Heartfelt Eggs

Simply boil a couple eggs each, slice them in half and spoon out the yolk. Then combine 3 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp beetroot powder, ¼ cayenne pepper and ⅓ tsp salt, spoon into a piping bag and pipe this delicious, pink mixture right where the yolk usually goes! Voila - you have some adorable eggs to start off your meal.

 

Main

Every aspect of the main needs to be flavour-packed and soul-warming. The biggest part of the meal can’t be lacking flavour and love!

Goats Cheese & Spinach Stuffed Chicken & Waffles

A crisp, stuffed chicken with some golden waffles is an indulgent, filling main that is bound to become the highlight of your meal. Cook about two cups of spinach in a pan with some olive oil and garlic powder until fully wilted. In a bowl, combine about 1 ounce of goat cheese with the spinach. Simply make an incision on the side of each chicken breast and stuff them with spinach and goats cheese.

—> For some more flavour, you can instead butterfly the chicken to gently tenderise them and then marinate in a mixture of your choice, perhaps some olive oil, garlic and thyme. You can then add your cheese mixture to the chicken breast and fold over the chicken breast. 

Whisk 2 eggs and then coat the chicken in the egg mixture, then almond flour, egg and then breadcrumbs. Then simply deep fry the chicken on medium-high heat until golden brown.Here’s an in-depth guide to deep frying chicken keto-style.

Comfort Food - Burgers

Burgers are a classic that we all love and miss on the keto diet. The perfect burger can really hit the spot, especially when cooked with love. How can burgers be made keto-friendly, you may ask? We all know that the burger bun is the most problematic, high-carb part of a burger. 

Luckily you can easily home-bake your ownburger buns using ourMultiseed Bread Mix. Add the fillings you love most - we love ours with pickles, well-seasoned ground beef patties, lettuce, tomatoes and plenty of melted cheese! Not a fan of meat? Try some crispy fried chicken or bacon pieces. Are you vegetarian? Then simply substitute the patty with a hefty portobello mushroom packed with a generous amount of garlic and herbs.

 Dessert

Ending the meal with a sweet, decadent treat is a must and we think that it’s the most important part of the entire experience.
