This French carrot salad recipe proves that French cooking can be simple, flavorful, and fast! I first tried an authentic French version when we were on our honeymoon in France — and I’ve tried to recreate it at home. Like my cucumber tomato avocado salad or three bean salad (but with very different veggies), it combines fresh herbs and veggies with a quick lemon dressing. And it’s so easy to pair with all your favorite meats and mains!...

This delicious Grilled Zucchini Sandwich will get you excited about picnic weather.

What more could you possibly ask for? I don’t want to jinx it, but I think spring is finally here. Well, with my luck, we might just get slammed with another snow storm just because I typed those words....

Homemade healthy granola is one of those recipes that, every time I make it, I question my sanity as to why I haven’t been whipping up a fresh batch every single week. It’s simple, scrumptious, and will have you throwing elbows on your way to the pantry to snag the final few handfuls. Compared to store-bought alternatives, making your own homemade granola (or Healthy Granola Bars) is also far less expensive and much better for you too....

(This post is sponsored by my friends at Cavit.) It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas that time of the year when you are supposed to host fantastic holiday soirées, shop for creative and amazing gifts for all your family and friends and still be on top of mundane, non holiday related tasks, like… ugh, laundry! You’ve been browsing Pinterest like a mad woman/man and saving all these delicious ideas, but they end up forgotten on your boards because nobody has time to make a 3+ hours Boeuf Bourguignon when your dog is destroying the Christmas tree and the UPS guy is at the door with all your Black Friday gifts (which you NEED to hide from your husband or there will be a speech about your supposed “shopping addiction”)....

This time of year, it makes sense to see pumpkin pies, pumpkin lattes, soups, and even salsa on store shelves — pumpkin is the poster child of fall! But if you’re on keto, it’s tough to tell if these foods are off-limits or not. You can often figure it out from labels using the net carb calculator, but having an overview is always a good thing. So, let’s answer an all-important question: Is pumpkin keto?...

I first made this recipe for easy keto vanilla cupcakes several years ago, with pink frosting for a breast cancer awareness project during the month of October. It has undergone several improvements since then, including better texture and a lot more frosting, among others. With the updates and the right sweetener, they’re so moist and sweet that you’ll be hard pressed to tell that they are sugar-free cupcakes at all....

Anyone else missing takeout lately? ???? I wouldn’t normally recommend pho on a keto diet, due to the noodles and even added sugar. But a low carb keto pho recipe, made with zucchini noodles and monk fruit sweetener, was the perfect candidate for transforming an Asian takeout dish into a healthier version at home! I had to “cheat” a little with my “10 ingredients or less” mantra, though, because pho has complex flavors and the broth alone needs lots of ingredients....

Nothing beats the summer heat better than a cold, sweet, and creamy McDonald’s Caramel Frappe! It’s wonderfully delicious and refreshing. It’s not easy on the wallet, though! What if I told you that you can enjoy the goodness of the same irresistible frappe at a fraction of the cost?

In the oven, the pancake puffs SKY HIGH.The edges rise up and turn golden and lightly crisp at the ends.The texture is custardy and somewhere between a crepe and a popover (looking for a true crepe?...

Now, if you are reading this and thinking to yourself, Isn’t the fact that you can use steel cut oats for overnight oats incredibly obvious?, please consider the great fictional romances of our time. Wasn’t it also obvious that Harry would end up with Sally? That Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan were meant to be (twice)? That Ross would finally win over Rachel? Why, yes. But that doesn’t make the evolution of the love story any less satisfying....
