Beverages

Cold Brew Coffee

Coarsely ground coffee steeped in cold water for 16 hours. No heat involved, which means the acids that make hot coffee sharp and bitter never fully develop. The result is smooth, chocolate-forward, and easy to drink black. Takes fifteen minutes of actual work the night before and pays off every morning for two weeks.

Coleslaw

Shredded cabbage and carrots dressed in a tangy, slightly sweet mayo-based dressing with a kick of vinegar. The secret is salting the cabbage first to draw out water — otherwise it turns soggy within an hour.

Cottage Cheese Flatbread

High-protein flatbread made entirely from cottage cheese and eggs — no flour, no yeast, no kneading. This two-ingredient base blends into a smooth batter, bakes into a golden sheet with crispy edges and a soft, pliable center. Perfect as a keto pizza crust, a wrap for lunch prep, or torn into pieces and dipped into hummus. Each serving packs over 20g of protein, making it one of the easiest high-protein breads you can bake.

Salads

Crispy Cabbage Caesar Salad

Roasted cabbage Caesar salad with caramelized wedges, homemade anchovy dressing, crunchy croutons, and shaved parmesan. The cabbage goes into a screaming-hot oven until the edges char and the natural sugars turn to toffee — then gets the full Caesar treatment. A whole head of cabbage feeds four people for almost nothing, and it tastes better than romaine ever did.
