Hellobee Boards

I love this recipe, it's so delicious. I have made it with half the amount of lentils; I think it would be good even without any if they're not keto-compatible. (I've never been on a true keto diet so I don't know the rules, just always trying for the low carb/high fat/lots of veggies lifestyle).

ETA sorry, this does take like 20 minutes to prepare--I didn't read your post closely enough. If you bought pre-prepped veggies it would take 10-15 though, which I think is not bad at all for a really nutritious meal that always has another meal's worth of yummy leftovers.

Another idea, sorry if it's boring? But I love to do omelets for dinner and they're so, so healthy. Just a thought.

@Kaohinani: There used to be a user named @gingerbebe who was very into Keto. Tagged her to hopefully provide some recipes for you!

@ChiCalGoBee: I miss her SO. MUCH.

I don’t have any Keto recipes but the castaway kitchen is a blogger I know of who does Keto. Is there any way you could batch cook meals you can eat and freeze in individual portions? This is something we do often to save time

How adventurous of eaters are the rest of your family? Can you cook to suit your dietary needs, with simple add-ones (like pasta, rice, beans etc.) for them? If this might work, try googling any dish you like with the words “whole 30” and the cooking method you prefer (Instant Pot, or slow cooker). I recently did Whole 30 with my husband, which IMO is even more restrictive than Keto, and we found a lot of close approximations of favorites that were diet friendly - so the kids would, for example eat Whole 30 Butter Chicken (Indian curry) with rice, and we’d have cauliflower rice. Not too many in the 10 minutes or less time frame, I’m afraid, but if you could make something the whole family would eat, that might be ok.

I’m away but can grab a few recipes for you when I get home. I don’t know that I have too many

I do a lot of Asian cooking (I know that’s a broad generalization - but we do lots of cuisines - Thai, Korean, Chinese), and one substitution that saved my life on Whole 30 was coconut aminos in place of soy sauce! Things like this might help you make your “normal” recipes work for the whole family.

Husband and I do keto, son does not.

We eat a lot of:
* Breakfast for dinner (eggs/omlettes, bacon/sausage).
* taco night (skip the tortillas, eat as a taco salad)
* sandwichs on lettuce "buns" or as roll-ups
* simple protein + veggie dinners (fish + salad, chicken + roasted vegetables)
* cauli-rice casserole (bag of cauliflower rice + lots of shredded cheese + a splash of cream + shredded rotisserie chicken + whatever green vegetable you like best)
* creamy skillet chicken (chicken + wilted spinach + artichoke hearts + alfredo sauce -- cook chicken, simmer the rest in a pan until heated)

We have found that we both LOVE roasted broccoli and cauliflower, and often eat it as a vegetable side multiple nights a week.

I don't like keto versions of bread products, so if my son wants a roll/pancakes/tortillas/rice/mac&cheese, we make normal ones for him and just leave it off our plates.

@Kaohinani: the casserole is SO easy. I usually prep it a day or two in advance, and then husband just pops it in the oven (he works from home).

NOTE: I tried substituting broccoli rice once and it took FOREVER to cook - basically tasted raw and crunchy. Stick with cauliflower!

I really like peace love low carb blog for recipes but I basically just stick to super simple stuff even if it isn’t a “meal” or I just roast meat+veg. Eggs avocado cheese - tacos, those are my staples

I do keto because I have joint inflammation and I’m prediabetic. I hear you!

You can buy riced cauliflower and zucchini noodles. They are more expensive than doing it yourself but who cares? I really need the convenience of having them ready to go.

Then I just add stuff to them. Alfredo sauce. Beef stew (there’s a good recipe on nom nom paleo). Low sugar spaghetti sauce. Butter chicken. Stir fry.

We get the low carb Mission tortillas and use them for tacos, or put them in the oven for a few minutes for taco salads, or spread artichoke dip on them and microwave them for roll ups. Or make quesadillas. You have to be careful because they still have some carbs, but it’s a nice change from the usual fare.

They sell low carb frozen pizza in most grocery stores now. They’re kind of expensive, but good for nights you don’t feel like cooking. You could give the kids regular pizza.

Maybe not a dinner food, but we eat a lot of tuna salad and egg salad.

I’ll let you know if I come up with anything else!

I’ve found a lot of great recipe on

Best of luck to you!
