There are so many different versions of the keto diet that it’s easy to get mixed up. Some require lots of tracking and counting, others not so much. Where does the lazy keto diet fit on the spectrum, then? Let’s learn how to do lazy keto, and what items fit on a lazy keto food list. What Is Lazy Keto? While other versions of keto may require tracking a variety of macros, a lazy keto meal plan only requires that you track net carbs....

Whoever came up with the idea for coconut shrimp is a genius, and I’d like to thank them from the bottom of my heart. These little bites of heaven are golden, sweet, and perfectly crispy. To make this tropical dish, you’ll simply coat the shrimp in a batter of coconut flakes and breadcrumbs, which is then deep-fried until golden brown. But the flavor combination works like magic. With this dish, you’ll get a bite of crisp and mildly sweet coating followed by plump, juicy, and flavorful shrimp....

Pot roast, also known as the holy grail of comfort food, is a scrumptious meal made of succulent beef, flavorful veggies, and mouthwatering gravy. Because of the different hearty elements in the dish, many consider it a complete meal. However, it’s never a bad idea to serve some irresistible side dishes along with this exceptional meat. To round out your meal, you can opt for a heavy starch that will help sop up all that heavenly gravy from your plate....

Did you know that molasses is simply a by-product of the sugar-making process? In granulated sugar production, the extra juice is extracted from the plant, boiled, and turned into thick molasses. You’ll need molasses if you’re baking your way through your grandma’s Betty Crocker cookbook. If you don’t have a bottle in your pantry (you’re not alone), molasses substitutes are quick and easy. Most molasses substitutes call for sugar (and a few extra steps) to capture that rich, caramel goodness!...

And precisely why are they better, you may wonder? That’s an easy one. They’re better because they’re cuter, and you can eat several of them without feeling guilty. After all, we all know that eating two full-size cupcakes is probably pretty bad for you calorie-wise, but who can really say how many calories are in mini cupcakes? They’re so small, so it can’t be a lot, right? (At least, that’s how I choose to look at it, anyway!...

There’s no denying how many people have changed their lives by following low-carb diets. Though it has recently gained traction, the keto diet has been around for quite some time. Of course, cutting out simple carbs doesn’t quite satisfy the inevitable sweet tooth, and that’s where low-carb cookies come in handy. This list is packed with keto cookies that are delicious on or off the diet. Whether you’re looking for a diet-friendly dessert, or simply looking for sweet treats, these treats are irresistible....

Pomegranates have a very bold flavor that can be sweet or sour, depending on when you get them. But mostly, they’re like cranberries in that they have a balance of sweet and tart taste. I think the two juices are very similar and mostly interchangeable. That said, pomegranate is a little darker and less acrid in taste. I much prefer its earthy notes and more well-rounded flavor. 1. Pomegranate Margarita Forget diamonds: margaritas are a girl’s best friend, and this stunning pomegranate recipe is sure to be your new fave....

When the weather starts to turn cold, there’s nothing that I love more than warm, comforting soups and stews. Unfortunately, it seems like they don’t fill me up like other foods. Or at least that was the case until I discovered high protein soups. Like me, there are a ton of people out there who love soups and stews, especially in the fall and winter months. However, I’m sure some of them have the same complaint: Some soups just aren’t filling....

Unlike the icebox, though, these fruit and custard-filled layered cakes are so delightful, they’ve managed to stick around through the decades. Besides being super delish, these desserts are extra awesome because they need no baking whatsoever. The idea is to use crackers, cookies, biscuits (i.e. graham crackers and Nilla wafers) instead of actual sponge or chiffon cakes. When these confections are layered with a custard filling and fresh or canned fruit, and chilled, they eventually soften and turn into a cake....

Sure, I have a pretty big sweet tooth, but I just crave something salty and rich some mornings. That being said, I don’t always have the time to make a breakfast burrito or skillet full of hash browns. The beauty of most of these savory muffin recipes is that you can make a nice big batch and freeze them for later. Just grab the one you want and pop it in the microwave for a minute or two....

There’s fish and barbecued meats, but many of the best Israeli foods are vegetarian- or vegan-friendly and contain plenty of spices, seasonings, and herbs. Grains, pasta, and dairy are other commonly used ingredients, and chefs often use cheese, nuts, and rose water in their desserts. While Israeli foods aren’t as well-known in the Western world as Mexican, Chinese, or Italian cuisine, certain things like hummus, baklava, and latkes are pretty common even in the U....

Tacos are as close to perfect as a bite of food gets, and the best part is, they’re all so different. I’m a sucker for crispy fish tacos with slaw and mango salsa, but I also go weak in the knees when faced with tender, shredded beef tacos. And don’t get me started on the vegetarian and vegan options. Who knew roasted cauliflower and sweet corn could taste so good?...
