Let’s get together and cook! --Jim Keto, Vegetarian, Mediterranean or Dairy-Free Eating healthy includes many unique opportunities. This week we have included different types of menus, all of which include Fustini’s for healthy and flavorful foods. KETO Keto is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Almond flour is a great white flour substitute to make even more dishes Keto friendly or gluten free. Substitute ratio 1:1. You may need to add additional egg to help bind the flour for baking. Turnips make a great addition to any keto-friendly dish, especially for potatoes or carrots! Check out more of our keto-friendly recipes HERE.
VEGET ARIAN Many of our vegetable dishes may contain chicken broth. An easy substitution is to use vegetable broth. See more of our vegetarian recipes HERE.
MEDITERRANEAN The Mediterranean lifestyle is characterized especially by a high consumption of vegetables and olive oil and moderate consumption of protein. Fustini’s olive oils that work great for Mediterranean cuisine include Gremolata, Garlic and Meyer Lemon.

DAIRY-FREE Dairy free recipes do not contain any milk or milk products from cows, sheep or goats. Use almond milk at a 1:1 ratio for 2% or whole milk to keep your dishes creamy and dairy-free. For additional creaminess, try including mashed avocado when able. Did you know that Fustini’s Butter olive oil is dairy-free!? Try these dairy-free Fustini’s recipes HERE.
