Welcome Back To The OG Of Lazy Keto Sides
Quick Keto Side Dishes
Let’s address the marshmallow in the room.
It totally looks like mini toasted marshmallows in that picture, right? In hindsight, I could have done this differently. But in foresight, you’re glad I didn’t. You just don’t know it yet.
It’s time to re-visit and indulge in the OG of keto sides for chicken, keto sides for steak, or a low-carb side to eat with anything you’d like. The one, the only, Creamed Spinach.
Besides any excuse to enjoy this satisfying dish, it is also remarkably quick. Like, super fast.
Simple Lazy Keto Recipes
Fast and simple recipes hold a special place in my heart and in my weekly roundup. We don’t always have time to spend in the kitchen and I don’t know if I hit my head or what – but I had forgotten all about this beauty. Well, it’s time to bring her back!
There are many iterations of creamed spinach. You may prefer it in different ways, too, based on your meal plan. For example, maybe you go heavier on the garlic when you want to use it like a dip. And maybe you go thinner when you want it as a side dish.
Food is your playground. Whatever your preference, you can achieve this dish with minimal ingredients in just a few minutes.
This is how all simple low carb sides should be.
So, what’s your move? Are you going to personalize this side dish?
I’m always looking for ways to ‘play’ with my food so I went with a salty pungent garnish. Besides being one of my favorites, this cheese makes everything better.
Keto Side Dishes
Ok, so I put a candle in that photo as there are so many blue cheese haters in the world. I thought a little romantic ambiance while that glorious tub tries to seduce you back to the yummy side could work.
My apologies if it didn’t.
But, if you’re a lover of blue cheese, consider it as a garnish. This dish practically begs for the attention of those little happy crumbles. Once you try this, you’ll never go back!
Although word of caution: 3 minutes in the broiler made the crumbles look more like they needed a graham cracker and a nub of chocolate. Oops. But, I promise you, it’s oh-so-delicious.
