Veggie Frittata
If you have eggs and veggies, you're set. While we added a few more things to this frittata, you can easily adjust it based on what's in the fridge.
Italian Pepper Shredded Beef
When you think of shredded beef, you might picture it on a hoagie or sandwich roll. But it's equally good served over lower carb options, like cauliflower rice, veggie noodles, or spaghetti squash.
Spaghetti Squash
A popular replacement for pasta, spaghetti squash is a nutrient dense lower carb option with loads of flavor.
Tuscan Lemon Chicken
Some of the best dishes are based on the simplest flavors. This lemony chicken is one of them.
Lemon Chicken over Veggie Noodles
This recipes asks you spiralize your veggies, but if you're not into that, just look for the veggie noodles and zoodles in the produce department.
Planked Seed-Crusted Salmon Salad
Using a soaked plank to grill salmon adds an extra smoky flavor to the fish—a nice complement to the toasted seed crust.
Tuna Lettuce Wraps
This light lunch or dinner is a quick an easy fix for when you just need a little something. For a more substantial meal, add some avocado and round it out with roasted veggies.
Breakfast Egg Cups
For breakfast or lunch, we like that we can make a batch of these egg muffins and freeze and reheat as needed.
Beef Kabobs with Blue Cheese
The king of kabobs, chunks of seasoned beef tenderloin, asparagus, and blue cheese are all you need to make this magic happen.
