Keto Recipes, Reviews, and Tips
If you haven’t had the chance to try my recipe for low carb chocolate chip brownies yet, then I feel a little bad for you. Not just because you’re missing out on some chocolatey deliciousness, but also because you now have a pretty difficult choice to make: make the brownies and enjoy them as is, or use the batter to […]

Like a lot of low carb protein bars, ZenBars taste best when slightly warmed (and even better when baked into high protein cookies!) Like a lot of low carb protein bars, ZenBars taste best when slightly warmed (and even better when baked into high protein cookies!)

Whether you’ve been eating low carb for as long as I have (going on nine months, woo!) or just started a few weeks ago, I know I can’t be the only one that feels like keto pushes you to try new things. I don’t just mean new things like eating bacon seven days a week, although that’s certainly a fun […]

Now I know the keto community has a lot of overlap with the paleo and whole foods communities, who don’t tend to look too kindly on supplemental sources of protein like bars and powders. But while I really wish that I could consistently hit my protein macros solely from unprocessed foods, there are usually a couple of days a week when […]

So maybe you just read the title of this post, or you’ve seen a picture of these babies on my Instagram, and you’re thinking, “Hey, I like chocolate.

In my pre-keto attempts to cut calories, I used to be in love with these microwavable breakfast sandwiches. They weren’t fantastic tasting (the bread was distinctly cardboard-y), but they were pretty good, especially considering that they only took a few minutes to make. Well, I have to admit that this keto version of a breakfast sandwich takes a little longer to make…but it’s […]

When it comes to the dessert trifecta of cakes, cookies, and pies, I have to admit that cookies have always been my favorite. So much so, in fact, that I’m actually one of those people who have bought that huge 5-pound tub of chocolate chip cookie dough from Sam’s Club/Costco. More than once. I’m not proud of it, and have asked the bacon […]

Like millions of people, I have consistently counted pizza among my favorite foods. National chain pizza, local takeout pizza, homemade pizza, and yes, even frozen pizza (and pizza-like products). If it was bread topped with sauce, cheese, and pepperoni, I was all for it. As a native Chicagoan, it didn’t even have to be topped in that order. So while pepperoni […]

After simultaneously hitting the big milestones of six months of keto and 50 pounds lost, the scale has unexpectedly stalled over the past couple of weeks. I kept calm and ketoed on, of course, but I also decided to start working out again to hopefully sweat my way out of the slump. I’ve been inconsistent with it for the past […]
