On the left, two years ago. The shot on the right was taken this month. These days non-black pants don’t scare me quite so much. I found these at Goodwill–a pair of Old Navy’s in a size 8. It’s another one of those too-good-to-be-true things about keto that I...
This recipe is adapted from Against All Grain by Danielle Walker and I want to give a shout out to her. Danielle has a great story of recovery from an autoimmune disease through a paleo style nutrition. Her recipes are not keto as she can use various forms...
An old, old recipe from House of Grace in my hometown of Paducah, Ky. We all loved going there during the 70’s and 80’s to eat Curtis Grace’s good food. His restaurant has moved, but he’s still there cooking for the locals. I omitted one little ingredient to make...
Well, a year and a half low carb/keto. I wonder when I’ll stop counting?? In some ways, it seems like yesterday that I saw that first facebook post that sent me off in this direction. It was a life-changing moment. In other ways, it’s starting to feel like ....
One of our favorites! We have this most every week. If you need a dish for a potluck, double it. It goes over very well and no one has to know that it’s a low carb/keto dish. It also keeps well for a couple of days in the fridge...
You ask yourself: “what would I love?” Even better, you spend some time writing down the answers you get to that question about what you’d love. And then you start looking for a little spark of belief: “Maybe it’s possible?” You think about the possibility, even if it seems...
So many of my friends getting on the low carb keto wagon! Ran into a former co-worker the other day at Aldi’s and she’s lost 44 pounds! And another friend wrote me that she’s lost 18 pounds and her blood sugars are down. YaY! Just yesterday I heard from...
I hear so many people say, “Oh, I could never give up bread”. . . or “Oh, I could never give up sugar” . . . or fruit, or carbs, or chips, etc. etc. etc. Sigh. Yes, I know. It’s hard to think about never eating a beloved food...
One of my favorite things about this way of eating is being able to have full-fat, beautiful dressings to go with salads. I used to hate all those low-fat, low-calorie versions that are mostly water back before I found keto. I buy no-sugar, full-fat dressings from the store to...
We love chicken wings here at our house. And this week’s version was the easiest version ever. Thaw, pat dry, salt & pepper, then deep fry in lard. That’s it. They were great! (The cookbook The 30 Day Ketogenic Cleanse is a new one to us. Lots of dairy...
