Part of the reason I love keto so much is because cutting out sugars and carbs usually leads to eating a lot more fresh foods and a lot fewer processed foods with fillers, artificial preservatives, and other chemical additives. But while I definitely do value the taste and health benefits of a quality grassfed steak…I have to admit to still being a sucker […]

As much as I enjoy a good steak or plate of chicken wings, it’s nice to enjoy lighter protein options every so often too. Tilapia is a surprisingly versatile white fish, but has a reputation for being somewhat bland because it isn’t as flavorful on its own compared to something like salmon, or dry, because it can be easy to overcook.

There’s nothing quite like a warm bowl of soup on a cold winter day, but somehow I only just realized that you could make a warming winter soup with something other than winter veggies.

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 […]

Surprisingly, pasta was one of the easier things for me to give up when I started keto. Pasta was cheap and filling (which are great qualities in food as a college student) but the pasta itself always seemed more like a neutral delivery vehicle for the meat and sauce that was the actually desirable part of the meal. Zucchini does that job just […]

I love Asian food. Chinese, Thai, Indian, Japanese, you name it and I’m all for it. Cauliflower, on the other hand, I’m not such a huge fan of. I mean, it’s okay…but growing up, it was always my least favorite ingredient in those vegetable medleys. So when I started keto, I had a choice to make: learn to love cauliflower, or […]
