Fennel is one of those vegetables that I never really grew up eating or experimented with. In fact, I really hadn’t tried it at all until I started keto. Once I tried it though, I was really in love. It’s one of those vegetables, like many, that tastes really different cooked than raw, so you…
Sides
Crunchy Chicken and Cauliflower Rice Salad | Low Carb Nikki | Keto | LCHF | Low Carb
With the heat returning, cold and fresh dishes are an absolute must, as well as dishes that are quick and easy to prepare, so you’re not slaving over a hot stove for ages or heating up your house with the oven. In Australia, salads are also incredibly popular at Christmas, especially as there is always…
Keto Spanish Omelette | Low Carb | LCHF
If you’re unfamiliar with a Spanish Omelette, it’s a classic dish that seems very simple given the small amount of ingredients, but can be tricky sometimes to cook. My mum used to make a version of this very often when I was a kid, since eggs are so cheap and it makes for a really…
Cauliflower Mac and Cheese
My whole life, I have always HATED Mac and Cheese so much! I’ve tried the instant packet kind that my siblings and cousins all loved and hated everything about it. I’ve tried making homemade versions myself and hated those too. I don’t really know why but there is something about creamy and cheesy sauces with…
Korean BBQ Buffet
On my birthday last year I wanted to go out to eat, but I’m very fussy about restaurants because I hate paying top dollar for a measly meal because I’ve had to leave out a bunch of things off my plate, or something I know I can make better myself at home. But then I…
Roasted Turmeric Cauliflower
If you love cauliflower but haven’t tried it roasted, then you need to! It is absolutely delicious and tastes really different to cauliflower that has been steamed or boiled. This is flavoured with garlic and turmeric and makes a great side with lots of different meats. I especially love it with lamb! Turmeric…
Chilli Asian Broccoli
This was quite simply an attempt at making a nice and easy Asian style side veg to accompany any kind of protein you like. This Chilli Asian Broccoli isn’t fancy, but it’s quick and cheap to make with ingredients that can be bought at any supermarket. A really simple side with Asian flavours that can…
Fried Asian Celery
Celery is a vegetable that is very low in carbs but that I realised I haven’t ever really seen a good side dish of. I suspected the reason was that celery can have a very strong taste which I know a lot of people don’t like. I like celery cooked or raw but mixed in…
Thai Zoodle Salad
This salad uses Thai flavours with zoodles and is honestly one of the nicest salads I’ve ever made. It really exceeded my expectations and has a good amount of fresh vegetables in it. It’s great to pair with any protein especially chicken, steak, salmon and prawns. Try pairing it with my Thai Red Curry Baked…
Fathead Cheesy Herb and Garlic Pullapart
My intention with this recipe was to recreate those bread twists you can get from bakeries filled with different flavourings like herb and garlic or spinach and feta. We used to buy them often and they’re pretty popular. But there was always too much bread for my liking without nearly enough flavour and filling. With…
