An Italian-inspired keto spread, all home-cooked here in Metro Manila:

🍳 Truffle Scrambled Eggs — soft, creamy egg curds finished with truffle for that rich, earthy aroma
🌿 Roast Chicken Pesto — juicy roast chicken with a fresh nut-free basil pesto, naturally low-carb
🧀 Beef Zucchini Lasagna — zucchini sheets instead of pasta, layered with beef and cheese
🦐 Tuscan Seafood with Spinach & Tomato — seafood simmered in a creamy garlic sauce with spinach and tomatoes

No pasta, no rice — just swaps that keep the carbs low while still tasting indulgent. Italian comfort food without the crash afterward. 😌

A little keto Filipino spread, all home-cooked here in Metro Manila:

🍲 Beef & Olives Caldereta — sayote instead of potato to keep it low-carb
🐟 Bangus Belly ala Pobre — loaded with toasted garlic over crispy belly
🍜 Chicken Shirataki ala "Sotanghon" Guisado — shirataki noodles, so it's guilt-free
🟣 Ube Kasuy Chia Champorado — chia and cashew, a keto-friendly dessert

"noodle" here is swapped out to keep the carbs low but still filling. I really enjoy plating meals like this.

Hi everyone! A few years ago, my husband got a scary check-up — borderline diabetic, overweight, and we had two young kids depending on us. He'd tried everything (CrossFit, juicing, intermittent fasting) and nothing stuck.

I've always had a background in food, so I took it on as a personal mission: research keto properly and cook meals that would actually help him — but that he'd genuinely want to eat. That was the real challenge. Most "diet food" is boring and sad, and nobody sticks to sad food. So I obsessed over making low-carb versions of the dishes we already loved — Filipino, Japanese, Chinese — using things like cauliflower rice and shirataki noodles.

It worked. He lost the weight, his energy came back, and then friends started asking, "Can you cook for me too?" That's how Meals by Lily began — literally from our own dinner table. Today we deliver keto meals across Metro Manila, and our family still eats the exact same dishes we send to clients.

Some honest lessons from turning home cooking into a real business:

Making it delicious is the whole business. Anyone can make food low-carb. Making it something people crave every week is the hard, non-negotiable part.

Word of mouth beat every promo. Our biggest growth came from happy clients telling friends. Genuine reviews mattered more than anything I posted online.

The kitchen is the easy part. Portioning, packing, and daily delivery logistics humbled me fast.

I undercharged out of fear. Learning to price for quality ingredients — instead of pricing to please everyone — was a huge mindset shift as a woman running her own thing.

Mom-guilt is real but building something my kids can be proud of made it worth the early mornings.

More than a business, this became a mission for us: to show Filipinos that eating healthy doesn't have to mean boring, joyless food — and that keto isn't just hype, but a sustainable way to avoid the diet-related illnesses that hit so many of our families. If even one person here rethinks their next meal, that's a win. Happy to swap notes with anyone on healthy eating or building a food business from home. Kaya natin 'to! 🙏
