Quick Keto Dinner

Bacon Wrapped Nathan's Beef Franks


These are one of my favorite easy meals on the Keto diet!
Preheat your oven to 400° and cover a baking sheet with foil and a piece of parchment paper. Wrap each hot dogs with a piece of bacon each and place on baking sheet. (Thin cut bacon works best!)


Cook for 20-25 minutes (or until the bacon looks as done as you like it). These are great with a little shredded cheese sprinkled on top of the hot dogs right when you take them out of the oven! I usually have these with a side of broccoli or some cauliflower salad.

Nathan's Famous Franks

I've never been a big fan of hot dogs. They were always just a blah food to me and I would only eat them if there was nothing else. My girlfriend however, has mentioned Nathan's many times (she's had them from the restaurant back in Cali) and I saw a pack at the store and grabbed them. If I'd had these hot dogs I would have been a fan from the start! They are delicious! We mad a batch wrapped in bacon and cooked in the oven. YUM!

I also made a few Jalapeño Poppers. I sliced fresh Jalapeño's in half length wise and cleaned the flesh and seeds out (use some gloves!), then stuffed them with a 50/50 mixture of cream cheese and shredded sharp cheddar and wrapped them in bacon as well.

I cooked them all in the oven at 400 degrees until the bacon looked done (about 20 minutes). I did forget to take a final picture...they were gone too fast!!

Pan Fried Tilapia

I was in the mood for something different for lunch and decided to make some Tilapia.

I started by melting 1 tbsp of butter in a skillet.

Then I seasoned a Tilapia fillet with crushed red pepper, pepper and a little sea salt and added it to the butter.

 Fry the tilapia for a few minutes on each side until there is a bit of a crust forming. Remove the fish from the pan and place in a warm oven while you prepare the sauce.

Remove the skillet from the the heat for a moment and add a little (about 1/4 c.) heavy cream and whisk it up a bit to gather the seasoning from the pan. Put back on the burner over low heat.

Continue cooking over low heat, stirring often. The sauce will begin to thicken after a minute or two. Add a handful of Bleu Cheese crumbles and stir until the cheese is melted. Remove from heat and serve!

Serve the sauce on top of the Tilapia for a delicious bite of fish. I enjoyed mine with a side of oven fried bacon and some celery with ranch dressing!
