Thai Scallop Curry with Zucchini Noodles & Shiitake Mushrooms
MAKES 2 SERVINGS
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 to 3 Tbsp coconut oil
1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
1 to 2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cup canned fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 cup unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
2 cups zucchini noodles
1/2 cup sliced shiitake mushroom
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 to 3/4 lb sea scallops
HOW TO MAKE IT
Make the sauce. In a large skillet cook onion in 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil over medium-low 5 minutes or until onion is tender but not brown. Stir in ginger, curry powder, salt, and cayenne. Add tomatoes and coconut milk. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in another large skillet, cook zucchini, mushrooms, and garlic in 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil over medium-high heat just until zucchini starts to brown on the edges and mushrooms are cooked through, about 3 minutes. If desired, season with salt.
Remove vegetables from skillet and keep warm. Heat the same skillet over medium heat, adding more coconut oil if needed. Add scallops. Cook about 6 minutes or until browned and just opaque, turning once halfway through. Keep the scallops moving in the pan to keep them from sticking, but turn only once.
Divide zucchini mixture between two plates. Top with curry sauce and scallops.

Smoky Spanish Beef Stew with Olives
MAKES 4 SERVINGS
INGREDIENTS
3 Tbsp extra–virgin olive oil
1 lb stew beef, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
2 large cloves garlic, chopped
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into strips
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup chopped fresh curly-leaf parsley
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 cup no-sugar-added beef stock
1/4 cup dry red wine
1 tsp pimiento (smoked Spanish paprika)
1/4 tsp cayenne
1 cup pimiento-stuffed green olives
HOW TO MAKE IT
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large sauté pan or Dutch oven. Add meat and sear until browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate.
Add onion, garlic, and bell peppers to the pan. Cook and stir until peppers are crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Return the meat and any accumulated juices to the pan.
In a large measuring cup, combine bay leaf, half of the parsley, the thyme, salt, black pepper, stock, wine, paprika, and cayenne; pour into the pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, 35 to 40 minutes or until the meat is tender.
Gently stir in the olives to avoid crushing them. Bring the stew to a rapid simmer and allow the liquid to reduce to thicken, about 6 minutes. Stir in the remaining olive oil. Serve stew topped with the remaining parsley.

Smoked Salmon on Cucumber Slices with Lemon-Avocado Sauce
Smoked Salmon on Cucumber Slices with Lemon-Avocado Sauce
MAKES 4 SERVINGS
INGREDIENTS
1 medium-sized ripe avocado (about 7 ½ oz)
1 tsp lemon zest
3 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
2 tsp coconut aminos
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp cider vinegar
Water
1/4 to 1/2 tsp raw honey, optional
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 English cucumber (about 12 oz), cut into 24 slices
6 oz smoked wild salmon, cut into small pieces
4 tsp Everything Bagel spice mix
HOW TO MAKE IT
Make sauce: In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine avocado, lemon zest and juice, parsley, coconut aminos, olive oil, and vinegar. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl or blender as needed. Blend in water 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach desired consistency. Taste and blend in honey, if needed. Season with salt and pepper. (Yield: About 1 cup)
Spread about 2 tablespoons sauce on each of 4 plates. Place 6 cucumber slices on each; divide salmon among slices. Sprinkle with Everything Bagel spice mix and serve.
Note: It is rather unusual to have honey in a keto recipe, but it's such a tiny amount, it won't move the needle (but it does provide the balance the sauce needs). There are about 17 grams of carbs in 1 tablespoon of honey, and this is at most ½ a teaspoon, which adds up to fewer than 3 grams of carbs, even if you ate the entire batch.

Keto Waffles
MAKES 1 SERVING
INGREDIENTS
2 eggs
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
Cooking spray
HOW TO MAKE IT
1 Heat up the waffle iron
Ingredients to make keto waffles
Kiersten Hickman/Eat This, Not That!
Plug in your waffle maker and set it to medium heat. Some waffle irons may have numbers, so set it to the middle number. My waffle iron has numbers 1 through 6, so I find my keto waffle is best made on the 3 setting. You can grab a similar waffle iron here.
2 Whisk together the ingredients
Whisking eggs and cheese together to make keto waffles
Kiersten Hickman/Eat This, Not That!
While the waffle iron is heating up, whisk together the ingredients. The cheese will not melt or anything, so don't be alarmed if it still separates from the egg. Just make sure the egg is completely beaten through.
3 Pour into a sprayed waffle iron

Kiersten Hickman/Eat This, Not That!
Spray down the waffle iron with cooking spray (I just used a generic oil spray), and pour in the mixture. Make sure the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the waffle. The egg may not fill up each quarter right away (pictured above), but do not worry! It will fill in just fine while cooking.
4 Wait for the waffle maker to go off

Waffle makers usually have self-timers, which means they will go off when the waffle is ready. When the timer goes off, open the lid to check on the waffle. The chaffle will cook pretty quickly, but if the cheese is still melty and not crispy, close the lid and let the waffle maker go through another cooking round.
5 Serve with butter and sugar-free syrup

It may seem strange, but trust me! This waffle will taste great eaten like any other waffle—with butter and syrup. You could even throw on some fresh berries, which, yes, are also keto-diet approved!

MAKES 8 SERVINGS
INGREDIENTS
1 Tbsp olive oil
3 lb ground beef
1 medium white onion, chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup Rao's Marinara Sauce
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/4 cup shredded Colby jack cheese
1/4 cup chopped chives
HOW TO MAKE IT
Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a very large, shallow pan, heat the oil and add the ground beef. Use a metal pancake turner to press the beef down into a single layer that covers the entire surface of the pan. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until browned, then use the pancake turner to flip the beef over and cook for another few minutes. Use a large spoon to spoon out excess liquid, until only a small amount remains.
Add onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and tomato paste to the beef. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Add marinara sauce and heavy cream and remove from heat.
Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese and spoon the beef mix into a large casserole dish.
Top with remaining cheese and bake about 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and melty. Top with chives and serve immediately.

1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
3 Tbsp minced chives
HOW TO MAKE IT
In a bowl of a stand mixer, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, shredded cheese, and ranch seasoning.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Once the cheese mixture is chilled, use a small scoop or two small spoons to portion out small cheese balls and place on the baking sheet.
