December 29th is my four year ketoversary! Four whole years. I spent a lifetime wishing I could lose weight and be at peace with my appetite and food. When I found keto that day just after Christmas, I did not understand this would be the thing that would heal...
Chayote are cute little green squash that show up in the fall at our local Wal-Mart and with a little effort, it’s entirely possible to have a very nice keto-style “apple” crumble for the fall season! This dessert runs about 12 carbs per serving by my count, excluding the...

I recently learned that our local Vitamin Shoppe is carrying Fat Snax, a keto cookie; and Drop an F Bomb, which are packets of nut butters for on-the-go or travel situations. The chocolate version of the F Bombs have sugar (so the caution to read ingredient lists stands as...
I recently discovered that my grandson is a meatball fan. Okay, so these aren’t Olive Garden meatballs, but he and the rest of the family loved these! Mark enjoyed this appetizer on the patio before the rest of the fam arrived. I mixed two pounds of ground beef, one...
