Now that I’ve seen the final book in print—and am, no joke, cooking from it every single week—I’m even more excited for you to have your copy. Remember that if you preorder the book before publication day (August 25th), I’ll email you an exclusive recipe bundle with extra recipes that went through the same rigorous testing process as the ones in the cookbook. These recipes aren’t in the book or on my blog....

Spatchcocking is a method of preparing a turkey by removing its backbone and spreading it flat for cooking. Also called “butterflying,” spatchcocking is a common preparation method for chicken, and it works fantastically for turkey too. Benefits of Spatchcocking While Classic Roast Turkey looks the most Norman Rockwell-esque on a platter, spatchcocking turkey has serious advantages over whole roast turkey. More Surface Area for Crispy Skin. Since the bird is laid flat, all of the skin is on the top, where it’s more directly exposed to heat, giving you more golden, crispy skin....

Want a refreshing drink to cool down that isn’t too high in calories? Look no further than this cold and creamy, ice cream-free strawberry milkshake!...

I went through a Major Smoothie Phase after college, stocking my refrigerator and pantry with all manners of pricey “super foods.” I thought that unless I made smoothies with exotic fruits, fancy bulk section buys, and dark-green powders with long names, my smoothies “didn’t count.” Ummm…where did I get this idea?! Whole fruits and vegetables like strawberries and spinach not only make for easy smoothies that taste fantastic, these smoothies are super healthy for you too!...

Still, I love meat and would more often than not choose something with meat in it. If you like stuffed vegetables and you love meat, you will really appreciate this recipe. So far these are likely the best stuffed tomatoes I have ever tasted. Not only do they taste really good, they are quite lean and healthy. Even the sauce is on the healthier side, though it doesn’t taste like it is....

This may not come as a shock to you, but I am definitely one of the “next meal” people. And next snack. I even sometimes fall asleep at night thinking about what I’m having for breakfast the next day. When you have something as delicious as high-protein overnight oatmeal that tastes like a sugar cookie waiting for you in the refrigerator, it’s easy to do! About These Overnight Oats This high-protein oatmeal recipe is essentially classic overnight oats, with a few simple tweaks to make them extra high in protein, and, I must say, extra tasty too....

I make this fresh, homemade low carb keto cranberry sauce recipe for Thanksgiving every year. And every single year, everyone at the table — including the extended family that isn’t even trying to eat healthy — eagerly gobbles it up. That’s because this healthy sugar-free cranberry sauce tastes exactly like the traditional sugary version, so everyone at your Thanksgiving or Christmas gathering can enjoy it. While cranberry sauce is a Thanksgiving ordeal for most, who says roasted turkey gets to have all the fame?...

You’ll love this sugar-free sorbet! It’s tart, cool, has the perfect sweetness level, and a beautiful shade of pink. Best of all, it’s made with just a few simple ingredients and just 10 minutes prep. Just like my frozen keto peanut butter pie, keto ice cream, or sugar-free blackberry frozen yogurt, it’s so sweet and refreshing on a hot day. What Is Sorbet? Sorbet is a dairy-free treat made with just sugar and fruit — unlike sherbet, which is made with milk or cream....

Actually, let’s make that giant hugs, Taco Casserole, and a pitcher of Skinny Margaritas. Let the fun begin! This Taco Casserole recipe takes the core ingredients of any classic taco plate—beans, cheese, tortillas, juicy ground turkey (my healthy swap for beef; chicken would work well too), and a yummy array of toppings—and transforms them into an easy-to-make, even easier-to-eat layered taco bake. It’s like a baked Mexican lasagna. Except…I didn’t bake it....

An easy keto pound cake might not be the first thing you envision when you picture keto dessert, but maybe you’ll do a double take after you try this one. 😉 My low carb pound cake takes just 10 minutes to prep, 7 ingredients, and has ALL the flavor of a classic pound cake. Serve almond flour pound cake with a touch of whipped cream and berries for a sweet summer dessert, or with coffee at breakfast – it’s healthy enough to do both!...

Anyone who feels healthy food can’t look beautiful clearly has never set eyes on a delicious Korean vegetarian bibimbap bowl (or Cabbage Stir Fry). Steamy, fluffy rice studded with tender-crisp veggies, fragrant sesame oil, and spicy Korean chili goodness, bibimbap is a layered masterpiece of color, flavor, and aroma. If you’re not familiar with bibimbap (which translates to “mixed rice”), it is a traditional Korean dish of hot rice served with an array of mixed veggies, chili pepper paste, and (sometimes) a fried egg....

Last week, as I was sneaking my fifth bite of Zucchini Brownies before 10 am (which would have felt slightly more excusable had I not enjoyed a duo of leftover Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler and Cherry Blackberry Crisp the night before), it occurred to me that shifting my baking energy into a healthy breakfast muffin might be a wise choice for the time being. These scrumptious zucchini carrot oatmeal muffins turned out to be one of my very favorite zucchini recipes to date....

One of the absolute best things about ordering any kind of vegetable fries is that it feels like cheating. You can tell your brain that you are eating something healthy (look mom, zucchini!), but I think we know what’s really going on here. In a restaurant, deep-fried vegetables of any kind, while ultra tasty, aren’t what my body habitually needs. Enter, baked zucchini fries. Whenever I set out to lighten up a traditionally indulgent recipe like fries, first and foremost I prioritize making sure the recipe tastes fantastic....

Hake is a white fish that’s likened to cod or halibut. It’s delicious, versatile, and makes the perfect base for any fish recipe. The great thing about hake is that it’s eco-friendly. The fish is currently considered to be at or above a sustainable yield. This is the gold standard for sustainable fishing. The fish is hugely popular in the UK and Spain, where there’s an abundance of supply. Despite this, many of us have yet to give the tasty white fish a try....

Daikon radishes are those white carrot-looking root vegetables you’ve seen at the store, but probably never tried. They’re a staple in Asian cuisine and rich in nutrients like vitamin C and potassium. They also have so many unique uses like baked fries, fresh salads, and even fermented sides. Needless to say, I guarantee they’ll breathe some new life into your usual routine. So what are you waiting for? Enlighten your tastebuds and expand your horizons with these daikon radish recipes....

Zesty, fruity, fun, and tasty, these creative cocktails are an eye-catching addition to any festive spread. Mix ‘em up, pour ‘em out, and watch as they wow the crowd. Irish eyes will definitely be smiling with a few sips of a fuzzy leprechaun or an Irish margarita. But you don’t have to wait for St Patrick’s Day to get boozing. Make your Halloween extra special this year with a tall glass of toxic spawn martini or a pitcher of wicked witch....

Are you the kind of person who checks the dessert menu before choosing a main? Me too! But sometimes, after a big dinner, I just can’t fit in another bite. Luckily, these dessert cocktails are light enough to sip and enjoy, even after a three-course meal. Unlike typical cocktails, which can be strong and overly boozy (I’m looking at you, martinis!), these are sweet and loaded with all your favorite dessert flavors....
