They’re fabulous on their own, of course, but together, pumpkin and chocolate are a match made in heaven! Pumpkin does double duty in this easy-to-make chocolatey mug cake: it lends a warm autumnal flavor and ensures a moist texture. No need to use flour: this treat gets its wonderfully cakey texture from cacao powder, baking powder, and egg. Watch the video to see how beautifully this fab mug cake rises in the microwave!

Fruity Curried Mayo Sauce or Dip
“Insanely delicious!” declared a friend of mine, when I gave her a sample of this sauce. “This is reeeeeally good!” my husband exclaimed when he tasted this sauce for the first time. They’re not the only ones. I fell head over heels in love with this incredible condiment myself once I’d perfected the recipe.

ABC (Avocado Bacon Cajun) Meatballs
I admit it, I’m not a genius — but this dish sure is! Making a healthy dinner is as easy as ABC — literally. You need only 5 ingredients and a few minutes to prepare this delicious, family-friendly meal.
These meatballs check all the boxes. First of all, they’re full of taste. Rich avocado provides a creamy texture and good fats; ground beef is a great source of protein; and Cajun seasoning adds a sharp kick that complements the mellow avocado and acts as an all-around flavor enhancer. And no dish would be complete without bacon, right?!
You can use other flavorful seasonings apart from Cajun (whether they start with the letter C or not!) Take a look at my experiments with different seasonings in this post and choose your favorite ones. And there are more tips for variations at the end of the post, as always.

As always, you’ll find more tips for variations at the end of the post.

Rich, savory and buttery, this scrumptious 4-ingredient cream cheese- and butter-based spread is a perfect topping for your low-carb or keto bread — kind of like a homemade version of Boursin, the popular (and terribly addictive!) herbed garlic-cheese spread.
