Riley Young is a full-time working parent who doesn’t have hours in the kitchen to spend. Still low-carb, though? That is nonnegotiable. Riley says, “I needed quick, simple family-approved dishes.”
Riley’s preferred low-carb dishes
Riley makes these at the beginning of the week for breakfast. Egg muffs. “You simply mix eggs, toss some ham, cheese, and spinach into a muffin tray and bake. They are wonderful and portable.
Lunch is zucchini noodles topped with pesto. Riley notes, “Zoodles are a game-changer.” She tosses them grilled chicken in a basic basil pesto.
Riley enjoys making a mix of chicken thighs, broccoli, and cauliflower seasoned with garlic and olive oil then roasting everything at 400°F for 30 minutes. “Minimal cleanup, maximum flavor,” she declares.
Low-Carb Advice for Busy Routines
Meal prep and keeping basics like eggs, pre-chopped vegetables, and canned tuna on hand swears Riley by. “If you’re ready, staying on track is so much easier.” She explains.
