Low Carb Chocolate Avocado Ice Cream
This is delicious, healthy, full of good fat and only about 15 grams of net carbs per serving. I recommend you use the, ‘Hu Kitchen Dark Chocolate Bar’ –they are super clean, made of only cacao, coconut sugar and cocoa butter. This makes 2 servings (although it’s one serving for me). If you want toContinue reading “Low Carb Chocolate Avocado Ice Cream”
Spinach, Chicken and Turkey Quinoa Bowl
First off, I hope everyone reading this is safe and comfortable.

Caesar Salad Recipe
Nicole’s Homemade Mayonnaise Facing the ugly truth, I had to give up Hellman’s, being 92% soybean oil. But I loved the taste, texture, consistency, look, smell, and feel of Hellman’s, to say nothing of BLTs, and couldn’t find a substitute I liked. Once I did, I realize it’s not the bread but the Hellman’s thatContinue reading “Caesar Salad Recipe”

The Gift of Magnesium
Can we talk about magnesium for a minute? Call me crazy, but I can get quite effusive when discussing this powerhouse macro mineral.

Turkey Tacos
MEAL PREP: Turkey Tacos Right now is a really amazing time to be low carb, gluten, and grain free. There are numerous companies that make alternate versions of your favorite carbs, and these days you won’t lose all of your friends for replacing rice, mashed potatoes, and pizza crust with cauliflower (only most of your friends). I’mContinue reading “Turkey Tacos”
Stuffed Cabbage
MEAL PREP: Stuffed Cabbage My favorite cheat meal is a burrito. 90% of the time I follow the Paleo diet, and only eat meat, vegetables, eggs, nuts and seeds. I don’t eat grain, beans, or dairy, and a burrito is all of those things wrapped up in another thing that I don’t eat. So it’sContinue reading “Stuffed Cabbage”
