What are some staples for keto-friendly baking?

Since the ketogenic diet is high in fat and very low in carbs, it requires low-carb baking flours like almond flour or coconut flour. Good sweeteners to keep in your pantry include stevia or powdered monk fruit, and you might need a few keto-friendly dairy products for baking like Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and eggs. More keto-friendly supplies to have on hand include nuts and nut butters, coconut flakes, unsweetened cocoa, and xanthan gum.

What are some delicious ideas for vegetarian sandwiches?

If you're looking for the perfect cold-weather sandwich, go for a classic grilled cheese. Or make this sandwich more interesting by adding sauteed onions and mushrooms. In the summertime, serve up a hummus and cucumber sandwich or a vegetarian club. Ingredients for this tasty sandwich include cheddar cheese, sliced tomatoes, avocado, dill pickle, alfalfa sprouts, and mayo.

I love Italian food. How can I make it gluten-free?

Because some Italian dishes don't contain pasta, they also don't contain gluten. Examples include baked tomatoes stuffed with sausage and rice and meatballs in marinara sauce (made with oats instead of breadcrumbs). If you love pasta dishes like lasagna and spaghetti, don't worry. You'll find plenty of gluten-free pastas on the market made from brown rice flour, chickpea flour, or yellow pea flour. These pastas taste delicious when incorporated into Italian cuisine.
