Keto NY Cheesecake
This keto New York cheesecake is an adaptation of a popular recipe that I revised for low-carb diets. The crust is a little off because there's really no perfect substitute for graham cracker, but otherwise, it tastes just like my favorite NY cheesecake. Enjoy!
Zucchini Salad with Herbs and Red Onion
A lovely, herb salad recipe with thin slices of zucchini, red onion, fresh mint, and basil. Use a spiralizer or a potato peeler to slice the zucchini as thin as possible. I like to blanch the red onion, but it's not completely necessary.

This cowboy butter ranch is a creamy dressing that combines the flavors of cowboy butter and ranch, and is great on just about anything: grilled meat, fried chicken, pizza, fries, or even a salad.
