On a Keto Diet, we eat a balance of protein, healthy fats and carbs. The largest percentage of our calories come from fat and we consume a moderate amount of protein and low carbs, which most often come from vegetables.

Sometimes we consider a side dish, as more of an after thought.  So you have your protein planned and you think -what can I serve along side it?   There are so many ways to prepare vegetables to make them really special!  Many of these recipe have a great balance of Low Carb veggies and Keto fats, so all you have to add is your protein!
