Keto Beef Stroganoff
This easy keto beef stroganoff combines thinly sliced ribeye, and tender mushrooms and onions in a rich cream sauce!
What You Need:
Cast Iron Skillet
Ingredients:
▢ 1 lb boneless ribeye steak, sliced
▢ 1/2 tsp pink salt (for seasoning steak)
▢ 1/4 tsp black pepper (for seasoning steak)
▢ 2 tbsp avocado oil
▢ 3 tbsp butter
▢ 1/2 medium onion, sliced
▢ 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
▢ 1 cup beef broth
▢ 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions:
Heat a 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the sliced steak with salt and pepper and place it in the hot skillet, searing on all sides for 1 minute until browned. Sear in batches if necessary/skillet is not big enough to hold all the meat in an even layer.
Transfer the seared steak to a bowl and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the sliced onion, cooking for 1 minute before adding the sliced mushrooms. Add a pinch of salt and saute for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all moisture has been released from the mushrooms and onions are soft and golden.
Add beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Once the broth has thickened slightly, mix a few tablespoons of hot broth with sour cream in a separate small bowl. Add the mixture to the broth and vegetables and stir to incorporate.
Taste and season as necessary. Continue to cook and allow the broth to thicken, then add the steak back to the skillet and simmer until warmed and fully cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
Serve over blanched zoodles or steamed cauliflower rice and garnish with chopped parsley and freshly cracked black pepper, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Best stored in an air tight container in the fridge up to 5 days.

KETO CHICKEN ALFREDO WITH BROCCOLI BAKE
Ingredients:
3 tbsp butter, divided
2.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tbsp chicken broth
12 oz steam bag of frozen broccoli
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
2/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup pepper jack cheese, grated
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1/4 tsp basil
Instructions:
Melt 1 tbsp butter in a 10.25 oven-safe skillet. (I use a cast-iron skillet)
Season sliced chicken with salt & pepper before placing the chicken in the skillet. Sear on both sides.
Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on low until the chicken is no longer pink.
Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Deglaze the pan by pouring 2 tbsp chicken broth into the hot skillet then scraping the bits off the bottom with a wooden spoon. Leave the bits in the pan as they are extra flavorful.
Pop the broccoli in the microwave and follow package directions to steam. Or, if you prefer, you can steam in boiling water on the stove.
While the broccoli is cooking, add 2 tbsp butter to the skillet along with the minced garlic. Saute 2 minutes or until fragrant.
Add softened cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, and Italian seasoning to the minced garlic, then stir continuously with a whisk on medium heat until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Reduce to a medium/low heat and allow the sauce to simmer gently boiling until the heavy whipping cream has reduced and thickened. Keep whisking so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. It will take a few minutes for the sauce to reduce and thicken.
Once it has thickened, add the parmesan and pepper jack cheese then continue to stir until the cheeses melt and the sauce is smooth.
Drain steamed broccoli.
Add the chicken and broccoli to keto alfredo sauce and stir until thoroughly combined.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on the low carb chicken alfredo broccoli mixture then sprinkle basil on top.
Pop the skillet in the oven on the top rack under broiler for 1-2 minutes or until the mozzarella cheese begins to bubble. While you could leave it on the stove to melt, I found that baking the cheese from the top in the oven produced the best results for this dish.

Do you like blueberries? Blueberries are sweet, nutritious and wildly popular.
Often labeled a superfood, they are low in calories and incredibly good for you.
They’re so tasty and convenient that many people consider them their favorite fruit.
Here are 10 proven health benefits of blueberries:
1. The blueberry is a very popular berry. It is low in calories but high in fiber, vitamin C and vitamin K.
2. Blueberries have the highest antioxidant capacity of all the popular fruits and vegetables. Flavonoids appear to be the berries’ antioxidant with the greatest impact.
3. Several studies suggest that blueberries and blueberry juice reduce DNA damage, which is a leading driver of aging and cancer.
4. The antioxidants in blueberries have been shown to reduce a predominant risk factor for heart disease by preventing oxidative damage to “bad” LDL cholesterol.
5. Regular blueberry intake is tied to lower blood pressure in numerous studies.
6. Some evidence indicates that eating fruits rich in anthocyanins — such as blueberries — is associated with a reduced risk of heart attacks.
7. The antioxidants in blueberries seem to benefit your brain by aiding brain function and delaying mental decline.
8. Several studies demonstrate that blueberries have anti-diabetes effects, improving insulin sensitivity and lowering blood sugar levels.
9. Like cranberries, blueberries contain substances that can prevent certain bacteria from binding to the wall of your bladder, which may help prevent UTIs.
10. One study suggests that blueberries may aid muscle recovery after strenuous exercise, though more research is needed.
