Fat makes up the outside layer of every cell in your body. Our hormones need it, our muscles need it and (a lack of it) can lead to endless raging cravings for sugar at every turn. How (and why) I am no longer scared of eating fat and choose to follow a keto eating style.
Gluten-free and paleo donuts cut like sandwiches filled with dairy-free vanilla custard and topped with melted dark chocolate. Traditionally, Boston Cream Donuts are yeast-risen donuts with custard in the middle. They’re fried, they’re glutenous and packed with sugar. I’ve seen a couple of grain-free and paleo Boston Cream Donuts out there but when I saw…
Everything you ever wanted to know about coconut. From coconut milk, to coconut butter, coconut water, coconut nectar and everything in between. Coconut has saved my ketogenic life numerous times. Green Coconut Curry, Biscuits and Bread, and Coconut Cauliflower Rice. In each of these adventures, I used a different form of coconut. What’s the difference…
Two Eggnog recipes. The first, a Vegan Eggnog Coffee (or tea) Creamer that will transform a boring cup of coffee into a healthy eggnog latte. The second, a Light, Dairy-free Eggnog recipe made with dairy-free milk, ground spices and a touch of coconut sugar.

It seems everyone these days has been personally affected by cancer in one way or another. When my Dad was diagnosed a couple of years ago, our whole world changed in the blink of an eye. It was rough on him, our family, and his love for bacon. Yes, you better believe his diet went…
I’m generally not one to wish away the week, but boy am I happy that it’s Friday. Today’s my rest day from the gym so I treated myself to a 30 minute sleep in. It doesn’t sound like much, but when you wake up at 3:30am every minute counts. I have leftover homemade pad thai…
Do you ever get a waft of a familiar smell and get sent right back to the moment you were introduced to that scent for the first time? If you haven’t, please don’t think I’m weird. I swear that there are people in the world whose memories are triggered by scent. And I just happen…
