CookBook

My husband and I have been doing the Keto diet for a few years now. We both have had significant success with this lifestyle change. Unfortunately, life happened and we strayed away a little bit, and the one thing we both felt was terrible. Our bodies felt better without eating all the carbs and sugar. Right before Christmas, we decided that we were going to get strict again. I got this Keto for Foodies cookbook by Nicole Downs and it is one of my favorites!

About the Cookbook by Nicole Downs

One of the first things you see when you open this cookbook is the authors story. I think that is very important to read because you see that Nicole Downs is on this Keto journey. She didn’t just jump on the “Keto bandwagon” and make a cookbook. The next part is the “nuts and bolts” of the diet. Even though I already knew quite a bit about this lifestyle, I found this part to be very helpful, especially the small section about the Keto sugars. That part is very helpful! However, my absolute favorite part, are the recipes! You will find recipes for dressings/sauces/seasonings, appetizers, breads (yes breads!), soups, salads, sides, main meals, and sweet treats! I like cookbooks and this one is by far one of the best!

My Favorite Keto Recipes

As you can see by the tabs on the side of the book, I have used this cookbook! I put a tab at the recipe I made (if I like it) so it makes it easier for me to turn to the recipes I’ve made and liked. So far I have made bacon jam and a French country stew (I’m making a third recipe from this book tonight). The bacon jam was to die for. Literally. I could have sat there and ate just the bacon jam with a spoon. Each recipe has the macros per serving at the bottom, so it makes it very easy for me to put the meal into My Fitness Pal and track it for the day.

Cooking is something I actually enjoy now. If you would have asked me if I liked it 20 years ago, it would have been a definite NO. Not only did I not enjoy it, but I was terrible at it. Over the last 20 years, I have really worked hard to get better. Now I am confident that I can follow any recipe and it will turn out great. One thing I would like to get better at his menu planning and meal prepping. When I was asked to review the Gluten Free Meal Prep cookbook, it was an immediate yes!

My Thoughts

This gluten free meal prep cookbook was exactly what I have been looking for. Not only are there really delicious sounding recipes, but it tells you exactly what you need to begin meal prepping and literally walks you through the process. That is the kind of hand holding I need. There are meal prep recipes for things that I would never have thought that you could prep ahead. My other favorite part are the shopping lists and the daily menus. I know I can successfully do this. It’s the getting started that keeps hanging me up each time.

Not Gluten Free?

That’s OK! Like I say in my recipes on my other blog, if you aren’t gluten free, just use your regular ingredients. The same could easily be applied for the recipes in this book that may call for gluten free flour or gluten free bread. Just use your favorite bread. The meal prep and the recipes in general, are excellent and ones every single person will enjoy!
