. In the same pan, fry the curry paste for 30–60 seconds until fragrant. 3. Stir in the coconut milk, green beans and pepper. Simmer 4–5 minutes until the beans are just tender. 4. Return the shrimp for 1–2 minutes until cooked through. Season with fish sauce and lime. 5. Meanwhile, sautΓ© the cauliflower rice 3–4 minutes in a dry nonstick pan so it stays fluffy. 6. Spoon the curry beside the cauliflower rice and finish with basil, chili and lime.

Sunday brunch energy, about 4g net carbs, 20 min πŸ‘‡ Prosciutto-wrapped asparagus with jammy eggs πŸ₯š Fancy-looking, barely any work, and one plate. Ingredients (1 serving): β€’ 8 asparagus spears, woody ends snapped off β€’ 4 thin slices prosciutto, halved lengthwise β€’ 1–2 large eggs β€’ 1 tbsp butter, melted β€’ 1 tsp olive oil β€’ 1 tsp fresh lemon juice + a little zest β€’ 1 tbsp shaved Parmesan β€’ Cracked pepper and flaky salt Method: 1. Heat the oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Wrap each spear in a strip of prosciutto, lay them on a sheet pan and brush with the olive oil. 2. Roast 10–12 minutes until the prosciutto is crisp at the edges and the asparagus is just tender. 3. Meanwhile, lower the eggs into boiling water and cook 6Β½ minutes, then move them straight to ice water for 2 minutes. Peel and halve. 4. Stir the lemon juice and zest into the melted butter. 5. Pile the asparagus on a plate, tuck the eggs alongside, spoon over the lemon butter, and finish with Parmesan, pepper and a pinch of flaky salt. Tip: a simple kitchen timer is the secret here. 6Β½ minutes gives a set white and a golden, jammy yolk every time, and just one extra minute turns it chalky. πŸ”– Save this for your next slow Sunday brunch. #keto #lowcarb

Gochujang butter chicken thighs with sesame cucumber 🌢️ Sticky-savory weeknight chicken, ready in about 30 minutes. Ingredients (2 servings): β€’ 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (about 1Β½ lb) β€’ 1 tbsp avocado oil, salt and pepper β€’ 2 tbsp butter β€’ 1Β½ tbsp gochujang β€’ 1 tsp sesame oil β€’ 1 tsp rice vinegar β€’ 1 tsp minced garlic β€’ Β½ English cucumber, thinly sliced β€’ 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds + sliced green onion Method: 1.

Toss the cucumber with a pinch of salt and the sesame seeds. 5. Plate two thighs with the glaze, pile the cucumber beside them, and finish with green onion. Tip: a silicone pastry brush paints the gochujang butter into every crease of the skin, so the glaze clings instead of sliding into the pan. πŸ”– Bookmark this for your next low-carb dinner.

Salty, charred and crisp, about 8g net carbs, 15 min πŸ‘‡ Grilled halloumi Greek salad with kalamata olives πŸ₯— A bright no-lettuce lunch bowl, on the table in 15 minutes. Ingredients (1 serving): β€’ 4 oz halloumi, cut into 3 thick slabs β€’ Β½ cup cucumber, cut into chunky half-moons β€’ 5 cherry tomatoes, halved β€’ ΒΌ green bell pepper, sliced β€’ A few thin slivers of red onion β€’ 6 kalamata olives β€’ 1Β½ tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided β€’ 1 tsp lemon juice, plus a lemon wedge β€’ Β½ tsp dried oregano, cracked pepper and fresh parsley Method: 1.

Pat the halloumi dry and brush with the remaining oil. 3. Heat a grill pan over medium-high until it just starts to smoke. 4. Grill the halloumi 2–3 minutes per side without moving it, until deep char lines form. 5. Lay the hot slabs over the salad, scatter parsley, add the lemon wedge and eat while the cheese is still soft. Tip: a ridged grill pan, preheated until it smokes, gives halloumi dark char lines and a crisp crust while the inside stays soft and squeaky. πŸ”– Bookmark this for your next low-carb lunch. #keto #lowcarb

Fluffy Denver omelette with ham and cheddar 🍳 A diner classic, done better at home in about 15 minutes. Ingredients (1 serving): β€’ 3 eggs β€’ 1 tbsp butter, divided β€’ 2 oz diced ham β€’ 2 tbsp diced green bell pepper β€’ 2 tbsp diced onion β€’ ΒΌ cup shredded sharp cheddar β€’ Salt, pepper and chives to finish Method: 1.

Tip: a flexible silicone spatula slips under the delicate edges, so the omelette folds cleanly instead of tearing. πŸ”– Save this for a slow weekend breakfast.
