Hi Friends,

My new book, Keto Slow Cooker and One-Pot Meals, has been released just a few days ago! Thanks to your amazing support, it's now #1 New Release in Low-Carb Diets on Amazon!

Working on this book was hard work but I had a lot of fun and loved every moment of it. If you ever feel that your kitchen is a mess, you should see my kitchen (did I say just my kitchen?) when I'm working on a cookbook. Now that my book is finally out, I can't wait to get your feedback!

Why Slow Cooking?

Slow cookers are gaining popularity and there's a good reason for it. They are just what we need for our busy lifestyles, especially when you can't cook every day, or have no more than a few minutes to prepare a healthy keto meal.

You can literally spend just five minutes prepping the ingredients in the morning, throw them in the slow cooker, set the timer, and wait for the magic to happen. When you get home from work, dinner is ready to be served!

What's Inside?

My new book, Keto Slow Cooker and One-Pot Meals includes over 100 delicious slow cooker recipes and one-pot wonders. Additionally, you will find 25 quick-prep keto basics including condiments, spices and stocks. Apart from ketogenic friendly recipes, I included a guide for slow cooking on a whole foods based ketogenic diet using simple low-carb ingredients. As in all of my books, each recipe includes a detailed nutrition breakdown and allergy information.

To learn more about my new Keto Slow Cooker & One-Pot Meals book and to see what's inside, check out this post.

Hello,
I purchased your Keto Slow Cooker & One Pot Meals book and, although I love it, I have a question about one of the recipes. I made the Macadamia Chai Cake on page 194 last weekend and was wondering if flour should have been included in the recipe? I made it as per the ingredients/instructions and it eventually cooked but came out more like a slice than a cake. Should I have added 1 cup of almond flour or something?
I'd really appreciate your response.
Thank you in advance,
Kathleen

Hi Kathleen, I'm sorry for the delayed response. It's always hard to keep up with the comments on the blog!
I'm so sorry, you are right. This is very frustrating and it never happened but in this case I made a mistake and the almond flour got lost in the editing process. It should include 2 cups of almond flour too (200 g/ 7.1 oz) added after the blending of macadamias and coconut butter, together with the sweetener. It will be fixed for any future reprints.
If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact me via email!

Plan. Plan. Plan. A meal plan. A shopping list.
Cook ahead: I expect that life will derail our family’s eating plan. That’s where pre-prepped and frozen meals meet our slow cooker. When a kid is sick and I can’t cook what was on the meal plan, I pull out the slow cooker and dig through my freezer for a meal.
Research available options for eating out. There are times when I can’t cook or pack snacks. I know what is Keto friendly at area restaurants before I leave the house.

1) Plan your meals and take diner of the day before as lunch the next day
2) Here it's possible to order the grocery with an app and just pick up the grocery: fantastic way to not spend unnecessary money or buy (bad) foods you don't need. You can also search for cheaper food and compare products. It's also good that the ingredients and kcal are added.
3) Meals casserole (don't have a slow cooker 😉) to spend time: just cut the foods and then in a dish in the oven.
Just love the app and the website! Great help with the Keto diet.

Silvia 6 years ago # Reply

My top tips to same money and time when cooking are:
1. Prepare your meals at home (definitely healthier than in a restaurant and cheaper, and if you're just beginning to cook use an awesome and easy cookbook like Martina's)
2. Do groceries about once a week and try different markets or shops to compare availability and prices, and buy in bulk whenever possible
3. Cook a lot at once and freeze food for the next days in one serving containers. Less cooking time throughout the week and definitely less dishes so no wasted time on cleaning (or get a dishwasher if you can afford it, it has saved us a lot of time throughout the years)
Good luck all!

Heather 6 years ago # Reply

1) It sounds boring but if you can simplify your list of staples for the week to the same general meals and snacks, it saves a ton of time in the grocery store not having to pull up recipes and track down obscure ingredients
2) Freeze soup in zip-loc bags inside storage containers, and once it's frozen, take it out of the storage container. This way you get the easy to store shape, but without having to tie up all your storage containers every time you make a big batch. Also, you can just thaw it in the bag.
3) Meal prep meal prep meal prep. Do it once, make a couple big batches and freeze them, then thaw them as you want variety.

My best time-saving strategies are to
1)cook extra and freeze leftovers for another meal
2) when prepping look what you can chop or add into the next meal - you waste a lot less
3) purchase your meat from a farmer. You get different cuts, including steaks for a really good price....or raise your own.....great sweat equity 😊

I’m just getting into the keto diet... this book looks amazing!
My tips would be...

2. Slow cooker meals to eat and freeze
3. Prep my veggies and things like that when I get back from shopping.
Thanks for the chance,

Hi....I would like to enter your giveaway however I need to know if your cookbook includes serving sizes? I went on Amazon and they have one of your recipes posted but there is no actual serving size it just lists nutrients as per serving. I find this happens a lot with keto recipes that I find online and it’s frustrating because in order to figure out the serving size you have to weigh the entire end product before digging in. Even if I don’t enter the giveaway I will certainly buy this book if I know the serving sizes are listed . Thank you for your time in getting back to me.
Keto inspired,
Yemaya

Thank you for your kind words, Yemaya! It is just the preview that is missing this piece of information because all of my recipes include number of servings plus serving sizes (where it's possible to determine it precisely). I hope this helps 😊

1. Buying non-fashionalbe meats (offal and fattier cuts) and about to go bad vegetables
2. Using slow-cooker
3. Freezing leftovers, keeping a list of all things in the freezer, planning meals in advance
Bonus 4. Fasting

I'm so glad to see #1 in your list! That is what I'm buying all the time! And it pairs well with a slow cooker that can cook even the toughest meat cuts to perfection 😊

To save time and money, I batch cook. Get 12 eggs hardboiled, chop spinach and veggies, whip up a dressing of mayo, butter, Apple cider vinegar and spices -- divvy up into containers with 2 peeled eggs each. Grab and go! Plus I make a batch of fat bombs with butter, coconut oil, on and cocoa. Freeze 1 table spoon portions. Put small nut mixes in zippy bags to grab and go, too!

My top three hints for saving time and money are buying ingredients in bulk (even though there are just two of us). Items like coconut oil and almond flour are much cheaper at places like Costco than buying online. I also cook in bulk and freeze in meal size portions for work lunches and dinners on busy nights. My third hint is to watch for sales on ingredients I use a lot and stock up. For example, Lily's chocolate chips go on sale at the area Whole Foods, Sprouts, and Natural Grocers about three times a year, that is when I stock up. Happy cooking.

So the way I get by is : 1- try to know your schedule, know what meals need to be done ahead of time. 2- batch cook everything 3- tupperware and a chest freezer!

Agnes 6 years ago # Reply

Money saving tip: I love to buy organic products on sale. You can find good quality meat much cheaper one day before expiry date. Either I make lunch or dinner with it the next day or freeze it for later use.
Meal prep is unfortunately not my strength, but I do like to plan ahead, in order to use up all the veggies that I have in the fridge and minimize waste.

Kasmin Fernandes (https://kasmin.wordpress.com/) 6 years ago # Reply

Hi,
I am so excited about reading a copy of your slow cooker recipes. Slow cooking tastes so delicious because it retains the essential flavour of the dish. I have been on the ketogenic diet for 8 months now, with a cyclical keto variation and have lost over 10kg and sustained it. Some of the recipes I follow on a daily basis come from the Keto diet app website (thank you!).
My top 3 meal prep and cooking tips:
1. I eat eggs as part of my keto diet almost daily. To make soft boiled eggs with no hassle and half the time, let eggs boil on the pan with a pinch of salt. Once the eggs start boiling, wait for only a minute or two and switch off the gas. Cover the pan for not more than 4 minutes. Drain the hot water and pour tap water on the boiled eggs. Do this one more time and then peel the eggs. The eggs peel off easily. When you slice into them, the yolks are golden brown and taste delicious.
2. I am in the habit of chopping vegetables 1-2 days ahead. I read in a book on nutrition that storing green leafy vegetables (in the fridge or outside) for more than 2 days reduces their nutritive value. One vegetable to avoid chopping ahead of time is cucumbers since they have the highest water content. It takes a minute to chop / grate cucumber so I add them to my keto salads just before serving.
3. I used to use chicken fresh until I noticed what middle eastern restaurants in India do to prep chicken for kebabs. I started marinating chicken pieces for keto recipes in a large amount of full fat Greek yoghurt for 12-36 hours. The difference in taste and texture is unearthly. It's super soft and there is no chewiness. I cook with the yoghurt and use it as a rich sauce.

Mary Parsley 6 years ago # Reply

1. I shop in bulk, as much as possible. This not only saves time, but money.
2. I prep my meals the night before, including dinner for the next night. I have to be at work very early, but don’t get back until dinner time. I know if everything is not ready to cook when I get home then I won’t want to cook at all.
3. I cook large quantities of food so I have a number of left overs. I split them up into servings and leave half in the fridge and put half in the freezer because I know I won’t want to eat them all before they go bad. It makes it easy to have something in the freezer for lunches and dinners when you don’t have the time or energy to make something.

First of all.. I love your recipes!
3 time and money saving and cooking/meal tips...
I like to plan ahead.. for weeks.. but I am also fussy about how long I can stash frozen home cooked dishes.
So I love slow cooker meals I can freeze. You save by buying the ingredients in bulk and time by cooking a huge "bucket" of curry, chili, ....
What I love about the huge amounts and hot dishes is that the taste/spiciness changes over time. So you don't really get fed up when eating once a week the same dish.
One thing to keep in mind is the expiration date of frozen foods. I don't want to cook 3 huge pots a week. One pot per week should be enough. So I started to plan 8 favourite meals which I repeat cooking every 8 weeks.
Experiment with spices to change it up. Spices are rather inexpensive. Do not buy too cheap spices. There is a huge quality gap between the cheap stuff and the expensive organic stuff. But the quality products smell and taste so much better and therefore you need to use less of the spice which makes you save money 😊.
Also. It's only time saving when you think it's time saving. Most people are just too lazy to cook something small from scratch. Cutting veggies and meat and knowing your ingredients are probably 10 more minutes per meal in comparison to some frozen death-by-sugar crap. You can't buy health. So eating healthy will for sure save you money on the long run.
In the last couple of years organic foods started to get cheaper. In Europe it's sometimes cheaper to buy organic food than "normal" brand names. Comparing prices helps but don't obsess otherwise it takes up a lot of your time.

I appreciate the opportunity to win one of your new books. I prefer to use a slow cooker because I can put it on early in the day and know that a meal will be ready for us in the evening, as I autoimmune disease by evening I am tired and struggle to know what I am doing.

My top time and money saving tips? First, I always buy in bulk- I use usually the same basic prosucts, so I can buy a lot and it's cheaper. Second- I plan meals once a week and I try to cook for minimum two days and store leftovers in the fridge/ freezer. And last but not least, I try to eat sezonally and buy locally- it's not only cheaper, but also healthier 😊

My time saving tips are:
Cook a whole chicken and get 3 different meals out of it. With the broth and some of the meat I make a chicken soup. With the remaining chicken I make chicken tacos. And with the chicken bones I make broth.
When making sauces, make double the amount to allow one of the portions to be saved for a second nights use when time is limited.
When you don't have time to do much. Pick up a rotisserie chicken and use it to make chicken salad. You can save the carcass for making bone broth later.

Cut/prep vegetables w/in a day or two of buying saves on waste and speeds up cooking meals.
Buy meats in bulk when on sale portion in freezer bags w/ different marinades. Check out Zaycon for saving money on meat & seafood. https://zayconfresh.com/refer/zf497407
Use w/ prepped fresh or bagged frozen veggies for a quick & healthy slow cooker meal or stir fry. Saves $$$, time and is great on the go in the morning or for a fast stir fry.

1. Double the recipe and freeze one (or share that second one with a Keto friend who's doing the same, so you can each have two different meals)
2. Buy in bulk (investing in a second fridge/freezer—doesn't have to be fancy—is one of the best time saving helps)
3. Create a "baking box" that has all your staple Keto baking items in it. I have a large tupperware "tub" that contains: Swerve (both granulated and confectioners), baking soda, salt, vanilla, coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, cocoa, Lilly's chocolate, Xantham gum, etc... So when I'm baking, I just grab that tub from the pantry and I'm 90% there with my ingredients.

My top 3 time and money saving tips are as follows:
1. Buy family pack trays of meat when they go on special - boneless, skinless chicken thighs, ground meat, or stewing meat are great options for slow-cooking
2. Use the family packs to make a double-batch slow-cooker recipe like meat sauce, meatballs, stew or chilli and freeze half of it.
3. Take a day on the weekend to make a variety of slow-cooker meal baggies to store in the freezer. Simply drop the frozen content in the slow-cooker in the morning and let it cook for 10 hours.

I save time and money buying larger quantities of meat and veggies and preparing them all at the same time. I usually mix up 2 or 3 meals and package them in meal size containers and freeze them. I put some in containers for dinner 2 or 3 servings and some in lunch size containers, 1 serving. This saves me time and I have a variety of options ready to go.

Slow cookers are amazing for a mum as you can just prep the meal and leave it to cook. My favourite is pulled pork in the slow cooker it just melts and is great with some crunchy coleslaw on the side.
I also love a good roast, whether it's lamb, pork, beef or a whole chicken there are always lots of leftovers for making lunches or dinners and a great way to keep your meat bill down. In terms of vegetables if you want to save time and money there are some great frozen options which especially when the verges are out of season are just as good as fresh as they are picked and packed at their prime.

I love to cook in my pressure cooker, it makes meal time quick and easy. Since there is only 2 of us in the house, we usually cook extra so we have leftovers for lunch the next day. I buy lettuce and prep it for easy salads with some protein and nuts for a quick meal when we don't feel like cooking.

My favorite ways to save time during cooking and meal prep include the use of my pressure cooker, making more than is needed for the meal and then freezing some for another time, and cooking a week's meals at one time and then having them all ready to go for the rest of the week by reheating and adding fresh items, such as a salad).

My top 3 tips are:
1. When buying ingredients that I normally just use in small amounts, such as chili peppers, I think it's better to buy in bulk. Chili peppers, for example, can be cut up and de-seeded before being popped into the freezer. Whenever I want to add a small kick to a dish, I just grab a piece and heat it straight in the pan. It's literally ready to use within seconds.
2. I ignore sell-by-dates and best-before-dates. These are, for obvious reasons, heavily on the conservative side with shops following a 'just in case I get sued' mentality (IMO). I think it's much better to just use your common sense together with your ordinary senses. Ingredients that have gone off either look, smell, or taste strange. A quick check is enough to tell me whether to put it in the bin or in the pot. It saves money on throwing out ingredients unnecessarily.
3. I'm very careful to save money when buying meat. A whole chicken is cheaper than buying breast, thighs, wings etc. separately. Cheaper cuts of beef stew or slow-cook very well and are cheaper. Pork is cheaper than beef etc. I always go to a local butcher where I can get bones and chicken carcasses thrown in for free, later to be used when making delicious homemade stock.
I'm living on a very tight budget but always try not to skimp on quality when it comes to food. I buy organic free-range eggs etc. (which is still a cheaper source of protein than meat). It does mean though that I don't buy expensive ingredients such as almond flour, sweeteners etc, so no low-carb treats for me! I've still got hundreds of delicious low-carb recipes to choose from. 😊

I’ve never been an inventive cook so using a slow cooker is right up my alley. I would welcome & appreciate the Keto Slow Cooker and One-Pot Meals cookbook!

love your recipes, Thank you so very much. I use them in my ketogenic cancer diet for my husband who was stage 4 melanoma in 2010 but has been tumour free for the past 4 years.
Would love to win the books, would really help.

Wow so happy for you and your husband. God is awesome. Can you please share what you mean by the ketogenic cancer diet. Is it a lot different from the regular keto diet. Thanks

For time saving tips.
1) love using my Instapot to cook with. It cuts cooking time way down. For those all day slow simmer days I absolutely the slow cooker.
2)To shred chicken for certain recipes I use my electric mixer to get the shredding done fast.
3)To save time on my daily healthy snacking I pre bag those things into single serving baggies. For instance at the first of the week I will take my almonds I plan to eat for that week, and weigh out a serving and put them into individual baggies so when that day comes I can just grab a bag and put it in my lunch box and go.

Prep all your veggies for the week on a day off. Make flavor bombs and freeze in ice cube trays for a quick way to add flavor. Shop Farmer's Markets when possible to get the freshest, cheap, local and seasonal produce.

I always prep for the weeks meals, veggies etc and have them ready to put in crockpot in the morning, I also always have a game plan for the week, what to do each day for the next days meal like "Monday , take chicken out of freezer" , planning dinners, preparing meals to freeze is also on my list . I try to do a big prep day several times a year so when life gets busy I can take a fully prepped meal out of the freezer and into the crockpot or instant pot !

Always use coupons, always make a list before going to the store and prepare your foods ( get it out and do any shopping before you need to cook it) and have your food items sitting by the stove before you get started cooking.

In our house, the biggest thing that keeps me from staying Keto is dinner. I think a slow-cooker routine could be the answer!

Thank you Martina! I have this on again off again relationship with keto so I am hoping that your new book will help inspire a real commitment. No pressure! HAHA My top three time and money saving cooking/meal prep tips are: 1) Do your research! Make sure that you have access to all of the ingredients especially if they are unfamiliar to you. Living in Alaska and being new to keto was a real misadventure in the natural food store. I bought a $15 jar of some strange [but tasty] paste to only use a few spoonfulls of it. Basically the tip is to plan ahead and order some things online because it can get VERY expensive if you do not. Which means it might not be a time saver...but...hey! You might also research a dup. for the exotic item and that might save time and money too. 2) Start with a SIMPLE meal plan. I started with a very advantageous "beginner" meal plan and was quickly WAY in over my head when it came to my grocery haul and preparation. I learned a lot because I couldn't bare to waste the mountain of ingredients that I just spent hundreds of dollars on for a week of meals. Start real simple and that should save you from despair...I mean time and money. >_< 3) Find someone else who is interested in keto or already is doing keto and see if you can split all of these downloadable cookbook bundles and meal plan bundles. This is a rapidly growing community and I wish I knew someone in my circle who I could share my bounty of info with. I already paid for that so maybe THEY could save time and money that way. vice versa. ok, thank you for reading this if you got all the way to the end. ❤ ~Crystal

My best time- AND money-saving tip? Always keep some hard boiled eggs in the fridge. They are very reasonably priced, even if you buy organic. They can be deviled, made into egg salad or fat bombs - each with lots of different flavor profiles,depending on the herbs and spices you add. They can also be eaten as-is, the perfect on-the-go snack!

Top time-saving meal prep tips: 1) chop up a bunch of veggies for the week and keep them in Tupperware in the fridge - scrambled eggs and veggies, salads, everything becomes so much easier! 2) Amazon's subscribe and save feature saves me a ton of money AND time shopping for things I use every month, like keto flours, snacks, etc. 3) Keeping one or two sets of complete meal staples in the house at all times (like ground beef + taco seasoning for easy taco salads) means if I run out of time to cook a full on meal, haven't made it to the store yet, or just don't feel like whatever was on the meal plan for the night I'm still covered 😊

I've only been doing keto for a few weeks, but I already can tell a really big amount of difference even though I've had to cheat a lot due to traveling and visting relatives for 3 weeks out of the time period. I've enjoyed the recipes and tips I've received from this site, and I really really want that slow cooker! S. Collins

1. I buy and bake bone-in ham and then make split pea soup with the bone, after the ham has been eaten.
2.I always cook double the amount of food, so there will be leftovers in the freezer for future quick meals.
3. I don't peel most veggies....

I'm really excited about this book! I don't have any time or money saving tips at the moment—I'm trying to figure these things out myself! One thing that I have found that works for me is to use the Plan to Eat website/app—it helps me plan out my meals so very little goes to waste, and the app makes shopping very helpful. Plus it's easy to import my favorite KetoDiet recipes!

I would just love to win this combination, although I have already preordered the book. I love Martina's work so much, and everyone in my family could do with such a gem, because you don't find it in bookstores in France! Also, I really would love to own a slow cooker, another thing you can't buy here... thank you for your generosity anyway !
