While some keto recipes can be overly filled with dairy, I selected recipes that are either dairy-free or low in dairy to ensure you’re pleasing your palate but still feel like you’re taking in a health-conscious meal.

I hope you enjoy these keto Mexican recipes! If you make any of them, be sure to report back and tell me what you made!

Sexy dinner recipes for Valentine’s Day that are clean, simple, and easy to prepare! These sultry aphrodisiac recipes are perfect for sharing with your partner.

Do you enjoy cooking for your special someone? For me, preparing a meal to nourish someone you care about can be one of the most heartfelt actions. Not to mention, depending on the meal and vibe, it can create unparalleled intimacy!

I have spoken about aphrodisiac foods on this site numerous times. Not only can food be medicine, but it also dramatically affects the way your body feels, from energy level to mood to libido. 

For this reason, I thought I would share some sexy dinner recipes for Valentine’s Day to inspire your sultry dinner with your companion. 

What Foods Are Aphrodisiacs?

The following foods are known to stimulate your desire to get your groove on:

Meat, asparagus, shellfish and seafood (particularly oysters), chocolate, nuts, red wine, chilies, strawberries, figs, ginger, and avocado. 

While beets aren’t mentioned in a google search, I am 3000% convinced beets are the ultimate aphrodisiac. Just food for thought.

Remember, certain herbs and roots have a powerful aphrodisiac effect as well! Consider saffron, maca, ginseng, fenugreek, and more.

What Makes a Food an Aphrodisiac?

Foods that stimulate blood flow (this includes blood flow to your loins), increase your energy, and boost your mood are considered to increase sexual desire. 

Not to mention, many of these foods have ancillary health benefits – they are natural anti-inflammatories and antidepressants.

In pursuit of making your Valentine’s Day special, I have included some of my favorite sexy recipes from around the web in this post.

67 Low-Carb Dinner Recipes that are easy to prepare, perfect for meal prep and are great for those looking to make changes to their diet or maintain a carb-conscious lifestyle.

For those of you who are looking to clean up your diet after the holidays, I’ve gotchu. Before we dive into this recipe roundup, it’s important to mention I don’t recommend any one style of eating as a blanketed template, as our body’s needs are constantly shifting.  

I do find eating a diet that is lower in carbohydrate tends to be how I personally function best. It is also sustainable for my body type, where eating low-carb for some people can be the kiss of death. 

Regardless of your diet protocol, be mindful of what you are changing and observe your body’s reaction. Avoid “sticking it out” or “suffering through it” when something feels drastically wrong.

Why Eat Low-Carb?:

Again, I will never tell you how to eat. I will, however, tell you why one would choose to eat a diet low in carbohydrate. 

Depending on your body chemistry, carbohydrate raises your blood sugar and can cause inflammation when eaten in excess. Higher blood sugar can result in insulin resistance or diabetes when left unchecked, leading to a slew of ancillary health issues. If you find you are constantly hungry, become angry or anxious if you go more than a few hours without eating, crave sugar or fatty processed foods, or if you experience mood and energy shifts, you could be insulin resistant. While this may not be life-threatening in the short term, it can lead to diabetes in the long-term. 

Chronic inflammation in your body can also lead to numerous health complications and diseases as well as hormonal imbalance, gut dysbiosis and more. Chronic inflammation reduces your body’s natural immune system, making it more difficult to clear toxins, fight and prevent disease. All disease is the result of inflammation, so monitoring your inflammation is the best insurance policy you could possibly buy into. 

When to Eat Low-Carb:

Uncovering how your body functions best is your journey. I shift my diet to low-carb when I notice something is off with my digestive system (i.e. I’m constipated, gassy, my poop is just weird, etc), when I’m noticing big shifts in energy or mood, wake up feeling puffy for no reason, and/or when I’ve put on some extra pounds that I’d rather not have. 

When I shift my diet to include less sugar or carbohydrate, I notice an immediate difference in my energy level and mood. Within a few days, I feel trimmer and my digestive system usually resets itself. That said, the process of feeling better can require more time for those whose bodies are not accustomed to eating low carb and need time to detoxify. Your starting point matters here.

How to make turkey bone broth in your Instant Pot, slow cooker, or stove top. Use the bones from your Thanksgiving turkey to make bone broth!

Bone broth is a part of my daily diet, and I absolutely love making it myself. Not only is bone broth delicious, but it is also packed with nutrients that are difficult to get anywhere else. Collagen and gelatin are the building blocks of our connective tissue, skin, nails, and are also essential for the health of our gut lining.

For those who suffer from gut issues, and or have been trying to heal leaky gut, bone broth is your friend! 

If you have a leftover turkey carcass from Thanksgiving, or have stock-piled bones from cooking chicken, beef or pork, you can easily make bone broth in your pressure cooker, slow cooker, or on the stove top. Let’s hop to it!
