5 Secrets to Easy Keto Dinners
A little advance planning can make all the difference to getting healthy keto dinners on the table with less stress. Here are 5 simple strategies to simplify your dinner time routine.
- Stock your pantry: Having the right ingredients on hand is more than half the battle. My comprehensive list of keto pantry staples is designed to help you identify the basics.
- Plan your meals: Spend a little time each week mapping out your meals so that you know what to shop for. This helps avoid last minute grocery store trips for a missing ingredient.
- Utilize pre-cut ingredients: Save time by relying on prepared vegetables like cauliflower rice, sliced mushrooms, and bagged salad. And pre-cooked proteins like rotisserie chicken can
- Consider the prep time: Don’t be fooled by overall cooking time – prep time is a much better indicator of how easy a recipe is. Recipes that take all day in a slow cooker often require less active work than one that takes 30 minutes on the stove.
- Embrace one-pan recipes: Complete meals cooked all together in one pan mean fewer dishes to clean. Keto Sheet Pan Meals are a serious time-saver!

I have 3 of your cookbooks now, including your newest protein one. Love them all. With your recipes, help from a doctor, dietician, pharmaceuticals and a lot of hard work, I am almost down my goal of 100 pounds, and I fully intend to keep it off and stay healthy and active! Thank you for doing all the leg work for us and keeping the recipes simple enough that we can make them after long work days!
Congrats!!!

Thank you for sharing your love of cooking with us.
I just purchased your newest book. It looks awesome!
I’m so excited to try the recipes and the information about protein is so informative.
You are so talented!
You are my go to when I need a recipe
Especially if it requires baking. I wasn’t good at it before keto and you’ve been a life saver. Thankyou for figuring it all out for us.
What an incredible collection of recipes — thank you so much!! I’ve saved many of them to Paprika (If you’re not familiar with Paprika, it’s a wonderful recipe manager software and app that syncs between my laptop and phone — it’s a life saver for meal planning and grocery shopping!) so that when I sit down to meal plan, they’re already there for me to choose from. I have all of your cookbooks and must download at least one recipe a day from you to the app. (I sound like a commercial, but I promise I’m just a real person who loves Keto and your blog — and Paprika.) Blessings — keep the amazing recipes coming!
