I already told you that my husband and I are trying to lose the lard by eating with the Keto plan. I also told you I found the book above by Suzanne Ryan. I don’t think I’ve told you what a treasure trove I consider this book! She lost 120 pounds and has kept it off. She has a website, Keto Karma, this book, etc. and I hope if she isn’t a gazillionaire now, she soon will be.
I can’t say enough about her recipes. I’ve tried four so far. My husband’s reactions have been, “This is YUMMY!” to “What are we celebrating?” to “Are you SURE this is on our diet?”
I can sincerely say I have never gotten a recipe book where I found more than a few what we considered good recipes. I have bought many cookbooks, and resold many, and given away others over the years. This one I will keep and use as long as I am alive. All of the recipes sound GOOD. She doesn’t ask you to find a bunch of ingredients that are hard to find. The recipes are straight-forward and not overly time-consuming or difficult. And, so far, they are DELICIOUS. I cook once and we get two meals from it, usually.
- The first recipe I tried was ‘Sausage, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Bake.” This was so good it will become a staple for us.
- The second was “Bacon-Wrapped Cheesy Chicken”
- The third was last night, when I made two recipes: “Keto Honey Mustard” and “Keto Breaded Chicken Tenders.” – these looked different than I was expecting and I was a bit worried, but they were juicy and delicious. This was the recipe where my husband said, “Are you SURE this is on our diet?”
I am reminded of the book and movie combo, “Julie and Julia.” (one of my favorites) where Julie decides she will cook every recipe in Julia Child’s cookbook. I’m very lucky because I would NEVER even THINK of doing what she did, with all the weird (to me) ingredients, un-pronounceable names, and LONG, complicated directions. I’m truly enjoying trying each of these recipes – and I don’t particularly enjoy cooking!
We’re having our leftover chicken tenders for lunch, and I’ll try a new recipe this evening! :0)

Nice for you to find such a useful cooking book Linda 😀
For many years I mostly have been using those for inspiration, as it annoys me, when there are too many ingredients, as are difficult to find, containing in the recipes.

I am not a ‘good cook.’ I don’t really like to cook. But THIS book, where I’m getting more and more confident that I can make something good, is really changing my life. I also love using my new veggie spiralizer tool. My husband is actually enjoying yellow squash and zucchini. Woo HOOO!

This sounds really good for both of you Linda.
I do like to cook, I just don’t have the energy and abundance every day, why I often prepare bigger portions, so I can freeze down and have easy foods other days. Since my hospital stay I haven’t been in for working in the kitchen daily.

I have NEVER wanted to be working in the kitchen daily. I still like the fact that one cooking session yields two meals for us.
