It's nice having guests over for a sleepover. But it can be a hassle making breakfast for them the next day.

If you want to serve eggs, your guests can have so many preferences. Over easy, sunny side up, scrambled, fried, … the list goes on.

So, you end up being a short-order cook. And that's no fun.

This asparagus mushroom dish is a dish that everyone will love. And it makes 8 servings, so there's plenty for everyone.

It's tasty, cheesy, and has plenty of veggies. So, you're not only getting your protein but antioxidants too.

And one slice contains only 207 calories. So, it's perfect for weight loss.

Making it is pretty easy too. Now, that's my kind of breakfast.

2. Easy Keto Broccoli Cheese Slow Cooker Soup

When it's wintertime, you just want to hibernate. And slurp some soup.

This soup is creamy, cheesy, and oh so comforting. It feels like a warm hug.

That's because you're cooking it in a slow cooker. So, all the flavors fully develop.

So, make sure you have a slow cooker. If you don't have one, this one won't break the bank.

Besides being delicious, this soup is pretty nutritious. The broccoli provides Vitamin C, which is good for your immune system.

Meanwhile, the cheese provides calcium, which is good for healthy bones.

Now, this soup uses fresh broccoli. But if you don't have fresh broccoli on hand, you can use frozen.

Just make sure to reduce your cooking time by half. That's because the frozen broccoli will cook a lot faster.

Time for another egg dish. After all, you can never get enough eggs, right?

This frittata isn't your typical frittata. That's because it's full of Mediterranean flavors.

From the leeks, to the feta cheese, to the fresh dill. Your taste buds will be delighted.

To make it, you'll need an oven-proof skillet. That's because you'll be cooking your frittata on the stovetop before placing it in the oven to bake.

I recommend this skillet here. It's not only oven-proof, it also cooks food evenly. So, you don't have undercooked eggs in some places and overcooked eggs in other places. Yuck!

5. Crustless Spinach Cheese Pie

Credit: lowcarbyum.com

I'm a big fan of pies, as I'm sure many of you are too. But I'm not a big fan of all the carbs they contain.

That's because of the crust. Just one serving of pie crust has a whopping 19 grams of net carbs.

And as great as the pie crust is, it's not worth ditching your skinny jeans.

With this cheese pie, you get all the taste of pie…without all the carbs. You've got ooey-gooey layers of cheese layered with spinach.

Also, it not only tastes great but is good for you too. Besides being high in protein, it is also rich in calcium.

And it's also a great source of immune-boosting Vitamin A. Also, unlike regular pies, this one contains only 2 grams of net carbs.

Best of all, it only takes 2 minutes of prep time. Then you step back and let your oven bake, bake, bake.

It's nice hosting dinner parties. You get to enjoy the awesome company and eat great food.

But when you're vegetarian, and your guests aren't, it can be a pain. You don't want to make vegetarian food that your guests politely eat.

Then, when they head home, they stop by the drive-thru for burgers. Ouch!

Stuffed mushrooms are sure to be a crowd-pleaser. They're scrumptious, cheesy, and have a nice meaty texture.

Best of all, they're ready in only 30 minutes.

Are you looking for a dairy-free meal idea? I've got you covered.

This curry tastes just as good as it looks. It's creamy, savory, sweet, and has some heat.

And the green bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots add tons of color and freshness. And there's not a hint of dairy.

To get the creaminess, you'll be using coconut milk. Additionally, to boost the protein content, you'll be adding tofu and protein powder.

Just make sure you use vegan protein powder to keep the meal dairy-free. You'll also want to make sure it has a neutral flavor in order not to overpower the curry. I recommend this one here as it contains only 1 gram of net carbs per serving.

One of the keys to keeping up with your diet is to have your meals prepped. By having your meals prepped, you're less likely to give in to temptation.

They're easy to make, and last a couple of days in the fridge.

And they're so yummy that you'll think you're cheating on your diet. But you're not.

In fact, one serving contains only 6 grams of net carbs.

They also contain potassium, which you need for healthy blood pressure.

To keep them tasting fresh longer, just make sure you store them in airtight food storage containers.

Glass ones like these are a great option because they don't leak chemicals into your food. However, if you prefer lighter containers, these BPA-free containers are a good choice.

I love lasagna, as I'm sure many of you do too. But lasagna doesn't love us back.

That's because it has a ton of carbs. And extra carbs mean wearing baggy clothes.
