Who doesn’t love eggs and bacon.
I’ll tell you who: someone that’s been eating nothing but bacon and egg for three weeks straight.
I love eggs and bacon and I believe it is a staple of any Ketoer’s diet but let’s face it, a diet consisting of the same meal over and over gets boring really quick.
I firmly believe that the key to being successful on keto, at least for me, is cooking.
But cooking Keto can be intimidating at first. That is especially true if you’re not used to cooking or do not particularly like to cook .
That is why I believe everyone should have at least four or five go-to recipes that are quick and easy to prepare.
Being able to alternate between a few recipes that you know by heart makes a world of difference in how you experience Keto, especially early on.
These recipes for me are:
1 - Eggs, bacon and breakfast sausage (of course). I’ll usually prepare sausage and bacon 2 lbs at the time and let in the fridge until I need it.
2 - Ground beef and sauteed vegetables. I like my hamburger a little on the burnt side. I then add some butter, heavy cream, pepper and a bit of dijon mustard for quick and very tasty sauce. For vegetables I use spinach or broccoli sauteed in butter and that’s a five minute meal.
3 - Salad with egg salad.
I will fry 3 scrambled eggs in as much fat as they will hold (1tbsp bacon fat + 1 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp coconut oil) then let them cool bit and add a tablespoon or two of mayo. I add to a big bowl of mixed greens that’s been tossed with oil and balsamic vinegar then top it off with some Parmesan cheese and crumble bacon from the fridge and that’s another five minutes dish.
4 - last but not least comes to Fathead Pizza . I have it at least once a week. Not a 5-minute dish…but ohh so good.
Those were mine. Now what are your go-to five minute recipes?
