Crisp breading on the outside, soft and moist on the inside, coated in a sticky, salty, aromatic sauce, General Tso's chicken has become an iconic dish. We remade this it to give it a more modern flair. Instead of chicken, we used cauliflower florets and made a sauce from honey and Primal Kitchen No Soy Teriyaki Sauce.

The BLT (bacon, lettuce, tomato) sandwich may be the most serendipitous sandwich ever created—refreshing romaine provides a sturdy bed to sop up the summer sweet juices dripping from thick slices of vine-ripened ruby tomato, salty snaps of smoked pork meat and crisp fat, gilded with a thick, creamy smear of mayo. We think a BLT is strong enough to stand alone, breadless; here's our version.

These basic but meaty, zippy, umami, a touch salty and deeply savory grilled portobello mushrooms are the perfect stand-in for meat as a main dish; a complimentary accent to serve alongside a grill-crusted rib eye; or a keto, Primal/paleo and Whole30 bun substitute for a garlic aioli burger, pulled chicken slider, or salmon cakes.

When we set out to uncover which of our keto-friendly recipes were fan favorites, we were surprised that preferences were all over the culinary map.

We tweaked traditional pasta primavera substantially—instead of cheese, we whipped up an herby cashew sauce; instead of pasta, we used zoodles; instead of a huge mix of different veggies, we opted to let the zucchini be the focal point. We added fresh shrimp cooked with lemon zest to our no-dairy remake, but if you want to keep the dish vegan, you can sub roasted broccoli and toasted walnuts or almonds.
