The Coronavirus pandemic has many self-quarantined for much of this year. I’ve altered my lifestyle given my three autoimmune diseases and the pandemic’s impact on our family.
A lot has changed and so I find myself leaning into cozy enjoyable things like keto comfort foods more than ever!
Recipes for Keto Comfort Foods
In the beginning of quarantine when the boys were home, we cooked large, somewhat elaborate meals and desserts.
Then we switched over to fun easy comfort food dinners like Corn Dog Muffins and Carrot Fries along with huge salads smothered in my Ranch Dressing. Nothing fancy, but for sure fun! That’s what comfort food is all about.
Keto Comfort Foods
The boys are back in school so it’s just the two of us. Mr. Pantry loves my Bacon Tart and makes a mean kale stir fry to go along with it.
Since he’s now on a Low-Carb Paleo Diet with me it’s easier than ever to whip up keto comfort foods.

What is a Comfort Food?
We all know why comfort food makes you happy, and I especially love having comfort food when sick.
In fact, my favorite is Bubby’s Low-Carb Matzo Ball Soup. Remember chicken soup is considered Jewish penicillin, and it’s also a fantastic winter comfort food.
If you’re looking for comfort food when sad you might want to lick the screen and think about these Chocolate Decadence Cookies.
Read on to get my comfort food list full of comfort food dinner ideas, Shepherd’s Pie is the best, and comfort food snacks, like homemade Keto Goldfish Crackers, and so much more!
Are There Healthy Comfort Foods?
People often ask me, how do you define comfort food, and what makes it healthy? Well, healthy comfort food dishes are made with basic wholesome real food ingredients that do not have added sugar, are not processed, or loaded with chemicals.

First and foremost, THANK YOU for the free recipes!! It’s so refreshing to see the kind and thoughtful simple act of sharing :)
Now down to business!! I have raw organic protein powder for weight loss. That will work for the Keto Bread, won’t it? I’m thinking it may not be as “fluffy,” but I have a big container already that I’d like to use without buying the egg protein just for the bread. I’d appreciate any insight you have on this!!
I can’t wait to start making some of these recipes!! I’m starting keto after Thanksgiving, so the timing is perfect!! And as fate would have it, Eggplant Parmesan is my #1 favorite dish of all time, so…YAY for that recipe!! Thank you again.

Sheryl, you’re very welcome! I haven’t tried that substitution in the Keto Bread and doubt it would work. Feel free to experiment and let us know how it goes :-)

Elana , my husband and I love your eggplant Parmesan, in fact we had it for dinner last week, there was enough left to serve it for 2 nights! It only gets better from sitting overnight! I love it with steamed cauliflower or cauliflower rice.
We also love your cinnamon coffee cake!
I am finding it hard to keep my spirits up with the pandemic but the sun is shining for the next 3 days and that really helps!
We are in Canada so we don’t have your election hysteria but we do follow the news and it only adds to the anxiety level.
Stay healthy and safe, I love your site, your opinions and especially your recipes! Xxoo
Elana says
Sheila, thanks for your comment, and we totally agree, the eggplant parm only gets better as it sits! And we also love the coffee cake. Today was a good day for me in terms of the election, but we’ll see how it plays out. Take good care :-)
